DEATH OF MRS. !. :. Buaxf.

Thursday night, between eight
and nine O'Clock, the soul of Mrs.
J. F. Burke left its tenement Of clay
for the unknown world, and her re-
mains were inferred yesterday in
the city cemetery at Natchez
Mrs. Burke had been . sufferer
from heart trouble for some time,
and physicians warned her # her
condition, as she was a woman Of
indomitable energy. She took the
advice given, but during the past
few days exerted herself consider
ably in the settlement of business
matters, and to this probably her
death was due.
There was no one with her at the
time; her little daughter, niece and
step-son, Glover, having gone to the
picture show, and her little son was
asleep.
On their return home thoy could
make no one hear and it Was Some
little time before little Jesse could
be aroused to let them in.
Her death was then discovered,
she having evidently passed away
while asleep.
Beside the two children, Hattie
and Jesse, she leaves ster-son. Mr..
Glover Burke, and other relatives
and friends. to all of whom the
Sentinel extends most sincere con-
dolences.-Concordia Sentinel.
Mrs. Burke before marriage was
Miss Josie Favors, the youngest
daughter of Mark Favors, one of
the early settlers in this town. She
was born and raised in St. Joseph,
where she has IA brother, George
Favors, and to him and her little
children the Gazette extends SYM
patty. Her husband preceded her
to the grave about two years ago.

To the Live Stock Owners of the State:
Past experience has taught that best
results are obtained when animals are
vaccinated against Charlton early i'm the
spring so as to allow about 80 days in
which TO secure protection before the sea.
son approaches when Charlton infection
usually develops.
The State Live Stock Sanitary Board
strongly urges, therefore, that, in those
sections OF the State in which Charlton
infection has been known to exist i'm pre-.
vious years, vaccination of animals should
be commenced not later than March LIST.
That is, the first dose, of double dose
vaccine, should be given at that time.
If stock owners will give this matter
their careful attention, it will increase
the number of protected animals at the
beginning of the Charlton season, and
materially limit the spread of the disease,
should the coming summer prove favor
able to the development Of Charlton in
lection.

as a man he could win some good
woman of a higher social scale. de-
spite the fact that he had gathered
the blossom he coveted a while before.
And the little girl who loved too
much could do little but take what
was given her until one night the two
were arrested and the next day were
brought into the morals court. And
in the morals court fear was in the
heart of the man. A conviction on
such a charge meant disgrace, so he
offered, apparently in good faith, to
marry the girl and with this under
standing there was no finding against
him. The judge Of the morals court
performed the ceremony. The man
had purchased his freedom.
Outside of the courtroom he told
the girl just what that bargain meant
nothing. He told her he could not
support her and she must keep on
working as a maid. She says he told
her she was not his social equal and
he would sell out his practice and go
away rather than publicly acknOwl-
edge her. That was in March and he
never lived with her a day as her hUs-
band.
Yesterday he stood in the court of
domestic relations, where a social
worker had decreed he should be sent
that he might be forced to at least
provide for the girl, and in that court,
after he had said he would not live
with the girl, his lawyer proposed this
arrangement:
The girl should keep on working
for Sc week and her board and if
she sometime needed money she
could call up her husband and he
would give her not to exceed SIS.

was just the human one of loving too

Five years ago a girl Of Is came to

and she was not illiterate- she
was full of desire to acquire knowl-

She secured a position in a house

on, educating herself meanwhile
modest little girl valuing above all
things her good name.
Then she met the man in the story.
He is of that profession supposed to
be so full Of tender sympathy toward
mankind, a physician. When he met
the little girl she was a paTlOr maid.
but he raised no question of social
equality then. She was sweet and
pretty and modest andl desirable,
and, despite the fact that. he now
feels above her, he quite willingly
called her his equal then and very
ardently wooed her until she loved
him too much.
