PASSES AWAY

DR.. Wiley T. Simpson, an aged
and very highly esteemed citizen of
Smithville, and one Of Lee county .
best known men died at his home
Friday. DR.. Simpson had long
been in declining health, and his
death was not unexpected.
, No man in Lee county was ever
held in higher esteem or loved
more by his fellow citizens than
DR.. Simpson, and his death is a
distinct loss to Lee county and his
town, and this section generally
DR.. Simpson was one Of Lee
county 5 pioneer citizens, and had
done more fer this section than
probably any other man, and de-
served the nameof Lee county s
first citizen. While he was not a
wealthy man. the work accom-
plished by him in all walks OF life
will stand as monument 70 his
name. The example he set is one
that we'll may be emulated BY all
classes of citizens young and old
rich and poor. All his yiriie and
high minded qualities combined to
make him a tremendous effective
factor in the affairs Of everyday
life.
He was about 70 years OF age,
and is survived by his vile and
one daughter, Miss Christine Simp-
son, and four sons, Henry, George,
Earnest aud Terrell Simpson.
THE Journal extends its most
respectful sympathy to those loved
ones af his immediate family he
leaves behind
Their sorrow and distress will be
tempered and relieved to some de-
gee, we trust, in their sure knows

community for the dead man.

Ex-Governor David R.

the following of newspapers:

ity in which it is located.
mo ether agency can or
will do this. The editor, in
proportion to his means, does
more for the town than any
ten men, and in fairness he
ought to be supported-not
because you like him or adj
mire his writings, but be-
cause the local paper is the
best investment a community
can make.
It may not be brilliantly
edited or crowded with
thought, but financially it is
of more benefit to the COM
munity than the preacher or
teacher.
Understand me, I do not
mean mentally, and yet on
moral questions you will find
most Of the papers on the
right side. Today the editor
Of the local papers do the
most for the least money of
any people or earth.
And any business man
or citizen who refuses to cup
port his local newspaper are
a drawback to their commune

around there were two grist mills,
one -four mill, one rice mill, one
saw mill and cotton gin, all ope-
rated or driven by the power furn-
ished by this great body OF water
creating for the owner, Mr.. New
kirk, a very profitable business.
! This mill pond was a grand
place for bathing in spring and
summer, and farmers and their
sons gathered here every Sunday
morning and evening and had q
great time swimming and swap
ping stories.
One Sunday morning we were
all there. / MAS a small boy, but
I was there with my brothers, just

And we all went.down to look.
safe enough there was a little
.bubble, not larger than your
thumb, coming through the
SHUTS" and it was muddy anc
murky. After looking at it but a
moment, Mr.. Newkirk pronounced
it nothing" And we went back
to our frolic on the dam.
About an hour later the same
negro came back, with, Bass,
DAT bubble am gittin' bigger s
And again we all went down to
look. And once again we pro
nounced it nothing"
ImtneJiately we all left and went
/ to our homes and the midday
meal.
Returning in the afternoon t
the mill we found that that little
bubble had grow to roaring
crushing stream Of muddy water.
Then it was that we realized that
the splendid property was threat
ened with destruction. We tore
out all the gates, knocked out
dash boards, (" opened the waste
way, with frantic haste, hoping te
let looie the mighty waters anc
save the mill. Soon the grounds
below the mill were roaring, his

floor to the end of the dam, be
