Hard Travelling on Mail Route.

Karl f. Maher, carrier on mail route
No. ., has had a difficult time since
the melting of the heavy SHOWS began.
Last week for three days he was ear
ried by horse and sleigh as far as the
Mabel Hall place. From that point
the snow was so deep and soft that it
was unsafe to drive farther and Mr..
Maher had to walk several miles and
was met by team in Townshend and
brought home. On Saturday and
Monday he made the trip in a two
wheeled vehicle, and went by carriage
for the first time Tuesday. 1t is safe
to say that he will be unable to make
the trip by automobile for some time

eff you ever get the blues" he said,
at is well to know the simplest and
best way TO get rid of them. Cranki-
ness, nervousness and general upset
condition preceding the blues usually
are due to the relentless grip Of con-
stipation on the nervous system. The
simplest way to meet this condition is
to have a box of Rexall Orderlies in
your pocket and the best way is to
take one when you feel the attack COM
ing on. 1t is the finest laxative for
men, women and children 1 know of,
and is a regular antidote for the blues
the best ever"
We have the exclusive selling rights for
this great laxative.

And So Is Every Other Soldier Said
Col. Harmon at Brotherhood Meeting.
Col. Thos. Harmon, veteran of the
Civil war and head of the soldiers
home here gave some interesting war
"reminiscences last evening before the
Brotherhood Of the Methodist church.
The occasion was the regular semi
monthly meeting of the Brotherhood.
About 50 members were present to
hear the Colonel's talk.
Col. Harmon participated in the bat
tie of Chambers Farm, one of the
toughest fights before Richmond,
when 1900 men were slain. He was in
the thick of the fighting and knows
something of what real war means.
The colonel was asked for a descrip-
tion of his sensations ON going into
action. The questioner wished to
know if the average soldier is badly
frightened an battle.
You bet we were frightened Col.
Harmon replied. $50 is every soldier
who comes face to face with the
enemy 5 guns Whenever I meet a
soldier who says he went into battle
without being scared out of his wits

MRS. ELIZABETH DoNLEY TERRY.

Died, at her home in Greenwood or
the night Of the 18th instant. Mrs. Eliza
beth Donley Terry, aged SO years. {
months and Is days. She was BORN in
Alabama, Oct. 14th. 1882. the eldest
daughter of Coli Eli Waites, and came
to Point Leflore. situated at the conf1u'
ence Of the T~allahatchie and Yallo.
bushs rivers. forming the Yazoo river,
in July, 1S47, which place at that time
was the rival shipping point of Williams
Landing, now Greenwood, and was
there married to DR.. Ben. T. Terry,
June 9TH, l84S. They moved to Green
wood, after Point Leflore was abandon
ed after one of the annual overf1ows
had rendered it untenable, and here DR..
Terry formed q partnership with DIR.
J. P. Henry, practicing their profess
sion together here and in the surround
ing country for some years, until Dr..
Terry acquired the old Burr place q
few miles north of Greenwood. to which
he moved his family. When the Fed
eral fleet of gunboats came through the
Yazoo Pass in the attempt to reach
V~icksburg by way of the Tallahatchie
and Yazoo rivers, DR.. and Mrs. Terry,
whose home was on this route, aban-
doned the same and went to live with
her father on Bear Greek on what is
now known as the Old Dominion plan
tation. Here DR.. Terry died. Dec.
24th. 1863, and from here Mrs. Terry,
with her two IONS, Waites and John,
moved back to her home on the Burr
place in 1872, and continued to reside
there until 1882, when her son, then
sheriff of the county, purchased and
fitted up for the family the present
homestead in Greenwood. After the
DEATH of Waites Terry, the family
moved to the country to the Spivey
plantation and there lived for some
years, until the death Of John Terry,
her remaining son, when, selling out
all OF their plantation property, Mrs.
Terry, her da~ughter-in-law, Mrs. Cora
Terry, widow of John Terry, with her
son. B. T. Terry, again came back to
their home in Greenwood. From this
brief sketch, it will be seer how init
mately the deceased was connected
with the leading events making the
history of the county, of which she
was by far the earliest resident, at the
time of death, and with one exception,
she was the oldest citizen of the coun-
ty. Her acquaintance was therefore
extended and her death deeply deplor-
ed, as evidenced by the large attend
nce at her funeral and the wealth of
floral tributes banked high over her
grave. An acquaintance covering a
period CT nearly forty years, enables
the writer of this poor tribute to testi-
fly that one will seldom find a person
more endowed with all the christian
charities, nor with a heart with less
guile than Grandma" Terry. Patient
under all the vicissitudes and trials of a
long and varied life, she was one who
ever cast the mantle of charity over
the faults of her fellowman and minis
tered with unfailing love to the distress
Of her friends. IA mother in Israel has
gone to her reward; why should we
mourn? c..
