Mrs. Minnie Ewing Blakeman.

On the morning Of Oct. l6, 1914,
surrounded by loved ones and friends,
the spirit Of Minnie Ewing Brakeman
left this earth for heaven.
Everything that kind and loving
hands could do had been done 20 pro-
long her life, but the Lord claimed
her for His own. When she realized
that the end was near, her first re-
quest was for two Of her favorite
songs, "Just as am" and "The Home
Over There" then prayer at her bed
side, though she had no fear Of death.
AS she bade her loved ones and
friends goodbye, her parting exhor-
tation was to trust Jesus for saliva
tion, and meet her in heaven. She
said she was leaving much undone
but was faithful TO the end, sending
out for many in the community to
give them a parting word, and begging
each one to get right with God.
To know her was to love her, and
her life had been one Of love anC
service for others, ever ready to helT
those in need in every walk Of life.
Her influence will never die, for she
was always abounding in the work Of
the Lord"
How we will miss her in our com
munity, but her home is bereft in
deed. She was at one time District
Secretary for w. H. M. S., Jackson
District, and organized and presided
over two Auxiliaries in her own com
munity, where she made an ideal lead
er. Inasmuch as God in his providenc,
has called from our midst our below
ed sister, Be it resolved,
1. That we as members Of W. M. S
hold in love and. appreciation hel
memory as wife, mother, friends ant
sister in Christ.
2. That we tender to the husband
infant babe, and other members O
the family our love and deepest sym
pathy in their great bereavement.
3. That a copy Of these resolution
be spread on the minutes Of our W. M
S. and also a copy Of this paper b.
sent to the family.

Yazo0 County Fair.

The display which the Yazoo Com
mercial Club with the assistance OF
Mr.. w. r. Ritch is making certainly
a success in every way and il shows up
for the time and trouble which was
devoted in getting the things together
and arranging them so that they
could be seen in a most attractive way.
There are shown all kinds OF farm
products which are grown in Yazoo
county. Cotton is shown in a way
that a child could learn the different
stages through which it has to pass
before it is the finished product.
Stalks of cotton are shown that have
been cultivated by the Govemmcn.
method and that which was not, show.
ing the contrast so plainly that he
who runs may read and see how i'm
portan, Mr. Ritch is to this county.
Mr.. Ben Goldstein has shown his
interest by preparing skins which were
taken from animals which were trap
ped in this county. The hides are dress
ed with the fur and tastily made into
rugs which are not only pretty to
look at, but make handsome and use
full rugs.
The cotton exhibit is the work of
the Producers Cotton Oil Mill and it
completeness and attractiveness is won
derful.
Yarn from the Yazoo Mills, Work
in Manual Training from Yazoo High
School, fruit and vegetables, corn,
oats, molasses of all kinds, fill their
allotted places.
Many handsome and beautiful ami
mails Of all grades and sizes are en-
tered. The quality Of stock which is
here shows that the farmers Of Yazoo
County have not made a mistake bv
turning their attention to stock rails

Mr.. w. X. Jones, who is the gov
emment reporter on ginning Of cot
ton, has received word from the de-
partmetn Of commerce that his report
was correct, and showed that 1919
bales Of cotton had been ginned in
Yazoo County this year, up TO Oct.
18th, as against 9.714 bales to the
same period last year. Were there a
market for cotton Yazoo County would
be in a prosperous condition. But we
believe that with cotton being declar-
ed not to be contraband Of war, and
that it can be freely shipped to the
warning nations, there will soon be a
general marketing movement for the
staple. Especially do we believe that
this will be the case as soon as the
cotton exchanges Of New York, Now
Orleans and Liverpool are opened on
Nov 10th. At that time sew
eral hundred millions Of money will
be put In circulation through the roy
ional reserve banks. That will surely
help matters great deal.

Mr.. Quesney Dibrelle Gibbs depart
ed this life last Friday afternoon at
his home in this city. He was attend
ed in his last illness by his devoted
wife and son, 20. D. junior" His death
was not q surprise, for he had been i'll

physicians had not held out hope of
his recovery.
Mr.. Gibbs was typical osutherner,
born and reared in the south. He was
educated, cultured and accomplished.
He chose the profession of law, but
had devoted part of his time to journ-
alism. He was of a happy genial tenn
permanent, and was one of the most en-
gaging and agreeable men whom we
have ever known. He was generous,
kind hearted and affable. An affec-
tionate husband, he was also an in
dulgent father. The grieving wife and
son have the sympathy of large cir
Gle of friends here, where they have
lived nearly two years.
The funeral occurred Saturday af-

CANTON VS.. BENTON AGGIEs
Canton Boys Defeated by Heavier BeT
ton Agies rs TO IL. s.,

Last Thursday afternoon the Can
ton High School foot ball team met
the Benton Agricultural High School
team at Benton. The play was fast
and furious on both sides, but the
Aggies had the best of the argument
from the start. They outweighed the
Canton boys by about nine pounds to
the man, but they did not have a
walkaway at that
Several individuals on both teams
played star foot ball, but owing to
the loss of the writer's note book
their names cannot be given. Both
teams gave an excellent exhibition of
foot ball and the game was marked
by the clean tactics and the team
work Of both teams.

the Agricultural High School, coach

School coached the Canton team.
Neither need any introduction to va

Death Of Mr.. Sam Young.

Monday night after long and pain
ful illness Mr.. Sam Young died at
his home on East street.
Mr.. Young was born and reared in
this county, and when young man
he was happily married TO Miss Zoet-
Ia Mangham Of this city.
In early life he learned the iron
moulders business and this he followed
till his health gave away.
For several years he was in the
employ Of the late Mr.. j. F. Powell,
his task being the overhauling and
keeping in repair all the implements
which we're used on his many planta-
tions. His time was so taken up that
he was compelled to be away from
home most Of the time, so he took his
family to the country with him. But
as his children grew and he saw that
they could not get the advantage Of
school in the country he sent his fam
lily back TO the city and in a few short
months his wife was called suddenly
away from her earthly treasures to
a home in Heaven, one Of the chill
dren going in and found her silent in
death with babe Of few weeks in
her arms. Mr.. Young again moved
his little flock OF motherless children
to the country, where he remained
until he saw that the time had come
when he would not be with his children
long, so he came back to the city that
his last days could be spent with all
Of his children around him. Mr.. Sam
Young, Jr., being the oldest Of fami-
ly Of eight, he took his fathers place
as near as possible, and provided
being ever solicitous that his father
have every comfort and that the chill
dren did not want for anything.
Mr.. Young in his line Of work ex-
celled and as a citizen he filled well
his part as father, affectionate and
kind.
The funeral was from the home on
East Street Tuesday evening at three
o'clock, Rev. M. c. Wick, Of the Bap-
tist Church, officiating, after which he
was buried besides his beloved wife
to sleep the long sleep and awake in
a fairer land,
To the six sons and two daughters
who are left orphans indeed, the deep
est and mbost heartfelt sympathy Of
he Herald is theirs.

Death Claims a Bright and Promising
Young Man.

Young Man.
We were brought face TO face with
the uncertainties Of life Wednesday
evening when it became known that
Mr.. Ed Miller had died suddenly "in
the twinkllng Of an eye" at the home
Of Mrs. Strong, in Bentonia. Mr.. Mil
Ter had been operated upon just two
weeks ago and the doctors thought
that he was out Of danger, seemingly
there was no cause for any serious
trouble. Mr.. Millel came to this coun-
ty about a year ago from his home in
Fayette, Mo-, and purchased the DIR.
Luse place and part Of the Nolen
place near Bentonia, his idea being to
gradually turn them into stock
farm.
Being quiet, modest and possessed
of a genial whole-souled high-toneS
nature, he soon won the esteem AID
confidence of the people Of the coun-
ty. His business ability was clearly
shown in the way he planned and exc
cuted the work which had to be done
that he might make his farm the
model stock farm Of the south. Just
as he was beginning to see the results
of his labor he was stricken with what
seemingly was only trivial trouble
which no one thought would be any
thing serious.
The one Characteristic Of this bright
and promising young mans life that
kindled a flame of love in the hearts
of all who knew him, was his tender
loving devotion and thoughtfulness for
his invalid mother, who he left in the
old home.
Mr.. Miller was not only faithful
honest and tue in the small things OF
life, SO was he in the larger field. The
very picture Of health and manliness
with natural endowments which be-
token great things for the future
yet on the very threshold of life he
was snatched away. "In the midst OF
life we are in death" is a true saying
God moves in a mysterious way His
wonders to perform; often our hearts
are bruised and broken, but through
it all we must keep our faith ant
humbly say: "The Lord Gave and tfA
Look has taken away, Blessed be the
name Of the Lord"
Wednesday morning the sad jour
ney began of taking the body Of thii
fine young fellow back to his home
and mother, the scene in that home il
too sacred for words, but let US hope
that the presence Of the Great Physi
clan was near to comfort those, wht
are bereft. Who knows but he wal
near Thompson says this Of the
SPIRIT 2
"No, cannot speak a word; I shall
hearken what you say,
And be often with you, when yor
think that am far away"

Death of Mrs. VIM. r. Miles.
One by one the roses fall"


In the passing away of Mrs. Mary
R. Miles we lose one who was a true
type Of the grand danes of the old
South. She was the beloved daughter
of wealthy and aristocratic parents,
Col. and Mrs. J. ]. B. White. With
genuinely blue blood coursing through
her veins, naturally endowed with a
mind Of unusual brilliancy and talent
far beyond the average woman, and
having the advantage Of the best
schools that money could provide, she
became one Of the most accomplished
women in Mississippi.
In 1870 she was married to Gen.
VIM. R. Miles and they went to their
hplantation home where they spent
thirty years in an unbroken stretch
of pleasure, and JOY There they enter
tanned their friends at pleasure in
their well appointed home where an
air of refinement prevailed and the
old aristocratic usages were adhered
to of open handed hospitality that was
the custom in this Southland when ev-
cry plantation home was a kingdom
to itself. Their wonderful success
in farming was the result of her train
ed and studious observation and the
adoption of modern and scientific
methods in their large planting inter
ests.
Mrs. Miles was conservative and
safe business woman, never pessimistiC
or optimistic except when actual con-
ditions warranted. She was friend
to justice, a champion of the oppress-
ed and an enemy of all shams. AS a
woman she was charitable to a fault
quick to excuse the frailties of others
and ever loyal and true friend. Her
energy was untiring, her ambitions
high, her aspirations lofty, her will
inflexible with decided individuality
proud-spirited, independent in word
and act, always having the courage
of her convictions, she often express
ed herself With no fear Of consequent
ces.
After the death of Gen. Miles in
December, 1899, Mrs. Miles gave ur
her country home and came back to
the scenes of her youth, which were
hallowed by so many pleasant and
happy memories, that she might find
consolation in her bereavement by re-
newing her old friendships. Alas, hel
soul was so closely knit with that OF
her husband that in the midst Of
friends and pleasures, surrounded by
every comfort that wealth could pro-
vide, she was still alone. Although she
met every trial and obstacle in life
bravely and fearlessly, she could new
er be reconciled to the taking of hel
life companion who had been all in all
to her throughout those thirty years
In 1904 she went to New Orleans
where she spent most of her winters
and in summer she travelled, visiting
all the places of interest on this con.
tinent and across the waters.
Mrs. Miles was meek and lowly ir
spirit and felt the great responsibility
of being intrusted with the steward
ship of a large estate which Coo
in his mercy had given her. Knowing
that she would have a strict account
TO give, she exercised wisdom anC
prudence in the spending of her in
come and eonscientiously gave to tht
Lord His tenth, through the differen
institutions which were under the di
rections of those of the Catholic faith

Mr.. ]. +. Duncan Again Loses Heavily
by Fire.

Friday night it is supposed that
some one slipped around and set fire
to the barn on the Beech Grove plan
tation which is being worked under the
management of Mr.. ]. E. Duncan and
is the property of Mr., o. w. Baldwin.
This is twice that Mr.. Duncan has
suffered heavy loss from fire this
year, which makes it quite severe as
he only had small insurance. There
was about thirty bSles of cotton be-
sides many of the farm implements,
and feed stuff which were entirely de-
stroyed.
