6 SAO Iva
instant, the sad news that Cap.
tain J. r. Prince had just died al
his home in Shuqualak, Noxubee
County, Miss, came to us in Ma
con. While he had been in bad
health for over two years, his
death came as a shock to his many
friends, who could not help hop
ing that his strong will power
would pull him through this at
tack, as it had done so often be-
fore, but at last this proud spirit
had to yield to the One who COLI
quOrs us all, and go to meet his
brave comrades and loved ones
who had preceded him to the Bet
ter Land.
DR.. John Randolph Prince was
born July 2Sth, 1887, in Bolivar
County, Ala, lived there until he
was fifteen years Of age, when he
moved to Noxubee county, and
attended the school at Summer
vile, taught by his brother-in-
law, Hon. Thomas Cartwright, a
most excellent teacher and worthy
man. He attended Bethany Col
lege in Tennessee, and finished
his literary education at the Uni
versity of Virginia. Adopting
the profession of medicine, he at
tended the University of Pennsyl-
vania, and Bellevue medical
schools. At one of the schools he
attended he came under the in
huence of DR.. Alexander Camp
bell, the founder Of the Christian
Church, and he often told EN-
nat Anotgsn the practice of
Medicine in 1860, at Philadelphia,
Miss, and was there when the
var between the States broke out,
and at once assisted in raising a
company of infantry, known as
the NeshOba RIFLES. This compa-
ny became a part of the famous
18th Mississippi Regiment, and
served with this gallant regiment
throughout the war. He was
elected captain at the reorganiza-
ton and frequently commanded
the regiment. Was the ranking
officer after the battle of Gettys-
burg, and commanded the regi-
meat on the return from Pennsyl-
vania. He was in command of
his company, the strongest in the
regiment, and participated in the
famous charge made by Pickett's
division, and went as far as any
Confederate soldier on that fatal
day. After this battle I became
courier for A. p. Hill, then COM
handing the 3rd corps of the ar
my of Northern Virginia and as
Davis Brigade of Mississippi and
was in Heth's Division of this
corps, 1 became intimately &C
quainted with DR.. Prince, and
thus began a friendship that gain
ed and strengthened, until death
us did part. Many and many a
time | have had to carry orders to
this gallant brigade to move into
action, and as Prince at the head
of his gallant company passed me,
he would waive a salute, and go
as cheerily and gaily as if he were
to the banquet board. I
never knew a more gallant soldier,
and no captain in that magnifi-
cent army had the confidence and
respect of his superior officers
more than he. He was frequent
~ called on to execute orders that
required intelligence and courage
of the highest order. On one oc-
in 1865, when Lee and
were in the death grapple
at Petersburg, he was ordered to
three men and reconnoire, !
and try aud find out how far
had extended his left wing
IN his attempt to overlap Lee. |

Company, Williams Price and Ira
Russell and one other, he started

BIG SUCCESS
Time Limit Sale at the Leader
Store Accomplished
Its Object.

j. Lipsitz, one of the proprietons of
the Leader department store has gone
to eastern cities TO settle bills with the
manufacturers that have declared war
against the firm. The local firm was
compelled to sacrifice It's high grade
stock of goods within ten days and to
do so carried on one of the biggest
time limit sales held in the city. Dur
ing the sale the store was thronged
with eager buyers and It became nee
essary at times to close the doors and
stop selling goods in order TO reserve
enough stock to last the ten days. This
was done in order to fulali the prom
.se made by tn firm through it's adj
vertisements OF the sale.
The Arm appreciates the kind at
teution Of customers that attended the
sale and thanks them one and all for
their trade. The frm viii continue
doing business at the same stand as
heretofore with greater bargains and
