TRIBUTE TO MR.. w. J.. PARkEi
OF GRAYSPORT.

Judge A. w. Evans, Mrs. l.. E.
Evans and son, John T. Parker, have
returned from G%raysport, Miss,
where they went to attend the funeral
of Mr.. w. J.. Parker, a friend OF
long standing of Judge Evans. The
following tribute to the deceased
who was well known in Greenwood
and Leflore County, was written by
Judge Evans:
The subject of this notice died at
his home in Graysport, Grenadc
County, April 49,, 1919, after a linger.
illness of several months. He was
70 years old. He came to Graysport
about SO years ago and started in a
small business. Through persona.
energy and devotion to business, h
had within a few years built up one
of the largest mercantile businesses
in~Graysport. He had a branch bus
mess at Holcomb, Miss, and at one
time a store in Arkansas.
Forty years ago he wooed and won
the hand of Miss Lula Mays, q
daughter of the lamented DIR. L. N
Mays, a prominent physician Of
Graysport. Before the nuptial knot
was tied, he built, a home for his
bride and in this home they have
lived since that time. Here two sons
and five daughters were born anc
reared to manhood and womanhood
In this home he breathed his last
leaving a widow, seven children, al
grown, and a host OF relatives and
friends to MOURN his loss. His de-
mise was the first shadow of death
that entered the happy home.
The writer of this tribute hac
known him for over fifty years, dur
ing which time he was a loyal and
rue friend. AS the clods fell on his
bier, l found in each an answering
echo of regret in my heart. He was
an afi%ectionate husband and father
and a good friend. Peace be to his
ashes.
IT'S hard to take the burden up,
When those we loved are dead,
They frightened all the joys Of life
They softened every frown,
But, 0, tbs good to think of them,
When we are troubled sore,
Thanks be to God that such have lived
Although they are no more.

Revival Meeting
Grows In Interest

Dr.. Wicker preached last night tc
an Overlooking congregation. His
subject vas "The March of God" The
great audience was profoundly i'm.
pressed and moved by his earnest ano
thrilling message. In a remarkably
in structive, condensed and compre.
hensive review of the Bible, he traced
Gods course through the centuries
and with great power he pointed out
the results which have always follow
ed when individuals, nations and gen
erations have rebelled against the
will and government of God.
Everyone felt that it was a won
derful message from one to whom God
and his providence are very real. II
was all the more significant because
of this great epoch of the world. Sc
many nations are so plainly suffering
the judgment Of God.
At the close OF the meeting last
night, DIR. Wicker asked all the mer
of the Baptist church, who felt a rea.
interest in the meeting and were will.
ing to do what they could to help in
the work, to come forward and to re
main for a short conference. A large
number responded. He then asked
the men of other churches to come
and many complied. In a very effec.
tive and impressive way, he appealed
to this large body of men to throw
themselves into the effort to reach
and bring the men of Greenwood tt
Christ and they heartily promised tt
do this.
The meeting tonight will open at
o'clock. Two meetings tomorrow, Sat
urday at 10 a. M. and 8 p. m. Thres
meetings Sunday at II a.. M, 8 p. m
and 8 p. m. The public is invited t.
all of these meetings.

l.preme court says that with the excep
| tion of two feet on the west side Nj
