DEATH OF COL.
AS. TRICC
Died Suddenly Friday Evening of
AppOplexy.

Col. Albert Sidney Trigg died at
his home here Friday evening, Nov.
18th, at 7:35, from stroke of apo
plexy. He was stricken at his office
in Planters Trading Co. and was hur-
ried home, dying short while after
reaching there.
Col. Trigg was one of the best
loved men that ever lived in McCur-
tain County, and every man that knew
him was his friend. Always ready
with his time and money when any
question came up that concerned VAL
liant and McCurtain County, he gave
unsparingly of both for the better
ment of our town and county. No
man ever called upon Mr.. Trigg for
a favor that he did not grant it, and
through his big heartedness he had
won a place in the hearts of our peo-
pie that will be hard to fill.
Colonel Trigg was born in Oxford,
Miss, September 26th, 1861. He left
Oxford as young man and engaged
in business in Dallas, Texas, a few
years later moving to Ft. Smith, Ark,
and from there to Pine Bluff, where
for many years he was connected with
Talbot & Co., and the Hammett Gro
Gerry Co., of Pine Bluff, large whole
sale grocery house. While in Pine
Bluff, he was married to Miss Mary
York, daughter of the late Colonel ].
b. York who died here several months
ago.
In 1912, he moved with his family
to Valiant where he resided until his
death, at Z :35 P. NJ, November 18th,
1922.
At the time of his death he was
president and manager of the Plant
ers Trading Co., of Valiant, and also
president of the Commercial Club of
Valiant.
He is survived by his widow, Mrs,
Mary York Trigg, and son York
Trigg of Valiant, and a daughter,
Mrs. j. H. Noyes, Dallas, Texas, and
three sisters, Miss Eugenia Trigg,
Mrs. Rosa Bankhead, and Miss Helen
Trigg, of OXfosd, Miss.
The remains were carried to Oxford,
Miss. and tenderly laid away mid
scenes of his boyhood davs.
No truer friend, 20 better man, or
better citizen ever lived than Col.
A. S. Trigg, and Valiant will miss
him sorely. Peace, peace to his soul,
is the wish of the people who knew
him. To the heart broken family we
can only say, we are deeply sorry
for you in your hour of sadness.

A Big DRIVE
= IS NOW ON

While we are adverse to reducing
the price of the Eagle, we are yield
ing to the request of committee
which was appointed by the farmers
of the county at a recent meeting at
the court house. This committee
proposes to make the drive. We have
agreed to open the doors of the office
during December, and give every per-
81 desiring the paper an opportunity
to get it year for only one dollAr.
The Farm Bureau, Farm Agent and
Home Economic Agent will furnish
copy for a Farmers Page" every
week in the Eagle. This will be a
feature worthwhile to the farmers of
Lafayette county, and the reduced
price will be an inducement to hun
dreds to become regular readers of
the Eagle.
While offering this to the farmers
of the county we have decided to Of
fer to all alike. So if you wish to
get in on this proposition. now is the
time to do it. December 81 closes
this proposition, and it may be long
time before you will have the OPP
portunity to get the paper for a dol
lar again.
The time to act is right now---you
may forget it by waiting. Put a
dollar bill in an envelope and send it
right along, address it to G. w. Price,
Oxford, Miss, and your name will be
entered on the subscription list for
a whole year.

PLANS A GOOD WORK.

The Mems Bible Glass Of the first
Baptist church, of Oxford, OH last
Sunday, took up the matter of offer
ing their services to the churches IN
the county which have no pastor, and
send out from, Sunday to Sunday
some one or more of the members OF
the class to hold service for the
church, if invited by the churches to
do so. The class will be glad to CO.
operate with churches having pastors
in any way it can to further the work
The trips out will have to be in the
afternoon. On account of short days
during the winter months, and prob
able bad weather, it is not the pur-
pose of the class to put on the cam
paign before the first of March.
This work is to be work of love,
and is prompted by spirit of good
fellowship. The class feels that it Is
not doing enough work on the out
side. The class wants to cultivate a
closer fraternal fellowship among
the surrounding churches. We need
to know each other better. and from a
united front in opposing evil and
promoting the right.
Will the churches arrange a time
for us to come and let US know
that you would like to have us come
We want to help you. while in tur1
we shall receive blessing from the
fellowship and cooperation we shall
have, with you.
Sincerely and fraternally,
