In Memory of Mrs. John Guy.

On Wednesday morning, Sept. 22nd,
the death angel visited the home of
Mr.. John Guy and called away his dear
wife to her bright and beaatiful home.
Mrs. Guy. formly Miss Matte Young,
was born in CLAY county in 1850, and
lived there until 1876, when she was
married to Mr.. John Guy. a prominent
citizen of Noxubee county. They then
came back TO Noxubee and made their
home,
My dear Aunt Matt possessed one OF
the most beautiful characters | have
eyer came in contact with. She was
never to busy to do a good deed. and
never too tired and weary to welcome
you with a bright and happy smile and
kind words. And, Oh, how we miss
her! and how our hearts pour out SYM
patty to the bereaved stricken family.
1t is so sad to think that such a happy
and devoted couple, as they were, to be

You must become reconciled and re
member that the:
Loveliest of lovely things are they.
On earth that soonest pass away,

such a dear sweet mother AID they a
loved her so dearly that the loss 10 al
most unbearable for them to stand.
When | think of the many sad hour
they spent in mourning her, it bring
to my mind these few lines that are 8
true, and which have such a full NEAR
ing:
Thousands of stars in the pretty sky.
Thousands of friends go passing by,
But there is only one mother.
Her neice,

Personality and Character,

Yes. there is a difference between
personality" and character" Per-
s~onality is the larger thing, and In
cludes character. BY personality Is
meant the mysterious entity going to
make up ones being, or nature. 1t Is
equivalent to self-consciousness or In
dividualized being, Character, OF the
3ther hand, strictly defined, means the
attributes Of the individual-as the
character" for intelligence, Judgment,
moral rectitude and so forth. In q
word, personality is more metaphysk
cal. character more ethical.

Commandments Governing the
Relations of the Public
With the Doctor

The medical society of Frank
fort has elaborated ten command
ments Or rules to govern the rela
tions of the public to the doctor.
These rules have been printed and
the doctors are asked to distribute
them among their patients and to
post them in their waiting rooms.
The rules are as follows:
/. DO net call the doctor unnec-
esSarily for trivial illness, and do
not wait too long in the case of
| serious illness or until the illness
has reached such a stage of severi.
ty that it is imperative to call the
doctor. Much valuable time may
be lost by delay in securing medi-
cal assistance.
2. If your condition permits,
consult the doctor during his of
flee hours and do not ask him to
come to you. Some examinations
can be made only in the doctors
Office, where certain instruments
which cannot easily be transport,
ed arc kept.
3. If you have decided that you
will call the doctor, inform him to
that effect before he leaves his
home to make his calls; that is,
before 9 o'clock in the morning.
J The doctor must lay his plans fol
the days work ahead of time. and
if you wish to assure yourself 0.
, an early visit, send in an early
call.
t.. DO not ask the doctor to cal
at a certain hour, but leave tn,
n time for making Il visit to him, i
your case is not urgent or not al
emergency case which demands al
immediate response to your call
The doctor is never master of hi
time, and it is very difficult to
A him to make u visit at q certair
time. The business man shout,
% not expect his doctor to time hi
call at the noon hour when tn
, former can leave his business an
p. be at home. If he cannot consul
= the doctor during office hours, h
should go home and remain ther
until the doctor can come to sc
u him.
:, 8. DO not ask the doctor to COR
r Immediately when it is not nece.
sary Such a visit, being an enc,
n gency visit, is combined wit
great Inconvenience and loss
much time, as it interferes wit
other work. At the same tim
