of her brother, r. F. Robertson.
Mrs. Smith had been pa
tient, sufferer for a number OF
years from an incurable malady,
the last six months of her life
being spent on the sick bed. Her
suferings were borne with chris
tian fortitude and death was a
sweet relief from her sufferings.
Mrs. Mollie Smith was the
daughter of the late Sam Rob-
ertson, former sheriff of Lee
county. She was married to
Will Smith, of Jackson, Tenn,
where the family resided many
years. Several years ago she re-
turned to Tupelo and has made

an elevator in Tupelo for the

Mrs. Margaret Scott Newell, has
by her many graces of character
won the esteem and friendship
of a large circle of acquaintances,
while the groom occupies a prom

the commercial and social world,
and their popularity was plainly
evidenced by the large assem-
blage gathered at the church to
witness their marriage.
The church was beautifully
decorated with ferns. Shastah

What is perhaps just as human a
phase of the governors daily routine,
or ordeal, you might better call it, is
the appeal of the ever faithful for
positions which they believe are al
ways available. There are about TO-
600 places in the state service, and a
great many people believe that the
incoming governor has a right to fill
every one Of them. If this We're the
case, am quite sure that no governor
could possibly live through the ap-
pointment of the third thousand. The
state service, however, like that of any
other big corporation, is so systema-
tized that it could i'll afford to disturb
the detailed makeup of any one of it's
important departments:

Martin H. Glynn, in the New York
Worldly
do not intend to discuss here my
record in the gubernatorial office. Nor
do l desire to convey the impression
that the executive chamber during the
last fifteen months has been any
buster than it has been at any time
during the last fifteen years. 1t is
and has been and will continue to be
hard job, a job full of a type of
mental anxiety few men experience in
any other line of public or private
activity.
Politicians of whatever party can be
handled more easily and with less
anxiety to any governor than two
thirds of the routine Of the executive
chamber which has no part at all in
the political game.
The appeal of mother or a sister
or brother to save victim from
the electric chair gives the governor
more actual mental anxiety than all
of the combined requests or demands
of all the politicians of all parties. 1t
is the most trying of all the many
burdens placed upon the governors
shoulders. 81.

My most painful experience in that
line was in the case of the "gunmen''

remember the delegations of rabbits
which came to see me on the very
eve of the deaths to beg me to save
the lives Of the unfortunates.
These rabbits, good, honest, earnest
men, crowded ME into a corner and
