BOND ISSUE ELECTION
People Of Tupelo Will Vote Next Saturday
to Determine Whether or Not we
Will Have New School Buildin

At the last meeting of the
board of mayor and aldermen an
election was ordered on Satur-
dav, May Oath to determine
whether or not the city of Tupelo
shall issue bonds to secure funds
with which to construct a new
school building. The need of
such an addition to our school
facilities is admitted by every
one and the voters of the city
should see to it that such a ma
jority is piled up that our bonds
will sell at the highest possible
price. Tupelo is now running
her school of 600 white children
in the same building that was
furnished twenty years ago for
a town of 1900 people. At that
time the house afforded ample
room for the children. Tupelo
has steadily grown and with
each session the demands for
more teachers and more room
grows and at this time our school
facilities fall far short of the
needs of the town. The pro-
posed new building can only be
built through a bond issue and
patrons of the school should see
to it that everybody turns out
and votes for the issuance of
bonds.

Stock Co., Closes
Two Weeks Stand.

The Lewis Stock Co.. which closed a
two weeks engagement in this city
last Saturday evening, was one of the
best shows of its kind that ever ex-
hibited in West Point under canvas.
The shows were all good, clean and
clever, the members of the cast were
far above the average of those usually
found with travelling organizations
of this kind. Mr.. and Mrs. Lewis
made many friends during the short
stay here among the theatre goers who
trust they will make good their promise
by filling a return engagement ere the
summer is gone.
Mr.. Burton Jourdaine, leading man
with the aggregation, is an actor of
ability, possessing those rare traits in
his make up which are absolutely es-
sential. and which made a favorite
with the local theatre goers. He is
a courteous gentleman OF splendid ad-
dress and has number of friends in
this city who wish him unlimited sue
cess in his chosen vocation. West

Neil Clark.

The announcement of the death
of Neil Clark at a hotel in Bir-
mingham was received here
Tuesday morning and was a
great shock to the family and
friends of the deceased. He left
here a week ago to accept po-
sition in Birmingham and was
apparently in the best of spirits
and interested in the prospects
of business ahead of him. The
announcement of his death came
as a complete surprise here.
Neil Clark was the only son
of the late John Clark, and Mrs.
Nettie Clark who survives him.
He was reared in Tupelo and
numbered every one here on his
list of friends. His untimely
death is deeply regretted.
The remains were brought
back and laid forest in Glenwood
cemetery.

DR.. T. T. BONNER
Died at His Home on Main Street Saturday
q Night-A Citizen of Tupelo for
twenty-five Years.

Died, at his home in this city
Saturday night, May 10th, at
eleven O'Clock, DR.. T. 7. Bonner
in the forty-ffth year of his
age.
DR.. Bonner had been confined
to the house for a week and his
condition was so improved, ap-
parently, that he was able to be
up and receive his many friends
who called to see him. On the
evening of his death he was on
the front verandah where quite
a number of ladies gathered to
see him and express to him the
hope that he would soon be well
again. At seven o'clock his
brother-in-law, Mr.. Mosely, and
wife, of West Point, arrived at
the house to spend the following
day with the family. With them
and the family he passed the
evening chatting in his usual
jovial mood until eleven O'Clock
when he retired to his room.
Lying on the side of the bed his
breathing attracted the attention
of Mrs. Bonner, and upon going
to his bedside she discovered
that he was breathing very deep
ly and she hastily called Mr..
Mosely, who found him in an
unconscious condition. DR.. Elkin
was Immediately summoned, but
life was practically extinct when
he arrived.
With the dawning of the bright
Sunday morning the word flew
over our town on the wings Of
the wind that DR.. Bonner was
dead. Wherever it touched it
left sorrow, and the expressions
Of sympathy and of personal
loss were many and from the
heart. His death comes as a
dark shadow to friends and rela-
tives who loved him dearly. For
twenty-five years he had prac-
ticed medicine in Tupelo and
vicinity, and during this quarter
of century won first place in
the hearts of our people. He was
our most useful and best beloved
citizens. There is hardly home
in all this section that he has
not visited, and his presence and
his presence and kindly minis
trations brought relief and happi-
ness. Always cheerful, he car
ried sunshine wherever he went.
He had always a smile and
kind word for everybody. 1t
was the writer's good fortune to
have known him since he first
came to Tupelo to live, and we
only knew him to esteem him
more highly as the years passed
by. If we were asked to name
the chief characteristic of our
dead friend we should say that
it was his broad sympathy-his
love for his fellow man. We
have never known a man whose
heart was so full of the milk of
human kindness. Distress and
suffering appealed to him and no
personal sacrifice was too great
for him to make to bring relief
to the afflicted. The demands
upon him were too great but he
disregarded his own health and
continued to answer the calls
that were wearing his life away.
There was no caste in his friend
ships and his practice suffering
alone appealed to him. The poor
est never appealed in vain for
his services, and without money
and without price he ministered
to them. He offered his life as
a sacrifice for his fellow man.
What more could a man give?
In his profession he was ad-
mired bv his brethren as few

knowledge of medicine was broad
and he applied the science with
a keen sense of his obligations
and with full knowledge of it's
effects and influences.
DR.. Bonner was a devout chris
tian and a consistent member of
the Baptist church. He recog-
nized in every way his depend
ence upon his Maker, and his
daily life attested that he closely
walked with Him.
I. T. Bonnor was born in West
Point. Miss, Aug. 10, 1867. He
was the son of the late John G.
and Sarah Bonner. He attended
the public schools of the city and
afterwards went to the Univer-
sity of Mississippi where he
graduated. He selected medi-
cine as his profession and was
graduated from some of the best
schools of the country before
entering upon the practice of his
profession.
On November 18th, 1891.
he was married to Miss Mollie
Troy. From this union eight
children have been born, all of
whom survice. In the home life
his greatest virtues shone. Ten
der and devoted he found his
greatest joy in adding to the sum
of the happiness of his devoted
wife and affectionate children.
In turn he was their idol, and
we'll did he deserve the lavish
love bestowed upon him by the
entire household.
At the hour of the funeral SER
vice, three O'Clock Monday after
noon, all business houses closed
and everybody went to the resi-
dence where the funeral was
conducted. The parlor and halls
of the residence failed to hold
/ the vast throng and the ample
yard was filled by devoted
friends. Along the streets were
lined many of his colored friends
who gave expression to deep and
lasting sorrow. Rev. Barksdale,
of the Baptist church, assisted
by Rev. Duren, of the Methodist
church, conducted the services,
Mr.. Barksdale paid a beautiful
tribute to the memory of the
deceased. The casket was cover
ed with most beautiful floral
designs loving hands had
wrought. The music rendered
was such as to soften all hearts
and molsten all eyes. At the
close of the services an unusually
long procession followed the
funeral car to our silent city.
At the open grave We say
farewell" " May Gods purest
angels guard his slumbers.
How sweet life was his; how sweet
a death;
Living to wing with mirth the merry
hours.
Or with his genial tales the heart to
cheer;
Dying. to leave a memory like the
heath
Of summer. full of sunshine and flow
ers,
A grief and gladness in the atmos-
phere."
Besides a devoted wife and
eight children he leaves one sis
ter, Mrs. Nelson, of West Point.
We can only remind these that
he is not dead, he is only asleep
resting after we'll spent life
here; he cannot, and would not
if he could, return to US; we can.
i if we will, go to him. Behind
the storm cloud always turks the
rainbow and when the storm is
past it weeps upon the flowers
of earth. Out Of the darkness
of night comes the sunshine and
JOY Of the day. And so from the
beauty of his life we can take an
inspiration and go forth to live
