DEATH CLAIMS DIR. J. T. EVANS
Loved Physician Passes Away Sunday
Morning After illness of Several
Weeks.

While not unexpected the community
was shocked and grieved by the news
OF the death of DR.. :. 4. Evans at his
home in this city Sunday morning at
O'Clock, after an illness of nearly
three weeks of pneumonia. He was
81 years of age.
Deceased was a native of Charleston,
Miss. After completing his medical
! education he practlced for several
years in North Mississippi, going from
there to st. Louis, where he practiced
for about ten years T:ie climate there
not agreeing with him he came to the
coast about seventeen years ago, loca-
ting in Pascagoula, where he continued
to practice his profession until his last
Illness
DR.. Evans was a gentleman of the
old school-kindly, generous and cour-
teous. He loved his profession and
never ceased to study, being recogniz-
ed as one of the best posted physicians
in South Mississippi. He enjoyed a
large practice, but because Of his
kindly and charitable disposition he
never succeeded in laying up much Of
the worlds goods. Many of our people
will miss his unfailing care and never
varying cheerfulness in the sick room
Time, weather, distance nor poverty
never conspired to deprive the needy
of his services. During the flu epidemic
last winter he went night and day in
response to the calls of the suffering,
not sparing himself in the least.
This in a measure contributed to his
own death, as he had never fully re-
gained his strength.
He was a member of the Masonic
fraternity and also member of the
Jackson County Medical Association.
The funeral services were held at his
late home Monday morning at 1890
o'clock, conducted by Rev. J. C. Watt
of the Presbyterian church at Moss
Point, of which church he was life
long member. Following the services
the body was escorted to the train by
a large number of his Masonic breth-
ern, the Medical Association, friends
and neighbors. The remains left on
No. 4 for Cornth, Miss, accompani-
ed by his son, Mr.. Reed Evans, sonin-
law, Mr.. J. r. SignIan. and Mr.. Oliver
b. Cole, representing the Masonic
lodge. He was buried at Corinth
Tuesday with Masonic honors.
Honorary pail bearers were DIR. J,
N. Rape Of Moss Point and Drs. w. r.
Kell, w. A. Cox, S. d. McIlwain, j. A.
Tabor and W. E. Sharp of this city Ac-
tive pail bearers were Messrs. McVea
Young, N. w. Alley, J. Higginbotham,
l.. F. Kramer, C. G. Scott and Capt. +.
l.. Clinton.
DR.. Evans is survived by his wife,
one son, Mr. Reed Evans of Lake
Charles, La, one daughter, Mrs. j. r.
Sigman, of Corinth, Miss, brother
E. Evans, of Mercedes, Texas, two
sisters, Mrs. j. ii. Bull of Elliot, Miss.
and Mrs. S. J. Boone, of st. Louis. Mo-,
and several grandchildren, all of whom
we're with him at the time of his death
except his two sisters.

SENIORS MAKE PRESENTATION

SENIORS MAKE PRESENTATION.
Last Friday morning staged a pleas
ant surprise In the auditorium of the
Central School, When pupils and in
structors filed in as usual for the
morning chapel exercises, they found
the curtain dropped. this OF itself
causing surprise and exciting specula-
ton as to what was being screened
from view. The curtain itself attract
ed the attention of all for while on
account Of it's pleasing appearance
with local advertisers names artisti-
cally arranged about it. Soon 1t rose
disclosing the members of the Glass
of '19, standing in group. Edward
Ellis was the spokesman for the class
and in a few well chosen words ex-
planned that other classes had waited
till the end of the session to leave
some memorial to the school, but the
present class had decided to do some
thing before the session ended. After
this explanation, small U. S. flag
was removed, presenting to view
case containing the five trophy cups
won by Pascagoula High School.
These cups having been without
suitable case since they had been won
Mr., Walker, superintendent OF
aohooIc In n hr;of occantance snpech
thanked the class for this gift and
complimented their good taste in select
ing something both useful and orna-
mental. He then gave the history OF
the trophies, as follows:
In 1916 at the Gulf Coast Field
Meet, held in Gulfport, the two cups
offered for literary and athletic events
were won by p. H. s.. clean sweep.
The same year, at Pascagoula, third
cup was won in the County Field Meet,
being offered by the County Teachers
Association, to be owned permanently
after winning two years in succession
The following year. 1917, at MOSS
Point, this cup was won second time'
giving title to P. H. S. In the same
year, 1917, two other cups were won'
one offered by the Mobile Y. M. c. A.
for winning a road race between Pas
cagoula and Mobile-the largest OF
all the trophies and representing the
efforts of twenty one runners in relay;
the other being the athletic cup offer
ed at the Gulf Coast Field Meet at
Gulfport, Moss Point, Pass Christian
Long Beach. This last makes totai
of five trophy cups won in three years
"a record of which any school may be
proud. And the Seniors of '19 deserve
hearty commentator for their gill;
both for its usefulness and for reViV-
ing interest in the story of achieVe-
ment of p. II. S. in connection WIN
winning the trophies.

STOKES v. ROBERTSON, STATE
REVENUE AGENT, SEEKS RE.
ELECTION 3,FVYss:

We print elsewhere the announce.
ment of Stokes v. Robertson, State
Revenue Agent, as a candidate to sue.
ceed himself for second term, and
take this method of inviting the at.
tention Of our readers to his candi.
dacy
Mr.. Robertson is now serving his
first term as State Revenue Agent, and
as such has been active and vigilant in
collecting taxes and auditing the affairs
of county officers, but at the same time
has been courteous and considerate to
all, and always careful to avoid any un.
necessary and vexatiOus litigation. He
has made good officer, and following
the good old Democratic custom of re.
warding an efficient and popular offic.
er with second term, he now comes be-
fore the people with his record speak
ing for such an Endorsement and re.
election.
Mr.. Robertson is man every way
deserving the support of the people,
being one of the people. He was born
on the piney woods farm of his father,
in COvington county, near old Williams
burg, in July 1881. He and the city of
Hattiesburg are the same age. When
both were three years old he moved to
Hattiesburg with his fathers family,
where he has resided continuously siuce,
He was educated in the public schools
of Hattiesburg, and finished at the
University of Mississippi, where he
graduated in 1905. Was married in
1907 to Miss Sudie Burt of Oxford. Mr..
Mr.. Robertson served in the legisla-
ture as representative from Forrest
county from 1908 to 1912. Was clerk
of the House of Representative from
1912 to 1916. Since 1916 has been
State Revenue Agent.
Such is a brief history Of the rise of
Stokes V. Robertson from grocery
clerk in his home city of Hattiesburg
to the office he now holds, to which he
seeks reelection. He is man worthy
your support no matter who may run
against him. He is good citizen, an
honorable man and an efficient officer.
A member of the Presbyterian church,
in fact a deacon; an Odd Fellow, a
Woodman and a Pythian, these are
ample evidences of his moral standing
in the community where he has practi-
cally spent his whole life.
