w. |. Swain Show Here During

The Jackson (Miss) Clarion Ledger
of April 6, has the following to say
about the Swain Show:
The big rain proof tent Of the w. I.
Swain Show Co., located on the Capitol
Fair grounds, was the center of attrac-
ton last night, despite the fact that the
weather man offered up a whole lot OF
threatening weather and finally good
heavy rain fell.
The w. J. Swain Show made its initial
bow to a Jackson audience last night,
and regardless of the weather, about 800
persons were royalty entertained for two
hours and a half.
The w. |. Swain Show Co. demon
strated that they are an excellent, strong,
dramatic and vaudeville, as well as a
musical, organizations The audience
seemed to understand that they would
have a good show presented to them
and showed their appreciation by liber-
al applause at every opportunity until
at the end Of the act big outburst of
enthusiasm was demonstrated, so much
so that the curtain was raised and low
cred several times.
While this is the first appearance of
the w l. Swain Co. in Jackson, they
are undoubtedly strong dramatic or
ganzation, and as they have an entirely
new method of presenting their bushes
it is safe to predict that the big tent will
be crowded to its utmost capacity for
the remainder of the week They are
really presenting a big city high-priced
show at very reasonable prices of admis-
sion. The solo band and orchestra is
fine musical organization, and the free
concert in front of the tent each night,
beginning at 7;10, should be thoroughly
appreciated.
All in all, the w. l. Swain Show was
a big hit last night and the best of its
kind ever seen in Jackson
The popular Swain Show will begin a
week IS engagement in Union City Mon
day, Sept. -.

Beulah Church.

In the year of 1886, Robert Corum
John White, Gabriel Henderson, Gage
Hale and Benjamin Evans and Others
met an dagreed to establish church al
the present site and gave it the name Of
Beulah. 1t was log structure SO feet
long by "a feet wide, had broad stick
. and clay chimney six or eight feet wide
and was used at that day and time for
schoolhouse and by the different re-
ligious denominations for worship. The
Baptists, Methodists and Episcopals had
organizations.
The first grave was that Of Col,
Charles Dibrell, the great grandfather
of the Clerk and Master of the Chancery
Court Of Obion County, Geo. A. Gibbs
On the 10th day of July, 1910, Col
Dibrell died, and on the 10th the writer
suberintended the digging of the grave
rwhere the body was laid to rest, ven
cradle revolutionary soldier, "a years
old at his death A coincidence worthy
OF notice occurred while Col. Dibrell So
journed with his father-in-law, Gen.
Gibbs. An old soldier of the Revolu-
tionary War by the name of Bryant
met Gen. Gibbs and after becoming ac-
quainted found they both were in the
same company and both had fought in
the battle of Eutaw Springs in the State
of South Carolina. They requested that
they be buried by the side of each 9th
err, 50 they were both buried at Beulah
Church by their request,
There are many things that might be
mentioned concerning Beulah Church
that would be interesting to the younger
set, but the article would be long, and
it is sufficient to say that the old log
structure has long since been demol-
ished and a nice frame building now oc-
cupies the place of the old building and
the country is so improved that the old
er set would not recognize it as the same
church established in the year 1886.

In Memory of Stella Lavender.

1t has often been said that Death
loves shining mark, " and truly did a
bright star fall when the grim reaper
called Stella Lavender from her home
one mile west Of Elbridge Thursday
evening, August 25.
Stella lacked only few months be-
ing fourteen years of age. She had
been sick for about two weeks with con-
gestion in most malignant form. All
that loving hands and money could do
for her was done, but all in vain. She
was not conscious when the end came,
but short time before she expressed a
desire that she was willing to go if it was
the Lords WILL and what is the greatest
consolation to her friends and speaks
loudest to the world is the fact that her
life fully conformed to her last state
ment
She was tenderly buried in the Min
nick cemetery late Friday afternoon.
The funeral services were conducted by
her pastor, w. II. Collins, in the pres
ence of very large concourse Of people.
Many and beautiful were the floral tri-
butes from the host of her sorrowing
friends.
Few children were more generally
loved or commanded higher respect
of the people than she did The
few years allotted her were we'll
filled with kind and noble deeds. For
one year she had been a consistent and
unusually valuable member Of the NJ
f. Church, South, taking great interest
in all the services and was especially
prominent in Sunday-school work.
She gave great promise of making no.
BILE and useful woman, and her death
was a great loss not only to her family
and relatives but to her church and
community Her place will be hard to
fill and yet we pray that the Lord will
raise up some one to carry on her work.
She leaves a mother, three sisters,
Ruth, Edna and Ethel heart broken at
the great loss they have sustained, but
they find consolation and help in trust
ing Him who "doeth all things we'll "
How applicable are the lines of Whit
tier in hours like these;-
Love will dream and faith will trust
Since He who knows need is just
That somewhere, somewhere meet we must
Alas, for him who never sees
The stars shine through his cypress trees.
Who hopeless lays his dead away.
Nor looks to see the breaking day
Across the mournful marbles play.
Who hath not learned in hours of faith
The truth TO flesh and sense unknown, r.s
That life is ever Lord of Death. -
And Love can never lose its owl

PAwNEE RICHARDSON SENATORS

The county option democrats of
Richardson county are objecting very
strenuously to the candidacy of John
II. Morehead for the state senate.
One voter writes from Falls City:
THE county option folks don't want
Morehead. He is Objectionable on
other matters besides county option.
l hope Hall of Pawnee, the other dem.
ocratic candidate, is all right-or at
least, better. DR.. Johnson, republican
of Pawnee. is all right of course, and
will be nominated. as he has no oppo-
sition. But the Pawnee temperance
men ought to help us beat Morehead, -
All of which is referred to the good
temperance people of Pawnee, where
the democrats are just as dry as the
republicans.
