Judge John R. Enochs. Be it resolved by
the Rankin County Sunday School Con.

of the sterling integrity and matchless
character of this noble Christian gentle

above reproach, and in whose death the
state has lost one of her noblest citizens
and the church that he loved so dearly has
been deprived of one of her most faithful
and Jealous sons.

Of his sickness he said that he fel} that he

hood was passed In farming, milling and
teaching school until 1876, when he was
elected county treasurer and moved to
| Brandon where he has continuously resi-
ded. At the expiration of his term of
office he was reelected.
In 1879 he was admitted to the bar,
which noble profession he dignified by an
able, pure and conscientious life.
He served two terms i'm the State legis-
lature. Twelve years ago he was ap-
pointed Circuit Judge, the appointment
coming from his fellow-townsman, Gov
ernor A. j. McLaurin. His administra-
ton was SO acceptable both to the bar and
the people that he was re-appointed by
Governor Longino, thus serving eight
years on the bench.
In January 1880, he marnied Miss Fam
ME Shaw. the daughter of Mr.. Daniel
Shaw, both of whom survive him. Of
this union were born five ohildren-De-
Witt, Shaw, Sarah Elizabeth, Ruby and

est daughter Ruby was converted and in
January of this year his youngest son
John was received into the cisanoh by the
pastor. Thus he lived to see iais entire
family saved and on the way to heaven.
Judge Enochs was man Of sturdy
mould, physically and mentally. He was
tender-hearted and generous to fault.
He gave with unstnting hand to the
cause of his Master, and literally aided
every worthy cause of suffering humanity.
While he may not have left his family
provided with an abundance of the goods
of the world, he left them the most price
less of legacies, noble and untarnished
name.
Heis now happy beyond our conception
awaiting the final reunion by and by.
May the abiding influence of his sane
tilted life long be felt by those who knew
him best, and may our Heavenly Father
comfort with the Christians hope the
widow and children and SO direct their
lives that they all may meet as an undi-
vided family at the last Great Day and be
assigned mansion in Gods Eternal City.

Clear Branch.

The first boil of cotton open, in this
community was discovered on the 10Th
inst, in Mr.. Sam Byrds farm.
AS there.is scarcity of news this week
| will write few lines on the subject:
How would you like to be talked about. "
The subject is one that needs due con-
slderation. The first thing to consider is
whether the talk be true or false. If it be
false, one can answer for all. No one
would like to be talked about, if the talk
be truth. It brings another question into
consideration. that is the character and
truthfulness of the person talked about,
if a person be rude or dishonest he does
not want to be talked about even though
it be the truth, because it establishes his
character to the world and hurts his feel
ings. He feels guilty, he is unworthy
and can't be trusted, he is cramped in
society and seeks to get among his kind.
II person is truthful and honest, he does
not object to being talked about, il its the
truth, because it establishes his character
to the world. He feels welcome in society
and his influence and example is uplifting
to mankind.
We get the idea that when we speak
VI a pCISUll, VIC SilUutu hHOW tlldl VIC etl z
speaking the truth and the person truth
fu. Then you have made no enemies,
done no harm and maybe some good by
speaking we'll of your neighbor.
What shall we do with the man who
does not want the truth told about him?
shall we let him go.and say by our ac-
tons, go on SO you don't bother me. Not
telling on him for fear of his burning you
out or something else. Shall we let him
90? answer no, the remedy is talk to,
not about him, f4he does not heed and is
a law breaker turn him over to legal au-
thorities. Then you have done justice to
the man and your country.
A person that always speaks the truth
about his feloWman, never does his neigh
Dor any harm, if he tells falsehoods, he
does himself more harm than any one
else. Sometime jokes 60 out for facts
and cause deal of trouble.
May God help US to be loyal citizens,
faithful to the discharge of our duties,
and to the Cause of Christ.

my promise will mention the many place:

arrived at Washington on the morning
of the 10th. The first sight that greeted
my eyes was the grand new union station
which is considered the finest in the world
as walked up the steps and rubbered
around felt like ''Uncle JOSH" Thi:
station including the approach, which
covers or acres, cost nine million dol
lars, you can imagine from that it must be
very fine.
After leaving the station we went home
and in the afternoon we went to the
White House grounds and listened to the
marine band play. | enjoved the music
very much, but did not enjoy having to
sit side by side with the negroes, better
known here as ladies and gentlemen of
color.
The first might've went down to the
business section of the city to see the illu-
limitations which were very pretty. Wash
ington is very easy to get around in on
account of the streets being so conven-

The next place went was the capitol,

4 acres of ground.

reading room is open to the public until 10

steps.
The next building, which, if had space
enough to explain would be of interest to
you, IS the government printing office,
they employ four thousand men. The
guide took US through every room and
explained everything carefully, there is
more things to tell about this large office
which is the largest in the world, than

The Smithsonian Institution is another
very interesting place, you see relics from
all over the world, including the uniforms
worn by the army officers Of the long past

Judge John r. EnOChS.

1.-The state has sustained the loss of one
of it's most honored citizens, and the
church has been deprived of the services
OF one of her most devoted sons, i'm the
death of Judge John R. Enoehs, which
event occurred on the morning of Thurs
day, July 2nd, 1908, at his residence in
Brandon, Miss, When in the presence of
those whom he loved best his spirit pass
ED into the realm of the eternally blessed.
1 Early in the year, while in apparently
rtobust health, he was stricken will, grippe
Which disease involved his heart. He re-
Allied the gravity of the disease and soon
Hnew that he would not recover.
] AS his pastor it was my privilege to
,kisit him frequently during his long ill
rhess, and my intimate association with
this sanity man will ever be to nae of
blessed memory.
Time and again he assured me that he
shad no fear of death, but tears would
lcome to his eyes as he would speak of the
| impending break in the family circle.
His faith was firm, and his hope coafi-
dent of soon meeting the Master whom be
aoved so dearly and whom he had SO
faithfully served as loyal son of the
gospel.
In the death of this jealous and devoted
man of God, the church has sustained a
loss that cannot now be estimated.
AS steward Judge Enochs was per-
haps without peer. He was one of the
very few men who actually took de-
light in raising money for all the various
enterprises of the church.
Not only was he jealous in the f1nan-
cial interests ofthe church, but he was
efficient in every department of religious
activity. He has stood in the pulpit and
preached the gospel, in the Sunday-school
he taught the Bible class among them,
men and women older than he. and in
prayer he literally talked as with face to
face with God.
Perhaps he was the only Circuit. Judge
in Mississippi who opened the daily ses-
sions of his court with prayer. He was
man of pure and chaste conversation. In
his last days, when his magnificent intel
lect was impaired by disease, it is said by
those who constantly ministered to him
that not one word escaped his lips but
might have been heard by his wife and
daughters, and the words that fell thus
unconsciously indicated that his thoughts
were about the things of God
His well marked Bible was his constant
companion, and Is one of the most pre-
ciouS gifts that he has left his loved ones.

Bull Dog Kills Horse.

Evansville, Ind, Dec. 7.-Furious
with animal revenge. a gigantic bull
dog belonging to Gordon Devon, fur
niture mover, Canal street and Cor
don avenue attacked a big draught
horse, tore the flesh from the ami
mails hips, and left it dying.
The bull dog has always had a ha-
tired for horses. 1t is thought that
when it was a pup a horse kicked It
and that the dog had never forgotten
the hurt.
Once before the dog attacked a
horse belonging TO Devon. 1t was
beaten off Just in time to save tie
big animals life.
For a long while the owner Of the
bull dog would not let 1t come near
one of his horses. Lately. however,
the dog has shown less of its old ma
tired of horses, and Devon, needing a
watch dog in his stable, has locked
it up with his horse at nignt.
Tie dog was chained each night.
The chain was a length to prevent
tive dog reaching the throat Of tAe
horse nearest to it, should it try 10
attack it. Devon believed that tue
horse could protect itself with its
hoofs it the dog attacked it from be-
hind.
Early yesterday morning while tie
big bay draught horse in the stall
nearest the dog lay asleep in its stall,
the dog stole up to 1t. leaped upon
it's launches, and left it dying.
Devon found the horse groaning in
its stall when ne went into the sta
BILE in the morning. Near it lay the
bull dog, watching tine wounded horse
with bright impassive eyes.
Patrolman Fuchs, who saw the
horse during the day, says taat It
is impossible to save its life. He
reported the matter last night to HUI
name Officer Springer.
The dog is splendid type of tine
bull dog, being nearly three feet higli,
with wide curving legs and a highly
muscled breast.
