DODGED TARIFF REVISION
Roosevelt, When President, Failed to
 Take Any Action.

Once in his life Mir. Roosevelt al most expressed an opinion on the tarif question. In preliminary draft of one of his messages to congress as it came from the printer was this sentence. Tn later message I shall discuss the tarif" on revising the proof sheets of his message Mir Roose- welt blue-penciled that line. And he never came even that near to dis. cussing the question again as long as he remained in the White House.
 And yet the tariff law then on the statute books was far more objection. able than the Payne law, which he Is now so vigorously denouncing. Why didn't he revise the tariff the way he now says 1t ought to have been when he had the power? He says now he wants to fix it so that more of the tariff prize money will go into the pay envelope of the workman. {" Why didn't he fix 1t" that way dur. ing the seven and one-half years he was in the White House?
 In other words, in the face of his record while in office, is not all the Third Termer's present talk about she tariff the most transparent gun and blum and balderdash?

Sammie Eave..

Sam was the little son of our neigh
Dor, Mr.. and Mrs. Louis Eayes. His
sojourn in this world was short, less
than three years. He was one OF that
countless throng of messengers, sent
from above, on some sacred mission.
which is soon accomplished, and then
they are called back home.
Sammie visited US all frequently. de
had little or nothing to say, but the in-
nocent sweetness of babyhood and the
light of Heaven were in his face.
So when he was Unexpectedly sum-
moned to depart, the family and neigh
bors were grief-stricken and shocked
to part with our little messenger
friend.
Of course we know the Kingdom to
which Sam belonged, and that he was
well attended, but we miss his dear lit
tie presence sorely, and then we know
he must have had some special, urgent,
brief and important business with US
all who knew him, and we are striving
earnestly to discover what that mission
was, SO ''the hand Of little child
shall lead lis to do the will of God and
be ready 'some sweet day. to enter
that Kingdom with Sammie and the
hosts which he represents. Lord help

Lester Morris Armour.

A message of the 3rd inst.
brought the sad intelligence of
the death of Mr.. Lester Morris
Armour at his home in Mobile.
Mrs. Armour had left home two
days before to come to Tupelo to
visit her mother, Mrs. E. L.
Cosby, and left Mr.. Armour in
his usual health. She received
a message to return and Mr..
Armour survived only a few
days after Mrs. Armour reached
his bedside.
Lester Morris Armour was
born and reared in Mobile, Ala.
he belonged to an old and promi-
nent family of that city and was
recognized as one of the most
substantial and successful young
business men of the city. His
firm did an extensive lumber
business. On December the 26th,
1911, he was married to Miss
Mary Kate Cosby, of Tupelo.
The couple went to Mobile where
they have since resided.
The remains were brought to
Tupelo and buried from the
residence of Mrs. Cosby on the
afternoon of the fifth inst, the
funeral services being conducted
by Father Yerg of the Catholic
church, of Columbus. At the
grave Father Yerg delivered a
beautiful oration, setting out the
many evidences of the immortal
ity of the soul and a happy re-
union beyond the grave. The
floral offerings of friends were
numerous and beautiful.
The sympathy of many friends
goes out to the bereaved wife of
only q few months, in the great
sorrow that she is called upon to
bear.

Handle Fruit With Care.

For the first time in a number
|of years this section has a splen-
did fruit crop, especially peaches.
The past week there was a libe-
raj supply on the streets, many
|of the wagons coming from a
distance, from the peach section
|of Union and Pontotoc counties.
Some of the fruit was brought to
market in very poor condition
and were sold below the market
price.
/ Fruit beaten from the trees,
especially peaches, cannot be
Eeold to good advantage. 1t can
not be canned, preserved or
|pickled, and only serves to lower
the price of good fruit.
Those who have peaches to
market should bear this fact in
mind and take the time to pick
them from the trees, pack in saw
dust, or something that will keep
down bruising and they will be
fully repaid for this extra trouble
| md pains in handling their crop.

The mother should make sure that
the laxative used contains no opiate
or narcotic drug. A mild, pleasant
