Death of Joel E. RiveS.

At his residence in Macon Tuesday
morning, March 1st, IMr. j. E. Rives
aged so years. Mr.. Rives was born in
Louisville, Miss, but moved with his
father to Macon in his early youth He
was educated in the Macon school and
at Spring Hill Academy at Mobile.
He studied law in the Office of his faith
er the late Robert Rives, Esq, and has
long been a prominent member of the
local bar. He was generally esteemed
as a hard student of his profession and
distinguished for his thorough knowl-
edge of the law. His fealty to his
clients cause was notable, and his
place at the bar will be hard to fill.
Nh. Rives was a Catholic in religion,
and in his last illness was attended by
his pastor, Father Yoerg.
In 1890 Mr.. Rives was united in mar
riage at West Point to Miss Claude
Baptist, who survived him, with two
children, John B. and Lucy Lee. The

Dead Woman" Revived.

Brookville, Ind, Feb. 26.-
Popular misconception of the
coroner's law nearly permitted
the body of Miss Olive Sanders
to be frozen in a snowbank to-
day. In a warm room and in
the presence of the undertaken
the dead woman came to life.
Miss Sanders sister missed
her from the house and found
her, seemingly dead, lying in
the snow in the larnyard.
Neighbors were called and stood
in a ring about the body consol-
ing the weeping sister and all
obsessed with the notion that
none should dare to touch the
dead until the arrival of the
coroner.
It took two hours to get the
coroner to the Sanders place,
He viewed" the body and it
was carried into the house and
the undertaken called to prepare
it for burial. At this stage
Miss Sanders revived.

1t Might Have Been.

Now that it is all over, it is
fair enough to say, that Varda-
man was i'll advised in making a
fight for the seat vacated by act
of providence. He was an avow-
ed and ~igenerally recognized
candidate for the Senate, and it
would have been polite and
magnanimous for him to have
said to aspirants: Gentlemen,
l am not availing myself of &C
cident or the whim of fate. This
is your opportunity-Step in and
wrestle for the prize. l will not
interfere with aid or hindrance.
This is an unexpected opportu-
nifty. | will abide the battle-roy-
al and take my chances in ac-
cordance with prearrranged
campaign" Such a course
would have been worth many
votes to the Ex-Governor in the
Senatorial primary. Aberdeen

The Best Story in the Bible,

Do you know what we think is
the best story in the Bible? 1t
may surprise you, but its about
Noah and the flood. You re-
member Noah had to work a
long time on the ark. It was up
hill business, too, at best, to go
on toiling and sweating day af-
ter day, in the hot sun, building
a boat away out on the dry land,
while the anvil hammer club of
knockers sat around splitting to-
bacco juice upon his lumber, and
whiting up his soft pine boards
with their jack knives; telling
him what a big fool he was to
expect a big rain in a country
that was too dry to grow alfalfa.
But he kept at it, finally the
food came, and every mothers
son of the knocking croakers
drowned. This is the only in
stance we know of, either in sa-
cred or profane history where a
bunch of knockers got exactly
what was coming to them. Tit
Bits.
The Bible relates a number of
instances, among them that of
the golden-standard apostates
who forced Aaron to make them
a golden calf to worship, in ac-
cord with the usage of other
followers of false gods. But as
to knockers, like the poor Eye
have them always with you"
This town like the rest, is cursed
with them. Meyer suggesting
anything good or progressive
themselves, they antagonize and
belittle the efforts of others.
People, and we have them here,
who are always ready with dis
couraging reCitals, if the first to
catch the ear of a prospectors
for location or investment. They
are generally the first to meet a
stranger for leisure and ubliquity
are their chief assets. Their in
fuence is effective for evil be-
cause generally exercised with
out malice and with a winning
air of sincerity, born of a dense
ignorance as to local conditions,
surroundings and possibilities

Senator Gordon,

On page two of this weeks BEACON
the farewell address of Col. Gordon OF
Mississippi to the Senate will be found
and will prove interesting reading
Col. Gordon's stay in the Senate was
brief but brilliant, interpreted with
poetry, songs, the belles-arts and the
cordial virtues. He struck a respon-
sive chord :in the Senatorial and the
public mind, and in sixty days, the
lifetime of an average promissory note,
he won the liking of !ninety-three sena-
tors and an incalculable number OF
plain American citizens. In the win
try atmosphere Of political Washing
ton he was as the first flower Of spring,
fragrant and full of color against the
dull brown earth. He carried with
him the atmosphere of the wide cotton
fields of Mississippi, with their hos
pitality and free-handed generosity,
and the people were charmed.
Col. Gordon was denied any opportu-
nifty to show his craftsmanship. 1t
can be said of him. however, as it was
said of a certain distinguished Virgin
ian: eve don't know whether he is a
statesman or not, but he is certrtainly
a damn good-fellow.".

The Senatorial Primary.

In the primary Senatorial con-
test for the full term, the assur-
ed candidates seem to be Percy,
Vardaman and Byrd, and it will
be the liveliest fight witnessed
in the State since the war.
There may be. and probably will
be, other contestants: Kyle,
Critz, and possibly Alexander
and Anderson may poise their
lances. AT all events a triangu.
lar fight is certain and a second
primary inevitable, Aberdeen

That the members of this bar learn
with great sorrow of the death of J.. E..

with the high standard of ethics de
manded by right and by the legal ira
ditions of the profession in the South.
That his fidelity to the cause of his
clients was a prominent characteristic
of Mr.. Rives, and those whom he rep
resented always had good cause to know

Courts of Law.
Resolved further that a copy of these

The following letter has been
handed us by Mr.. J. G.. Cavett,
for publication, and will explain
itself. 1t is to be hoped that
those who are interested will
write the congressman as re-
quesUed, as the prairie section of
the county has no greater curse
than crawfsh. Only a few days
ago a farmer from that section
told us Of having a tWenty-acre
plot on which he had a beautiful
stand of corn, and one morning
after a rain during the night,
there was not enough left to
make a stand on one acre.

[ have been confering with
Mr.. e. S. Gambler. Congressman
from the First District of Miss
issippi, in regard to the matter
of inducing the Department of
Agriculture, through the Bureau
of Entomology, to investigate
the matter of damage to crops by
crawfsh in the Prairie Section of
Mississippi and Alabama. My
home is at Aberdeen and | am
interested in that section, my
father being a Prairie farmer.
We are trying to get together
all of information we can in re-
gard to this pest. and if the
damage can be shown to be Of
sufficient Importance, we hope
to be able to get the e~ntomogists
sufficiently interested to investi-
gate the matter with a view to
finding a practical remedy.
If you can furnish any infor-
nation regarding the damage
done on your farm or in your
section, by the crawfish, please
write to Mr.. Gambler giving all
OF the facts you can. The in
formation so gained will be pre-
sented to the Department of
Agriculture as soon as a sufficient
number of such letters whill
have been secured.
Thanking you in advance, for
anything you can do in this con-
nection, | am,
Very truly your,
E. c.. EWING.
