Obituary..

Little Edwin Lee, infant son of
G. and Mrs. Willie Sharon, was
born Sept. 5, 1906 and died March
27, 1908.
Little Edwin Lee had seen the
flowers of summer come and 90 but
once, and just as spring came with
its chaplet of opening buds soon to
be developed into another summers
Wreaths of flowers, the death angel
claimed him.
There is vacant little chair in
the home, and an aching void in
fond parents hearts, but God doeth
all things well, and while some of
His providences are mysterious to
US we bow inshumble submission to
His will.
The body of little Edwin Lee was
laid to rest in the Pelahatchie
cemetery the day after he died.
The little mound that marks his
resting place was almost totally
covered with flowers brought by
sympathizing friends. May the
Lord comfort and strengthen the
bereaved. T. J. O'NEIL.

Many of Rear Admiral Evans
relatives never have forgiven
him entirely for remaining in the
United States navy during the
Civil War, when his only brother
Sam, his uncles and practically
every other male able tosshoulder
a gun in the neighborhood of
Fairfax, Va, his home town,
went with the south. So angry
was his mother that when she
heard of the death Of one of her
brothers, caused by a Union
bullet, she wrote out resigna-
ton for Robley and mailed it to
President Lincoln.
In due time he received notice
that it had been accepted and he
was Immediately relieved from
duty. Evans fastened to Wash

and was shown the resignation.
Recognizing the handwriting,

then told how it happened.
When the was over he return

fax. Few of the natives deigned
to recognize him, but his mother
met him with open arms and
tears OF JOY. That evening she

were bitten by a man suffering
from hydrophobia, the attack

Orleans tonight to be treated at
the pasteur Institute.
The grim and CHASTITY tragedy

absolutely safe.

was IN a raving condition.
Thompson was a man of ire
mendous physical strength, and
this strength became a source of
danger to those who tried to
succor him. He attacked his
physicians andsnurses and was
not overpowered until fifteen
men had battled with him. He
was placed in a straight jacket.
Tuesday afternoon he broke
the fastening of his steel jacket

Death of Emmie Nicely.

God moves in a MYSTERIOUS way.
His will, His pleasure, and our
destinies are as unknown to mortal
man, as are his existence. He
sends His reaper into the fields to
pluck the tender young flowers at
time that seems not, spring time
to us. Gathering them from
among us when we are least aware
that He is among US. Lovliest and
fairest flowers are they, of earth
that soon fade away.
We are sad at parting with
friends. Our hearts feel deeply
for those to whom they are dearest
and how we would love to express
in words, what our hearts I'M
utterably felt. Miss Emmie Nicely
left us to dwell with friends beyond
the river. Last Sunday evening
at q O'Clock, she paid the debt
allotted to every being. We would
not call her back. She beckons to
US from beyond the Crystal Shore.
She sits in the presence of our
Savior. Angels are singing songs
to her from Gods Throne.
No pain, no cure, sorrow or death
cannot enter there,
For Jesus paid the price on
earth,
That mortals had to bear.
It's true. that Emmie has gone,
but our departed friends are links
that bind us gcloser to God and to
Heaven. HER TEACHER.
