MORTIMER ANSWERS
HIS OPPONENT.
Would Rest His Cause With the People
rs Whole, Rather Than With
a Selected Few.

Schlater played host TO number
OF candidates and about thousand
private individuals last Saturday
the occasion being a big barbecue
and picnic, and those from Itta Be-
ma who were present are profuse in
their praises of the hospitality ex-
tended the visitors.
One of the novel incidents in con-
nection with the meeting was cam
paign speech made while the train
was enroute from Schlater to Itta
Bena by Hon. T. E. Mortimer, OF
Belzoni. On account of rain Hon.
Frank Z. Everett, Of 1ndlanola, was
the only one of the candidates for
district attorney present who got a
chance to make talk.
In the course of his remarks Mr..
Everett made the statement that he
was willing to leave the selection OF
district attorney to the members of
the bar, or to selected set of law
yers Of the district AS the train
pulled out of Schlater Mr.. Morti-
mer's friends insisted that he make
talk, which he finally consented
to do.
In answering his opponent Mr..
Mortimer said he believed that as
many, or more, attorneys of the dis.
trict were supporting him than
were supporting Mr.. Everett, but
that even though every attorney
should support him, he considered
it more democratic and safer to
leave the selection of the
occupant of the Office to the voters
than to selected few. He did not
believe there were any lawyers in
the district clamoring for the ex-
elusive right, privilege or respon-
sibiiity of selecting the next DIS,
trict attorney, and he believed il
snch task were imposed upon
them they would do the democratic
thing by referring the obligation
back to the voter, where, he said
it rightfully belongs-Excerpt

A NOBLE MAN
ANSWERS SUMMONS.
Or. Vim. Irvine Died Last Friday AZ
ter short lllness.

The entire community was shocked
when the sad news of the death of DR..
VIM. Irvine was spread over the city,
and sad faced sorrow sat on every
countenance to whom this noble man
was known.
DR.. Irvine had been i'll for only few
weeks, and it was not deemed serious
until further complications set in, aud
he finally gave his soul to the reward
that awaited him, dying about three
o'clock Friday afternoon last.
Few divines enjoyed such respect as
DR.. Irvine, and when he first came
down from his old home in Kentucky to
visit his children who had settled with
us, he delighted an Interested congre-
cation at the First Presbyterian
Church. So captivated were they by
this genial, happy, loving, whole-souled,
free-hearted divine that after much
solicitation Dr. Irvine finally accepted
the pastorate of that church in Green
wood, leaving pulpit in one Of Bowling
Green's most prominent churches be-
cause he thought his services would be
best spent here, and he could be with
his children.
The life of this man was lived in the
sunlight. His career was an open
book, and his frankness his most en-
gaging characteristic. A stranger to
hypocrisy and deceit, he compelled the
love and respect ss his fellowbeings.
Brave as the bravest, imbued always
with the deep and unalterable courage
of his conviction, he was at the same
moment as tender and sympathetic as a
woman, and none knew him but to love
him. No pen can with prope er eloquence
depict the sincereity of his great soul
and the absolute integrity of his
righteous purposes.
Men may cope and men may go in the
pulpit Of this church, but it will never
be occupio by man of more potent
| influence, Of stronger traits OF charac-
| ter, Or who will command more univer-
al love AMI esteem. than DR., Irvine.
] His utterancs always carried with
| them irresistible force and the weigh
of deep conviction. His style was
simple, rugged and powerful. God
gives absolute soundness and justness
of mind to but few, aud with .his maa
He was prodigious in His gifts. His
mental resources were we'll nigh mex
haustible, and he was a tireless worker
the more he was Obliged to do the
more he felt able to accomplish is dis
regard OF bodily fatigue, and his
vigorous and active mind actually con-
sumed the physical body.
His remains were inferred at the
Odd Fellows Cemetery, and longer
concourse of friends and admirers never
followed a nobler man to the grave.
The services were held at the church
where he had labored so hard and had
loved that labor, and few prettier floral
offerings have been seen in Greenwood
than decked the grave DIR. Irvine.
Dr. Irvine is survived by his wife,
two sons and four daughters, to
whom we extend our sincerest sy M
pathy in their loss, but like the hus-
band and father, they appreciate the
fact that he has gone unto his Own,
and that they must make the best of
this sweet old life by emulating the
noble example he set for his family,
congregation and all those with whom
his loving nature'came in contact.
