Obituary

The death angel visited the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Will Gibson on
April 10, 1912, and took from them
their dear daughter, Ethel. Miss
Ethel was 10 years of age. She
leaves a father, mother and three
sisters, besides a circle of fond
friends to mourn her death. But
our loss is hel gain for she told her
mother, just before she died, that
she was going to heaven. This
gives us great consolation that she
is now at rest. Ethel had been an
invalid for many years and was not
able at attend church as others are,
but it is sweet to know that she
could serve God without going to
church.
Funeral services were held by ].
A. Allison at Antioch at IL a. m.
April lltb, after which the remains
were laid to rest there to await the
resurrection morn. A large crowd
was present to pay the last sad trib-
ute of respect to one they loved.

'What is the trouble?n he asked

what is the trouble?" he asked
mo trouble at all-until you came"
Harry replied, drily.
Harry has simply been doing what
have often done,' General Blazes
explained "He has bought hat"
Primmer glanced at the hat boz
Harry held, and then looked at his
own.
"This then, is for his wife?" he in
quired, sadly,
"What?" the General said, misun-
derstanding Primmer. Another man
buy a hat for my wife? How dare
you'll"
Primmer shrank away from him
Nay" Medders soothed. THE nat
Harry has is for his sister, Carolyn"
NO. Harry corrected him, fearing
some further complication. THE fact
is, l was going to give the hat to
Lucy-with your permission, Mr.. Med
ders. But I didn't like to ask your
permission before all the others here"
Bully for you. Harry!" the General
beamed "You couldn't do a finer
thing"
Primmer lapsed into a At of dejec-
tion.
"Alas!" he sobbed. Homer was
right when he said:
"Alas faint hope / leaned uponl
Alas, thou too art dead and gone"
Cheer him up!" General Blazes
suggested. Let him see your pres
ent for Lucy"
II, too, have a present for Lucy"
Primmer said.
Thee hast?" Medders asked. What
is it, Socrates?"
"a hat" Primmer announced.
Harry leaped to conclusion. In
stantly he coupled Primmer with the
mysterious man who had bought the
duplicate hat at Mile. Daphne's.
Lets see it." he said.
He opened Primmer's hat box, and
one glance was enough to confirm his
suspicion. He dropped the lid quick
ly, took the box from Primmer's unre-
sisting hold, and said:
"Ill take your hat to Lucy. Shell
be-"
mo. shall present it to her my
SELF" Primmer declared, taking the
box from Harry.
"All right" Harry said. Don't let
any one profane that hat by seeing 1:
until it gets to the one for whom it is
intended. And neither will | with
mine. You won't let any one see it,"
Surely not" Primmer agreed.
"All right That's sacred compact
Let's all go in now"
And as he ushered them into the
house Harry said things to himself be-
cause of his foolishness in paying
seventy-fve dollars for hat when the
duplicate was in the house all the
time.
And" he growled, i've still got
one coming from Daphne!"
What did thee say?" Medders
asked, as they went into the reception
room.

was coming this evening to break up

CHAPTER XII.

Mrs. Blazes opened her window. ST.
lently. and lowered to the ground a
rope that was fearfully and wonder
fully made. She had used everything
and anything, from pillow slips to the
cords of the portieres. She had
enough rope to let her out of six
story building, instead of from a win
dow a scant twelve feet from the
ground. The I nd Of the rope stS tied
to a table NJ ar the window Then
she looked down anxiously.
1T is dangerous" she sighed.
The Count wandered into view. He
was growing weary of waiting for
the hat. At sight of the rope he bright
ened up.
Jump oul, "he suggested.
Silly" she said; i've got to climb
down Steady the rope"
He took hold of the lower. end and
Strengthened the rope against the
building.
"But how in the world am to climb
down." she demanded.
Led yourselluf oud slow, und den
slide for life" he told her.
Their argument grew more intense.
She was afraid to trust herself to the
frail means of reaching the earth, and
he was insistent that she should come
down at once. In the midst of their
talk the front door opened. Mrs.
Blazes heard the sound and darted
back from the window, taking the
rope in with her so swiftly that she
left the Count standing with his hands
in the air.
Amos Medders came slowly down
the steps, looking intently at the
Count, whom he could not recognize
in the dark. The Count had not heard
him coming and could not understand

Cleaning up Day,

The Civic League desires to ask the
city of Macon to observe the plan of
other cities in having an annual "clean-
iag-up'' day. Some cities appoint
Arbor Dayton that purpose, but some
communities require different dates to
their convenience The first day of
May seems best suited to Macon, and
it is hoped that those who have not
yet done their spring cleaning will
endeavor to do it then. The city trash
wagon will answere all calls for assist
ance.
A certain magazine has published a
civic alphabet, which with a change in
the day, is as follows:
Aim to make May day annual "~clean-
ing up" day.
Danish the tin can district from your
city.
Clean up back yards and alleys.
Destroy rubbish by burning.
Educate housewives to demand clean
markets.
Fine every member of the club who
does not work.
Give free lectures upon civic improve
ment.
Have campaign against unsightly
bilboards.
Interest city authorities in cleaning
up day.
Join all forces on the anti-dirt cru
SADIE.
Kill sidewalk splitting or it will kill
vOu.
Let your slogan be: "Do it for home,
sweet home"
Make requests of preachers for
''clean up" sermons.
Next to Goodness is cleanliness.
Organize the children into civic
leagues.
Plant trees, and then plant trees and
more trees.
Question authorities about expendi-
lures
Remember to plan parks and play
grounds now.
Study CITY ordinances, and work for
their enforcement.
Try to make the school buildings
social c~enters.
Use every effort to arouse the citi-
zens.
Vanquish the opposition with good
nature.
Wage %unceasing war upon weeds
flies and mosquitoes.
Xact obedience to city sanitary laws,
Your city is you, never forget that.
Zeal. courage, and patience will
"clean up" your city

The BATTLE OF SHILOH.

Mrs. Snowden and Ladies of the u. d. C.
Macon, Miss.
LddieS:
In compliance with your request
| write this as my recollection of the
battle of Shiloh. On the morning of
the 9Th of April, 1862, the Army of
Tennessee commanded by Gen. Albert
Sidney Johnson then camped at Corinth
Miss, was ordered to move on to
Pjttsburg landing, II miles northeast
on the Tennessee river. Gen. Grant,
commanding the United States troops,
had moved out from the river to
Shiloh church. That night our army
went into camp a few miles off, with
orders to sleep on our arms, ready to
move at daylight. We did 50, and at
daylight our advance drove the pickets
back, We o formed in line of bat
tie in the ear of Cheatham's brigade
of Tennesseeans, breasting it through
the dense woods. Firing increased all
the time. When the sun was skapt an
hour high there seemed as II an earth
quake had turned loose when the vol
leys of both sides let go. The brigade
band was playing ":Dixie'' at the time
hut were soon put out of commission,
as the instruments were all shot to
pieces.
We were then ordered to the center
to support Capt. Smiths battery from
Enterprise that was in a duel with
two of the batteries of the enemy, and
for an hour IL was an awful havoc.
Then we were ordered to the left at
double quick where Prentiss' brigade
had just surrendered, and when in their
real we captured a battery that was
trying to get away. Late In the
evening we were ordered to the left
center where Gen Johnson was lead
ing a charge he was mortally wounded.
Beauregard was then in command. and
ordered that fatal halt, which after
wards proved that had it not been
made, we would, in an hour either
rave captured the entire army of the
tederals or run it into the river.
We campsd that night on the field
n the next day Buell. reinforced
Grant with a 10, 900 fresh soldiers and
at daylight advanced on US. Our army
was worn out and next day we gave
back but held the field until the night
OF the 7th when we retreated back to
Corinth.
Grant reported after the battle that
i762 had been killed and Beauregard
li5o, and 1000 or 5000 wounded on both
sides. ~
was a member of Capt. Foot's
company Noxubee cavalry. Mr.. VIM.
Douglas of this county was also a
member of the company.
Respectfully,
l.. f. EILAND.

The Weather.

Several times in the past sixty days,
in mentioning the weather, we have
ventured the prophecy that the worst
was over, but each time the contrary
has proved the case. On Tuesday, fol-
lowing a fall of inch and a half on Mon
day, the almost record breaking rainfall
of 81 occurred, filling the creeks and
causing the river to rise higher than
any year since 1S94-two years after
the Sam Jones flood. According to the
table below, which was kindly fur.
nished US by Weather Clerk Carleton,
this section is 6.43 inches ahead of the
normal rainfall for the first four months
of 1912, with half of April yet to hear
from. With crop-planting already de-
layed thirty days more, and very little
preparation made, this will mean that
no planting can be done in the low lards
until the first of May. The table below
should be cut out and preserved for
comparison:

A LITTLE OPTIMISM.

The weather undoubtedly
has been bad, but let us
think Of the number Of boil
weevils that has been drowned.
Cold blooded animals cannot be
frozen, but neither fish, flesh nor
fowl refuses to be drowned.
Noxubee county can make a
great crop of cotton, corn and hay
and never puts seed in the ground
until the fifteenth of May. She is
no Delta country with the rank
vegetation that requires half a
year to mature, nor a South Mis-
sissippi county that needs seven
months of growing weather to
achieve full growth. The county
has within its borders but little
land that is overlooked more than
a few hours. A few days of fine
weather makes the county look
like a garden.
Why can't we back up the
of All Good Gifts and with.
unreasonable fear of the
look forward with hope to
. good year, and do our best to
make it soY Faint heart never
won fair lady, nor made the sun
shine. In an endurance contest
Noxubcc County ought to beat the
high water, the boil weevil and
he prophets of evil.

Heavy Rain at Hashuqua.

The heavy rainfall here Tuesday was
the heaviest v known in this section.
Bridges. fences and mill dams were
washed away, and much damage done
to lands. The bridge a cross Boone's
creek on the Macon and Fearn Spring
road was washed away, also the bridge
q cross Hashuqua creek at Hashuqua
factory. Some of the old flood gate
framing of the old factory dam was
blown out, and the waters came near
running in the old factory house. 1t

the sides which is 8 or 10 feet above

notice in the columns of you.
/ paper the announcements of par
ties OF candidates for the office O
congressman. Each and every
man, very good citizen every true
and patriotic American citizen,
should give special attention to
the selection of man to fill this,
one of the highest offices within
the gift of the people. w
should choose a man who at all
times stands by his own convic.
tions-a man in whose integrity
there is the greatest confidence.
and of whose ability there is no
room for doubt.
Asa man possessing each and
every qualification, the writer I'm.
hesltatingly suggests the name of
the Hon. Harden II. Brooks, of
Macon. With a great part of this
congressional district Mr.. Brooks
is in close touch. He has repre-.
scntcd his county we'll in the state
legislature, placing his name among
the foremost as a lawmakcr. AS
district attorney he has no peer,
ably and fearlessly discharging his
duty in the prosecution of those
charged with crime but ever anx.
lous to see that the innocent are
indicated.
What other qualifications could
we ask than those possessed by this
son of NoXubec-honest, upright,
straightforward and fearless-a
man who wavcrs not from his W
convictions but is ever ready to
listen to reason.
With such a representative in
congress the First District of Mis-.
s'sslppl might well feel proud,
and it is hoped by your humble
writer and a host of other qauli.
lied electors in Oktibbeha that
soon we will see also the announce.
ment OF this distinguished citizen.
TO whom we would be glad to prof.
or our best effort and support.
q. w. II.
Besides the above correspondent
of the Times many of his friends
have been urging Mr., Brooks to
become a candidate for Congress.
TO the Beacon he stated that
while he appreciated as much as
any man could the honor conferred
by those calls, yet he could not
see his way to enter the contest
this time. Having Just been
elected District Attorney, Mr..
Brooks said he had his work cut
out for him for the next two wears
at least, and he was going to fill
the office the people elected him
to to the very best of his ability,
Mr.. Brooks has for some time
been looked upon as fine con.
gressional timber, and his entry in
the race would quicken the pace
nightly. His record as district
attorney has brought his ability
prominently before the people of
this district which is a large part
of the congressional district, and
he has many strong admirers who
would champion his cause with
enthusiasm.
NoXubec has the making of n
great Congressman in her eloquent
son, and will see him in Congress
before many years.
