In Mennorian.

On the 10th day of February,
1909, Mr.. Allen c. Pickett, another
of the "Old Guard" and one Of
Monroe County's most honored citi-
zens passed away. Mr.. Pickett
was, during the war between the
States, a member of Co. B. 9th,
Miss. Regt. Inf'try. In his death
another once happy home has been
made desolate, another link in the
family has been severed, another
good and worthy citizen has been
lost to the county and State. Mr..
Pickett was exceedingly patient
and industrious, responding at all
times to the calls of his dearly be-
loved wife, who has been long a
patient sufferer and who still sur
wives, to mourn his loss. We can
only say, this husband, father and
dear friend is gone. Let us try to
emulate his example, meet him on
the other shore, where there will
be no more sickness, pain or death

er is God. A FRIEND

Grandma MahaIa.B rannan.' -

DIED, at the home of her daughter,
Mrs. L. A. Montgomery, at Buena
Vista, Chickasaw County, Miss, April
y, 1909, at the age of 81, Grandma
Mahala Brannan. " She had long lived
in Aberdeen, though in declining
years lived with her daughter, who.car-
ed for her gently and kindly, thinking
er's comfort on earth and administer
ing to her wants as a mother would
for an afflicted child. Her general
health was good. She did not suffer
long, only a few hours. Her death
was a shock to those who were trying
to relieve her sufferings. 1t seemed
as though she tried to slip away from
her loved ones despite of all.
The faithful doctor, whom she loved,
with the son and daughter and many
good neighbors, were by her side;
but alas, Goa sent the Angel of Death
and in moment it had waited the
spirit away to its keeper" 1t had
long beeh her prayer that she should
be taken before her only daughter
She had often said, This would be a
dreary world to me without one
child" God saw and heard. She had
buried eight children, and lived to see
and hear the voice of the fourth gem
Grafton.
She was brought to her grand-daugh-
ter, Mrs. ID. M. Jones, on Thursday,
where a host of relatives and friends
gathered to pay the last tribute of re
spect and love.
She was a member of the Baptist
church in Aberdeen, which she loved
When she came to visit her old home
she would say, Let Brother Brown
know I'm here" so when the sad
news of her death came, Brother A.
/ j. Brown was one of the first to learn,
so as to be with her loved ones in the
/ sad hour.
| She had raised two sets of grand
children and was left a widow early
in life, to rear large family by her
self, but she was brave and trusted 10
/ the One who is a husband to the
widow She made a success in her
/ field. There are few who could do as
well. She was good mother, ever
ready to extend helping hand and
/ always cheerful. How sad is home
without her, and how the grand-chil-
dren will miss her. We can only say
we Will meet her some day, over or
the golden shore to part again, o
never more! She left bright foot
prints for all to follow. May God be-
with those who mourn her loss.

NELSON WINS AGAIN
Fast Pullman Splinter Beats All
Crack Northwest Runners in
Mud at Seattle


Ira Clark brings back a good story
from Seattle, where he spent last
week, seeing the exposition and at
tending the Knights of Ply thias grand
lodge. Mr.. Clark tells of Jack Mel
son, Of w. S. c., defeating all of the
crack runners at Seattle in a try-out
in the mud and rain, when he made
ten seconds fiat in the 100-yard dash
and made the Post-Intelligencer
which has been belittling Nelson S
claims, acknowledge that he is the
best Splinter in the northwest.
The Post-Intelligencer has denied
that Nelson can make the time with
which he has been accredited and
after he defeated all others in the
conference meet, making the 100-yard
on soft track in 10 seconds fiat,
the Fost-Intelligencer declared that
no luan had ever run 100 yards in
10 seconds in Seattle and intimated
that the timers were wrong. The
Post-Intelligencer has never given
Nelson credit for being as good a man
as he is and last week when Nelson
went out with Montgomery, Martin,
Gish and Malcomson for a try-out.
the "P.-I." sent it's sporting editor
out to see the run.
The weather was as bad as it could
be. Rain had fallen steadily and the
track was soft and muddy, and the
race was run in the rain. Five stop
watches We're held by five expert
timers, and every one caught Nelson
in ten seconds fiat. He led the en-
tire bunch by good lead. The next
mornings issue of the Post-Intelli-
gencer had an account of the race
and admitted that Nelson lis a Won
d, rful runner and made 100 yards
in the rain, running through mud
in ten seconds, fiat, the best time ever
made in Seattle"
Mr.. Clark says Nelson, COOL and
Putnam are all working in Seattle
and living at the athletic club, and
are in prime condition for the big
meet of the A. A. u, on August IA,
when they will run FOR the Seattle
Athletic Club and each one is ex-
pected to take several firsts. Nelson
is counted on for first in two and
possibly three events, the 100 220
and possibly the 440. COOL is count
ed on to win first in both the mile
and the two mile runs; and Putnam
lis counted a certain winner of the
broad jump, and one of the hurdle
events and to take place in the high
jump.

Maude Adams.

Charles Frohman has just completed
arrangements to present Miss Adams
in London in new Barrie play. 1t
is a strange fact that, although Mr..
cial interpreter and the greatest delin-
Gator of his women. London has never
seen her play. 1t is announced that
Miss Adams will open at the Duke of
York's theater early next autumn.
The play which Mr. Barrie is now
working on is said to be consPHcted
around a novel and extremely interest
ing Mot. but those in the secret of the
scenario have been pledged to give no
hint as to it's nature. Mr.. Barrie is
very much opposed to any discussion
of his work before he has completed
if After he has finished a play or q
novel he is apt to be it's severest critic
and to care little what is said or writ
ten about it. but until then it annoys
him intensely to have it talked about.
It is known, however, that he is
writing it with reference to Miss
Adams as the star. who will present
it first to the English public, although
Mr.. Barrie never writes plays tic
measure"
Besides presenting the new Barrie
play Miss Adams will appear in Ros-
tand's "L'Aiglon," which has never mad
London production. This does not
necessarily mean, however. that the
American public will have no Oppor-
tunity of seeing her next year. as Mr.
Frohman states that in all probability
Miss Adams will return the latter part
of the winter for a shore New York
Engagement at the Empire theater.
