Mrs. Margaret Sanders Minga

On December IL, 1911, in the
hush of early morn before things
temporal were aroused from
their slumbers, the great reaper,
Death, bore the gentle spirit of
Mrs. Margaret Minga from its
dwelling place here to that beau.
tiful city prepared for those who
love the Lord.
Loved ones attended her and
watched with anxiety, but after
a / illness of a few weeks the
summons came and we had to
bow in submissiveness to Him
who doeth all things well.
She had just passed her 83rd
birthday. Was born in South
Carolina, then moving to Ala
bama, where she was married to
j. B. Minga, afterwards moving
to near Shannon, Miss.
She joined the Missionary
Baptist church in early life, ever
afterwards living as near as she
could to the cross. Her home.
was with B. L. Minga.
She is survived by ten chill
dren, all of whom were present
except L. ", and A. B. Minga,
both living in Texas. Also a
number of grand and great
grand children are left to mourn
their loss.
She bore her trials very pa
tiently, ever remembering all
things work together for good to
them that love the Lord. Her
Christian life was no fiowery
show, but her daily life was to
benefit her loved ones and lend
a helping hand to the needy,
and being a woman of few words
she seldom gave her opinion.
Her endurance of her pains
were Christ like, as she bore
them bravely to the end and re-
peatedly expressed a desire to go
to her heavenly home as she did
not want to be any trouble.
She was conscious to the last
and just before the end came
she said She was going to her
Saviour whom she had so long
been trying to serve. and with a
wave of her hand she bade all
goodbye. and quietly passed
away. The interment took place
at old New Chapel cemetery,
where she was laid to rest by
the side of her husband who pro
ceeded her to the grave a little
more than two years.
Owing to the inclemency OF
the weather but very few of her
friends were permitted to pay
their last tribute Of respect to
their much loved friend and
neigbor. L., /.

Success In Organization.

For quite long time it has
been very evident that if Tupelo
expects to get out of the village
class and do the things that is
expected of her, it will be abso-
lutely necessary that genuine
spirit of unity and determine
tion pervade our entire CONNER
cial being. On Friday night OF
last week the initial step was ia
ken that will no doubt bring
about the creation of a new In
dustrial and commercial organi-
zation that will get the desired
results and not only that, but
will be a permanent fixture and
a monument to the enterprise
and energy of the citizens OF
this community.
Despite the inclement weather
some twenty-five or more.ot the
leading business and profession
al men Of the city gathered at
the court house and for more
than hour discussed at length the
necessity and possibility of such
organization, enumerating and
stressing the essentials and re-
suits. The history of such or
ganizations which have existed
and now exist in other cities was
used to illustrate the crying
need for a like body in Tupelo.
w. F. Jordan was chosen
chairman of the meeting and K.
w. Reed served as secretary and
at the conclusion of the meeting
the following resolution was
unanimously adopted: Resolved
that it is the sense of this meet
ING that it is imperative that the
citizens of Tupelo form and
maintain a commercial and indus
trial body without further delay
and that the chairman of this
meeting appoint a committee OF
three citizens whose duty it shall
be to devise ways and means and
formulate plans for the creation
and maintenance of such organ
jzation and that this committee
report at the next meeting which
will be held at the court house,
Friday night, Jan. 5'h, 1917"
The following were named on
this committee: E. c. Hnds,
chairman, w. B. Troy and K. +.
Goodlett and these gentlemen
will have three weeks in which
to prepare their report which 1t
is hoped will contain just such
plans and recommendations as
will put on foot this commend
able proposition. Tupelo has
MANY industries and enterprises
at this time that need above all
things the foster care of such or
ganization and if she would re-
tain these they must have just
such nurturing as is expected
only at the hands of well regu-
lated commercial body.
