Jackson, Miss,
Sunday Evening, Mch. Is.

JaCkSOn, MISS,
Sunday Evening, Mch. 13.
Editor of the Beacon:
I received a letter from my son this
morning telling me that my good old
colored friend, Henry Massengale, was
dead. 1t gave me real sorrow to hear
this for old Henry was true to his
white friends and was a link that bound
us to the past. He always felt like he
was one of the boys and really loved
all the young white boys that he wait
ed on. He never tired of talking of
"Marse" Walter Barker, and what a
friend "Marse" Walter was to him.
The last time he shaved me l told him
the ladies were going to erect a monu-
ment to Walter, and said II will give
SIS myself" Now that he is gone Twill
gladly give the ladies this SIS in Henry's
name.
He always spoke of Pa and Ma as
"Marse Dick" and ''Miss Nancy, and
if he ever heard of Ma being sick he
would get a bottle of whiskey and send
to "Miss Nancy, and when Pa was

up and shaving him and would not
hear to receiving pay.
When I told Walter Price about
Henry's death he vas visibly affected,
and said if he had known of it in time
he would have gone to his funeral
Nick Augustus has always said that if
he were living when Henry died he
would preach his funeral, and I hope he
did.
I was Henry's proud boast that he
wore the red shirt in rs with all of
his ''boys", I wrote the above simply
to show why we all loved old loyal
Henry.
Walter Price and l went to the
Methodist church this morning and the
choir sang that dear old song, "How
Firm a Foundation Ye Saints of the
Lord" and this song and the news of
HenrY's death has awakened a train of
memories of the long ago and as they
sang 81 Saw Not the Singers to me
came the dear. dead faces that rode SC
blithely with me from 81 to '65 and in
the troublous times of rs, and I pray
ed God that he would throw the mantle
of charity over the frailties and sins
of this poor negro, and that he, too,
might find rest under the shade of the
trees with the brave young white
friends that he loved and served sc
well. Yours,
BIG BUD.

Big Bud says we. are mad with him
not because he voted against the Ex-

logical and as just for us to say that he
wants NOkubee's representation to be

legislator from this county, he being
the only Vardaman man and of course
sure of election.
Big Bud is alright. His heart is as
big as a ham, and full of sympathy for

thy he manifests materially. He is
patriotic, too, and loves his State and
county, and his people, But he is do

Macon Bar Meeting.

At a meeting of the Macon, Mississ-
ippi Bar, held Wednesday, March 18th.
1910, the following resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
Whereas by the redistricting bill just
passed by the Legislature an appoint
ment of a Circuit Judge for this cir
cult district will be made.
Be it resolved, That in the opinion of
the members of this Macon Bar the
honorable A. T. Dent is eminently quail
flied in every respect for the position
of Circuit Juage and his appointment
to the judgeship for this district would
be a most wise and excellent one.
That his thorough and extensive
knowledge of the law, his mature
judgment and thirty years experience
in active practice and his judicious un-
derstanding of the reason of the law
which is the life thereof, together
with his fairness and impartiality of
temper, combined to fit him peculiarly
for the bench, while his character as a
man would lend to his public position
all the moral force and support that
comes from a honorable and blameless
life. In academic education and cul-
ture, in learning, training and ability
and in public and private character,
we conscientiously believe Mr.. Dent to
be most eminently qualified for the
judgeship.
That Mr., Dents public services as
mayor of Macon, Senator from the
sixteenth district and Trustee Of the
A. & M. College in ali of which capaci-
ties he did faithful. conscientious and
able services, in our opinion entities
him to higher honors and wider oppor-
tunities to further serve the state.
We, therefore, commend Mr.. Dent
to his excellency Gov. E. F. Noel anc
state that his appointment to the bench
would reflect credit or the appointing
power and make for the honor and dig.
nifty of the state and its service

ADJUSTMENTS.

The attraction billed to appear at
the Grand all this week, beginning to-
night is one of the nnest of the kind
that has ever visited this city if the
reports of the newspapers from near
by towns are to be believed.
The Reno Stock company numbers
eighteen people all told, and they have
earned the reputation of giving a
show of kind seldom delivered by
popular price companies.
Firstly a list of new plays-new at
least to patrons of popular attractions
and secondly the finest vaudeville
bill rendered between acts of any re-
pertoire company that has ever played
the local play house. When one con-
siders the prices charged it seems a
lack OF discretion to stay away from
an attraction that gives SO much en-
tertainment for so little money. There
are no waits and this alone is worthy
of consideration.
