MEMORIAL SERVICE.

Seldom indeed has the writer wit
messed memorial service so harmon
lous in its setting or so elevating and
inspiring in its rendition.
The old veterans so few and feeble
excited ones admiration while it called
Up sympathetic memories of those who
have recently answered the last roll
call. The beautiful touching song so
ably rendered brought deep tears of
emotion to many an eye. The school
children also did their part in singing
the Bonny Blue Flag and furnished
fertile soil for the seeds of sentiment
and patriotism that fell in a golden
stream from the speakers lips. The
speaker did not depend on the local
setting or years of public speaking to
furnish something with which to while
away a pleasant hour which is So of
ten the case, but in a prepared address
he gave to US the deep conviction of
years OF experience and research. His
point OF justification of secession was
we'll taken as state rights was held to
be supreme over national rights prob
aoly IN every state in the Union IN
to the Civil War. It fell to the LOT Of
slavery and in no small measure the
protective tariff of the north to bring
the issue to the test Of war.
So prevalent was this view held in
the north that in many sections those
who. were in favor of permitting the
southland to choose her own form Of
government were in the majority and
this sentiment necessitated the draft
laws to be enacted later.
The speakers eulogy of Lee and
Jackson was well founded for to fine
student of history they stand
out as the pre-eminent generals of the
war. Yet greater even than wonder
Iul military genius stands out their
sublime Christian characters. To nv
mind Grant was not the genius mis-
ardent admirers would have US he
ieye nor as limited in talents as some
picture him. He was strong ENOUGH

THE COUNTY AGENTS FUNER-
AL"


In the Tennessee Extension Review,
Vol, 5, No, for February, 1922, there
appeared an article credited to the
Banker-Farmer, under the above quot
ed caption. While the story refers to
the actual passing hence through the
last scene Of al" of bona fide and
feshly county agent" in Indiana, it
is also in a sense iigurative and alle-
gorieal The moral is SO clearly de-
fined as to justify the reproduction
here.
The Demonstration feels that every
man, woman, or child in Mississippi
whose progress has been aided and
strengthened by the influence of their
county agent whether man on wom-
an, will appreciate the moral convey
ed by the following;
"The flag on the court house hung
at half mast. All the stores in town
were closed from one o'clock till FIVE.
The County Agent was dead--was not,
indeed, dead, but had passed on to a
higher field of service. His body was
borne down Main Street, proceeded by
the Masons, with their white aprons,
and the Odd Fellows in impressive
mourning regalia, and followed by a
long line of fellow citizens. Never,
men said to one another, had the COM
munity suffered greater loss. Never
had there been a more spontaneous
expression of grief and love. People
with whom and for whom he had
worked had come from all portions
of the county, from adjoining coun-
ties, from outside the state, to pay
their tribute to his memory.
