near Buena Vista, December Is,
1868 and departed this life April
7, 1920, making her at the time
Vt her demise sixty-one years,
three months and twenty three
days old. She was married to
Columbus benson Belk in 1878.
In 1885 with a family Of four
children they moved to Neshoba
County, Mississippi, and settled
near Dixon, where she lived the
remainder of her days. Here the
family tree grew until it's fruit.
age mum bered five boys and five
girls. She was permitted to see
all of them come to the years of
maturity and all married save
one. The living grand children
number thirty-one.
About the year 1910 she joined
the Hopewell Primitive Baptist
Church at Dixon. Its doctrines
and tenets she maintained as the
great foundation stones upon
which she erected the structure
of her christian life. She trusted
God absolutely for her salvation.
1t was gift of God conferred by
His own divine will upon her,
and nothing she did at ALL.
Glowing pretensions in all
walks If life were extremely OBJ
noxious to her. Many times was
she heard to express an utter dis
dain for such. The reaction from
such an element of life was seen
to bring out some of the finest
characteristics in her own living
Among the stars in the firma-
ment of her life there were none
that shone brighter than the
stars of simplicity, patience, 10y
atty and faithfulness Hers was
the routine of the humblest tasks
of life, but no soldier at the bat
ties front was ever known to
bear his burden more bravely.
During the last sixteen years
she bore the entire responsibility
of the homeife. And amid these
trying days she was seen to smile
when others would have almost
lost hope. She found much com
fort and consolation in the
thought expressed in the song
she loved so we'll: "The Gross Is
Not Greater Than His Grace
1t is not necessary to mention
the intense love she had for home
and children. She loved as only
a mother can. As q wife she was
most devoted and true, and to
friends she was faithful and
steadfast.
In her last moments loved ones
and friends did all they could to
relieve her suffering but God
loved her best and called His
child home. Along with the child
rem the writer sustains a great
loss in her death. Many times
he has gone to her home, and
always glad to go there The
memory of her is an inspiration
to help us to be brave under
heavy burdens.
May the love of God comfort
the sad hearts of her children
and help them to live such lives
that will enable them to meet
mother in a fairer cline than
this whore partings are unknown

A LETTER FROM DEMOCRAT S
FORMER EDITOR
Mr.. Ray Finds a Neshobian and
Writes About Orchards
In Oregon

When we read in the paper
here on Tuesday Of the storm
South and at Philadelphia, we
were in great suspense until we
could get further news, which
owing to distance was over a
week getting here. Our sympa-
thy goes out to the stricken COM
munity and to those who have
lost loved ones, friends and great
property loss, in what seems to
=: be one of the worst storms that
ever visited that section. Such
disturbances are becoming quite
too common in that section and
we believe a good storm cellar is
as necessary for part of the home
as it is in Kansas and other CEN
trail states, where every home is
not complete unless it has this
life protecting place.
This section is said to be en-
tirely immune from such disturb
ances. A storm or tornado is un-
heard of here, in fact thunder
and Tightening is rare thing
You may hear it thunder once or
twice in several months, in fact
we have heard it once in the
three months we have been here.
For it to thunder creates as much
comment as a snowstorm would
in New Orleans.
we have been bemoaning the
fact since coming here of our In
ability to find a Misslssippian but
we have at last found one or at
leastyhe found MS. He is not on;
ly q Mississippian, but Nesho-
bian and a former schoolmate OF
John McCauley, John Olliphant
and myself, when years ago we
were in school at Edinburg. !
refer to r. A. Phillips who was
reared 10 Neshoba and Leake
counties. He is first cousin OF
the wife of Fred Cole and a de-
scendent of the Henry family
who formerly lived near Waldo
in the western part of Neshoba
County. Phillips has been here
eight years, is doctor and from
what see of him | am sure he is
not only making good but is max
ing money. This world after all
is very small place and it is
hard to find place where you
not eventually see a familiar face
DR.. Phillips saw from the Garth
aginian where / was connected
with one of the daily papers here
and FROM that clue he easily
found US, otherwise we might
have been in a block of each 9th
er for years without knowing it.
Sunday was what is known as
blossom day in this section, an
annual feat when every one gets
inshis car, takes his lunch and
rides throughout the day looking
at the big orchards of cherries,
apples, prunes and other fruit
trees in full bloom. We give the
medal for beauty to the big cher
ry orchards and until one has
seen several acre cherry orchard
ia full white dress he has missed
one of the beautiful sights OF this
world, while the prune and apple
are close seconds. Apples here
are still selling for dollar per
bushel and OF very fine quality.
This is the home of pure apple
vinegar and good apple cider, the
kind you used to occasionally get
when you were boy. 1t is one
of the finest drinks Won can oat

Steel Supply still Short
The Iron Age points out that read
justmentS going on in other industries
have not yet been made manifest in the
steel industry and that the supply Of
steel still falls short of meeting the de-
mand. There is steady buying from the
railroads, and the leading steel inter.
ests, states that journal, have been can
vassing the question of railroad steel
prices for 1921. seeing that little on
such products on new orders could be
supplied for this year.
n sharp advance in the pig iron
market was the first effect of the freight
rate increase, circumstance depreci-
ated by the conservative element among
high iron producers, it is averred. Rail
road congestion has become somewhat
less acute. but improvement is the re.
suit rather of more efficient operation
than of more cars for loading. Mill
operations of the leading producers are
stated 20 be better, being 20 per cent
of normal.

there are no restrictions on charging
more than 9 per cent to corporate buy
