MRS. W. R. RUSH.
TNee SARAH RoUNsAvILLE RUSH.

After lingering illness OF several
weeks, Mrs. W. r. Rush nee Sarah
Rounsaville Rush, DIED, on Monday
night March %. 1920, at about 8
o'clock at the home of her neice, Mrs.
Robt. Moody, daughter of Llsh
Courtney, across the line into Ala
bama few mics from the Upper
East Side in Greene County, Miss,
where she had her home and had
spent the major portion of her life.
She developed kidney trouble
about a couple OF years ago. and it
has gradually grown worse, drifting
of late into a dropslcal trouble which
finally carried her out. She spent
eight weeks at the home of her only
surviving brother, Oscar K. Rouns-
awhile in Leakesvlle. Miss, and they
did all they could to relieve her suf-
ferings. Just few DAYS ago she
begged to be allowed to go back
across the river and was carried to
her neice's, Mrs. Moody. She was
buried Wednesday at the Adamsville
graveyard in the East Side where
are laid others OF her people.
The deceased would have been SO
years old this coming fall and was
the last surviving sister of the Roun-
savilles. being preceded to the grave
by three sisters, viz: Mr. ]. E. Clark s
first wife; Mr.. ]. ]. McInnis, Decd
Sr. IS second wife and Mrs. Lish
Courtney. Her brother, Elias Roun-
savile also died few years ago, he
being the father of her nephews, Lee
Eugene and Willie Rounsaville and
her neice, Mrs. j. t. Thomas nee
Ina Rounsaville. Her husband also
survives her.
From what we can learn Mrs, Rush
was patient sufferer and bore her
Affections which were indeed sore,
with. christian graces to the end.

ANNIE ELIZABETH DIoKERsoN.

On March 10, 1920, death claimed
for its victim Annie Elizabeth Dick
erson, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Joel
Dickerson.. God only spared this
dear one to live with US IA years. Z
months and 3 days.
Annie leaves to mourn her death,
a father. mother. one brother and
one sister and host of relatives and
friends. 1t was hard to give our
loved one up, but it was God s will.
A loved one from us has gone.
A voice we love is stilled,
A place is vacant in that home. I.
Which never can be filed.
Like flower Annie passed away.
Destroyed in all her bloom;
Waking in bright cline,
She finds DO death or gloom.
Again we hope to meet thee,
When the days OF life have fed,
And in Heaven with joy to greet thee
Where no farewell tears are shed.
Dearest loved one we have laid thee
In the peaceful graves embrace
But thy memory shall be cherished
Till we see thy heavenly face.
Haavan now rataine oIlr treaeura
Earth the lonely casket keeps
And the sunbeams long to linger,
Where our loving sister sleeps.
She was laid to rest on March IL,
1920, at the Adams graveyard at
Rock Creek.

OBITUARY
AGNES oNErHA BEARD.

The death angel visited the home
OF Mr.. and Mrs. T. w. Beard Sun
day February %. 1920. at 3 o'clock
p. Nj. and claimed for its victim
their little daughter, Agnes Onetha
Beard.
She was born May Is, 1903. this
making her II years, 9 months and
20 DAYS old.
Onetha leaves to mourn her loss,
father, mother, three brothers, five
sisters and host of relatives and
friends.
1t seemed as fiat was more than
we could bear to give her up, for she
was SO devoted to US, and always
had smile for everybody.
We cannot understand why God
took her from this world just as life
was so sweet to her, 'but He knows
best and His will, not ours muse be
done.
Let us weep not for she is sweetly
sleeping, but prepare to meet her
when we are called around Gods
throne to live with her forevermore.
Onetha is gone, oh, how we miss
her. since she left our dear home.
Ills so sad to be without her in this
dark cold world.
She awaits US over yonder,
On that bright and shining shore.
Where we hope some day to meet her
When our work on earth is DER,
Where .here'll be no more parting
And no weeping will be known.
There will be as one great family,
Round the Fathers throne.
Written by her Cousin,
STELLA M. BEARD.

CIRCULATION. We are going to
tell what has to some been running
may be as secret for months. That
is that the Herald subscription list
has been a boomingl We say this
nov so that those who advance that
old WORKOUT argument to batter the
newspaper publisher down on legiti-
mate price for supervisors publish
ing of proceedings, may not think
that our large list is due to the fact
that we are publishing the Supervis-
ors Proceedings for balance OF this
year. The inflow of subscriptions
has been steady for months and
months In fact the abortive effort
in summer OF 1918. when some so lost
their balance over senatorial poll
tics-as to try to strangle our list of
subscriptions by bovcott-but proved
a boomerang in our favor causing
careless ones to be punctual about
paying up and Others to come to us
who had not before. We make ref
erence to this with no disposition to
u'luulN SUI OO WdbCISa OuU tOI bUt
purposes of more fully presenting a
truthful statement of how we stand
on this proposition of CIRCULATION
and the weights both at the post-of-
fee aud from our ready-print house,
will bear out the statement. Pub
fishing Supervisors Proceedings NAV
help out some on circulation but we
, have tried it before and found that
it does not enough TO cut any figure
on price OF such work In fact ev-
erything has to stand on it's own
basis OF price these days OF soaring
prices on production of every kind.

enough of it in short. Gardening is
farther behind than we have seen
it for years 10 this section. How
