Borrowing Trouble.

OF all the absurdlties extant, sure
ly to borrow trouble" is the great
est. The trouble borrowers have nc
enjoyment; it seems as though the
the word was omitted from their vo
cabulary, their life being one cease
less moan, constant looking fer
ward to that impending doom which
is to overtake them.
If a wind suddenly springs up a
cyclone may be expected-all indica-
tions of the weather prophet not
withstanding -or does the sky be-
come overcast, thunderstorm is at
hand.
Then there are various domestic
forbodings, from mild to severe
foru-probably case of measles in
the next square, another case of
whooping-coug in the bext street.
There is large class of people in
constant trouble and anxiety about
their health. although the same a.
mount OF strength in q cheerful per-
son would be taken as an indication
of heal thfulness.
But these trouble borrowers are
always expecting disorders of every
kind--and if they do not actually
come, they are sick all the same-of
disappointment.
Thousands of people are dying ev-
cry year of this constant suspicion
their health, while others settle down
into gloomy state from forebodings
of trouble to come. They do not
why it is they are always expecting
something to happen. A bird flies

Want It flushed mighty Bad.

POntotoe Sentinel.
1t is the earnest endeavor of the
Vardaman haters to silence further
comment on the secret caucus. The
more that dark political trick is dis
cussed, the more it becomes appa-
rent that the people were robbed of
their choice of a United States Sena-
tor, and the more Ubiquitous such
chicanery appears to the honest
voters of the state.
Nothing would be more satisfactory
to these meh, than that the cloak, of
oblivion be thrown over those pro-
ceedings, and that the people sub
NIT themselves to the repetition OF
similar impositions in the future.

AS the campaign year wears on
we notice the question Of whether
the County Attorney Law should be
rescinded or not by the next Legisla-
ture continues to obtrude itself up
On the mind of Mississippians. A
careful examination of our exchanges
coming in from all parts of the sta te
reveal the fact that in some counties
especially those having large negro
populations, the County Attorney
is proving a welcome and useful
spoke in the wheel of county govern
ment, while in others the people
don't seem to want it as the percent
age of crime is so small that the ex.
pense does not seem to justify the
office.

sometimes IN our weakness we may
fail to understand God S will. How
ever we must not linger here too
long, we must look beyond this world
of sorrow or parting, and see our
loved ones with the countless millions
who have gone on before and have
washed their robes and made them
white in the blood of the lamb. Sc
weep not dear ones as those that
have no hope. for Gods will must be
done and not ours, and we know that
this dear little one is safe in the

MRS. KATIE FOUNTAIN WILLIAMS.
On Monday March 18th, 1911 be.
tween the hours of 9 and 10 o'clock
the death angel visited the home ol
W. j. Williams Jr. and took from
him his beloved wife. Her age was
81 years 4 months and Is days.
She leaves to mourn her death q
heart broken husband, ten children,
mother, relatives and a host oil
friends, but we know that their loss
is Heavens gain. She was a tender
and loving wife and r,other.
Mrs. Williams had been in feeble
health for several months. Although
she suffered much she bore 1t with
much fortitude and was the same
sweet christian woman she was be-
fore. She was perfectly willing to
suffer if it was the Lords will that
she should.
The writer had the opportunity of
knowing something about the life
Mrs. Williams lived, as she was in
that home as aboarder several months
and taught the neighborhood public
school and never saw a more perfect
christian, In fact she seemed more
like mother to me than a friend.
She was converted when hut girl
and joined the Baptist Church of
which she lived a devoted christian
life until death. All was done that
loving hands could do 70 alleviate her
suffering. but the Lord said 1T is
enough; come up higher"
She was indeed true and humble
child OF God and while her heart
broker husband is left with ten moth
erless children to mourn over the loss
of his loved one that has gone on be-
fore, am glad to say that he weeps
not as those who have no hope, for
he knows today that his wife is with
the redeemed, though in this life he
will never have the privilege of again
being with her; that she can never
come to him again; that she can no
longer share with him his joys or his
sorrows that time might bring to
him. Yet it is a SWEEP consolation
to know that he can go to her, that
he can meet her again in that beauti-
ful home beyond the skies where no
tears are shed and no goodbyes are
spoken. 4s IT, ,,ae.
After the funeral services she was
laid to rest at home where her hus-
band will be by her side. a
She is sleeping. sweetly sleeping,
Ina pew made grave today;
We are weeping sadly weeping.
For the dear one gone away.
Call not back the dear departed.
Anchored safe where storms are er.
On the Dorderland we left her,
Soon to meet to part no more.
One who loved her,
MINNIE RUSSELL.

tremendous ovations which Senator

A Beautiful Life.

A beautiful life IS an honest lie.
A life of truthfulness, Of nobility of
the soul and life of devotion to our
loved ones here and to the God who
created us. Life indeed, is but a
river running with rapidity, onward,
onward, ever on. 1t runs, alas! too
swiftly. We have not one moment
in which to hesitate or spend in idle
ness. We should place guard on
our everyday actions, as we travel
along life's journey, Just one unkind
word can never be recalled; how
much better had it never been spo-
ken. Kind words! How little they
cost, and yet how dear! Soft words
soften the soul. Words harsh and
angry kindle the fire of wrath and
vengeance. Cold words chill while
hot ones create fire and discord.
There are vain words, idle words,
silly words, spiteful words and q
multitude of others to guard against
By trying daily to initiate Him who
had not where to lay his head only
can we live beautiful life
