As You Like It Club.

This Club was entertained January
17th by Mrs. nellie Trice Berkley in
compliment to her cousin, Miss M. Lily
Johnson, of Georgia.
Mrs Berkley was assisted by Miss
johnson and Mrs Clay McGaughy. Tie
graciousness of this trio, led by so
charming a hostess as Mrs Berkeley,
made the afternoon round of success
ses. After social conf ab, an original
contest was submitted,
Laughing faces became thoughtful,
brows began to pucker, for there were
fifteen questions to be answered in
twenty minutes. AS prizes have gone
out of fashion, Mrs Berkley had ready
a dainty little froo froo bow of blue to
be pinned on the successful contestant.
But she had reckoned without her
guests, for they proved themselves such
good "guessers" that nearly all had ev-
cry answer correct. Score one for the

While they were still circled around
the tables, refreshments were served

manner in which it was blended in the
contest.

The Annual Quilting.

The Annual Quilting of the Home
Mission Society of the Methodist church
occurred the oath inst. at the beautiful
home of Mrs. Sim Kinds. A large at
tendance of willing workers and lovely
weather made the day round of sue
cesses. While needles flew in and out
of an old-fashioned patchwork quilt,
merry voices-old and young-with
ripping laughter, kept things lively.
In an adjoining room scissors were
flashing, and machines were crashing,
for the rest of the band had to be en-
ployed. There were aprons and ap-
rons! till fifteen were made to the
finish. There was an ''annex" to this
quilting frolic. Across the street at
Mrs. Turner Clark eight of the squad
were gathered around another quilt.

Brother Felts was master of cere-
monies; the second time Mr.. Kinds fell
heir to this Office, and the third time
Master William Kinds officiated. Every
thing lent itself to the charm of the

was decorated with ferns and other

Mrs, Elizabeth Abernethy.

The announcement of the death of
Mrs. Elizabeth Abernethy at her home
near Shannon on the 23rd inst was re-
ceived here with much regret where
this good woman was well and favor
ably known. For several months she
was constant sufferer but bore her
Affections without complaint She was
the recipient of the treatment of phys
icians and tender nursing from her low
ed ones and friends. but it was power
less to stay the hand of death.
Mrs. Abernethy was devout chris
tian, and for many years a consistnet
member of the Baptist church. She was
a devoted wife, an affectionate mother,
a kind, generous friend and neighbor,
and her loss will be keenly felt by not
only the members of her family but by
a large circle of friends who loved her
for her christian virtues.
The interment took place in the GEM
etery at Shannon, Rey Stewart Baskin,
conducting the funeral services. A large
concourse of frienes gathered to pay
the last tribute Of respect.
To tn, bereaved family we extend
our coincidence in their great sorrow.

In The Wholesale Business.

Andy White, one legged negro was
overtaken In his peculations which have
evidently been going on some time as
the amount of stolen goods he had in
his possession would indicate that he
anticipated opening up general line of
merchandise in the near future, After
his arrest by Constable Rains quite a
quantity of merchandise was found in
his possession. He divided his thefts
between the merchants of the city but
with some he made heavier hauls than
with others. From Asa w. Allen Co.
he took guns, axes, shoes, clothing.
gloves, shirts, buttons, and gun shells,
from Kinds Brothers, two fine overcoats
and pair of shoes: from Ballard Dry
Goods Co., Ladies cloak, from Norbin
Stone, shoes. from l.. H, Dabbs, lot
of fine razors. These goods were found
and identified. White was brought
before ESQ.,, Ritter Monday and after
examining the case in default of bail
he was sent to Jail to await the action
of the grand jury.

CROSSES OF HONOR
ARE CONFERRED
BY Daughters Of the Confederacy.
Tributes Of Respect Read
and Adopted.

On the occasion of comforting
crosses of honor by the Daugh-
ters of the Confederacy there
was a small number eff veterans
present, owing to the disagree
able weather at the time. The
veterans are growing too old and
feeble to face the cold as they
once did and at each meeting in
bad weather the number grows
perceptibly less. Those present
had a good time, as they always
do when they get together under
the auspices of the Daughters
who know how to please and en-
tertain them.
After the opening service the
following committee on memori-
ais was appointed, the Daugh-
teri and Camp holding joint
meetings:
j. M. Hoyle, W. L. Clayton,
W: F. Sparks, who reported as
follows:
Whereas, since our last meet
ing death has invaded our ranks
and taken from this Camp four
of our most valued comrades, to-
wit: j. A. Thompson, R. M.
Martin. of Tupelo; J. M. Williams
of Shannon, and C. P. Dickerson
OF Tupelo, therefore be it
Resolved, that we deplore the
death of these, our comrades,
who were prominent citizens of
the county in time of peace and
brave soldiers and officers in time
of war. We hereby teuder their
families and friends our sincere
coincidence, and to we who are
left we admonish to be We also
ready, for we know not when
our time shall come.

Notice To Patrons of Rural Routes,

The postmaster at Tupelo desires to
call the attention to the practice of
some patrons Of rural delivery of plac-
ing loose coins in their boxes each time
they desire to dispatch letters instead
of supplying themselves with postage
in advance Of their needs.
This practice imposes undue hardships
on the rural carriers when removing
loose coins from boxes and delays them
on the service of their routes. The
postmaster, therefore, urgently request
that patrons Of rural delivery provide
themselves and keep on hand a supply
of stamps consistent with and in ad-
vance of their needs. 1t is also very de-
sirable that rural patrons place in their
mail boxes small detachable cups of
wood or tin, in which to place coins
when necessary, in purchasing supplies
of stamps.

In Memory of Mrs. Elizabeth Abern.thy

In Memory of Mrs. Elizabeth Alternately.
Chow dark are the shadows that linger
tonight
| lovely and bright
Deaths angel has passed FER the fam
lily hearth,
And pIucked from its circle the
| falrest of earth"
Mrs. Elizabeth Abernethy. wife of ] :.
| B. Abernethy, died at her home near
Shannon January %, 1908. She was
raised at Fayette, Ala, and has been
| resident of this county the past eigh-
teen years. Deceased was sixty-seven
years of age and had been consistent
member of the Baptist church since
twelve years Of age. Her husband and
seven children survive her.
The funeral services were conducted
at her home by Rev. Baskin, and the
remains were followed to the cemetery
by long procession of friends, and
many beautiful memorial wreaths were
placed upon her grave.
Mrs. Abernethy was another good
mother, whose life shone with purity
and benevolence, and was nerved with
fortitude to stand firm beneath the
cross of raising children and grand
children. She welded a pious influence
around her freside which will never be
effaced from the souls of these loved
ones.
Her children and companion have felt
that there was no fountain of love so
deep and strong for them as that with
in her heart.
We have prayed in the shadows of
such dark hours. and have felt loves
heavy loss of mother. and wish we
could in some way lesson the weight of
their sorrow, which makes the evening
shadows linger longer these winter
days and fill so much of the years to
come. 'Tis good for the bereaved ones
to think of such an example of life as
hers was.
Mother, thou art gone to thy resting
place
Where mortal cares are felt no
more:
Thou art gone to that paradise of love
Thy home on yonder:celestial shore.
Whatever in this life may be our. lot,
We ne'er will censure this heart of
thine,
For thou dids't teach our hearts to love,
AS we grew up beside thy sacred
shrine.
