County Superintendent Hodges

stand at the back of the enterprise
planned for the coming spring and
insure its success While it was a
great undertaking and really an
imposition on the two or three
men, who have heretofore borne
the whole burden. a larger number
can easily bear the risk of financial
loss in this matter that means SO
much to our town and county.

HAD BURIED $2,595.OO
Large Sum Of Money Taken From
Pike County Farm Where it
Had Been Buried.

Quite an interesting story comes
to this Office from the old Hodges
homestead twelve miles northeast
OF McComb. This old place was
built nearly hundred years ago,
and several generations of the
Hodges family lived on the place
during this nearly hundred years
OF time. The place was occupied
and owned by Mrs. M. j. McDavid
and son McDavid at the time of
rs destruction by FIRE the 18th of
September of the present year,
AMI a short time after the fire the
following note was found in an old
pot under the ruins The pot
showed indications of being buried
in the ground under the house for
years, and when foupd was empty
with the exception of the note.
The man whose name is attached to
the note committed suicide by
shooting himself number of years
ago The note follows:

here about our principal, Prof

that Mr.. Sessions is something
more than school teacher. We
dropped in by his home the other
day while he was feeding his hogs,
and we counted six of the incest
porkers we have seen in a long
time. They were in something
like two acre goober patch. Mr..
Sessions said he would let them
run on those plnders a month or
six weeks longer; after hen he in
tended to put them on corn for ten
days. and we believe at a small cal
culation the hogs will dress him a
thousand pounds of meat. Mr.
Sessions says that he bought the
hogs last spring and paid one dol
lar each for them; they had been
no expense to him and very little
trouble We also found out that
he had made and gathered some
thing like one hundred and twenty
barrels of corn. five barrels of pin

farm raised items. All this was
done by him self. save sixty cents

Tribute by the W. M. S. In Memory
of Mrs. W. r. Parsons.

God, in His infinite wisdom anc
mercy, has permitted the departure
of one of our number. who for si1
years was our Leader and always
our devoted, loyal and sincere CO.
laborer and friend.
We know that Earth Is poorer
and Heaven richer because of her
going. Mortal life has for each
one of US deeper meaning and a
weight of responsibility hitherto
unknown. since her busy hands are
quiet. her great heart still, and the
kindly, generous deeds she did are
waiting now for US to do without
her.
Because of the conservation, the
persistent steadfastness and unfiag-
ging zeal in the Cause that was
life and breath to-our sister, Mrs.
W. F Parsons. we here record
our estimate of her worth and work
in words that are poor indeed, but
that are our only conveyance of the
loving thought we hold of her 1.-The
memory that we cherish. and that
shall be perennial among US.
We tender for the Woman's Mis-
sionary Society of the Baptist
Church, to the bereaved of Mrs.
Parsons household, abiding sym
pathy in the loss they have sustain
ed. With gratitude to her God for
the life she lived and that was
ours to share while, we commend
them in the separation that
has come, to Him who like as q
Father pitieth and like as a Mother
comforteth, since their beloved
parents have both now passed
