Mississippi Society to Meet in Lex
ington November 19.

The Mississippi Society for the pre-
vention of fires will hold its bi-monthly
meeting in Lexington on the third
Thursday in November, which is the
18th. 1t IL an organization Of special
agents and citizens designed to conduct
an educational campaign on the fire
waste of the country. There will be
addresses to the business men and to
the schools on the matters of rate max
ing, fire prevention, fire ordinances for
the towns and fire fighting. 1t is
desired to give the general public a
better idea of the difficulties of the
underwriters.
Preventable fires are largely respons-
ible for the hundreds of millions of fire
waste annually in this country, where
it is something like ten times as high
as in European countries. Fire losses
centrol the fire rates and only reduc-
tion in the losses will bring about re-
duced rates. Fire insurance as whole
has not been profitable for many years.
While some ably managed companies
have grown, hundreds have failed or
reinsured. Fire insurace is tax and
the society seeks to reduce the tax.

BEREAVEMENT.

To Mr.. and Mrs Lon McRae deep
sympathy Is extended them in the loss
Of their beloved baby daughter, little
Rebecca. There was no earthly skill
to keep her longer on Earth. 1t would
seem she paused so long within the
gates of Paradise that the call of the
angels outweighed all the longings and
love without its perfect portals. Pure
and unsullied were her fairy feet as
they turned within the Gardens, where
the daisy chains never fade; where
the skies are never shadowed and the
primroses never wilt meath the soft
ened September of the sunshine. 1t
seemed as if Autumn paused in its way
30 Summer roses could bloom and their
tender petals be her last coverlet.
And, the white innocence of her me-
mnry shall permeate the sad hours like
the perfume of hidden flowers as
though the alabaster vase Of Life still
held the sweetest flower of all the
flock. And toSyour lips Faith and Hope
shall hold the chalice to sweeetn the
bitterness of your draught and Time
shall throw his golden trellis over the
desolation Sorrow wrought.

OCTOBER.
BY MARGARET DILIINGHAM.

Close at hand the basket stood
With nuts from brown October's wood.
Whittier.
Suns grow meek and the meek suns
grow brief.
And the year smiles as ir draws near
its death.
The sweet calm sunshine of October,
now
Warns the low spot; upon its grassy
mould
The purple oak leaf falls; the birchen
bough
Drops its bright spoil like arrow heads
of gold Bryant.
Bending above the spicy woods which
blaze
Arch skies so blue they flash and hold
the sun
Immeasurably far; the waters run
Too slow, so freighted are the river
ways
With gold of elms and birches from
the forests maze.
