MR.. ROB'T. S. YOUNG.

News reached St. Joseph to-day
of the sudden death at his home on
Beaupre plantation in Adams coun-
| ty, Miss, on Thursday night of
Mr.. ROb't. S. Young, aged about
so years.
Mr.. Young was the eldest son of
DR.. Benz. F. Young, an ante bellum
planter, physician and gentleman.
His mother was Miss Sample, who
died in his infancy.
Mr.. Young was a half brother of
Col. Wade r. Young of Natchez
and of Judge s. Chas. Young and
the late Col. w. C. Young of Ten
sas parish.
Mr.. Young was one of the most
highly educated and intellectual
scholars of his day. Graduating at
Yale in his young manhood, at
which University he held the post
of librarian, he afterwards travelled
and studied extensively in Europe.
He was a close student his entire
life and had gathered at his home
back of Natchez one of the finest
libraries to be found i'm the South,
as indeed there were few men his
intellectual equal.
While Mr.. Young was never mar
ried he was always domestically in
clined and was never happier than
when contributing to the pleasure
and amusement of the young, nor
did he tire of their presence.
Born and bred a gentleman and
defending from q long and honor
able line he was truly a chevalier
of the old school.
Although Mr.. Young was a menu
Der of no particular church, he
exemplifed, by his high toned and
honorable life, the teachings of
the golden rule, and unfailingly
evinced practical piety that will
long be remembered as the best of
professions. His charity, quietly
and unaustentaciously extended, |
the right hand never cognizant
of the doings of the left,-was linn
tied only only by his revenue.
There was a daily beauty about
his life which won every heart. In
temperament he was mild, concil-
atory and candid; and yet remark
able for an uncomprcmising firm.
ness. He gained confidence when |
he seemed to least seek it.
He believed in the fatherhood |
Of God and the brotherhood
Of man. He believed that the
man who scatters flowers in the
pathway of his fellowmen, who
let's into the dark places of life
the sunshine of human sympathy
and human happiness, is following
IN the footsteps of his Master. |

JolInston-Ellis.

Mr.. James S. Johnston of St. 10.
seph and Miss Ruth ]. Ellis Of
Bayou Vidal, were married on Wed.
nesday, June Both, at the home Of
the brides sister, Mrs. Perry Funk.
on Wavely plantation, in Madison
parish, Rev. p. H. Fontaine of
Waterproof, officiating.
Miss Ellis is the daughter of Mr..
}. &. Ellis, prominent citizen and
cotton planter of Madison parish
and a member of the Police Jury of
that parish. Miss Ellis, now Mrs.
Johnston, is well known in St. Jo-
seph, where she lived for. several
years, making many pleasant ac-
qualntances and forming many
friendships as result of those af-
fable and attractive traits of mind
and disposition that have won for
her the admiration of a large circle
OF friends wherever she is known.
She is truly a splendid type of
southern woman in whom the
stronger traits of character are hap
PLY blended with the finer and
gentler qualities that insure the good
wife and help-mate and make for
the happiness of the domestic circle.
Mr.. James Johnston is a son of
our fellow townsman, and Game
Warden of Tensas parish, Mr.. Chas.
Johnston, and nephew of Bishop
Johnston of Texas. The groom is
a young business man of high char
acter, energy and sterling worth,
and while we congratulate him most
heartily on his good fortune in win
ming his lovely bride, we feel that
ne is highly worthy of the prize
that he has drawn, and we wish for
the newly married couple that their
pathway through life may ever be
lighted by the beacon of happiness
and that they may win rewards we
think so justly should be theirs.
Owing to the prominence of the
contracting parties in the social
world in both Tensas and Madison
parishes there will be great num-
Der OF friends and admirers to ex-
tend to them their good will and
good wishes, in which the Gazette
most heartily joins.
Mr.. and Mrs. Johnston returned
10 st. Joseph after the ceremony.
where they will reside. Many hand
some and costly presents received
accompanied by good wishes of
friends attest their popularity.

The Newport miner. [volume] (Newport, Wash.) 1899-current, 1909-09-09

| Speaking to the representatives Of
| the press, Dr. Cook said he left at
| the North Pole an American flag and
| box containing documents, includ-
| Ing brief account OF the trip and
| observations and the data to bear
out his claim, and that he brought
| back the most exact observations,
absolutely proving his statement.
| The explorer also said he kept a
diary throughout his entire exped1-
ton, In which he recorded the most
minute details.
DR.. Cook stated in part:
Concerning the ice around the
Pole, it was slightly more active
there than at one or two degrees
south It's general character was
not very different from that at other
places We stayed around the Pole
for two days making many Observa-
lions. l don't claim to have put my
finger on the exact spot; I do not
claim to have put my foot on it, but
personally | think We have been at
the spot When the observations
have been figured out again, it is
possible that there will be found
slight errors and differences, but I
am certain that a gunshot fired from
where we were would have passed
over the Pole"
Prepared to Face Scrutiny.
Il am quite prepared to place my
observations before any geographical
society in the world I have already
received kilograms from the geo.
graphical societies of Sweden, Nor
way, Denmark, Belgium and other
countries, which congratulate me.
LAS to the temperature at the
Pole, it was minus SO. l took about
400 photographs, one OF which
shows the American flag flying.
These have not been developed.
THE daily distance covered on the
northward trip was slightly less than
Is miles; on the southwark trip it
was 10 miles.
Last Animals at SO Degrees.
I'VE lived entirely on dried meat
and beef tallow, reducing the food
problem to a science. The last trace
of animals We saw was a bear track
at S3 degrees Afterwards we did
not even see anything in the water
except aIgae."
