Died, at his home near Gun
town, Miss, February 8. 1913.
Stephen Dennison Smith, in
his 10th year.
He was born in hurry County.
Tennessee, June q, 1884. When
he was about five years OF age
his parents moved to Mississippi
and settled on the section OF
land on which he has lived and
died.
He was a Confederate Veter-
an, and no Drawer soldier ever
fought in defense of his country.
He enlisted in the army at the
beginning of the war-was Or
derby Sergeant of Company +,
End Mississippi Regiment. Was
severely wounded Fin the battle
of Sharpsburg; was captured at
Gettysburg, remained a prisoner
at Fl. Delaware till the close of
the war.
He was married twice. His
first wife was Miss Sue Hum
phreys. To them was born two
children, David E. Smith and
Mrs. jamie Norton. In 1881 he
married Miss Corinne Norton,
who survives him. To them
were born five children, Lillian,
Ethel (deceased), Mrs. Laura
Bryson, Lurline and Charlie.
He was a stranger to physical
fear, yet he was always kind
and gentle. Something of his
character as a soldier may be
learned from the following:
When his regiment, surrounded
in a railroad cut at Gettysburg.
surrendered, a Federal soldier
rushed to the brink of the cut
and seized the Confederate colors.
S. D. Smith, who had vowed he
would never surrender with a
loaded gun in his hands, showed
his musket against the flag-grab-
Der and shot him dead. This
incident is related in the U. S.
archives of the Civil War; but it
is Incorrectly stated therein that
the Confederate was in turn kill
ed by a Federal. Of his Compa
ny, Co. E, there are but a few OF
the old boys that survive him,
whose names are as follows: R.
E. Lesley, Vardaman, Miss, W.
H. Keys, Saltillo, Miss, S. B.
Scott, Baldwin, Miss, W. X.
Weems, Baldwin. Miss, Sam
Hawkins, Meridian, Miss, Pate
Bailey, Ingram, Texas, j. +.
Weems, Guntown, Miss.
He was a CONSTANT member
of the Methodist Church. Hon
est and truthful, his word was
his bond. He did his duty as he
saw it. In disposition he was
peaceable and retiring, quiet,
honorable, charitable and duti,
full. He lived out nearly the
f~our-score years allotted to him;
then obeyed with fearless calm
the call to meet those beyond
the stars waiting for him. Peace
be to his ashes and rest to his
soul. Xxx

BUCK FEVER

Did you ever have the Buck
Fever? If you did you know sum-

1t is simply orful, but so far as

1t attacks anyone and the attacks
come at the most inopportune time
"a time when any other kind of

Spring fever, hay fever or even
the ravishing yellow fever pales
into insignifcance in comparison

may appear, the disease is far more
dangerous to the innocent by
stander than it is to the victim.

This is the time when the whole
nation gives thanks for the bless
ings of the year. Thanksgiving
Day was first established in the
United States by the Pilgrims at
Plymouth, New England, replacing
Christmas, the great family festival,
and has been gradually adopted in
other parts of the country. Con-
gress recommended days of, thanks
giving annually during the
Revolution and Washington, in
1879, after the adoption of the
constitution. Other days of
national thanksgiving have been
proclaimed, and since 1868 the last
Thursday in November has been
annually proclaimed by the presi-
dent as a national Thanksgiving
Day.

Steel Corporation Opposes Reduction

Gradual decline in demand for
iron and steel pro ducts is causing
very decided reductions in working
forces, especially in eastern and
Pittsburgh dist. lets, says the Iron
Trade Review. At Pittsburgh,
men are being laid off by hundreds.
1t is understood that one large in
dependent company added 1000 to
the idle list, while another has let
out 900 men. On the ore ranges,
the mining forces are also being
reduced, and in some cases this is
being done to greater extent than
ever before at this time of the year.
Reduction of wages of working
men is being considered at num-
erous plants, but except in the case
of the wages of puddlers, which
are adjusted according to a BIZ
monthly settlement, no reductions
are reported. 1t is understood
that the Steel Corporation is very
much opposed to any reduction of
wages and will not make any at its
plants. The settlement of repre-
sentatives of the Amalgamated AS
ISOLATION and the Western Bar Iron
Association has resulted in the re-
duction of the wages for puddlers to
500 a ton for boiling during
November and December, a reduc-
ton of 90 cents, compared with the
rate of the four preceding months.
The average realized price of bar
iron declined s. ton for Septem-
Der and October, as comprred with
the two preceding months, the de-
cline being the greatest in a num-
Der of years.

ADVERTISING

GINGER" is the right name for
the tingling stuff found in the Du
luth trade journal that answers to
it, SAYS the Duluth News Tribune.
1t has its own peculiar way of
saying things, and quite uniformly
arouses in the reader that respon
sive assent that finds emphasis in
exclamation points.
In the current number there are
some remarks on advertising that
actually echo. They remind the
newspaper familiar with that article
known as the standing ad,"
which tells the anxious reader that
the grocer deals in groceries, both
fancy and unornamental, that the
clothier has clothing for sale and
the druggist supplies drugs.
Frequently these conveyors of
startling information will announce
the arrival of spring drygoods and
this same ad" will stand" in
the same place in the fall, unable,
apparently, to sit down or fall off.
Yet, weak as it is, some dealer pays
for it, expecting it to draw trade.
1t is such business men, save the
mark, who, paying for such ira
vesties and calling them advertis-
ing, say IS per cent of the money
spent for advertising is wasted"
1t is this remark that moved the re-
belling soul of Ginger" to open
a full case.
If ever" it says, there was
widowed platitude that needed
consignment to the garbage can, it
is this old, bewhiskered thing about
the enormous waste in ADVERTISING
Advertising may not yet have
been reduced to an exact science,
but it has progressed to such a
stage that it stands fairly on its
own feet today. Advertising has
suffered for a multitude of crimes
done in its name.

line in answer to the summons
and complaint filed in the case of
Joseph Weed against Jacob Lampi
for $3.50 dollars for the death of
the horse has caused considerable
trouble.
After much thought Judge Cant
of the district court ordered the
sentence stricken from the answer.
Now that the answer has been cor
rected the case will be tried at
Virginia at the December term of
court. Judge Cant ruled that the
sentence was sham and irrele-
want
Weed claims Lamp was the
owner of two lots in the village of
Fall Lake and was excavating for
building May 27, 1918. On the
evening of May 27 Weeds horse
fell into the basement and was kill
ed.
The plaintiff AYERS the basement
was unprotected and that Lampi
had not obtained a permit from the
village council to excavate for his
building. Lampi claims that the
horse was running at large against
the wishes of the councilmen and
in violation of one of the village
ordinances and should have been
a resident of the village pound.

This town had to be started

town, but it needs just as much.
The pioneers thought this was
good place for a town. Let's
make it a poor place for knock
ers.
The easiest way to make
things right at Washington is to
begin by making things right at
home.

difference between this town and
all other towns. This town is
where you live.

may never come" This day is

this town.
