Mary Ruby Watson.

AS the beautiful Sabbath day
of September 3, 1916, drew to 9
close, the angel of death entered
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM.
Watson and claimed as his own
their youngest child, Mary Ruby.
She was born February IL,
1895, and at the age of IL united
with the Brandon Presbyterian
church. She was just blossom
ing into sweet young Womanhood
and to mortal eyes her life of
usefulness was but begun. How
ever, Gods thoughts are not as
our thoughts and her twenty
one years of service completed
the plan He had for her. From
early childhood she was devoted
to her church and all Of its inter-
ests. Nothing appealed to her
more. She was a regular attend
ant upon all the services of the
church, the Sunday-school, the
missionary society and the regu-
lar preaching services. Her reg
ularity and punctuality combined
with her great interest in the
work, made her an inspiration to
pastor, superintendent and teach
ers. All felt that she was one on
whom they could depend. Her
own physical discomforts were
not considered when a call OF
service came from her Savior.
With David she could we'll say,
II was glad when they said unto
me, Let us go up unto the house
of the Lord ,"
For more than year the
Father saw best to lay her on a
bed Of sickness, but no murmur
nor complaint escaped her lips.
She was ever thoughtful of those
around her, and strove to save
them from worry and trouble.
In her home she was a dutiful
and affectionate daughter, a COM
fort and JOY to brothers and Sis
ters. By nature she was endowed
with a sunny, winsome disposi-
ton and a spirit as guileless as a
little ohild's, SO that to those who
who knew her best she was in
deed a blessing.
Though she has entered into a
broader field of service in the
heavenly home, we shall feel the
influence of her life here on earth
for years to come. We thank
our Father for her life and pray
that others may come forward to
take up the work she has layed
down.
Blessed are the dead which
die in the Lord from henceforth.
Yea, saith the Spirit, that they
may rest from their labors and
their works do follow them. -
A FRIEND.

Madison County Protests Against
Tax Reduction.


The tax commission has been
busily engaged in working out
the equalization of assessments
between the several counties of
the state since the 10Th of April.
1t has been in session nearly all
of the time since the first of Sep
tember. All rolls should have
been filed with it by the first
Monday of September, but there
were about 20 rolls which were
not on file at the time, and the
last roll was filed last week.
This is the first time in the his
tory of the state that such equali-
zation has been attempted. and
it is a gigantic task to complete
the work in the proper form.
No two rolls have the same pro-
portion of value for any class Of
property; and the inequalities are
glaring. For instance, the aver
age value Of mules in Tishomin-
60 county is S103.97, while in
Hancock it is $45.55 in Bolivar
$50. 49, and in Lauderdale, $50.02.
The average value of automo-
bi1es in Adams county is $421.50;
in Coahoma county, $3.50. go; in
Bolivar county, $169.11; in Le-
fore county, $207. 80, and in
Kinds, $309.21.
The assessors and supervisors
cannot be paid until the state
tax commission has finally ap-
proved the rolls and the tax COL
lectors cannot begin collecting
taxes until this has been done,
so there has been great anxiety
among the county officials to have
an early approval of their rolls,
and the tax commission has been
besieged with requests for i'm
mediate approvals.
The Madison county board has
been very urgent about its ap-
proval. Assessments in this
county have been fixed at a high
valuation and it seems that the
board has done it's duty to the
best of it's ability, and the people
of that county are to be congrat-
ulated upon the earnestness and
fidelity of it's board and assess
ors in the performance of their
duty. The attorney for the board
was instructed to telephone the
tax commission urging it to make
a prompt approval of its roll;
| that it was in due form and the
valuations at the proper rate.
but being advised by the tax
commission that as it's valuations
were so much higher than other
counties, it. might be necessary
that some reduction be made. in
order to equalize it with others.
The board of supervisors entered
an order protesting against any
reduction.

How Catarrh Is Contracted.

Mothers are sometimes so
thoughtless as to neglect the
colds which their children con-
tract. The inflammation of the
mucus membrane, at first acute,
becomes chronic and the child
has chronic catarrh, a disease
that is seldom cured and that
may prove a life's burden. Many
persons who have this loathsome
disease will remember having
had frequent colds at the time it
was contracted. A little fore
thought, a bottle of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy judiciously
used, and all this trouble might
have been savoided. Obtainable

The Date of Thanksgiving
0From The Providence JonrnaL

tFTOW IHc Ifotidtncc JOsfhdL)
A movement is on foot to persuade Presi-
dent Wilson to proclaim Thursday, November
90, instead Of Thursday, the goth, as Thanks
giving Day.
The initiative comes from merchants who
think that if the later date is chosen the
Christmas shopping season will be too short.
On the other hand, it is suggested that 80
many persons wait till late in December,
anyway, 10 do their holiday purchasing that
it does not make much difference when
Thanksgiving comes.
Another suggestion has been made in the
past--that Thanksgiving be appointed for
Monday instead Of Thursday. so rs to give
us a long weekend holiday instead OF max
ing an nconvenient break in the middle Of
the week. There IL something to be said for
this proposal. II Monday, November q, were
selected by the President 1t would please a
large proportion of his fellow citizens.
However. Mr.. Wilson may not feel like
proclsiming any Thanksgiving Day this gear
unless he gets 1t done and over with bt.ore

From the Consumers Angle

For the fact that the milk strike il
patched up so that this city may again re
ceive its normal supply the community
must be grateful. But in the settlement
there is nothing else to be grateful for
The farmers have practically won what
they endeavored to get. They have OBJ
tanned their price, and contracts for siA
months at that price are to be signed by
the distributors. That means that the
producers have won all they wanted ex-
cept recognition of their union. The dis
trbuters, having avoided giving that, are
content to await the outcome of court pro-
ceedings to test the legality of the union
Meantime they will pay the raised prices
demanded by the producers and in due
time will pass them along to the con-
sumner.
Thus the consumer will have to pay for
the strike, and he will have to pay without
any knowledge whether the increased
prices are just and warranted. There is a
provision in the agreement between the
farmers and distributors for a committee
to Investigate the cost of production and
distribution. Farmers and distributors
viii be represented on that body, but there
will be no representative of the public.
Oficialdom has been singularly inactive
while the getting together of producers
and distributors has been in progress. The
Attorney Generals investigation admit
tedly intended to cover only the legal as
poets of the milk situation-has been the
merest farce. 1t has not really begun to
be anything.
The Wicks legislative committee has in
vestigated several phases of the milk bust
ness, but whatever knowledge it may have
accumulated was not at the disposal Of the
public. 1t is to make its report to the
next Legislature, which may or may not
find material in that report to warrant
remedial action of some sort. But the in
creased cost of milk to the distributors
will then have been passed along to the
public, and the public will be paying it
or going without milk.
1t is entirely possible that the farmers
deserve all they will get by this settle
ment and that the public ought to be made
to pay the increases. Yet there has been
so much loose talk, so many loose figures
produced, that the consumer here has be-
come mighty suspicious. He would like to
have some unbiased, impartial official,
with no profit coming out of the milk bust
ness and no political concern whether
farmers or distributors were affected by
the truth, authorized TO go into the cost Of
milk from the angle of the man who has to
pay for it.

the surrender of territory taken from
France in 1871. II Is extremely useful to
the Germans TO set ahoat the impression
that Germany hes offered or ia willing to
make peace on terms which the peace
party believes are fair and that the enc
mics of Germany will not accept such
terms. --.-....-
But the peace party is minority party,
and it is therefore necessary for the Ger
man government to keep its hold upon the
majority, which still demands that Ger
many derive some profit in territory and
influence for the losses Of the long war.
Thus the German government is COM
PEELED to ride two horses-to appear to
one faction to be willing to make peace on
its terms and to make no actual proposal
which would lead the other faction to
withdraw its support. ....
Within q short time we shall hear 1t
generally asserted in this country that
Germany has offered to make peace on
terms which are described in this Socialist
utterance. This is of course absurd. Ger
many has offered to make peace on the
basis of the map of Europe as it existed a
few months ago, when Bethmann Holweg
made his celebrated speech. This offer
stands, but it is the only offer that has
been made, and it is something quite diff
ferent from the Socialist suggestion Of
last week.
Germany is moving toward recogni-
ton that she has been beaten and cannot
hope to bring home any profit from her
great efforts. But she has not yet reached
the point of confessing this in any pro-
posal for peace embodying the suggestion
of return to 1914. Until such pro-
posal is made the situation is still condi-
toned on Bethmann-Hollwegs proposal of
last spring. Until this is withdrawn, un-
til some other proposal is put forward
with equal authority the Socialist declara-
ton is without point or meaning.
