Mrs. Harriet Bacon Dixon.

At one-thirty o'clock Monday
afternoon Mrs. Harriet Bacon
Dixon died at her home on North
Broadway in this city.
After a long, busy and useful
life she died as she had lived
honored, trusted and loved. She
reared her own monument while
she lived in the hearts of all who
knew her, Her life was COM
pleted, if work all done and well
done constitutes completion. Her
christian life was beautiful, and
through all the vicissitudes and
sorrows that she met on the way
her faith in God never wavered.
Our little city and it's people held
a warm corner in her heart. 1t
was here the best days of her
life were spent, where her. fam
lily was reared and the happy as
sociations of a long life were
formed and enjoyed. She was a
member of the Presbyterian
church, lived a consecrated life
and died a triumphant and hap
py death.
Deceased leaves three daugh-
ters, Mrs. I. E. Gardner, Mrs.
Robt. Lewellen, Miss Leila Dixon
and a number of grandchildren
to mourn her death. The funer-
al services were conducted from
the residence by Rev. A. O.
Price, her pastor. A large num-
Der were present to pay ther last
Tribute of respect.

Washington's Birthday
Celebrated by Pupils

UnQer the uiICStioh ~ sAS
teachers, Mrs. Trice and Miss
Jennie Newell of the first grade,
and Miss Virginia Harris of the
second grade. the pupils in these
grades celebrated Washington's
birthday yesterday afternoon.
The program for the occasion
was we'll chosen and the little
tots entered into the spirit of the
occasion with zest and each per-
formed his or her part with
much credit to themselves and
their teachers.
The story of Washington will
never grow old. He is today the
real Washington in the minds
and hearts of his countrymen
that he was at Valley Forge,
Brandywine and Bunker Hill.
Each generation finds IN his
character the same high qualities
that made him the hero of his
times, and from one end of the
country to the other there is
found the same spirit of patriot
ism in paying homage to the
greatest character in our history.
The story of his hoyhood, his
hatchety and the dire results of
his imprudence in the use of it,
has found place in all histories
of his times, and the poets and
artists have made him the sub
iect of jest and parody in vari-
Gus ways to the delight of both
the young and old. The follow
lowing is the latest that has
found place and favor with the
children:
One time there was little boy
Who had a little hatchet; Z,
He ran all round with childish glee
To find tree to catch it.
CHORUS.
George! George! no, no, no!
Naughty little sinner.
He ought to go to bed and go
Without bite of dinner.
At last he found cherry tree
Within his fathers garden.
He laughed and laughed with wicked
glee;
See how his heart did harden.
He chopped and chopped that cherry
With that bright little hatchet;
He never tn ,ught that sometime he
Would surely have to catch it.
His papa caught him at the trick;
He came up close behind him;
He carried in his hand stick
To make his Georgia mind him.
"Oh, papa!" said George Washington,
Il did it. truly |, sir,
l know you're proud of such son
| can not tell lie, sir.
Oh, Georgia cut that cherry tree
With his NICE little hatchet;
He didn's tell lie. and we
Must always try and match it.

Harrisburg Battle
Field To Be Marked.

Field To Be Marked.
Representative P. E. Caroth-
ers. chairman of the pension
committee of the house has in
troduced a bill providing for an
appropriation for suitably mark
ing the battle field of Harris
burg. While we have not seen
the text of Mr.. Carothers' bill we
feel sure that it provides for a
fund to be used in connection
with the fund that is being raised
by the Daughters of the Confed-
eracy to mark the spot upon
which was fought one OF the
bloodiest battles of the civil war.
At Harrisburg Gen. Smith, with
his federal troops. was met and
turned back from his contempla-
tie d raid through Mississippi.
This battle was fought on July
ID, 1863, Gen. Stephen D. Lee,
commanding the Confederate
troops, with Gen. Forrest pres
ent with his arlny and doing the
nrincipal part of the fighting.
The bodies of the federal sol
diers killed in the battle were
soon after the war carried to Co
rinth, where they rest in the
beautiful nationalcemetery. Only
the shattered trunk of an oak
tree, with it's withered limbs
yielding to the encroachments of
time and the elements, mark the
spot where the bodies of the
Confederates lie The legisla-
ture could make no mistake in
setting aside a modest sum to
mark the final resting place of
our dead. 1t is too late to at
tempt to move their bodies, but
some testimonial should be placed
at their final resting place to show
that Mississippians have not for
gotten those who fell in defense
of the women and children and
of the honor of the state in the
; great conflict in which we lost.
Mr.. Carothers is meeting with
endorsement from various sec
. tons of the state in his effort to
get his bill through the legisla-
ture and below we append one OF
a number of letters he has re-
ceived approving his bill:
Il see you have introduced a
bill for the removal and properly
marking the graves of the SOL
diers who fell at the battle OF
Harrisburg, which should have
been done many years ago, as it
was slaughter pen, and the fal-
len ones should be remembered.
l have never seen the place since
three days after the battle. when
the fallen ones were yet lying on
the field. Our regiment was
completely ruined at that battle.
my brother. James R Lamp
ton, and Capt. J. W. Ball were
left on the. field, and from our
company (K) only two came out
withoutany wounds. Please push
your bill through. and | DO not
see why any one would oppose
an appropriation so small. | am
getting old now, and it can never
be effaced from my memory,
that fatal day. 1t is Que the
dead that something should be
done. Thanking you for the in
terest you have taken, | am,
Yours truly,
A. F. HAMPTON,
TylertOWn. Miss.

FINE INSTITUTE
Continued from page l


The library building, substantially
constructed of brick, contains $4,000
volumes. Here the book lover can re
vel for hours among the volumes and
manuscripts. On the shelves are old
books printed in the fifteenth CEN
clasps, and Inundated text. They
are of great value and many of them
could not be duplicated. The library
| is in charge of Father Alexius, one
of the most accomplished scholars in
the country.
The buildings are heated by steam
and lighted by electricity from CEN
trail plant on the grounds; also water
tower, laundry and pumping station.
The institution has telephone and
| tele graph office. There is printing
office operated by the students in
which the catalogues and other neces-
sary matter in that line are printed.
| The institution has a magnificent
| dOWry in the form of thousand
! acres of valuable land. Part of this
| is cultivated by the Benedict!ne Faith
ers; the rest is wooded and studded
with lakes.
After the institution was inspected
the Sank Centre visitors were escort
ed back to the refectory where they
were again refreshed and then sent
on their way with hearty hand clasps
and good wishes.
A short visit was made to st.
Benedict Academy for young ladies
at ST. Joseph where, as at ST. Johns,
Father Arts presence was the open
sesame. This is a fine institution
which in the short time allotted at the
VISITORS disposal, could not be prop
erly inspected. But the hour and a
half spent there showed the visitors
the high grade of the work that is be-
ing done by uthe Sisters o f St.
Benedict. The discipline, like that
at ST. Johns, is excellent and the
course of study thorough. A hearty
welcome was accorded the visitors by
the black-robed Sisters and when the
party came away, the Sisters who had
acted as guides stood on the veranda
and waved a farewell.
The trip home was made in good
time. the party arriving shortly be-
fore eight o'clock, we'll pleased with
their visit to the two institutions.
