IN NIEMORIAM.
A Tribute to the Life and Character
of the Late l.. I. Arnold.

On July 18th, 1912, Mr. L. l. Ar
mold left this life for his reward be-
yond the skies. After many years
of sufferings the Death Angel came
and gave to him sweet relief-that
which no earthly power could give.
Not in cruelty, not in wrath,
The Reaper came that day;
Twas only an angel that visited the
green earth
And bore this loved one away.
He was born in Randolph county,
Georgia, April 18th, 1849, and in
1873 he was happily married to Miss
Texana Whaley, who was born to
him a devoted and faithful compan-
ion, and who with their four chill
dren survive him. In 1879 he NOV
ed to Terrell county, at which place
he lived until his death.
His character was stainless and
unimpeachable. True to his integ-
rity as a christian man, neighbor
and friend none knew him but TO
love him, none named him but to
praise" In the days of his youth he
remembered his Creator, and he gave
his heart and life to God, after which
l[ Was dtLlFciS anu NillIhSlJ ChSUS
ed in His vineyard. His long and
severe Affections were borne with the
utmost OF patience, and never did he
feel forsaken by our Onipotent Faith
er or loved ones, for his devotion to-
ward his family was beautiful. He
was always looking on the brighter
side Of life, and made cheerful his
daily conversation even as he neared
eternity's sunset.
Thou art gone, precious loved one,
Never more canst thou return;
Thou wilt sleep the peaceful SLUMP Der
Till the resurrection morn.
Dear bereaved ones, weep not and
wish him here no more, for he has
completed his allotted work and
gone to a city where no sickness or
sorrow can modest. His earthly tri-
ais are over and his spirit is now at
rest.
Peacefully sleep, beloved one,
Rest from thy tolls, thy labors
are done;
Rest till the trumpet from the open
ing skies
Bids thee from dust to glory arise.
A NIECE, ELOISE.

Description of Visit to Interesting
Section of the State-The~ Ridge

bought by a New York millionaire
at fabulous price. He will convert
it into a hunting ground, and during
the hunting season he and his fam
lily will live on the island and occupy
the Tabby, a palatial home built OF
shell and cement.
In the rear Of Mr.. Morgan's home
are three boat landings, one two
hundred yards distant, another a
quarter of a lille and another mile.
Launches, sail boats and row boats
are always tackled at these landings.
A full view of the tide can be seen
from the east side of the house, and
when the tide comes in it brings in
large numbers of crabs, which we
had to our hearts content. II was
the writer's first experience in crab
catching.
The Ridge reminds one Of some
quaint pretty picture with its shell
road running through the middle,
grand old oaks and hanging moss,
pretty homes and churches. The
people are cultured, intellectual and
social. There are three churches-
Methodist, Episcopal and Catholic
neat, attractive buildings. There
was an added interest thrown around
the Methodist church when was
informed that Rev. Osgood T. Cook,
our beloved former pastor, was mar
ried there to Miss Gussie Mallard,
The old Hallard home still stands
adjoining the church. This church
was Mr.. Cooks first charge.
Mrs. Morgan entertained z num-
Der of guests during her stay at The
Ridge, and by her genial, hospitaole
manner made every one feel perfect
" at home. The days never seemed
too long. The salt air soothed one
at night to sound slumber and slim
ulated the appetite to keen relish OF
the appetizing food spread upon the
table. Mr. Morgan spent three weeks
with his family, and returned TO
Dawson feeling very much recuper-
ated. The Ridge people had the
privilege of listening to two OF his
able sermons delivered from the
Methodist pulpit,
When the remembrance Of other
good times shall have paled to faint
shadows, when the pleasure Jaunts
of other years remain only as pages
in memorys history, the memory of
the last two months outing will eV-
er be green in the memory and fresh
in the hearts of those fortunate
enough to have participated in the
delights of The Ridge. A. P.

The Port Gibson reveille. [volume] (Port Gibson, Miss.) 1890-current, 1912-06-13


The quo warranto proceedings
instituted against the three alder
men of Port Gibson, Messrs. ]. M.
Zones, C. R. Wharton and 6. T.
WaIne, by the Progressive League
to remove them from Office be-
cause of their failure to file bonds
in the time prescribed by law, re-
suited in a victory for the alder
men before Judge H. c. Mounger
Saturday. Another claim made by
the League was that the bonds had
never been recorded.
These proceedings grew out OF
the presenting of a petition to the
board recently, signed by an over
whelming majority Of the voters Of
the town, asking that an election
be held to determine whether
$12, 500 worth Of bonds should be
issued with which to build sand
clay streets, put in a concrete
pavement from the opera house to
the depot and use the remainder,
should there be any, in building
walks in any portion OF the town
the board might elect. It was the
general opinion, however, that
there would not be more than
enough to build the streets and the
one walk specified. The board re-.
fused to call the election, there
being only two members and the
mayor fayoring it, while three
members opposed the measure.
One member, Mr.. c. r. Wharton,
was absent at the time, but it was
understood that he held with the
majority.
No legal steps would have been
taken to remove the aldermen had
| it not been that most Of those op.
posing the proposed improvements
are holding The long terms which
hrun for there ears, and the
League realized fully that no hope
for local improvements could b.
expected while they held Office.

TICK ERADICATION.
Another Letter Referring to Tick
Eradication IN Tennessee.

The experience related below is
not an infrequent one, and proves
the general rule that anything
worth having is worth working for;
and while the cost may seem great
at the time, it will be recovered IN
a year or two after the work is
completed and the benefits will
accrue for all time to come. "The
end will justify the means.
Dunlap, Tenn, May Z, ~.
DR.. ]. A. Kiernan,
Nashville, Tenn.
DEAR SIR:-We, the undersigned
County Board of Health, of this
county, desire to make the follow
ing statement in regard to tick
eradication in our county. We
began this work FIVE years ago this
spring, and thoroughly worked at
it for three years, and have sue
ceeded in exterminating the ticks,
This work did not take well at the
start, with considerable number
of our people; in fact some indig-
nation meetings with large crowds
were called together to condemn
and to hinder the work; but we
kept the work going under the in
and assistance of your
Office.
This is a good cattle raising sec
ton, and the farmers are more in
terested in this business than ever.
We have been acquainted with the
stock raising business in this coun-
ty for forty years, and can truth
fully state that good, nice, fat cat
tie off the range six years ago sold
at cents per pound, and from 2
cents to III cents was the best
price ever received before the work
of tick eradication. Since then our
stock has increased in value every
year, and for the last two or three
years our people have sold same
grade of cattle off the range at 4
cents per pound, and 40 trouble to
find buYers. But before we -eradi.
