Depot-Laying party from Cape Evans

at South Cape and severed communi-

heavy weights to be transported the
main part of the supplies were left at
this camp. The party proceeded with
single loads east, southeast, 81 miles
to spot named Corner Camp, before
turning south to avoid the crevasses
of White Island. The snow surface
proved very soft, making terribly hard
work for the ponies. A three days
heavy blizzard at Corner Camp was
further severe trial to the animals,
which were not in good condition.
On February Sth, we proceeded
south. marching by night and resting
by day. The weather was exception

The three weakest ponies were sent
back, but these unfortunately were
caught in another bad blizzard and
two succumbed. With the remaining
ponies and the dogs we reached lati-
tude 701s degrees on the 18th, when

You cannot keep we'll unless the

Don't wait until the bowels are consti-

They are the finest natural laxative

and thorough. They strengthen the
stomach muscles, and will not injure
the delicate mucous lining of the
bowels. Lloodine Liver Pills have a

Rod Long.

Died, at the home of his par
ents three miles east of Tupelo
on Monday morning, the 10Th
inst, Rod, the ten-year-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. C. M. Long.
The little fellow had been
slightly i'll for day or two but
his condition was not such as to
cause apprehension, and in the
early morning hour Monday he
was taken suddenly i'll with con-
gestion and died before the
physician could be resummoned.
Rod Long was a typical little
fellow with whom all who as
sociated grew fond. He was
light hearted. open and courteous
in his associations with his FAM
ily and comrades and became a
general favorate with all. He
was fond of the games and
amusements that go to make a
boy happy, and in the round of
every day life he took an active
part in making the life of the
family happy and pleasant. But
in the full possession of all his
faculties the final summons came
to him and in the innocence of
childhood his soul went back to
the Maker. The taking away
of one so young and so full of
life and hope if a dispensation of
Providence beyond the ken of
the finite. The bereaved father
and mother and brothers and
sisters have the coincidence of
many friends in the dark hour
that has come into their lives,
and when they have drained the
cup may the peace that passeth
all understanding come to them
from One who cares for each
little sparrow that falls.

Notice.

To Corn Club, Domestic Science
Club, Farmers and Farmers
Wives:
The annual Round Up
Farmers Institute at A. & M.
College is held this year the first
week in September, beginning
on Tuesday and continuing
through Saturday. The informa-
ton to be gained is well worth
the trip. The railroad and hotel
expenses for the entire trip and
week will be about Sc, but less if
the stay is less. Railroad fare
is about $2.25 and hotel bill rs
cents per day. Every farmer
who can possibly spare the time
and funds ought to go, and with
him carry his wife, son and
daughter. This year a special
department has been arranged
for the housewives and Domestic
Science girls.
The writer expects to spend
the week there and would like
to carry quite a number of boys
and girls.

Dwight Ewell Watson.

Dwight EweIl Watson; born
Nov. Z, 1886, died July 80, 1912.
Some souls are so strong, pure
and noble, that to see them is to
know. Such was the subject of
this sketch. Born of good par
ents and raised under pure and
pious influences, he was perhaps
always good. He joined the
Cumberland Presbyterian church
at twelve years and ever after
wards lived true christian life.
He was loved and respected by
all who knew him and he had
wide circle of friends, for he
was the friend of all he knew.
He was made perfect perhaps
thro suffering. for he had suffer-
ed some time and very likely
more than any one knows. for
he was so unselfish that he kept
his own sorrow and pain from
his loved ones and friends.
He was married to Miss Lila

was very happy union and God
only knows the dreams of love.
peace, joy and true happiness
that were crushed to leaves and
ashes when his promising young
life was cut short by the ruthless
hand of death. He was smitten
with brights disease and fingered
for several weeks, in which he
showed that faith and grace is
sufficient for earth's day of sor-
row and suffering. Through it
all he was cheerful and brave.
He came to mis- end, not as one
that is conquered, but as one
that conquers. On Tuesday at
$50 a. M, just as the night felt
the first conquering touch of day
his gent e spirit fled thro the
gates Of death and triumphed
over the wreck of the things of
time and space and was at home
with his God. May grace and
strength be given to bereayed
ones. May faith hear the whis
pers from afar and hope cast an
anchor within the vale.

Y. NJ. c. A. Campaign Great
Success.

Last week the Y. M. G. A. put
on a Membership Campaign.
Their slogan was "3O0in 8 Days. !"
The result was more than pleas
ing, for instead Of 300 in 3 days
it was $50 in 3 Days.
This success was largely due
to the systematic organization,
the enthusiastic citizens, and last
but not least, the Secretary, Mr..
w. 7. Nettles.
Before the three days in which
old members renewed and new
members enrolled six teams of
men and two of boys were organ
lied. When they went to work
they were welcomed by Y. M. c..
A. enthusiasts. To Mr.. Nettles
is due the credit in handling the
campaign in such a skillful man.
