Condemns BIeaSe.

1t is not often that a Governor of one
of our states ever allows himself to be-
come so wrought up over the discussion
of any public question as to make such
a statement as Governor Blease of
South Carolina made in a heated COLO
guy with Gov. nonaghey of Arkansas,
during the meeting of Governors re-
Gently at Richmond. Gov. Donaghey,
in the course of a speech, said he hoped
the lynchers in every state would be
tried, convicted and punisheu with hang
ing, when Gov. Blease took the floor
and said that all lynchers of negro
brutes who committed the unnamable
crime against white ladies of his state
would 60 unpublished, so long as he
held the pardoning power, and that 80
far as he could prevent it there would
be no trial of the lynchers. He thot it
right to lynch'for that offense.

Ia Honor Of Miss EIvIr Winter.

One Of the most brilliant social af-
fairs of the season was the progr essive
dinner party given by Mrs. w. B.
Hoffa on Tuesday evening, Dec. 10, in
honor of one of the seasons charming
brides-to-be, Miss Elvir Winter, and
her bridal party.
The tables were arranged in the sun
parlor, which had been transformed in
to a veritable bower of pink roses and
Southern smilax. Airy bows of tulle
were used to mark the tables, six in
number. Covers were laid for "a. The
center decoration of each table was a
wreath of smilax surrounding four IAN
dlesticks with green and pink satin
shades, under which burned green and
pink tapers carrying out the color
motif. The places were marked by
white tulle bows, pink hearts and the
most attractive pink and white baskets
filled with love taps and confetti, which
were showered on the bride, when the
host, Mr.. Hoffa, toasted the bride most
delightfully."-.
The living room, where the numerous
presents were on display, was beauti-
fully decorated in garlaDds of Jackson
vine. To welcome her guests, Mrs.
Hoffa was charming in yellow char
meuse and rose point lace. while the
honoree looked lovely in light green
satin with spangled chiffon draperies.
Six courses were served and at the
end of each course a couple progressed
to the table above, all going towards
the brides table, which was in the
center.
Those who were so fortunate as to
eniOv Mrs. Hoffa's h%Ospitalitv were:
Miss Winter, MIR. Gilmore of Chicago;
Miss Roane, Mr.. Jones of Chicago; Miss
Austin. Mr.. w. A. Winter; Miss Louise
Austin. Mr.. Lyon of Nashville; Miss
Batson, Mr.. K. w. Jones Jr.; Miss
Moody, Mr.. Robert Wright; Miss Du-
bard. Mr.. Meek; Miss Broadstreet, Mr..
W. E. Penn; Mrs. R. P. Lake, Col. R.
P. Lake of Memphis; Mrs. W. B. Hoffa;

Death Claims Mrs. Alice Todd.

On Saturday afternoon of last week
death claimed Mrs. Alice Todd at the
home of her son, w. R. Todd, in Gren-
ada, and her remains were carried the
next day to Holly Springs and laid to
rest beside those of her husband, who
departed this life during the epidemic
of yellow fever in 1873. Mrs. Todd
came here to visit her son in Septem-
Der and had been i'll ever since. In fact,
she was sick when she reached here;
she was given every care and at
tention that it was possible for loving
hands and hearts to do, but in spite OF
it all she grew from bad to worse un-
til the end came. She was conscious of
her condition and gave directions for
her burial. She was a good woman.
She had been a member of the Baptist
church since her childhood and had q
wide circle of friends in Pontotoc and
Chickasaw counties. To the Borrowing
the Sentinel extends sympathy.

The body OF the declaration OF indie

constitution. Nearly every signature
to the instrument, however. is almost
entirely obliterated In 1852 II was
desired to take facsimile OF the dec
laration, and, as there were no other
means known at that time. press
copy was taken OF IL. This absorbed
the ink from nearly all the signatures
and left the body very faint. The
declarat ton had also been exposed to
strong sunlight when II was exhibited
at the Centennial exposition in Phila-
'delphia. and again at the Chicago
Worlds fair in 1898.
Both documents are written on
parchment with quill pen and are
kept I'm a light steel safe. This safe
is not fireproof, however. and orders
were therefore given at the time of
the recent inspection for the constr1ic-
ton of a new depository for the in
struments that should be hreproof.

ice on Traverse Bay iS Just thick

TWO HISTORIC RELICS.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.


The two most precious documents
in the possession of the United States
government are the declaration Of in
dependence and the constitution. These
were recently brought to the light OF

and upon being subjected to examina-
ton by the secretary of state were
found to be in as good conditions as
when they were placed in their pres
ent abiding place. a steel safe especial
~ made for their custody.
The four pages of the constitution
and the resolution submitting the in
striment TO the states for ratification
are in excellent conditions, the ink
being as black and legible as when 1t
was used. century and quarter ago.
The ink is of quality that Will out
