five years, completed it's labors
and adjourned Saturday night.

of prominent teachers from the

lish grammar that the Commits
sion discarded the present series
and put in an entirely new arith-
metic and grammar. The people
generally and the teachers es-
pecially will heartily approve
these changes.
The geography should have
been changed, but owing to the
great expense in making the
change there was but little effort
to prevent the re-adoption of the

Mrs. Julia Clifton Blair

On SUNDAY morning the an
nouncement of the serious illness
of Mrs. Blair was the source O
general solicitude and through
out the day reports from he
bedside were awaited with grav,
apprehension. These report
were not encouraging and toware
evening it was learned that the
attending physicians had lost all
hope of her recovery and at eight
o'clock the final summons came
Mrs. Blair was taken sick Wed
nesday night. but. declined t.
have a physician called. feeling
that she would improve. Satur.
day morning she was taken sud
denly i'll and DR.. Elkin was sum
moned. DR.. Elkin decided i'm.
mediately that the cause of the
trouble was from an attack of
appendicitis and summoning the
other physicians Of the city a
consultation was held. This con
sultation resulted in an agree
ment that the trouble was ap.
pendicitis in its most acute form.
DR.. Smythe, a specialist of Mem
phis was telegraphed for and he
reached the city Sunday night
after Mrs. Blair's death.
Mrs. Blair was the daughter
of the late w. D. and Julia F.
Clifton and was born at Full
ton on May 31st. 1856. She was
the widow Of the late Col. John
A. Blair and a sister Of w. H.
Clifton Esq, of Aberdeen and
C. H. Clifton of Tupelo.
While quite young, her mother
became an invalid and it devolv-
ed upon her daughter. then Miss
Julia Clifton, to nurse her and
how we'll she performed these
filial duties is recalled by those
who were associated with her.
AS the second wife Of the late
Col. Blair. she was entrusted
with the care Of several small
children and in this delicate po-
sition she so performed her
duties as to fill the position as a
real mother would.
For several years previous to
his death her husbrnd was prac-
tically an invalid and her patient
n rising alleviated his sufferings
and her devoted attention follow
el him at all times until his life
closed.
Mrs. Blair while quite young.
became a member Of the Metho-
dist church and led throughout a
consecrated christian life. 1t
was the source Of much pleasure
to enter actively into the duties
of church member and her ex-
ample was at all times worthy OF
emulation. She was a woman of
superior intellectual attainments
and culture and her home was
the seat of refinement.
AS a mother she displayed that
affectionate regard which charac-
terizes the unselfish and noble.
She was a loyal friend, kind
neighbor and in her passing
away Tupelo has lost one of its
most beloved women and the
family bereft Of it's central fig
ure.
The funeral services were con-
Quoted from the home at five
o'clock Monday evening by Rev.
w. l.. Duren. Many friends
gathered around her bier while
her pastor paid a high tribute to
her memory.
The many floral offerings were
beautiful and expressed the love
of those who had assembled as
their last tribute to their depart
ed friend and loved one.
To the bereaved, the sympathy
of all goes out in their great sor-
row.
