willing to accord merit to others. He
was rnagnanimous and brave, but new
er aggressive; ever needing, Beware
of entrance to quarrel, but, being in,
bear't that the opposed may beware of
thee. He bore no malice; he was not
envious. The writer has no knowledge
of his ever having litigation
With The example of his splendid
father, and the memory of his gentle
mother, he realized "'Tis only noble
| to be good" He loved his fellow man.
One of his boyhood friends in letter
of coincidence, said, "The best friend
ever had in this troublesome old world
is gone." that their friendship "Ex-
tended from the cradle to the grave. and
beyond" for he firmly believed they
would see each other again.
Although reared in affluent circum-
stances, the writer has never known
any one who bore the vicissitudes of
adverse fortune with more heroism.
He had held various positions in the
county, serving with efficiency and I'M
mitigated fidelity, and at the time of
his death was in the employ of the Oil
Mill, which position he had held for
years.
He became member of the Baptist
church in 1883. To do right was his
paramount desire. In conversation
with the writer in very recent years,
he said, 81 do the best can, and trust
the Lord" concluding with an express
sion of the hope of salvation.
To him, death was not unexpected,

he remarked TO sister, II am nearly
dead" and in reply to the inquiry of
that sister Wednesday at ten in the
evening, as to how he felt, said that
he suffered with a violent headache;
ut with that supreme courage which
inspired one more effort, he was at his
post when stricken with paralysis at
ten-thirty. He was carried to the home
of his sister. Mrs. Cockrell, where low
ing hands ministered to him.
The writer reached him on Thursday
morning, and when appraised of her
presence. he gave her hand a hearty
shake, followed by several affectionate
clasps, assuring her that he was con-
scious. She was sitting by him Friday
afternoon, and performed the last thing
for his relief. Death laid his hand upon
him, gently, as harpist lays his hand
upon the instrument TO deaden its vi

brations. She was reconciled. and
the feeling she had was sweet love.
She gazed at the manly form, cold in
death, impressed with its magnificent
propositions.
The funeral service at the Cockrell
home conducted by Mr.. Purser of the
Baptist church, assisted by DR.. Jones
of the Presbyterian church, was beau
tiful and impressive, the former re-
marking how many had come to him
and said, What a good man Mr.. Ivy

of My Soul" Loving relatives and
friends covered the casket with beauti-
full flowers and followed it to the Odd
Fellows cemetery, where it rests be-
side many dear ones to await the resur-
rection.
Besides son, Jesse c. Ivy. and a
grandson, he leaves three sister, Mrs.
j. E. Hibbler, Mrs. L. 1. Yates and
Mrs. Wood Cockrell, to miss and mourn
him.
When Martha mourned Lazarus
dead, Jesus said unto her: II am the

IN MEMORIAM.

The writer's pen is dipped in tears
while recalling the death and events ir
the life of one of Noxubee's noblest
sons.
Jesse Churchill Ivy was born in Nox-
ubee county on the thirteenth day Of
February, 1856, and passed away in
Macon, March 26. 1915. His parents,
Byrd and Caroline Ivy moved to Macon
in 1856. He was reared, married, and
barring intervals of few months
spent his three score years in the coun-
ty of his birth, where he was 80 well
and SO favorably known that it is doubt
ful il person can be found who will
deny the nobility Of purpose which char
acterized his life.
Jesse received his education in Ma
con and Columbus, Miss. where he was
pupil of Thad G. Belcher's school,
and Howard College.
He was married in March, 1884, to

Yuan Shi-kai is attempting to abol-
ish the practice Of discharging an
entire staff Of officials and clerks
whenever q new minister comes into

made when a new administration
comes into power but, whenever a

Shi-kai says; I'VE have now given
orders to the bureau concerned to
revive various laws in connection
with the examination and appoint

should draw up regulations relating
to the period for promotion and
transfer, so that officials may re-
main long in their offices and re-
spect their responsibility. Thus in
triguos will be done away with. The
method seems to be slow but it is
steady and will in course of time
bring about great results. We have
