DEATH OF MISS EDNA BUCH-
ANAN.

Our town was made sad Tues
day morning when news CAME that
Miss Edna Buchanan, the lovely
and devoted daughter of Mr.. j. L.
Buchanan, had passed away.
Miss Edna had been engaged in
teaching at Fayette, and few
days ago was taken very suddenly
ill. The physicians at first
! thought she was suffering with
ptomaine poisoning, but later de-
cided that an operation for appen-
dicitis was necessary. She was
carried to the Baptist Hospital at
Jackson and the operation per-
formed. She grew worse grad
ually until Monday night, when
the end came.
In the death of Miss Edna we
fully and keenly realize our loss.
She was true friend, and her de-
votion to those she loved would
make a bright chapter in any life.
Nothing but the thought of the
loving hand that has removed her
can reconcile us to her absence.
While she has gone from the con-
flicts, the sorrows and pleasures
of life, she will still live in the
hearts of those who knew her
best. Her retiring nature led her
to hide her best qualities from
public gaze, but they were reveal
ed to those who enjoyed her ac-
quaintance, yet it was in her home
that her true worth was most con-
spicuous. She was . kind, loving
daughter, and her devotion to the
family circle had no limit. Her
future was full of promise, and
we dare not ask why she was Ia
ken from US in her prime, unless,
as flowers are picked before the
frost finds them that we may not
witness their decay. II is sad, In
deed, to see one so well equipped
for life taken 50 Unexpectedly, yet
for her there was no standing on
the border-land into the unknown,
for death came ~ The sunset dies

along the hills when the day Is
over. A life that imparts such
lessons is well worth living.
Her remains were brought to
Brandon Tuesday afternoon, and
after an impressive funeral SER
vice held at the Baptist church,
conducted by Dr.. M. O. Patterson,
her remains were gently borne to
the cemetery and laid to rest be-
side her mother, who preceded her
to the grave only a few short
years ago.

Fountain of Youth.

1t is not q myth, but a reality and
women may find it In perfect func-

grow old gracefully should guard
against all organic weakness and de-
engagements, and at the first symptom
of such conditions resort to Lydia E
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, ma

restore health. For three generations
women Of America have depended
upon this successful remedy and
have found no other medicine to

lowing recommendations by the adj
visory committee:
First. That voluntary organiza-
ton of loyal and patriotic citizens of

mote, foster, establish and maintain

during this great struggle for the
preservation of liberty, civilization
and the rights of humanity.

fires" may be kept burning with pat
riotic love and zeal.
Second. That all who may be in
hearty sympathy with the purposes of
such organization shall be cordially
invited to membership therein; the

against us" and aBy their fruits

ance be rendered to the legally consti-
tuted authority in the prevention OF
violation of the war measures and
regulations of the government, and
in the suppression by lawful means
| of anti-American and prof German
propaganda, action and speech. That
the policy of the organization be to
scrupulously avoid violence and dis
order, or anything that partakes
| thereof, in the execution of its loyal
and patriotic purposes.
Fourth. In order that the work
may be made most effective, and the
best results obtained, that the organi-
zation form branch for the loyal
colored citizens.
Fifth. That suitable committees
be appointed in the execution of the
purposes Of the organization, and
