Young Mems Business League


On Monday evening theTupelo
Young Mems Business Club had
a rousing meeting at the YIN. C.
A. Auditorium to complete the
organization of the club.
President j. E. Rankin called
the meeting to order and Geo.
Maynard, Chairman Of the COM
mittee on Constitution and By
Laws read the constitution and
bylaws for the club, which after
a general discussion and few
changes was adopted.
The club then elected Stanley
Kinds I'd vice president and V.
S. Whitesides Sd vice president.
Who with j. E. Rankin, president
Clark Troy, 1st vice president,
and Frank Walton, Sec-Treas.,
will form the executive commit
tee of the club.
The President then called on
Mayor D. w. Robins, who in a
short enthuiastic talk told the
club that the biggest thing they
could do for Tupelo was to build
a modern and up-to-date hotel.
He also called attention to the
many things that Tupelo has al
ready done and far out rivaled all
her neighbors and told the club
to get busy, work together, and
keep at it and there was nothing
that could not be done here.
S. ]. High was then called up.
on, and spoke of the many ad-
vantages that Tupelo has, how
it had grown as cattle and hog
market, and told the club that to
start a trades day here for each
month would be another big
thing for Tupelo and vicinity.
Judge Anderson then advised
the club against false advertising
stating that Tupelo could we'll be
proud of what she had and need
not exaggerate our advantages to
attract people to our city. He
also advised against the club
bringing interests here that
would not be a safe and sound
investment for the people of
Tupelo.
R. B. Clark then spoke of the
many people that are coming
to Tupelo and stating that some
were leaving and not satisfied
here and that we should try and
make things in our city more
pleasant for the new comers
here.
Bob Reed was called on by the
club for speech and he laid
stress on the point that in taking
up subscriptions for the city that
all business men should be called
on and not just a few as here to-
fore. E. C. Watson then sug-
gested that the club get some

Verona lodge. The benevolent
teachings of Free Masony ap-
pealed strongly to him and his
everyday life was an exemplifi-
cation of the tenets of that order.
For many years Captain Thom-
as was the superintendent of the
Baptist Sunday school at Plant
ersville. and his work was al
ways with an earnest desire to
advance the cause Of christianity.
The old home of his father was
purchased by him and set aside
afterwards as a home for a
preacher of his denomination.
A few years ago. we are in

Captain Thomas could well be
termed the Father of the Com.
munity' in which he had so long
resided Everybody went to him
for advice and help. In sickness
and death he was the first to
minister to and sympathize with
the afflicted. In the hour of
death many times it fell to his
lot to officiate and it was always
with a beautiful tribute to the
life and character of the depart
ed. As a friend his loyalty was
nnquestioned. No evil word was
ever uttered about any man and
his life seemed to be lived above
of his fellowman. His
life was as free from envy and
the sordid affairs of this world
as any man we ever knew and in
our effort to pay tribute to his
memory we find ourselves unable
to do justice to the life of man
against whom no man ever ut
tered just criticism. We never
knew a better man, and since
our early boyhood it has been a |
pride to have him as an ardent
friend of the family of the
writer.

Captain Roman S. Thomas

| Died, at his home in Planters
vile, on Friday morning, jan
uary 26. Capt. Roman S. Thomas,
aged 76 years.
Thursday morning Captain
Thomas was suddenly stricken,
and his condition from the first
was serious. Within twenty
four hours the final summons
came. and surrounded by his sor-
rowing family and friends he
breathed his last. The announce
ment of Captain Thomas death
was received with universal res
gret.
Romans. Thomas was the son
of the late Rev. Joseph Thomas.
a Baptist minister of consider
able reputation. He was born
February I'd, 1841, in Itawamba
county, near Mattox Springs.
His early education was received
in the best schools of that day.
At the age of 10 years he joined
Company E, Forty-first Missis-
sippi Regiment as a private un-
der General Tucker. His SOL
dierly bearing brought him con-
spicuously to the front and he
was promoted through the vari-
Gus grades until he reached the
captaincy of his company. He
believed in the justice of the
cause of the Southern Confeder
acy. and that cause had no more
ardent supporter than he. In all
the battles in which his command
participated, and the command
was in practically all fought by
the Western army, he was con-
spicuous for his bravery and
daring. He surrendered with
his command in Greensboro, N.
G., when the war closed and re-
turned to his home.
Entering the mercantile busi-
ness at Richmond, he was sue
cessful and became one of the
largest real estate owners in the
county. During the reconstruc-
ton period he was a wise coun
sellor and did his share in ridding
this country Of the crowd that
mis-ruled and robbed it.
While his command was sta
toned in Tennessee, he joined
the Baptist church and ever
after was q loyal and devout
christian. His service to his
church. to his Master and to his
fellowman was always coDspicr- :
GUS for its ardor and fidelity.
There was no halfway ground
for him, but what he undertook
and what be professed he carried
out to the letter. He was q Ma
son Of high degree and that fra
ternity had no truer member. He
served many years as Worshipful
Master of'hls old lodge at Rich
