DEATH OF MR.. N. D. Mc0ILL.

DEAl0 UT NiNs N. u NS0Ah-A-s
Our community was shocked on
Sunday evening to learn OF the
death of Mr.. Nathaniel ID. McGill,
which occurred at 2:30 O'Clock at
his home on Locust Land" plan
tation, on Lake Bruin. Mr.. McGill
had been i'll but short time with
complication of stomach and kid
ney troubles, and though he re-
ceived the closest medical attention
from his brother-in-la DR.. L. A.
Murdoch, and tenderest nursing
from his venerable mother and three
sisters, all of whom were with him
in his illness, the ravages of disease
could not be stayed and the end
came at the hour mentioned.
Mr.. McGill was born to Mr.. and
Mrs. James NJ. McGill at Sunny
side" plantation, the old McGill
home, in this parish, on November
10th, 1864. His education was
received at Howard College, at
Marion, Alabama. His entire life
was spent in Tensas parish and he
was ever closely identified with
every thing that has made for the
up-building and material advance
ment of the parish.
A number of years ago Mr.. Nc
Gill acquired the Locust Land
plantation, one of the lorgest and
finest places in the parish, where
he made a comfortable home for his
parents and sisters, and to whom
he was ever a devoted and thought
lful son and brother.
| Mr.. McGill was a good and USE
lful citizen. To his friends, and he
had many, he was true as steel. Oh
polished manner and affable adj
dress he was always a most welcome
lguest in every home. The sympa-
THY of host of friends is extended
to the aged and grief-stricken moth
er and to other members of his
family. He leaves to mourn his
loss his aged mother and three sis.
tiers, Mrs. L. A. Murdoch and Mis-:
lOllie McGill of st. Joseph and Mrs
Med. Watkins of Natchez.
| The body was taken to Port Glib
son, Miss. for interment on Mon.
day, where rest the remains of hi:
father and brother and other mem.
bers of the Davenport family. Flu
neral services were conducted at the
residence on Locust Landh or
Monday morning by the Rev. Mr.
Fontaine of Waterproof. The body
was accompanied to Port Gibson by
Mrs. Med. Watkins and Miss Mary
Bell Murdoch, sister and niece re
spectively of the deceased, and sew.
eral very close friends.
Upon arrival at Port Gibson tn,
funeral proceeded directly to thu
cemetery followed by a large con
course of friends and relatives
many of the older people of tina
city, lifelong friends of his parents
being present.
; The family desire lis to extenC
sincere thanks tie all friends wht
: so kindly assisted and comforteC
them in their hour of affection
They will long be remembered il
deepest gratitude.

Sunday Mornings Fire.

About $3.50 O'Clock Sunday morn
ing the alarm of fire was sounded,
but due to the unfortunate hour
only a small proportion of the pop
ulation heard and responded. The
flames were found to have originat-
ed in an clubhouse in the rear of
the Solomon building and for awhile
that handsome structure was seri-
ously endangered. 1t was only
through the most heroic measures
that it was saved and the fact that
the flames were finally controlled
and subdued::.seem almost incred-
ible and only shows what can be
accomplished by a handful of cool
and determined men. The fire
spread rapidly to neighboring struct-
ures Elm the yard and made almost
a clean sweep of every out building
including the;;ibake oven of Mr..
Julius Morris, stable of J. r.
Smitha, in whichsswas confined two
horses, both burned to death, the
living apartments of Salvador
Baragona's store, including all OF
his furniture and household goods
and several bales of goods belong
ing to his stock, and one or two
out-houses Of George Woods. The
stable building of Mrs. Paul was
burned and two or three of hel
tenement houses caught but were
saved. Her loss may be approx
mately estimated at 800, Georg'
Woods $500, Baragona, the heav
lest loser, perhaps $1,000, or more
Julius Morris, several hundred dol
lars and John r. Smitha practically
o as much. Mr.. Solomon's loss vii
not only include the several out
buildings destroyed but considerable
damage to his store building, which
was more or less burned on the rea
and which would certainly hav'
been destroyed but for the yer,
energetic efforts Of those who wer'
80 fortunately aroused in time.
This fire and the very narrow es
cape Of the entire business section
of town should impress upon on
municipal authorities the abjec
need of the extension of the fir
district ever that thickly settled sec
ton. 1t also emphasizes the Nee
of fire alarms at different points il
town. The one small fire bell 10
Gated up town is clearly inadequat
to the needs and at least two NOR
bells should be set up at as man,
different points. The crowded quar-
ters in that lot of tenement house
just above the bank and the Ker
shaw building will serve as a fir
: trap and constant menance to tn
entire business section of town an,
stringent efforts should be takel
toward the elimination of the yer,
serious danger that is CONSTANT,
threatened in that crowded neigh
borhood.

The Fourth Assistant Post Master
General has issued the following
letter of instruction to Post Masters
supplying rural routes with request
hat local papers publish for general
information:
In view of the extent to which
the practice of placing loose coins
in boxes 10y rural patrons has grown,
and the delay in the delivery and
collection of mail and the hardship
imposed on rural carriers incident
thereto, you are informed that, COM
mencing February 10, rural letter
carriers will not be required to col
lect loose coins from rural mail
boxes.
Patrons should enclose coins in
an envelope, wrap them securely
in a piece of paper, or deposit them
in a coin holding receptacle, so they
can be easily and quickly taken
from boxes, and carriers will I've re-
uuired to lift such coins, and, where
by mail for dispatch,
attach the requisite stamps.
This should be promptly an
to the rural patrons
through whatever means you may
employ, without expense to the
Department, and you are at liberty
to give the information embodied
herein to your local papers for pub
lication, if they 80 desire.

Norris Gains Nothing by
Attack On Speaker.
Rules Opheaval viii Bring Him
No Important Recognition.
Few Democrats Show Particular
Legislative Ability.

w aSnlhgtOn, ID. G., March 81
(SpeciaD with the recent upheayal
in the House of Representatives, by
which q new and elective rules COM
mlttee was set up. it was expected that
some new men would be forging to the
front. Representative G. w Norris,
OF Nebraska, the insurgent who intro
duCed the successful resolution for the
change, has attained considerable
notoriety thereby and become a more
prominent man, at least, in the Ma
tional House. He has been an insur-
years and was in fact one Of the in
surgent pioneers in Congress.
t:ut it is unlikely that he will re-
ceive ANY important recognition or find
much opportunity for advancement in
the House. 1t may be question
whether he wins a election, for he
survived as candidate in the fifth
Ne braska district at Inc last election
only by the narrow plurality of %
votes. If the next House is Kepubli-
can it is doubtful whether the Regu-
lars will be disposed to advance him,
as member VINO led d successful re-
volt against the party, and if the
House he Democratic, his chance will
be equally slim. His political future
in the House, if he is reelected, will
largely be as ii debater and organizer.
1t may be worth noting that Mr.. Nor
riS. now the most mentioned member
Of the House next to the Speaker, is
an ohioan 10y birth, taught school in
his younger days in Indiana and had
two terms as a district judge in Ne
braska before he came to Congress
seven years ago.
\ Republican from the West who
took but a small part in the big agi-
tation and has nevertheless gained
consid cradle prestige because of it, is
Representative Walter l. Smith, of
Council Bluffs, Iowa. 1t was he who
gained a reelection to the House
Committee or Rules by the highest
vote and he is now being recognized
more than ever as one of the fOrceful
members on the Republican side. He
has served many years on the Appro-
priatiOns Committee with RepreSen-
tative Tawney, of Minnesota. the
chairman, and has been metioned for
speakership honors. Judge Smith, be-
SUES DelIlS di entertaining Idcoileui
is known as a Republican of great
ability and Of impartial attitude. He
has always been regular, even though
Iowa has been rampant as an Insur-
gent state, but he sympathizes to
some extent with the Insurgent cause
and has been the leader of recent
movement for a sort of middle of-the-
road contingent in the House, That
means support of the Regulars as the
great majority party but concessions
in a few important particulars to the
aggressive, fighting minority of Re
publicans who want some modifica-
tons in the methods of doing business
in the House of Representatives
