THOMAS N. KIRBY.

On March IL, 1915, this noble man
and most highly esteemed citizen died
at his home in Greenwood, Mississippi,
after an illness of several months, dur
ing which time everything that the
most skillful medical attendants, and
a faithful and devoted wife could do to
restore him to health was unsparingly
and unselfishly done for him.
The deceased was born in Carroll
county, Mississippi, June 19, 1861, and
was married to Miss Cora Allen, of
Greenwood, Mississippi, August IL.
1896.
From this happy union eight children
were born, but two of these died in
infancy, leaving the beloved wife and
six children to our their sad and
irreparable loss.
The deceased was an affectionate
husband and father, whose life was un-
selfishly and Loyalty devoted to the
comfort and happiness of his family.
He was a man of the noblest type,
and a perfect gentleman in the very
truest sense.
1t was my privilege to be in his
home often, and to see the beautiful
family affection, and to know the de-
ceased in his true character, and I un-
hesitatingly say that l knew a
man of nobler impulses and of finer
traits of character.
He was loved and honored by all who
knew him because of these high ideals
and splendid qualities of mind and
heart.
The deceased was also a faithful ano
loyal member of the Missionary Baptist
church. 1t was my privilege and my
pleasure to be his pastor for six OF
seven years, and during this time ]
found him always in perfect accord ane
sympathy with everything that per
tanned to the interest of his church,
and he was always ready and willing
to respond to the many calls for help
which he did cheerfully and literally
for the love and pleasure he always
seemed to manifest in all of his acts OF
kindness.
To the %sorrowing loved ones, let m.
say that your grief should not be thu
grief of despair, for though the voic.
that spoke only words of love is nov
silent, and the familiar footstep upol
the threshold of the home will be heart
no more, yet, the memory of his love
and the thought of his noble life of I'm
selfish service for his loved ones, an,
for his friends should be a sweet sourc'
of consolation to you in this, your sa,
bereavement. May these precious
memories be an inspiration to you tina
will cheer and help you in the darl
hours of your loneliness.
Remember that while the strong arm
upon which you have leaned for com
fort and support through the brie
happy years of the past can sustain n
longer, yet, there is n upon whom
you can depend in every hour of you
need. l commend you to this lovin,
friend, my Saviour and your Saviour
who will never leave you nor forsak
you.
This little tribute IS written as
token of love and friendship, by on
who knew and loved the deceased as
, true and faithful friend.

In . meeting of the Board Of Direc-
tors, It was decided that the Communi-
ty 7. NJ G. A. would not carry out the
annual event, The Summer Camp, this
year. Instead all energies and funds
will be concentrated on the school
grounds for the benefit Of the whole
community. A playground like in the
larger cities will be established, where
the parents may send their children
knowing that they will be well taken
care of, and also come themselves and
enjoy the program of activities from
time to time. 1t is the present plan to
open the playground from A o'clock in
he evening, when things begin to cool
off. until $50 at night. OF course the
grounds will be well lit up at night, so
that Playground ball and many other
games may be INDUCED in. A compe-
tent lady assistant will be engaged to
direct the activities of the girls and IN
opening day and a closing exhibition
will be a part of the program.

 A body or Lithunian landowners had had trouble with thclr seris. They peuuoned the czar to frame some measure that would adjust the relations of noble and peasant Their intention was to get law passed giy. ing them even more power over their serfs. Alexander asked if other land lords did not care to join in the peti- tion. From all over Russia came as- sent
