W MILLS.

Dewey Mills was born in Marion
county, Alabama, on the 28th day of
April, 1898, and died in St. Joseph
Hospital in Memphis, Tenn. at S
o'clock, on the morning of the 18th
day of July, 1917, and was buried
at White Zion cemetery at II: 80
o'clock on Sunday morning.
Dewey was only nineteen yeyars
two months and nine days old. He
leaves a heart broken father and
mother, three brothers and one sis
ter and a host of friends and rela-
tives, and as an evidence of the es-
TEEN in which he was held was the
largest crowd, which in spite of the
threatening weather, gathered to pay
their last tribute of respect. In a
flower lined grave beneath many
beautiful flowers his body lies to
await the second coming of our Lord.
while his soul is now with Jesus, for
to his father he gave this comfort
ing assurance that he was going to
heaven and father and mother, Sis
ter and brothers this should indeed
be a great comfort to you in this
enforced earthly parting, and while
it is hard to give him up, you know
that all was done that medical skill
and love could do. "The darkest
cloud has a silver lining" and though
you may not now see it, Dewey was
taken for a purpose, and God grant
that his death may be the means of
bringing comrades to Jesus, for Dew
ey Mills was n of those happy
characters, who numbered his friends
by the number of his acquaintance.
The writer has never witnessed a
grief-stricken crowd of young
people that gathered for a last look
at a much loved comrade. To his
loved ones, especially, Papa and Ma
ma" he was ever devoted, often his
father was heard to remark: II don't
know what I'd do without Dewey"
His place can never be filled, but
God knows best, and let US look for
ward to the time when there will be
no sad partings. Yes
Faith beholds where he sits,
With Jesus clothed in white,
Our loss is his eternal gain,
He dwells in cloudness light"
A FRIEND.

BOB LOVE.

The subject of this sketch was
born September 26, 1874, died June
30,1917, and was reared near Sal
tillo, Miss. He was a loyal citizen, a
good husband, a loving father and
was loved by all who knew him. He
leaves a wife and three children, an
aged father and mother, brother and
sister and a host of friends to mourn
his departure. 1t was sad to give him
up; his death came so suddenly, but
such is life. We are warned to be
ready for we know not when death
will come. He had been in failing
health for several months but had i'm
proved and seemed in almost per-
feet health when the end came.
He was a member of the Methodist
church and was one of it's devoted
members. He will be missed not on
ly at his church but will be missed
every where and most of all at home.
Our sympathy sympathy goes out to
his family. May they ever look to
the One that doeth all things we'll,
One who will help them in time of
trouble, who has promised never
to, leave and forsake them. May
they ever press toward the mark for
the prize of the high calling of God
in Christ Jesus ever looking to Him,
the author and finisher of their
faith.
He was laid to rest in Spring Hill
cemetery, Brother Ward conducting
the last sad rites, where many friends
and loved ones gathered to pay their
last tribute Of respect. Many beau
tiful flowers were brought and laid
on the mound of clay that hid him
from our view. He is gone but not
forgotten, never will his memory
fade. Tender memories will lever
linger around the grave where he is
laid.
Yes, Dear Brother, you have left
us, left US, yes forevermore, but we
hope to meet you on that bright and
happy shore. Peaceful be thy silent
slumber, peaceful in thy grave so
low, thou no more will join u num-
Der, thou no more our sorrows know.
Yet again we hope to meet thee,
when the day of life is fed, and in
heaven with joy to greet thee, where
no farewell tears are shed.
ONE WHO LOVED HIM.

TARIFF CORNERSTONE

Kent of California, who will be eX-
congressman after March 4, is being
considered by the president for the
tariff commission. Kent is a liberal
tariff man and would be most use
full on that body. He has made a
deep study of tariffs, and while he is
like most liberals, a theoretical free
trader, he ends by being a minimum
tariff man or tariff for revenue only.
His voice on the tariff board weuld
be an enlightening one. It is pos

board, namely Ida Tarbel, Miss Tar

FIRE NEAR EBENEZER
Neighbors Save Whiteman
Dwelling

Newark firemen responded to
call from the home of Mrs. Jetfer-
son Whiteman, near Ebenezer
Church, last Saturday, when fire
was discovered in the dwelling
about thirty. The family had
been absent since one in the after
noon. Upon their return fire was
discovered in the sitting room,
caused, it is belieed, by a spark
from the stove. The floor in the
center of the room was burned and
the flames had spread to buffet
which was completely destroyed,
following the chimney to the kit
chen. The fire had evidently been
smoldering for hours, the absence
of all draft confining it to one
room.
The assistance of neighbors was
hastily sumoned and bucket brig
ade succeeded in extinguishing the
fire before the arrival of the loca
firemen. The loss is covered by in
