In Memoriam.

Mrs. Margaret Humphreys was born
in Hardeman county, Tennessee. more
than four score years ago, she having
reached the old age of eighty-four
years and eight months when death
claimed her. When iyoung she pro-
fessed faith in Christ and joined the
Methodist Episcopal Church South. In
early life she was happily married to
William Humphreys of Fayette county,
and came to his home, where she con-
tinuously resided till all her children
were grown. She then spent some
years in the village of Williston, but
the last years of her life her home was
in Somerville with her only living
daughter, Mrs. Phillip Thurman.
Mrs. Humphreys lived quiet, happy
life in her county home, faithfully
ministering to the needs of her grow
ing family till the dark clouds of war
Ger spread our land, and in the early
sixties her husband shouldered arms
and went to fight for what he consid-
cred just cause.
This left the mother with four little
sons and two daughters alone on the
farm with the slaves. Fortunately,
in those trying times were found many
faithful old uncles and aunties who
would do and endure anything for
"Massa's and Missus' +" sake, and such
a one was found on the farm of Mrs.
Humphreys. Thus she lived fighting
life's battle till "a, when her husband
came home sick, fingered few days
and died. Her faith in God. who doeth
all things well. sustained her in those
trying times. When the fifth son came
to her home she unfalteringly pressed
onward. The war was over; the recon-
struction period was at hand: the coun-
try was devastated. Her boys took
hold of pillow and hoe and with her
encouragement faced life's battles like
little heroes.
With smooth, even. quiet tempera-
ment she embodied the spirit which "sutI-
ereth long and is kind. Her consecrat-
ed. transparent, beautiful life was
known and felt by kindred and friends.
She was true in all the relations Of
life; her devotion TO her children was
almost perfect. Soloman well states

Henry Roberts case was argued last
week before the supreme court at Jack
son, the side of the state being argued
by Attorney-General of the State
Thompson and the side Of Roberts by
Hon. C. A. Millar of Bolivar. When
the prisoner was arraigned before the
supreme court for the hearing Of his
case he was accompanied by his wife
and DR.. j. E. Parks VINO had gone up
from here to be with him. Hon. C. A.
Stainback who assisted the prosecution
in the Roberts trial in the criminal
court here and Sheriff j. t. Jordan
were also present at the hearing before
the higher court. 1t is expected that
the decision will be handed down on
Saturday Of this week and those who
should be posted as to the law in the
case confidently expect the supreme
court to affirm the decision of Judge
Everett's court.

and the price goes down. Cotton is
around ten cents per pound now, but
how was it when the farmer had some
to sell? There is every prospect that
when the new crop of cotton is placed
on the market the price will be put
down just as has been done with wheat.
But the farmer in this country who
raises enough wheat to make -four for
his family, enough corn for all farm
purposes. enough hogs to supply meat
and lard for his family and those who
work his lands, enough molasses, vege-
tables, chickens, eggs, milk and butter
for home use, this man will care little
about the market price of wheat and
corn and cotton, for he will rarely fail
to get fair price for whatever surplus
he may have Of any one of these, for
he will be independent of the supply
nan and can hold that surplus until
prices are good.

how she was regarded by her family:
"Her children rise up and call her
blessed" She was good neighbor
and especially kind to the sick and
needy. No day was too cold, no night
too dark for her to lend helping hand
to a sick friend.
She loved her church and was glad
Of the privilege Of attending services
in the Lords house. The last few
years of her life she was greatly af-
flicted, yet the same cheerful smile,
the consideration of others, that had
been a characteristic through life. con-
tinued to the end. She was the kind
of material out of which martyrs are
made, her trust in the Father enabled
her to endure trials and hardships as a
good soldier. without nurmurings.
The spirit peacefully passed away on
the 25th of May, 1915. On the follow
ing day, surrounded by her living chill
dren, grandchildren aid friends. with
services conducted By Rev r p Duck
worth, her remains were laid away at
Shady Grove church beneath flower
covered mound, by the side Of her hus-
band, who had gone on before more
than fifty years ago.
The browning glory of perfect day
is its matchless sunset. The browning
glory of well spent life is the soft
music of eventide; then heaven is
nearer IN truth, not seemingly. when
the Father reaches out his hand and
lovingly whispers, my child, it is
enough. Come up higher"

BE FAIR TO THE GIRL,

In Boston. last week, young girl
killed herself because of malicious re-
ports circulated attacking her charac-
ter.
The girl was honest. She was un-
fortunate in not being popular. She
was supersensitive and alone in the
world.
Unfriendly tongues began to wag,
Ugly reports were put in circulation.
The helpless victim could not trace
them to their source. She found it
useless to attempt to put an end to the
unfriendly stories. To deny them she
found it did no good,
Worried, harassed and respondent,
she decided to end it all, and did so.
"How large portion of chastity is
sent out of the world by distant hints, "
wrote Sterne, nodded away and
winked into suspicion by the envy of
those who are past all temptation of it
themselves. How often does the repu-
tation of helpless creature bleed by
report which propagating it, beholds
withpity and is sorry for it and hopes
it may not be true, but in the meantime
gives it her pass that at least, it may
have fair play in the world, to be be-
lieved or not according to the charity
of those into whose hands it shall happen
to fall"
If there is person to whom you feel
dislike that is the very person of
whom you should never speak. 1t is
an easy matter to blast a character.
1t is a difficult matter to restore sgOod
name once besmirched with scandal.
Women are given to careless criticism
of those they do not like. An innocent
girl once talked about finds that her
path thru life is not strewn with roses.
More than one good woman has been
driven into evil ways because of the
mountaineering tongues.
The serious feature of it is that the
victim is usually the last one to hear
the malicious reports in circulation.
She notices a certain reserve of those
who she has looked upon as friends,
without knowing just why.
Scandal breeds hatred Hatred breeds
contempt and brings ruin.
A cruel story runs on wheels and
every hand oils the wheels as they run.
The victim Of scandal in Boston is to
be pittied. She hssent the moral
strength to fight her battle alone and
she had no one to help her.
Those responsible for her fatal act
should feel their guilt AT any rate it
should serve as warning to others
who carlessly or maliciously destroy
the character Of those about them. Be
fair to the girl - COMMERCIAL APPEAL /

This county is harvesting now one of
the largest crops of oats and wheat that
it has ever had. The yield is not
thought to be large in either grain, but
most farmers are satisfied with the
crop and confidently believe that both
will prove profitable. In some parts
of the county all small grain has been
injured by rust and smut. particularly
the latter, but even with this damage
the crop is said to be fair and will make
more profit than six cent cotton. And
the beauty of raising these crops is
that they come in at time when other
feeds carried thru the winter have about
given out and when all farm stock are
rushed with work and to do the best
work they must be well fed. The
Falcon wants to see still more Fsyette
