Rey. Henry Long.

Rev. Henry Long died at his
home six miles west of Tupelo on
Saturday last from hematuria.
He had a severe chill previous to
the attack of the fatal malady
and was very sick man from
the first. The skill of physicians
failed to relieve him and death
soon followed.
Rev. Long was actively en-
gagged in the ministry of the
Baptist church and was a conse-
Grated preacher Of the gospel of
Christ. He followed closely the
teachings of the Master and his
daily life exemplifed the princi-
pies which he taught. He was
kind neighbor, a good citizen and
his death is loss to the COM
munity and to his county. The
remains were carried to Old
Union cemetery north of Belden
for interment. The services were
conducted by Revs. Shelton ano
Coggins.

"Our mourning is because we
know the value of a good man.
AS a church we know what we
have lost-in the prayer meeting,
in the teachers meeting, in the
Baraca class, in the choir and in
the Board of Stewards. We will
miss him in every place and in
every task. The Y. M. G. A
has lost one &c ghom more than
to any other man belonged the
credit for it's success. Who will
undertake to estimate their loss? !?
The public school has lost one of
Iits best assets, and the fraterni-
of cotton men has lost one
whom they will not soon replace.
| cannot and must not speak of
| the home, for he leaves to them
memories too precious for recit-
al tbs a heritage sacredly their
own.
1T is no wonder that our heads
are bowed and our hearts are
bleeding, for a lonely place is left
against our sky. The traveller.
standing in the weird twilight of
the evening time. assures himself
by the gold that gilds the sky
above him that the sun is just be-
yond the horizon. So as we
shall look upon the beautiful
deeds of his life, the expressions
of abiding faith in Christ, we
shall be sure that he is just be-
yond the horizon in the beauti-
ful land. 1t will not be long un-
til we shall see him again. So,
through faiths triumph over our
momentary sorrow, we can say:
Lord, he was thine. and not our own.
/ Thou hast not done us wrong.
We thank thee for the precious loan
Afforded US so long. =
At the close of the services an
unusually long procession fol-
lowed the remains to the ceme-
terry.
The casket was covered with
beautiful floral designs, all of
which spoke of peace, purity and
Immortality.
AS we stood by his open grave
as the last sad rites were per-
formed, and as the clay of earth
closed above his last resting
place, we said with the poet:
"Cold IN the dust the perished heart
may die,
But that which warmed it once can
never die. =

street at 1:15 O'Clock luesuay
afternoon the 1st inst, ROBERT
Angelo Weaver, in the fortleth
year of his age.
In the early spring Mr.. Weaver
was taken i'll and was advised by
his physician to go to the coast.
He went to Biloxi where he spent
a couple of months in a hospital.
Not improving he returned home
where he remained a short while
and then went to Battle Creek.
After some. time spent there ne
was taken to Chicago for treat
ment but his condition did not
improve and he returned nome
about three weeks ago. Since
that time his condition did not
improve and during the early
days of the week his family and
friends realized that the end was
near. At 1:15 Tuesday he quiet
ly passed away surrounded by
his immediate family, his mother
and his only brother, Birchett
Weaver, and a number of devoted
friends. Human skill had been
exhausted to relieve him but
without avail.
Robert A. Weaver was born
December oath, 1872, in Mem
phis, Tennessee. He was the
son of the late Robert Weaver
and Mrs. Olivia Stevenson
Weaver, the latter surviving.
When a boy he attended the
n,,hlie schools of Memphis, after
wards taking the preparatory at
the jones High School. From
there he went to Vanderbilt
where he graduated. Returning
TO Memnhis he entered the cot
ton business with the firm OF w.
A. Gage & Co., remaining with
,aem until five years ago when
he moved to Tupelo and opened
I'D the cotton firm OF K. A.
Weaver & Co., being the senior
member of the firm.
On July 27, 1897, Mr.. Weaver
was married to Miss Georgia
Nav Allen, from which union
six children were born.
In the death of Bob Weaver
Tupelo loses one of its most
seful citizens. Endowed with
the mental capacity to handle a
great volume of business he was
always in demand by the church,
the schools and the public, and
ir was this that doubtless brought
him to a premature grave. Ever
ready to accommodate, he re-
soonded too freely to the de-
mands upon him and his health
gave way under his onerous
duties. He was at the time OF
his death at the head of the cot
ton firm of R. A Weaver & Co.
senior member of the firm of
Weaver-Azwell Co., -presl-
dent of the local Y. M. c. A;
secretary of the Board of Stew
ards of the Methodist church,
,eacher of the Baracca class OF
the Methodist church and trus-
tie of the public schools of the
CITY. Mr.. Weaver had greater
ii.fuence upon the young men
than any man of our acqualnt-
ance. His simplicity OF manner,
his earnestness, his devotion to
every duty impressed the young.
and he had no trouble in gain

of human sympathy and human
happiness, is following in the
footsteps of his Master. His
cheerful, helpful life; his de-
votion to his mother, his wife,
his little children and to his only
brother, and his kindness to
everybody will long linger as a
fragrant memory in the home
which his presence frightened
and which death has darkened.
His record has been made and
will be a lasting heritage to his
loved ones and friends. In his
heart of hearts he carried those
he loved, and his hand was never
weary, his step never failed in
caring for and ministering to
those who were in any way de-
pendent upon him.
The funeral services were
held at the residence conducted
by Rev. w. l.. Duren, his pastor,
assisted by DR.. w. c. Black.
Mr.. Duren in paying beautiful
tribute to the memory of the de
ceased sala III part.
We share together the sorrow
of this hour; and we have come
to do as tenderly as we may the
office which love and faith bids
us perform. This day, like an
ominous shadow, has hung about
US for many weeks; but we could
not have come to it more reluc.-
antly if it had been wholly unan-
ticipated. Yet, | thank God that
our sorrow is not the sorrow that
bends above a bier forsaken of
hope. We sorrow not on his ac-
count, but our own. We have
lost from this life a priceless
jewel-a good man. And because
we know how poorly we can af-
ford to spare men who are brave
and courageous and true in the
cause of right, we mourn.
He needs no words of praise
/ today from you or me; but we
need the comfort and the cheer
and the inspiration which his life
may lend to US. He had not
quite completed his fortieth year;
but the true measure of his life is
not years, it is faith and service.
H was first of all a Christian.
Not a Christian by the confess
sion of a creed only; but by that
confession which finds its express
sion through the purposes and
thoughts and deeds of life.
Then he was the embodiment of
Christian catholicity. To have
been SO fixed in his faith and so
devoted in his spirit, he was one
of the broadest and least fanati-
cal men | have ever known. On
The ether hand he was one OF the
most universally optimistic men
| have known. seemed to me
to be faith incarnate. He was so
anchored that the issue of a task
made no change in his thought.
Even when the ominous cloud of
disease appeared upon his horiz-
on, with the roseate confidence
by which he had lived, he could
say: Il think | have a good
chance to get well, but if /
haven't it is all right /" Our con-
ISOLATION today is, that there lin
| gered in his life to the end the
spirit. the passion, and the con-
