LETTER FROM JAS. SNOD6RASS

lGllth fhUM JAS. SNUUohASS
 Editor Picayune:
 l promised to report on my re- turn from the County Union at Emmet on the IT and IS. Lan- guage failes to express our re- gard for the good people of Em- met while there, both union and non-union. Bro. Rev. J. J. Rid ling and JIM. Thomas manifested great interest in our meeting which we will never forget. We had good attendance each day; everyone enjoyed themselves. Each day we had dinner on the ground, served by the ladies of Emmet and surrounding com munity. What those ladies don't know about manufacturing good vituals would not make a book, they know their business. The people of Emmet are up to date. The school building is a credit to any town. They have a large hall upstairs in the school build ing, and we were rendered the uee of it for speaking purposes the first evening we got there, we accepted of course. At night we had speech from Bro. Moore, of Hope, our agricultural man, on the boil weevil. We also had a splendid speech by R. E. Crump, the principal of the Emmet High School. The people of Emmet are very proud of Bro. Crump, with the exception of one or two old people, who told Bro. Crump that their only objection was that he was rather young, and that he was yet unmarried. Brother Crump assured them that if they would give him time he would improve with age, and if his best girl. who lives in Oklahoma, did not go back on him, that he would have the objection adjust ad soon. I did not hear any ob- jection to Bro. Crump being a single man by any of the young ladies of Emmet. am satisfied in my mind if Bro. Crump wants a good cook in connection with a good wife, he would do well to patronize Emmet or the surround ing community. As cooks l know the world can't beat them.
 After the general routine of business was attended to in our union. we organized the Sons of Rest, with the following officers: Prof Legg, president; Gordon Cook, chairman, and Ex-sheriff Phillips, secretary. We had no trouble organizing. MT. Editor l will be called out at at 5 o'clock in the morning. 1 wish you to see President L. P. Hitchcock and tell him out side of the Sons of Rest as an organization, there is nothing to it except the church and Woman's Temperance Union. When 1 get in off this trip 1 am going to make an attempt to speak entirely for the good of the order. Yours truly,
 Jas. Snodgrass.

OBITUARY

OBITUARY
 On Sunday evening. Sept. 13 1908, our mother, Mrs. Martha s. Mendenhall, died very sudden ly of thrombosis, at her home, Mendenhall, Nevada County, Ark, where she had lived since 1860. She had not been very sick, only little puny a day or two before, and was feeling bet ter. She prepared dinner and entertained company the day she died. After eating she com- plained of a little head ache or dizziness and said she would lie down and take a nap and the ones present thought she was sleeping natural, but finally heard her her make a strange heaving noise and went to her and found she was unconscious. Medical aid was sought but she died be- fore the arrival of the doctor.
 Now for the benefit of rela. tives and friends throughout the country will say that she was the daughter of Jones Baker. and was born in South Carolina, Aug. IF, 1844. She professed religion and joined the M. E. Church South early in life, of which she lived a consistent member and a devoted Christian to the last. She moved with the family in 1859 to this state near where she died. The funeral services were conducted by Bro. Johnston. pas tor in charge of her church. and was buried in Pleasant Hill Ceme- tery, Monday. Sept. IA. by the side of her husband, Geo. w. Mendenhall, to whom she was married in November 1860. Seven boys were born unto them, five of them are now living. All are grown and married. Two died while quite young. She was in- strumental in bringing about a reformation in his life, and he too joined the church with her, and at once erected a family altar. and kept the sacred fire burning theron continuously till his death on July IS. 1896. 1 furthermore wish to say that my father was rational up to a short time before he died, and when the doctor told him he could not live but few minutes, he assur- us he had no fears of meeting his God, ane talked of the sweet be- yond and asked us to live so as to meet him after death, and oy his request we all did enter into the covenant. All five of their living sons with their families, except three who were not able to get there. were present at the funeral, and we renewed the covenant made with ou- father twelve years ago. Quite a num- Der of our relatives and friends also met the proposition. This makes the second one of the old covenant who has joined my father in the glory land, as our own little Geo. F. passed over the river in about IS months after he died. and joined him with little Johnnie and Georgie. who died in infancy. Now. dear family and friends lets, by the help of our Lord and Master, live in humble obedience to His will, that we too may have a part in the glorious resurrection of the just, An inheritance incorrupt- table and undefiled, and that fadeth not away" We can't af- ford to miss it. Think of the House not made with hands eternal in the heavens" with a reunited family. with the angelic louA of f~;ox dc a ad ,,c all ri nu
