In MEMORIAM.

Mr.. W. C. Coleman died at his
home near Cornish on June 4th.
In the death of Bro. Coleman the
county has lost one of its best citi
zens in the person of Billy Cole
man, as he was familarly known.
There was no truer, upright
christian gentleman than he was.
A kind husband and affectionate
father and an ardent supporter of
his church, which he so much low
ed. His remains were laid to rest
in the Liberty cemetery on the
following day. Rev. j. G.. John.
son, of T~occopola, conducted the
funeral services. We will NOT
soon see his likeness again. Nav
richest blessings rest upon
the grief stricken family.

ing the race and all the while
giving my most earnest thought
to the duties and requirements of
the place; | find our laws regu-
lanng the duties of the members
OF the Board would in q way tie
my hands in such a way that |
could not, as think, do the work
that feel is all important at this
time, and that work I think is to
help and see to it that the road
contractors work their road &C.
cording to contracts as signed by
them, for here | think all the
trouble lies.
Should this have been done for
the past two or three years a
bond issue would not, in my
opinion. have been necessary in
this beat, for this has simply
grown out Of conditions, and the
crying need of the people for
good roads has forced this upon
Us, not a fault of the contract
system however, but simply a
failure to comply with same.
While l heartily thank nv
friends for their words of en-
couragement and support, and
claiming them among the think
ing man Of Beat One, and for
fear that l might not under the
present conditions be able to rem
der to the tax payers an accept
able service such as they are
entitled to, should l be success
full, for these reasons, l take
this opportunity OF informing the
voters that l am no longer al
candidate. Respectfully.

WONDERFUL DREAM.

had dreamed about the old Board
of Supervisors of this county. |
dreamed that the first of last
January the members of the old
Board of Supervisors came to the
meeting of the new board in tat
ters and rags, their clothes shred
ded and torn all to pieces, and
blood streaming down their
cheeks and sides, and each OF
them told the members OF the
new board breathlessly, "Well
boys. We have just got through
with our term" so the new board
can draw their own conclusions
as to the mysteries of the future
for them. The new board has
been inducted into the mysteries
of the bond issue and will be
passed through q great many
dangerous holes in the public
roads all OF which, | would ad-
wise, for them to make special
preparation in the way of tough
clothing and be sure and say
their prayers before leaving for
this dangerous journey.
Now, one of our best appli-
cants. after passing over the rug
& ID road of the bond issue, has
rallen by the roadside; 20
what a fall was there my country
men," then, you and | fell down
and wept, while the bloody
bond issue flourished DER u.s."
He barely got over this rugged
place and looked out into the
future mysteries yet to come and
his courage failed him, broken
down physically and impaired
mentally, he gave up the ghost.
Now, a word of advice and en-.
couragement to the remaining
our applicants. Your road Is
very rough and dangerous, but
remember that your predecessors
came out alive. would say to
you in a fatherly way to always
have the back bone of a Stone
wall Jackson and the acute
judgment of a John d. Rookie
Teller, so you can act quickly
and accurately on all PROPOSE
tons that come before YOU.
Your friends should feel free to
approach you ut all times and
give you the best advice they
possibly can, then it is your duty
to take this advice and weigh il
carefully and then show your
manhood by drawing your own
conclusions and act for the best
interest of the people whom you
represent, regardless of friend or
foe. Now by special request of
Capt. W. c. Neil to know lust
what | had dreamed about him, |
want TO say this, after going
home and getting a proper trans
lation of the ancient Hierosly-
phics Gas all my dreams are in
this kind of writing). l found that
l dreamed that the Captain had
started out to make an honest
and had not met with any
opposition at all. Now, in con-
clusion, will say that | consulted
q physician in regard to the kind
of diet | used last week that caus-
ed such a hideous dream, and he
told me to change my diet to ice
cream, pies, custards and cakes.
He says this kind OF diet does not
generate gas so rapidly and cause
such a commotion in the action
of the brain cells. He told me to
this diet a few days and
that the action of my brain cells
would ultimately become normal.
Very truly yours,
The Noted Dreamer.
P. s. 1t is very gratifying to
me, indeed, that my closest
personal friends tell me that II
more sense while ] am asleep
and dreaming than | have while
am awake.
