In MemOriam.

After months of WEAKNESS and illness
and long period of suffering, Mrs.
Julia McMath has gone from us into the
great unseen.
During the early morning hours, be-
fore the dawn of June 23d, she put on
the robes of righteousness and was
transplanted to that upper and better
world to dwell forever in the presence of
our Lord and Savior, serving Him in a
more perfect way in that bright and
beautiful home of the soul.
Julia never made any great demon
stration over anything, but was always
friend-true and tried. Those who knew
her longest loved her best, which is
test of christian character. She was of
reserved and retiring nature. Like
the modest violet in forest shade, or the
soft glinting sunlight on the ripping
waters of a moss-bound brook, she
quietly sent forth her sweet, joy-giving
life.
heaven, for she had long ago made the
acquaintance of her Savior. Her death
was but the shadow of His hand. She
was always patient and submissive, ever
prayerful, and perfectly resigned to
| Gods will.
Mrs. McMath was born in Bellevue
December 81, 1870, and was married to
| Mr.. J. H. McMath December %, 1899.
| She united with the Methodist Church
in Marshall, Texas, during 1880, and
united with the Haughton Methodist
Church last year. She left faithful
mother, a devoted husband and five
loving children to grieve for an irrepar-
able loss.
May the God of love and mercy COM
/ fort them with His own consolation is
the earnest prayer of
MARY LAWRENCE.

The NeWSbOy.
Written by j. o. MoDIsETTE, of the Shreveport bar,


What noise. Do you hear?-
Away down the dusty or muddy street?
just be patient, do not fear
IT'S the trampling of the newsboys feet.
Let the weather be fair or foul,
You see the newsboys' business bold.
The sun may shine, the wind may howl;
Yet the newsboy comes-hot or cold.
Early in the morning late at night
When other people do sleep or rest,
You can hear the newsboy yell out the sights,
Offering and selling papers 6 the best
How melodiols is the sound
When the newsboy comes around
Crying, Shreveport Times, morning paper!
Don't you want paper, Mister?'
just think, would town be complete
Without the tramp of newsboys' feet
To wake you morning or night,
just to buy paper ''bright?''
Shreveport has wealth untold
In boarded silver and envied gold,
But here are found her richest JOYS
Upon her streets--her little neWsboys.

1t seems that the charge of assault
against Congressman Heflin, of Ala
bama, who a few weeks ago chastised
an insolent negro on a Washington
street car, is not to be pushed. The
case was scheduled for trial last
week, and Mr.. Hefin, who is now at
his home in Birmingham, was pre-
pared to return to Washington, but
received a telegram from his counsel
stating that it would not be necessa-
ry, as District Attorney Baker had
agreed TO allow the case to go over
until next fall.
