Prominent Men Visit Grenada.

Col. l.. H. Anderson, magazine edl-
tor and historical writer for the llli-
nois Central railroad company, with
headquarters at Chicago, and Col. G.
M. Dugan, retired telegraph operator,
with headquarters at Tiptop, KY, were
in Grenada several days last week get
ting data which might enable the rail-
road company, so it was stated, to pre-
pare correct history of the Civil War,
especially as relates to the sections
through which the lines of the l. c.
railroad company run. These gentle
men had a photographer with them,
with the view of getting pictures of
places and scenes connected with the
war. Col. Dugan was telegraph oper-
ator in Grenada at the time of Lees s
surrender, and it is rather thrilling to
hear him relate the dissemination of
the news of Lees action to the gallant
band of Confederate soldiers stationed
here. Col. Uugan was with the tele-
graph company for forty-eight years
and is now drawing a pension from the
corporation which he served so long.
These gentlemen visited the cemetery
and other points in and around Gren-
ada. They were ELUSIVE in their COM
pliments Of Grenada and its beauty as
residence town. Quite number of the
older citizens recalled Col. Dugan's stay
in Grenada and his coming here agar
revived pleasant memories of his ser
vice in Grenada.
Col. Anderson is a fine writer and th'
compilation of the railroad compan,
will be looked for ward to with no littl'
interest.

DOCTORS AFRAID
TO GIVE CALOMEL
After Effects Uncertain and Often Dan
perous. Dodson's Liver-Tone Mild
Medicine, Takes its Place.

The use of calomel has been stopped
in thousands of homes. Dodson's Liv-
er-Tone, a pleasant vegetable liver
tonic that is perfect substitute for
calomel in curing constipation and BILL
iousness, is taken instead. Dodson 8
Liver Tone is absolutely harmless and
its use is not followed by nausea and
another attack of constipation as often
happens after taking calomel. Jno. r.
Sones & Co. have sold so much Dod-
sons Liver-Tone and it has been so
satisfactory wherever taken, that they
guarantee to give any person his money
back if he does not lind It per1ect
substitute for calomel. NO restriction
of habits or diet is necessary.

pi will convene next week at Green
wood, with Bishop Morrison presiding.
The annual gathering of the hosts of
Methodists of north Mississippi is al

terested in the doings of this body and
is especially so this year, The Method

the present pastor, Rev. ]. A. Hall, re-
turned. He is great preacher and is
much beloved by the entire town. His
pulpit utterances are always Of the
highest order and are such that stir
mems souls and encourage the purest
religious life. Grenada will be greatly
disappointed if Mr.. Hall is not returned
to this charge.

Of his daughter, Mrs. H. F. Simpson in
Grenada. on the morning of Nov. 23 in
the list year of his age.
Funeral services were conducted from

Afternoon, after which his remains
were laid to rest in Odd Fellows
cemetery. His old war comrades
officjated at the funeral, whic h
added much to the solemnity OF
the scene. The pastor, Rev. J. A. Hall,
paid a very beautiful and appropriate
tribute to the life of the deceased. Rev.
T. G, Freeman spoke feelingly OF the
life of his dead friend.
Mr.. Garner was born in Yalobusha
county, near Torrance, and had lived
all his life within radius OF twenty
miles of the place of his birth. AS a
young man he was active, vigorous,
positive and alert-qualities that fol-
lowed him to the grave. When the war
came on he enlisted in Company n,
18th Mississippi Regiment, and it IS not
too much to say that there were lew II
any soldiers in the Confederate army
who were more sacredly devoted TO tne
cause of the Stars and Bars than J. !.
Garner. He had the misfortune 70
lose an arm at the battle OF Flsnine
Creek, KY. IT,
every duty bravely and fearlessly: TX
pediency had but a little part IN MI
makeup. He was uncompromising TO-
what he believed to be right and nae
little patience with what might d
termed temporizing. He knew notnlni
of dissimulation or the arts OF dlpio
macy. There was never any douD
about where he stood on any mora
question, nor was it necessary 70 ca
him when friend was in trouble n |,
was always there. He was trutn1ui
honest, upright and it was his desire ::
be Just and to set an example OF rectl
tude of character and OF fidelity 70 Una
which is true and noble. In the storm
periods of the history OF this ana ale
busha counties, he was conspicuou

Obituary..

On November 6, 1912, the spirit of
Sister V. R. Patterson winged its flight
to the Father who gave it.
She had been carried to the Jackson
sanitorum for an operation, but was
not able to undergo it, and succumbed
to the inevitable. She was the wife of
our beloved and efficient V. R. Patter-
son, cashier of the Grenada Bank.
She was of the most beautiful and
sterling character. She knew the truth
and loved it.; knew the principles of
life and adored them; knew honor and
greatness and possessed them; she
knew the Lord and studied His perfect
revelation in Christ. Her character
was portrayed in her beamng counten-
ance.
She was a member of the First Bap-
tist church and of the choir, where she
delighted to worship and praise God in
her heart and with her unusually good
voice, She was member of our Sun
day school and it was her great pleas
ure to go and carry her beautiful little
boy, whom she taught and set most
beautiful example of righteous living.
She had won to herself large host of
admiring friends and they watched her
last days of illness with unabated in

her restoration; they performed almost
every duty that grows out of happy
friendship; but we had to bow to the
will of the Divine Father who whis-
pered to her soul that she must change
her relationship from earth to that of
heaven-m move from tenement of clay
to that of mansion in heaven to await
the coming of her friends and loved
Iopac x,hn trl1c tho ord .lpSllS
She was loving and devoted wife
and companion, an affectionate and ten
der mother. She was friend to all.
She was queen in her home. She was
righteous and it might be said of her as
it was said of Nathaniel, she was &
christian in whom there was no guile
The Lord bless her husband and little
boy, that they may meet her in th'
, Sweet Bye and Bye. W. R. Cooper.

Tribute 10 Governor Brewer.

The Mobile Register, through its
Mississippi representative, Mr.. Garrard
Harris, pays Governor Brewer the fol-
loving high tribute for the wise and
courageous stand he took in the A. 4 |
M. College matter:
Many compliments indeed are being |
paid to Governor Brewer for his
prompt act in going to Starkville and
taking charge of the situation there. 1t
was due to this fact that the insurrec-
ton among the students was brought
to such a speedy conclusion. i
In the first place, he made three OF
the most sensible speeches ever heard
addressed to boys. The first was flat
enunciation of the purpose of the state
and the duly constituted authorities to
run that school, and not allow lot of
bows and young men to run it. The
way the Governor "stood pat" on this
proposition took much of the wind out
of the sails of the obstreperous cubs
who had the idea they were in charge
of the situation, and defections began
at once. The boys thought they had
only the faculty to deal with. They had
not reckoned upon the whole strength
of the state of Mississippi, and when
the Governor declared he was going to
have order and authority there If he
lhad to call out the National Guard and
train gatling guns on the campus, the
boys knew the thing was over with
!, right then.
The second address was an elabora-
ton of the first, and a reasoning with
|. the boys upon the utter absurdity of
their conduct. The third, on Monday,
|. is reported to be one of the finest heart
to heart talks with crowd OF boys ev-
er listened to. There were fifty or a
{ hundred patrons of the institution in
/ the chapel who heard it, and they are
| ringing its praises everywhere. an6
3 have suggested even that it be printed
as pamphlet and distributed to al
the schoolboys in the state. The Gov
: ernor just got right next to the hearts
t of those boys and talked to them ike
v they were his own sons, and showed

Sells so Turkeys.

]. w. Williams of Williamsville, this
county, brought to Grenada Monday
fifty fine turkeys, which were sold to
W. D. Salmon & Co., who shipped
them to other markets.
The raising of so many turkeys shows
a commendable enterprise and goes a
long way towards increasing the debt
paying power of the cotton crop.

London, Aug. 27.-Rain which has been deluging the United Kingdom al most constantly since the beginning of the month ceased in most parts of the country today. and the outlook gen. eraly is fairer.
