j, X. Pickett.

]. X. Pickett, aged Ga years, died at
his residence on Walnut street in this
city at o'clock this morning after be-
ing confined to his house for fifteen
months by an aggravated case Of
Bright's disease. His remains will be
buried in the City Cemetery at 1880
Sunday afternoon, after services at
the residence.
Mr.. Pickett came to Hattiesburg in
March, 1907, since when he has devot-
ed every hour of his life to the duties
attending those positions filled by
him until his health completely broke
down. He was born near Benton, in
Yazoo county, and was a member Of
one of the most prominent and influ-
entail families of that section of Mis-
sissippi, family which in ante bellum
days lived in affluence and were prom
inent in matters, social, educational
and religious.
One characteristic among others
which marked Mr. Pickett as man of
sterling worth, was the heroic manner
in which he took up the battle against
adverse conditions and the bravery
with which he uncomplainingly met
those conditions. Having married
twice, he leaves to mourn his death
his widow and her two boys, Shelby
and Micajah, and the sons and daugh-
tiers of his first wife, J. R. Pickett, Jr.,
Misses Jennie and Elizabeth Pickett of
this city, Thomas Pickett of Jackson,
Miss, Mrs. Henry Guion of Yazoo coun-
ty and Mrs. W. F. Cummings, Jr., of
Yazoo City. Besides these there are
number of friends who knew the de-
ceased as a good man and true, whose
sympathy goes out to those caused to
mourn.
