S. J Brandon.

A telegram to Norbin Jones
from T. M. Kemp, Acting Supt.
of the Jefferson Davis Soldiers
home at Beauvoir, dated May
18th, states that Jack Brandon
died there Monday night.
Mr.. Brandon left here about
the first of April to enter the
Soldiers home. For sometime
he had been in declining health
and sought this haven of rest
that he might spend his few re-
naming days with old comrades
who had gathered there. The
end was not far delayed and the
final summons came to join his
comrades on the other side to
rest beneath the shade of the
trees.
S. J. Brandon enlisted as a
private in Company H. End Miss.
Regiment, Infantry, in August
1861, from Pontotoc county and
served up until May 9Th, 1864
His captain was Capt. Sam H.
Taylor, Col. John M. Stone COM
handing the regiment. On
May 9Th, 1864, at the Battle of
the Wilderness in Virginia his
left leg was broken below the
knee and it became necessary to
amputate it. Returning to his
home in Mississippi as soon as
he was able he took up the bat
tie of life and made a good citi-
zen. For many years he made
his home in Lee county and had
many friends among all classes.
As a soldier he made a good
record and his comrades in arms
admired him for his gallantry
and soldierly bearing. In his
passing away another Of that
loyal band is numbered with the
dead. He was buried at Beauvoir
on the coast by the side of a
number of ex-Confederates
whose last resting place is the

T. F. Ramage.

On Saturday the 10th inst. at
his home in Columbus, Mr.. T. F.
Ramage died after a lingering
illness. Mr.. Ramage had been
in poor health for nearly a year
and his death was not unexpect-
ed to his family and friends.
Deceased was reared near Shan
non and a great part of his life
was spent in Lee county. When
quite a young man he went on
the road as a travelling represen-
tative for the Mississippi Mills
at Wesson and travelled for them
for many years. Since that time
he has been constantly on the
road and his acquaintanceship
extended over several of the
Southern states. He was a jovial,
wholesouled gentleman and had
long list of friends who will
regret to learn of his death.
The body was taken to Shannon
and laid to rest in the family
burial ground.

Methodist church will dedicate next
Sunday to Mothers Day, and invites
you to join with them in honoring the
memory of the one who in most of our
hearts comes next to the blessed Christ
himself-the best mother who ever
lived-your own.
On Mothers Day we will recall the
memories of the mothers that are gone,
and, through loving words and loving
cares, to brighten the lives Of the
mothers that remain. and to help the
children and men and women to a
greater blessing in honoring their
father and their mother.
We will recall mothers prayers,
muther's dying words, and the promises
made to mother by the big boy that
mourns her, and to stop and think a
little of what she was in her life to her
family.
Others who are blessed with their
good mother still near them, may show
their appreciation by some deed of
gratitude and love. If away from
home, write her a love letter, send a
telegram, use long distance phone, or
special delivery of the post Office.

In the old home far away,
Sit you down and write a letter
You put off from day TO day.
Don't wait until her weary steps
Reach heavens pearly gate,
But show her that you think of her
Before it is too late.
eff you have a tender message,
Or a loving word to say,
Don't wait until you forget it,
But whisper it today.
You know what bitter memories
May haunt you if you wait,
So make your loved n happy
Before it is too late.
''The tender words unspoken,
The letter never sent,
The long-forgotten messages,
The wealth Of love unspent-
For these some hearts are breaking,
For these some loved one wait;

TARIFF BILL PASSES HOUSE.

TARIFF BILL PASSES HOUSE.
The Underwood tariff bill pas
sed the House by the decisive
vote of 281 to 139. The demo-
Gratis lost five votes from their
party and gained two from the
republicans; four progressives
supported the bill and fourteen
opposed it.
The bill passed the House as
agreed upon by President Will
son and the party leaders. The
bill provides for a revision down.
ward as was declared would be
the case in the democratic plat
form in the last presidential
campaign.
Free wool and free sugar are
two Of the main measures of the
bill, sugar duty being reduced
Is per cent each year for three
years when the entire duty will
be removed.
President Wilson very early in
his administration said that those
articles which people wear and
eat should be reduced. The
manufacturers have so long en-
joyed special privileges under
republican tariff measure that a
strenuous fight was made to pre-
vent the democrats from keep
ing their pledges. The measure.
however. will pass the Senate
practically unchanged by the
first of August.
The Senators from Louisiana
will vote against the measure
and the bill will be passed by the
narrow margin of 2 votes. The
democrats hope to raise the de-
in revenue caused by the re-
duction of the tariff from the
income tax which will bring an
income of more than one hun
million dollars yearly. This
income tax will fall heaviest up
on that class who are more able
to support the government than
any other, but who have so con-
cealed their holdings of property
as to evade their share of govern
mental burdens. The farmer,
with the exception of the wool
grower and sugar planter, re-
ceived no protection, but on the
other hand they have been made
to pay exorbltant prices for
their clothing and farming imple-
ments which now bear the high
est duties imposed. This class
will be more directly benefited
than any other and will be re-
from those unjust burdens
they have borne in the
past.
