by that grand woman, Mrs, Jen-

we'll deserved, for Aunt Jane
was a good woman, as free from
hypocrisy as any person | ever
saw, and having been bereft of
her mother at an early age made
her particularly fond of orphan
children. She was truly fortu,
nate in having sons in law who
cared for her just as if she had
been their own mother and made
her last days as pleasant and as
free from care as possible.
Louise wrote me she thought it
was so sad they had to bury Aunt
Jane when the snow Law on the

of our beloved relatives in the
dear old graveyard at Grand

and right that this snowy man
tie, newly woven by the fingers
of God, should rest upon his child
in her dreamless sleep, as en-
blem of the sweet white soul
which has gone to be with Him.
Mrs. Jennie Skinner has only
one equal in writing nice things
about her friends and that is
Miss Kate Markham Power of

no superior. Miss Jennie dips
her pen in her great big heart

Noxubee county, who has entered
the race for the honorable posi-
ton of Representative in the Low.
er House of the National Con-
gress, a most worthy and lauda-
BILE ambition. Judging from his
record as district attorney for this
Judicial District, being a hard
and painstaking worker and off,
cial, he will make a hard and dill
igent campaign upon the highest
plane possible, clean to every one
and one that no person or persons

anything that smacked Of unfair
ness in the least.
Mr.. Brooks is the present able
district attorney of this district
and is one of the ablest prosecut-
ing attorneys within the state,
which is conceded on all sides,
but fair and has given him much
prestige as a successful attorney.
His course in the honest and con-
scientious discharge Of his official
duties, has won for him the
love, respect and admiration
of the people generally through
out the district and here in this
county he has many, many very
warm friends and admirers who
will support him in his ambition.
He will have a strong following
here and we can truthfully assert
that the man who beats him will
60 to congress from this district.
Mr.. Brooks is a man of splendid
ability, popular and a gentleman
that knows most everybody with
in the district and most highly
esteemed by all.
