No. A..
The u. D. C's. and February 18th.

No one would suspect the dignifed
Daughters of the Confederacy would
get mixed up in an affair with old st.
valentine, Cnpid, hearts and things.
But that is what they did. or intended
to do, on the 18th. This frolic, howev-
er, was postponed till the Monday fol-
lowing. Mrs. J. w. Yates entertained
the Daughters that afternoon, at the
residence of Mrs. Sam Yates. This
home is beautifully adapted to the en-
tertainment of large functions, and
was especially lovely at this time. Par
lor and halls were decorated in the u.
D. c. colors. Carrying out the senti-
ment OF the 14th, there were red hearts
and white hearts great strings of
them-some in pairs and some singly,
while Cupid was out with his whole
company.
Standing on q corner of the mantel in
the parlor, was life size Cupid, the
work OF the little artistic in the home.
He had gilded bow but the arrow had
been spent and had pierced great red
heart that stood on the opposite end of
the mantel. This was a charming and
unique concelt, and much admired.
AS the guests arrived the little daugh-
ters of Mrs. Sam Yates met them and
presented souvenir. This was white
heart banded in red, and on the face in
gilt, "U. D. G., 1908.'' Though this
gathering was largely social, a short
program was rendered, the honored
president, Mrs. Hood, being in charge.
Program opened with prayer by the
hostess. There were readings by Mes
danes Kinds, Baker, Clark and Mason
and Miss Witherspoon and talks by
Mesdames Clark and Yates. Clytie and
Erlene Yates sang, "The Homespun
Dress, written during thd war,
Miss Lily Johnson gave a toast to
Cupid and st Valentine, then refresh
ments were passed. There were dain-
ty heart-shaped cakes in red and in
white, served with frozen Cupid.
There were twelve invited guests and
all seemed to enjoy the afternoon very
much. The next place of meeting will
be decided on soon.

beautiful flowers among us-at

children. To Him may all our

s. r: Harkey.

The announcement two weeks ago this
morning that MIST. Harkey had been
stricken with paralysis the evening be-
fore at his home was received with
| universal regret. His condition was
serious from the first, but it was hoped
that the disease would yield to the
treatment. and all the skill of the best
! physicians was brought into the case
but without avail. Gradually growing
worse he expired just one week from
the time he was stricken.
Mr.. Harkey served the county as
county treasurer when Young man
with fidelity that afterwards marked
his every career. Mr.. Harkey, for the
past eighteen years. was the president
of the First National Bark Of Tupelo.
For several years he Wa. cashier Of the
Bank of Silver City, New Mexico, but
resigning his position there, he came
to Tupelo and organized the First Ma
tional Bank and remained at it's head
during the past eighteen years. C.lder
his direction the Bank became one OF
the most popular and substantial bank
ing institutions in the state. and the
stock continued tn rise In value until it
reached high p emium. In all bust
ness Mr.. Harkey .ield the utmost conf
dence of every one who knew him. He
was man of rugged honesty and did
nothing by halves. He was uncompro-
missing in his position when he decided
upon his course. In all matters per-
tanning to the public good he was found
always upon the right side and exerted
the full power of his influence to bring
about the best result, He was public
spirited and gave freely of his means
for the upbuilding of those enterprises
which he considered of the best inter-
to the community. AS a friend he
stuck as close as brother, and anyone
who held his friendship can testify to
his answering fidelity.
In church work he displayed the great
est zeal and was foremost in all mat
ters looking to the upbuilding of chris
tianity. For many years he served as
steward of the Methodist church and
also as superintendent of the Sunday
School. He was prompt and regular in
the discharge of his Christian duties,
and no man ever gave more literally
than he to every cause which the church
represented and advocated.
In his home life he displayed strong
characteristics of his nature and was
in every way devoted to every member
of his family. 1t was his desire that
they should be given every advantage,
and no man ever displayed greater de-
votion or affectionate regard for his
wife and children. To them he was all
that husband and father could be and
in his passing away their loss is irrep-
arabic.
The funeral services were conducted
from the Methodist church last Satnr-
day evening, where large concourse
assembled to pay their last tribute of
respect to their departed friend. Revs.
J. 7. Cunningham, John H. Mitchell,
Presiding Elder of this District, and j.
H. Felts, pastor of the Methodist church
here, spoke briefly, but in eloquent
terms, of the life and character of the
deceased. The interment took place in
the cemetery here Floral offerings
from the MANY friends here and abroad
were numerous and beautiful.
The bereaved family have the deep
est sympathy of every one in the hour
Of their great sorrow.

Mrs. Louisa Dozier.

Mrs. Louisa Dozier, widow of the
late DR.. ] M DoZier. passed away at
her home near Cedar Grove. Pontotoc
county. on the evening of Friday the
9th inst. Her death came suddenly,
but not as death, but as a gentle sleep
into which the weary traveller peace
fully and gently falls at the end of his
journey.
Mrs Dozier was born November 5th,
1916, her life covering nearly the en-
tire span of the past century She was
born in Alabama. came to Mississippi
when quite young, and with her family
has resided in Pontotoc county since
that time She was woman of attain
ments and intellectual qualitiesj and
was given all the advantages of educa-
cation that were afforded in the ante bel
lum,days She possessed the refinement
and culture characteristic of the period
in which she was born and reared and
retained to the last the high ideals of
life that characterized her younger
days
Mrs Dozier was Presbyterian and
lived up to the tenets of the faith in
which she found endless pleasure and
boundless hope of blessed immortal
ity.
Mrs Dozier leaves three children to
mourn her loss; Mr.. w A Dozier and
Mrs Selma Anderson of Tupelo and
Mr. James Dozier of Pontotoc county.
Her remains were carried to Ponto-
toe and laid to rest py the side of her
husband who proceeded her to the grave
many years ago. The funeral services
were conducted by Rev. j. ]. McEnnis
pastor Of the Presbyterian church at
PontOtoc.
In the passing away of this good wo-
man another link that binds the pres
ent to the past has been broken, but
her bsautiful life, full of holy influences
will remain always as sweet benedict
ion for those who knew her and were
associated with her.

SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASS ENTERTAINED.

The same evening from to IL. Mrs.
Sam Yates and Mrs. Clay McNutt en-
tertained their Sunday School class,
numbering forty-two. Same style of
refreshments as in the afternoon were
served. Everybody was so chatty and
jolly there seemed no time for a pro-
gram, but there was something doing
between times till the close. The su
perintendent, Mr.. Strain, opened with
PRAYER, reports from the different COM
mittees were read, and suggestions made
for broadening the work
Several guests graciously contributed
music. Miss Johnson was asked to re-
peat her toast and Clytie and Erlene's
song was asked for. Then Miss John
son announced that there was man
in the house who had no heart
She said each guest would be provi-
ded with red paper heart, and that
the holder must pin it on the spot where
a mans heart was supposed to be. But
from the looks of that man after the
guests were through with him, there
was quite difference of opinion. This
heartless creature that was to receive
so much heart attention, proved to be
life size cardboard man He was brought
out and pinned to the hall door, then the
fun began. Many succeeded in pinning
their hearts in or near the right place,
Mrs. EaYes coming nearest, while 9TH
ers went wide of the mark. Mrs Trice
was turned round and about so
much that she placed her heart on Mr..
Pounds coat sleeve, much to that gen.
tleman's confusion. Mr.. Moore, MAX
ing good certain cid adage, placed
his heart on the mans stomach, first
having located his own. Many thought
Mrs. Carroll made the hit of the eve
ming, for she pinned her heart right
over the mans pocket! Draw your own
conclusions, friends.
Nay the good work grow and grow
and grow! x
