New Augusta, Miss, Aug 2
Prof w. II. Smith, supervisor of rural
schools, attended a basket picnic here
Thursday and addressed a homogen-
eous audience of village and rural
citizens. His effort was distinctly a
"back-to-the-farm" appeal He glori-
fed the opportunities of farmer fam
lily, and in glowing terms showed the
optimistic side of rural life.
AS the weather is 95 in the shade,
good deal of perspiration flowed
from both the speaker and his aud
fence. His persuasive praise of school
matters was well received and provok-
ed loud and frequent applause.
Through crowds with calls from all
parts of the state, he is to remain in the
county for several days, and accom-
panied by Prof. Backstrom, our coun-
ty Superintendent, he is to make a
tOul at dl llhS lllOoI oShOOi
points in the county.
Farmers are jubilent over their
prospects, and confidently expect a
record yield of corn, cane, peas and
potatoes, with hope as to cotton as
yet somewhat suspended on account
of the boil weevil, whose ravages are
so varied in different seasons and in
different communities, that the meas.
ure of his probable ravages cannot
yet be estimated.
Cholera is playing havoc here with
hogs but some farmers are using
the serum which is said, if not to cure,
at least to prevent if applied in time,
and the results as already are highly
encouraging.
The Baptist church of this place be-
gins revival meeting here next Sab
bath, with all things favorable for re-
suits, such as crops laid by, merchants
idle, and the usual goodwill which
comes of leisure and summer feast
ing, entertaining, etc.

EX-GOVERNOR EASY WINNER IN
PRlMARY-6EvERIDGE HEADS
INDIANA MOOSE

Nashville, Aug, Benton McMil'
len was an easy winner in the Demo
cratic primary to select a candidate
for Governor 1t was estimated at
midnight that he has carried at least
rs counties and will poll about half of
a total vote of probably $4,000.
The vote was light all over the
State, especially at Memphis and
Nashville. Independent Democrats
evidently kept out of the primary
which accounts for the small vote
polled by the opponents of McMillen.
Ordinarily Democratic State primary
should poll 100000 votes and in the
fight between Gov. Patterson and the
late Senator Carmack for the Demo
cratic gubernatorial nomination about
10000 votes were polled.
Thomas r. Preston, the second can
didate in the race, carried Hamilton,
Lauderdale, Roane and several other
East Tennessee counties. His vote
in Shelby county would also doubtless
have been much larger had it not been
that Mayor Crump and his followers
who were supporting Preston, bolted
the primary on account of alleged I'M
fairness and would have nothing to
do with it,
Walter Faulkner of Lebanon, came
in third in the gubernatorial race,
while Thomas ]. Tyne of Nashville
and w R. Crabtree of Chattanooga
are close contestants for fourth place.
After the announcement of the re-
suits Gov Hooper, Republican, issued
a statement saying the lineup for No
vember is now clear between the law
enforcement and reaction element. He
said the saloon showed its hand in to-
days primary and scored a victory
for the old Democratic machine He
said the independent Democrats and
even many of the regular Democrats
held aloof from the primary.

The harvest of saloon murders in
Michigan has been largely added to
through recent weeks. One that oc-
Cured during the past few days was
the killing of Dusan Scojnovic, a
young Hungarian, who was shot and
killed by Joseph Sombouc, who was
himself but twenty-five years of age.
The shooting was the direct result Of
a drinking debauch. There had been
no quarrel, no i'll will, no prOvocatlon
for murder or anger, only drinking
and then more drinking and the quar-
rel and the crime. Sombouc shot
twice at his victim, the first discharge
of the revolver failing to accomplish
its purpose.
Candidates for governor of Mime
sofa will be called upon by the Anti
Saloon League to state their attitude
toward county prohibition, and on the
replies they make will depend the at
titude of the Leagues trustees. The
headquarters committee instructed T.
J. Youngdahl, the Leagues superin-
tendent, to put the question up to
each candidate, and he has sent out the
letters. The trustees, who represent
all the churches and other organize
tons backing the League, and come
from every section of the state, will
review the position taken by the can
didates and act accordingly.

The state of New York, through its
courts, has declared that the soliciting,
procuring or accepting of orders for
liquors in no-license town is a viola
ton of the excise law. This is nota-
bic victory for the temperance people
of that state. The court Of appeals has
recently upheld the lower courts in
granting an injunction restraining a
liquor dealer and his agents from solic-
lting and accepting orders for liquors
in town which does not permit saloons.
The case was fought through all the
lower courts and in every instance the
temperance people won out.
Andrew Lang, of Plattsville, Colo

conduct a saloon. He will have a
monopoly of the business, as the lot
on which he will establish his place is
the only one in town in which there is

liquor. The mayor will conduct a
model saloon, whatever that is. No
chairs or tables will be allowed in the

George Ashley JefferY.

George Ashley Jeffery was born in
Petaluma, Cal, February 6, 1854,
and died in Talent, Ore, August %,
1912.
He was the second in a family of
seven children and is survived by
two brothers and one sister. One
brother, Richard, is a practicing at
torney in Boston, Mass, and broth
re. Charles, and the sister, Mrs. Lii
lie Nicholson. reside at Candy, Ore.
The father of the deceased was
the Rev. James Jeffery, who for 40
years travelled as a Methodist itin-
Grant in the west, largely in the
state of California, doing heroic
work for Christ all along the coast.
When our brother was IS years
old the family returned for short
time to the state of Wisconsin, trav-
cling by way of the Isthmus of Pan
anna and New York. The parents
had walked across the isthmus when
they first came to California.
Remaining in Wisconsin only six
months, they removed to the state
of Kansas, where they lived for more
than 20 years. There in the year
1881 he was married to Lille l..
FrizZle, who has shared with him the
Joys and sorrows of life until now
and remains among us with blessed
memories of more than 80 glad
years. In 1888 they removed again
to California and in 1898 settled
near Ashland, Ore, from whence
they came in 1904 to Talent, settling
upon the ranch which we all know
as their home and place of truest
hospitality.
One daughter, now Mrs. Gertrude
Yeo, and four sons, Walter, George,
Clarence and Ernest, and an adopted
son, Charles r. Whelan, have glad
dened this home, and all survive the
father, whom they love and honor.
Brother Jeffery was converted and
Joined the Methodist Episcopal
church when he was about 21 years
of age, and lived to see all OF his
children in full membership in the
church, the youngest son being re-
ceived on the last Sunday morning
of his fathers life.
He was one of the original mem
bers of the church at Talent, a mem
ber of the board of trustees, and
though of a retiring nature, was al
ways, if possible, at his post of duty,
and contributed to the support OF
the church with a generosity which
meant sacrifice, but gladly offered

His occupation has always been
that of a farmer and he has sown
seed not only in the soil of Kansas,
California and Oregon, but also in

Miss Nettie Tharn.

The following obituary notice of a
former normal school student is
taken from the Press-Democrat of
Santa Rosa, Cal. Miss Tharp will be
remembered by many Ashland peo-
pie:
Tuesday afternoon Miss Nettie
Tharp passed to her eternal rest.
She was born near Klamath Falls,
Ore, and there resided until she had
completed her high school course.
She was one who applied herself and
made each moment worth while.
Soon after her school course was
completed she took the teachers
county examination and began teach
ing near her home. The deceased
was a girl of more than ordinary
ability and ambition, and wished to
climb higher in the educational
world. Hence in a short time she,
with her parents, moved near Ash
land, Ore, where she completed
course in the Ashland State Normal,
graduating with honors, and immedi-
ately took up teaching as a profes-
sion, which she clung to until strick-
en- down with a complication of dis
eases, which finally resulted in tu-
! berculosis of the kidneys, and from
! this dread disease she fingered for
more than three years. An operation
was performed and the best medical
aid sought in hope of recovery, but
all to no avail. She loved life, loved
nature, loved her school work and
was loved by both the pupils and
patrons of her school She was a
success as a teacher and disciplin-
arian. And while on a bed of pain
and realizing that she would never
recover, her time was often occupied
reading cheerful letters from her
scholars in Oregon and Arizona,
where she had spent great part of
her young life teaching. Few girls
have the host of friends she had.
Always agreeable, cheerful and busy,
she won to her heart all with whom
she came in contact.
"She longed to get well, that she
might comfort and care for her aged
parents, in whose hearts she was an
ideal But after she was confined to
her bed last January she saw there
was no hope and wished to be re-
leased from her pain and taken home

Friends came. from far and near
