the blood of the Lamb.
Miss Gibson was born in Lau-
derdale county, Alabama, and
moved to Lee county, Mississippi,
when a child, where she lived
until her death, April Is, 1915.
She leaves two sisters, Mrs. Mary
Boston, of Texas, and Mrs, Bet
tie Jones, of Plantersville. She
made her home with the latter
and was very dearly devoted to
her.
Miss Gibson had been in bad
health for five or six years and
was confined to her bed four
months. At all times she bore
her affection without a murmur.

Lord.
Miss Gibson had been a mem

long as she was able, and after
she became afflicted, she would

Mrs. f. Nj. Sisk

Died, at her home in this city,
Mrs. F. M. Sisk, after an illness
of two months. The fatal malady
which attacked her failed to re-
spond to treatment and the pa
tient, realizing her condition,
calmly awaited the end.
Mrs. Sisk was the widow of
the late F. M. B. Sisk, who died
two years ago. She was a woman
whose character reflected all the
christian virtues and in the sa-
cred relationship of wife and
mother she filled in full measure
every duty to her family. She
was a true and devoted friend, a
lifelong member of the Presby-
terrain church, a devout christian.
Her passing away is an irrepara-
BILE loss to her family and host of
friends.
The funeral services were con-
Quoted from the residence We'd

P. Scott. Many friends gather
ed with floral offerings to be laid
upon the grave.
She leaves four daughters,
Mrs. R. 0. Smith, Misses Marcia

 The object which Socialists have in view is that this, the fin al transformation, should be made concioasly by an organized, educated, and intelligent people, 'ns cad of unconsciously, and therefore tempestuously, by groups of discontented, embitter- ed and ignorant workers.

 The fire of the Turks was rapid and so accurate that the fire from the all lied warships began to be cratic. One result was that the town of Chan ek-Ka1essi, behind Forts Kanidieh and ChemeneIik had. wide avenues cut through it, many buildings burst ing into flames.

Water street. He is up and about the hospital ward The most remarkable feature of this recovery is that the patient has two bullets in his body, both within small distance of a vi tai spot. One bullet reposes just below the wall of the brain and the other just outside the tissues of the heart in the left lung. At the hospital to- day it is said that unless relapse sets in he will be discharged next week Stares is held by the police under
