THE SPIRIT OF A. D. CRAYSONIS
 WAITED AWAY
Prominent Citizen of Greene County Succumbs to Ill., ness at Family Home in This City.

Responding to the final summons, "A. D. Grayson closed his eyes in eternal sleep last night at 9:25 70 clock at the family home on West Court street, surrounded by mem ,bers of the family. Death was due to Bright's disease from which the patient had been suffering several months. He was 5S years of age. born October 31, 1863.
 The death of MT. Grayson re- moves from the community one of its most prominent citizens, whose pleasing personality will be greatly missed by the citizens of the coun- ty. To many people the news of his death will come as distinct shock, as it had not become general ly known that his physical condition had developed into an alarming na- ture. Illness began to manifest it. self two or three years ago, but actual falling of health did not present serious concern till a few months ago and only few weeks ago did his affliction take an alarm ing turn.
 Last Monday q partial stroke of paralysis was suffered by Mr. Cray son, leaving him speeches.. Fol lowing that attack he soon became unconscious and his condition grew rapidly worse till death intervened last night at 925 o'clock.
 MT. Grayson was, perhaps, per- sonally known to as many people in Greene county as any other citi- zen residing within its borders. He was gentleman of an unusually pleasant nature, one who numbered his friends to the extent of his &C., quaintance- and the announcement of his death will be received with dis tinct regret by the citizens gener- ally
 
 Greensboro in Craighead county near the Greene county line-mov- ing to this county with his parents in early manhood, locating near WalcOtt. where he devoted himself to farm life till he entered poli- tics in 1896. In that year he en- tered upon the duties of deputy sheriff and collector under the ad- ministration of the late John R. Thompson who served in the capaci- ty of sheriff and collector from 1896 to 1900. Following his term as deputy Mr ,Grayson was elected to the office of sheriff and collector and held it for two terms, from 1900 to 1904 He made the coun- ty good official and his admins tration was marked with incidents .of an unusual order in the execu- Ition of his official duties, with which the people are familiar. He served as deputy U. s. marshal from 1914 to 1916.
 Immediately following his election to the office of sheriff and collector he moved his family to Paragould from Walcott into the family home on West Court street where he re- sided continuously till the hour of his death.
 Since retiring from politics in 1904. MT. Grayson devoted himself to various lines of business and enjoyed good measure of success. Prior to the illness that forced him to hH bed, he was engaged in the

matter what his lot in life may be,
when this hour falls upon the dial
Of night, the great heart of Elkdom
swolls and throbs. 1t is the golden
hour Of recollection; the home com
ing of those who wander; the mystic
roll call of those who will come no
more. Living or dead--an Elk is
re '2r forgotten, never forsaken.
Morning and noon may pass him by,
and the light of day sink heedlessly
in the west, but ere the shadows of
midnight shall fall, the chimes of
memory will be pealing forth this
tender message:
"To our absent brothers"

Slents in each members later life.
An Elk is taught to seek the gold in
his brothers heart and to help oblit-
crate the faults so common to US all,
in Il word to scatter flowers along
liie's pathway.
Elkdom searches only for the good,
md on Elk's Memorial Day, we only
recall the sparkling jewels in the
lives of those brothers whose mem
ory this lodge commentaries. To
many of you they were dear. In
fraternity they were grand and no.
Bile. In life they were our brothers,
and Oh! how we wish they might be
with US now! How we miss them.
What sad partings we have known.
Yet, has the Grand Exalted Ruler of
the Universe not been kin dto us who
remain, in that we may unite in true
fraternity and say-Lord, God, Thy
will be done.
In memory we turn back to child
hood, when fond parents, confident of
great days to come, fancied for their
boy a place of prominence measured
only by the appreciation others plac-
ed upon him.
Through school days-young man
hood-and perhaps few years more
and then the Grim Reaper brings
to end the fond and indulging hopes
of these proud parents who saw for
the future only a high and lofty
goal Sad? Yes. Different? No.
Through all the ages has this gone
on. Faith tells us the Almighty
works in many ways His ends to ac-
complish.
So, too, with Elkdom. In ways
sometimes beyond the comprehen-
sion of those not enrolled upon our
membership, our grand Order goes
about its work.
l have sat in the Grand Lodge
Councils of this Order with the Gov
ernors of 26 states, admirals of our
navy, Generals of our army, Presi-
dents of Colleges, men of high rank
in the arts and sciences, ministers
of the Gospel, candidates for the
presidency of our Republic, men
prominent in great professions-all
who love and serve Elkdom. Yet the
Order has been misunderstood or not
understood at all because we look
for the good alone and "the faults of
our brothers we wrote upon the
sands"

Palatka Lodge has been quite for

Palatka Lodge has been quite for
tunate thisi year in that the Master
of our Destinies has called to Him
but one of your members, leaving the
Organization practically intact that
you may foster Elkdom's purposes in
His name.
During the last year it has been
my sad lot to lose two dear friends.
One man passed into the Grand
Lodge of the Universe without means
but with great pride, and in this in
stance, would like to show you the
true spirit of Elkdom. Several years
ago, an Elk of our acquaintance was
taken away after years of illness.
The friend tell you of, thinking to
make the parting less painful, prom
ised to always care for two very
small children who became orphans
with their fathers death. This Elk,
my friends, God bless him and keep
him, died in want for caring for
caring for those orphan babies; yet
many were the hands outstretched
to aid him, which his pride and pro-
mise would not permit This was an
Elk's service to another Elk, and yet
both of them were only every day
brothers.
In little town in New Jersey, on
this day, as we do here, homage is
paid by not less than two thousand
Elks to those good brothers l tell
you of. Yet all Elks who assemble
on this day give praise that the Pow
err that wills it, grants us the privi-
lege of being here to thank Him for
His blessings, many of them to teach
US that a good life rears no fear of
death.
AS we leave the assemblage today,
let US ponder over the Elk's toast,
and in spirit practice it, whether of
the Order or not. The chimes that
precede the rendition of the Elk's
toast are material signals for the
stroke of eleven yet they always
bring to mind the last hour of the
day when all Elks rise to attention
to listen to this toast:
My friends, you have heard the
tolling of eleven bells; this is to re-
mind you that with us the hour of
eleven has a tender significance,
Wherever an Elk may roam, no

LOVE-HATE IS THEME i
OF "OVER THE WIRE"

In "Over the Wire," the Wesley
Ruggles Production for Metro, which
will be seen at the Grand today as
the feature attraction, Alice Lake,
the brilliant little screen actress,
who plays the starring role, has a
picture specially made for her by
Arthur Somers Roche. The latter is
distinguished as writer of fiction.
Strong hate that in the crucible of
emotion changes to love, is the great
underlying theme of this remarkable
picure, which has all the vitality and
life characteristic of the works of
Mr.. Roche. The story, briefly, deals

Elks Keep Green
Memory of Those
Who Have Departed
PAGE

Impressive memorial ceremonies OF
the Elks were attended by large
thrOnG at the Grand theater Sunday
afternoon. The exercises in the the
alter were preceded by bad concert
by the Community Service band in
front.
The memorial address was deliver
ed by James W. Hart, Past District
Deputy Grand Exalted Ruler and
was asplendid effort. The text of
his address follows:
"The faults of our brothers
We write upon the sands
Their virtues on tablets
OF love and memory"
This is a modern tenet of mod
ern Order, yet reverence for the me-
mory of the dead is not creed Of
modern times alone We find the an
clients built magnificent mausoleums,
held enormous pageants, and record
ed in history, that have passed down
through all the ages, the accomplish
ments of those who did honor to their
times.
It has remained, however, for an
American Order to dedicate one day
of the calendar to those who stood
at the altar of true fraternity and
subscribed to those ideals and be-
liefs on which Gods greatest coun-
try is founded-Love of Family,
Home and Friend; respect and ODE
,die1cp to constituted authority.
On The first Sunday in each De-
,eember, the Benevolent and Protec
tive Order of Elks, of the United
States of America, assemble in fiji
teen hundred communities under one
Flag. and as a token of respect, eight
hundred thousand Elks and their
friends pay homage to the memory
of their departed brothers. May
GOD bless and continue Elkdom
There is little mysticism in Elk
