A Sincere Tribute to Friends.


AS did not participate III the
memorial services at the Baptist
church Sunday. October so, ! desire
TO make q few remarks through
The Leader. about the deceased
members mentioned at that meet
ing.
First. ! wish to say they were ali
my friends.
Houston Warnock was young
man and lived a Christian life. /
visited him several times and found
him hopeful Of his future life.
Ernest Parsons, on the Saturday
before he was taken sick, on
Monday, came to my home to see
me, and / made this remark,
Ernest, you are sick, you must
take care Of yourself or you are
going to die" He said: Uncle
Bill, | am ready to 60 any old time
the Lord calls for me.
Young men, pattern after these
two characters whom God has seen
titlto call from our midst.
And Mrs. Lanier, God bless her
soul. ! have met her many times on
the street and she would say to me
What good man you are trying
to make. Long will the sweet,
CHEEKY face be missed in its accus-
toned place in Gods house.
After many months Of patient
suffering, our brother, Joe Sahser,
passed to the Great Beyond. You
may have neighbor for years and
think that you know him: but in
truth you don't, until you have had
business with him. and then you
will soon find out whether he is
true blue or not. have had bust.
ness from one dollar to one thous-
and dollars with this honest man
and found him to be the true blue.
There was never man truer to his
family and friends. He never for.
got kindness.
His truly noble character was
incapable Of a little or unworthy
act, and ne was always considerate
and charitable in his judgment Of
others.
The Hon. w. F. Parsons name
was also mentioned. Brethren,
am proud to say that Mr.. Parsons
was pillar and a power wherever
he stood. and greatly loved by all
who knew him.
The last to be taken from our
midst was "a man among men.
Living, | praised him; and from
the bosom Of his grave there
spring naught but regrets and ten
der recollections. AS has been
said, one of the pillars Of the
church, town county and State has
been removed. and / don't feel it
can ever be replaced.
He was a brave, brave man and
true to what he thought was right.
heard man say some few days
ago that Bro. Hobbs had written
him up several times. and that he
had condemned him for it: but that
he would confess now that every
word ne wrote was true and more
too. Bro. Hobbs will ever live lib
the hearts of his friends because oil
the many excellencies of his manly
character.

Prof. Hutchinson will. personally.
direct these meetings. the main
theme being the growing of those
crops that will successfully take the
place of cotton. as grown before
the invasion of the boil weevil.
Samples of seed of forage crops,
miniature silo, ensilage. stover,
oil. peanuts, peanut oil. both crude
and refined. peanut cake and meal
and samples Of food prepared from
cotton seed meal and vegetable oil,
instruction will also be given in

animals. rotation of crops. etc.

in the success of the farmer.

be interested in this important
matter.

Jackson Extends her CITY Limits.

The City Council Of the Capital
extended the city limits Of jackson.
The additional territory taken III
covers the Insane Asylum, q part
Of MiIlsaps College addition, thence
across to Bailey Avenue. just south
of IdlewiId Park across to Living
ston Park as far out on West Capt.
tol street as w. S. Hosford's S resi-
dence, thence south to DuttovilIe.
As originally provided the extern
sion contemplated the adding Of
the two orphan asylums. the Mary
Holmes College property and Bull
lard's brickyard, but by the
late action these properties are
left on the outside. giving the city
q very irregular line, but doing
away with all opposition to the ex-
tension of the limits.

WHAT IS a Wax YAARK7
There are Creatures With This Circus
Americans Never Saw Before.

What is Wax yaark? The
chances are there is not man in
America who has ever seen one.
And what is an emu? How does
an elephant smell? What ami
mails hair makes the finest Oriental
lace? What animal exudes blood
from its pores? What animal car
ries its young in a pouch? Why
does giraffe have such a long
Ieck? What is a zebroid?
The youngest schoolboy who Wis
its the menagerie Of the great
Adam Forepaugh and Sells Bros.
circus in Brookhaven on Thursday,
Nov. II will be able to answer
these questions and MANY more.
In fact ne will learn more natural
history in the hour he spends
among the animals than he could
gather from all the text books that
are printed.
The management of this circus
has this season introduced an en-
tirely new method of displaying
animals. It has engaged a half
dozen well-informed lecturers to
pilot visitors through the geological
department, explaining many
strange facts concerning the hum
dreds of exhibits and giving prac-
tical demonstrations of odd things
that govern wild animal life. This
is the first time that any circus has
ever given any special attention to
visitors during the hour usually de-
voted to the menagerie. Strangers
are very often afraid to ask ques-
tions in circus menagerie for fear
of discourteous replies. With this
show all is different. Patrons
leave the grounds, after the various
exhibitions are over. vastly more
satisfied and much benefited in an
educational way.
There are 780 animals in the
menagerie. The majority of them
are specimens that until this season
we're never seen in America. With
out doubt 80 per cent of the clrcus-
goers, even in our largest cities,
have not SO much as heard their
names. This circus considers its
menagerie not merely side attrac-
tion. but a very important part Of
the Institution. which shoul4 con-
stantiy be kept up to date by the
addition, just as soon as it is dis
covered. of every creature new to
animal life. It is the only show
that has its own animal hunters.
These fearless men are constantly
searching the jungIes and the wild
spots of the earth for novelties
which they invariably secure years
before they reach the various
European wild animal markets.
This circus does not depend for
its menagerie material on the small
animal dealers. They have for sale
only the ordinary things that can
be found in any large city's zoolog-
ical garden. and which have been
hauled around the country by small
shows until they have become as
familiar to circus-goers as goat
or raccoon.

YOU HEAR ALL KINDS OF
I LAUGHS AT 1.-THE BLUE MOUSE

4 A large audience at the Auditor
ium theater. last night witnessed
the first performance of the "Blue
Mouse" and the show licked them
immensely. 1t is indeed the most
farcical of farces, and the laugh Is
continuous throughout, punctuated
only by the intermissions between
the acts. The play continually ap-
proaches the risque, is sometimes
on the fence, SO to speak, but the
rapidly with which the situations
follow one another and the careful
acting of Miss Merritt save II from
being offensive even to the delicate.
Last nights performance formed a
rare opportunity for studying hui
man nature. All type Of people were
there and all were laughing. some
quietly, some almost Historically.
but all laughing. The plot, If 1t may
