IN MEMORIAM

Whereas the Allwise Provi-
dence has seen fit to remove
from eartn to glory our Brother.
Stephen D. Lee, and whereas he
was co.laborer with us for
number OF years while President
of the College, and
Whereas he at all times walk
ed in and out before US as an ex-
ample and witness for our Saw
ior. be it;
Resolved by this Church that
in his departure to be with
Christ it was our loss and the
loss of all those who came in con-
tact with him IN his daily life.
That not only those, but the
state has lost wise counselor,
the Nation a brave soldier and
patriot. But our chef JOY is
that his whole life was devoted
to the practic and promotion OF
brother hood and that his last
public utterance was to this end:
That in honoring his memory
we can do nothing to reflect
more honor upon his example
than in viewing his life. we may
initiate his virtures in so far as
hs inflated our Savior, and to
fulfill his command as Gen. Lee
tried as faithfully to do; DO good
to all we. z
Resolved that . copy of these
resolutions be spread upon the
Church minutes and 9 copy be
sent to Gen. Lee family.

Editing a Paper.

Some peple imagine that it Is
no trouble much to get out a pa
per-at least, from the number
that can give advice on how it
ought to be done, it would seem
so. The wife of the editor of
the Harlon Iowa, American,
some time since undertook the
task of finishing the news and
other reading matter for that pa.
per, and after trying a short
while. expressed her opinion of
the job IN the following manners.

Mississippi Has a Glorious
Record.

The Supreme Court of the
State of Mississippi has a rec
ord before the States of which
the State should be proud; which
no State excels and which few,
if any equal.
During the past fifteen years
there has been fourteen cases ap-
pealed from the Supreme Court
of Mississippi to the Supreme
Court at Washington. Of these
fourteen, thirteen have been af-
firmed by the highest of all tri-
bunals. and only one reversed
the court being divided on that
one. five to four.
Of these fourteen Justice Tru-
Ia wrote the opinion in one, JUS
tice Terrell in one and Chief JUS.
tice Whittiild in eleven.
Of the eleven opinion written
by Chief Justice Whitfield, the
last being that in the Pontotoc
injunction case, decided last Mon
day, the nine Justices of the
Washington court were unani-
nous in their afflrmatlons in
each and every instance.
The case in which the only re-
versal was experienced was that
of Lum VS.. Fontelroy, and in
which the opinion of the Mlssis
sippi Supreme Court was written
by Justice Terrell. That rever-
sal was by the narrow margin of
to 4, and Justices Harlan and
White we're among the four who
set the seals Of their approval on
it, and dissented.
Such a record is simply mar
velous. It goes to show thai
Mississippi has been making nc
mistake In her selection of Jus
tices-that they rank with the
foremost jnrist of the land, and
are entitled to the respect, admi-
ration and confidence Of all their
admiration aud confidence Of

the number of cars, Meridian
proper, will make a showing
favorable with any roads enter
ing the city.
The Alabama Great Southern
has its southern terminal IN, Me-
ridian, operating over the New
Orleans and Northeastern into
New Orleans. This road oper-
ates passenger trains into Merl-
dian for the accommodation of peo-
pie along the line north who
wish to do business IN Meridian,
and its freight into the city is
very heavy, bringing to the city
thousands Of cars annually with
eastern and Atlantic seaboard
commerce. It is the great high
way to the north and east, and
it's passenger trains and freight
service is ranked among the
best in the South.
The Southern Railway proper
operates into Selma, opening to
the trade of this city the magni-
ficent 'black belt" of Alabama.
This is one of the richest cotton
regions in the South, and deliv-
ers to Meridian congresses thou
sands of bales of cotton every
fall and winter. During the
cotton season the Southern bring
into Meridian solid trains of cot
ton, the bales piled as highas ov-
erhead bridges will allow. and the
approach of one of these trains
with a long train Of fats loaded
to the limit with the feecy staple
while top of each car may be
seen groups of happy negroes
riding free into the city. is
sight that is not soon forgotten
by the visitors to Meridian.
If we credit the Alabama &
Vicksburg and New Orleans &
Northeastern roads with $500
cars, we may assume that the
Mobile & Ohio does a bus mess in
proportion. Basing all the roads
upon the statement in hand from
the Queen & Crescent manage
ment we may assume that Meri-
dian every year receives about
25, 900 loaded cars and ships out
not less than 80, 900 cars the diff
ference in our favor arising from
the large amount of goods manu-
factured in Meridian from raw
stock and shipped to other mar
kets for sale Or consumption.
The value Of these combined
shipments is not obtainable.-
