IRS. lATTIHE ELIZABETHI O'IELLEI TWULCER, IDIED-At "elverton." the conntry hon,*e of Mr. and Mr. D. Ashford O'Kliev. in Tenrsa Parish. 1,a., MIAT. TTE ELIZABETT O'KETLLEY WALK The sadlness and sorrow of an :already saddened community has beon aceenuated heyond measure by the pathetic death of this young wife and mother, and the hearts of all who knew and loved her have been stirred to their deepest depths; their truest sympathies go to the devoted husband who felt the in tllence of her strong, sweet person ality and found in her the respona to every heart-throb, and the ke to the solution of every trouble. .\s the joy of motherhood first gladdened the heart of this noble woman, her pure soul caught the reflection of God's perfect light and passed forever from its earthly ten ement into that blessed home which knows no pain nor sorrow. Like a beautiful flower she has been cut down when life seemed fairer and brighter, when the sunny hearted day seemed robed in all its most beautiful colors; when love and tenderness, such as come to few, made happy the passing hours, and sweet and beautiful tendrils of affection put forth their fair young blossom to gladden the fragrant garden of a home, in which God Himself reared the altar of love, truth and devotion, like ministering spirits, guarding the portals. Mattie Elizabeth O'Kelley was born on "Osceola" plantation, in this parish, on November 22, 1890, her fau,'er, W. D. O'Kelley, being a prominent planter here then. Later they moved to Mississippi, where she lived in the home of her grandmother, Mrs. D. F. Ashford, until grown, then coming to St. Jo seph t ) live. L.ees than two years ago, in the first dawn of her young womanhood, she became the wife of Mr. J. B. W;alker, a man capable of appreci ating her many womanly virtues and rare gifts, whose own noble, ur.ight character and true worth, ',"i"ler devoti,on to duty and to her, Il,,,ught t., her life that complete ne-s, which is the perfection of the truly happy home. It was in this happy home life all the sweet beauty of he: nature was given out in un restricted channels. And now this beautiful life is closed forever, leaving in its place a dear little one .fresh with the stile of God upon its face. Deep and inscrutable indeed are the de ,'rees of Providence! The interment was made in the beautiful cemetery at Natchez. Buried beneath a mountain of ex quisite flowers she lies there in her last deathless sleep. The smile that radiated her face in life with a fore glimpse of heaven, still lingers lov ingly about the month in death. The heautiful hands are folded, the gentle eyes are closed and the heart that never failed to respond to the voices of those.who loved her is forever stilled. Death has come to this happy home and made it desolate, and in face of such grief that pervades it, language fails. The very heavens have wept in sympathy. But to them there still remains this consolation, that she whom they mourn departed from this earth to form another of the unfail ing circle of the elect of heaven and from that realm of eternal peace Iand happiness she will continue to watch over them, and give the same Isweet influence-nay a richer, truer, purer help than that which cbarac terized her devotion to her loved ones on earth. C. M. D. WE MAE LIST A FIENIE We have losta friendl Not for many years in our town has grief been so immeasurably felt and shown as in the death of Abner Green. All cla.sces and all ages, from the tiny tot to the gray-haired man, have bared their heads in a com mon sorrow. Big hearted and sym pathetic, intensely loyal to his friends, the possessor of a keen and refined intellect and a broad and /sane out-look upon life, he built for himself a place in our community and in our hearts that will not read ily be filled. "Not a kindlier life, or sweeter. Time, that lights and quenches men, Now may quench or light again, Mingling with the mystic metre, : W'oven of all men's lives with his, Not a clearer note than this, .Not a kindlier life or sweeter." A FRIEND. Mr. Emmett S. Newton, of Chat tanoor t, Tenn., came to Natchez toV attend the funeral of his friend and I former juedian, thae lamted MUr, AMNER [GREEN. Abner E. Green died at Vnn ()rmv, Texas, last Sunday, and wais hnried in Natchez on Tuesday of this week. He was horn at Port Gibson. Miss., September 2, 1872. ,on of Mr. James Payne Green, and cnane of one of the oldest families in his native State, his mother be ing a Miss Wailes. After having obtained a primary education at home, he attended the state A. & M. College, at Starks. Iville, Miss., and comnleted his aca ,lemic course at the University of the South, Rewanee, Tenn., wherej he also studied law and graduated Sn the legal department of the Uni versity. He came to St. Joseph in 1895, studied law in the office of the late Robert H. Snyder, and soon began the practice of his profession here. lie soon built up a lucrative prac tice and engaged at the same time in journalism, being for some time owner and editor of the Gazette. He was married June 6th, 1900, to Miss Nora Slicer, daughter of the late Dr. J. E. Slicer, who survives him. In 1900 he was elected Parish Superintendent of Education and was re-elected in 1904. In 1908 he was elected District Attorney and was re-elected to that oflice in 1912. Such is a brief sketch of the life of our lamented friend-an outline of his career,-but a more gifted pen than the writer's is required to fill in the sketch-to paint into the picture the colors which will give it life and warmth and cause it to faithfully delineate the strong man, I the vital and virite character who has passed away. Abner Green was gifted in an un usual degree with the faculty for making and keeping friends. No 1 one approached him who did not I feel the charm of his manner, which I was enhanced by his physical at tractiveness. While he was court eous, and approachable, there was e a certain dignity in his manner and deportment which at once inspired respect and secured the confidence of all who knew him. Full of sym pathy for his fellow-man, his hand was ever ready and his warm heart i open to those in distrese. A loyal man, a man to trust, the kind of man one wants for a comrade wheth er in smiling timm of peace or when clouds are lowering and conditions demand strong and brave men. For he was essentially a brave man, both physically and morally. And I so he made a brave and patient I fight for life-for that life which a must have been so sweet to him, t full as it was of all those things which make life worth living-the i respect and confidence of all who J knew him, the tender love and af- c fection of family and hosts ofE friends, success in his chosen life work. Facing the loss of all these things-in the full maturity of his a powers stricken by a fatal malady- he fought the good fight bravely, cheerfully and patiently, like the gallant gentleman he was, and those c who loved him, watching how he I bore himself, were filled with sad- I nees at the impending calamity, but still more filled with pride and ad miration at his fortitnde.

Green, at Von Ormy, Texas, a gloom was cast over our entire down -yea parislh, for certainly there was no one in all Tensas more beloved by all classes and creeds than be, and every one was eager to learn full particulars as to his burial, and when all arrangements had been made for the - funeral to be held at Natchez on Tuesday evening, num bers of our people, of both sexes and colors, and all ages, were seen gathering flowers to be placed on his grave as a last tribute of love to one who knew not an enemy. The good ladies of St. Joseph made a blanket of satin which was covered with violets, and which totally en veloped the casket as it lay in state. In the center of this beautiful cover were the letters "Rest" worked in white carnations. Numerous and ex quisite floral offerings came from other sections and the grave was a veritable mound of flowers, as sweet evidence of the love and apprecia tion that was felt for this good man. The services were conducted from Trinity Episcopal Church by the Rev. Joe. Kuehnle, the funeral pro cession including nearly a score of vehicles. The following gentlemen acted as pall bearers at the funeral: Honorary-Aaron Stanton, C. L. Clark, Jos. Curry, Dr. L. A. Mur dock, Dr. I). H. Alverson, Louis T. Hunter, Doc. Brown, W. D. A. Gorton, F. O. Adams and Judge N. M. Calhoun. Active-Joe. M. Reeves, E. P. Campbell, D. F. Ashford, W. D. Mounger, Emmett S. Newton, Louis Buckner, R. H. Whitney, Holman L. Smitha, John Hughes and W. M. Davidson. Perhaps the most pathetic sight witnessed on .this sad occasion was the deep and silent grief of the aged parents of the beloved dead, whose last surviving child, the prop and stay and comfort of theirold age, was laid to rest beneath the sod. May God comfort them is our prayer! The devoted widow, the com panion and joy of his life, pros trgted with grief, was supported by her brother, Dr. J. E. Slicer, and to whorn the loving sympathy of many friends was extended. The following friends from Tensas attended the funeral: Dr. Alverson, C. L. Clark, Jos. Isaace, W. M. Davidson, G. H. Clinton, Louis Buckner, Dr. Murdock, Hilman L. qmitha, R. L. Wimberly, Joe. Cur ry, Frank Curry, Thos. M. Wade, Wm. C. Jordon, B. F. Young, J. Maury Stanton, Josiah P. Scott, R. H. Whitney and wife, John Hughes, Mrs. B. B. Young, Miss Brunette Lewis, Miss Loula Pipes, F. O. Adams, Louis Hunter and W. D. A. Gorton and wife. As a mark of respect to the memory of Mr. Green, for eight years parish superintendent of ed ucation, Supt. Wade ordered all public schools in the parish to give half holiday, while the St. Joseph school was given full holiday that the faculty might attend the ob sequies. And as a further mark of respect, sad evidence of regard, every business house in Newellton, St. Joseph and Waterproof closed their doors and all business was suspend ed during the hour of the funeral. So great was the love and esteem with'which Mr. Green was held by our people thatta movement was started this week to raise a fund by volunteer subecriptions to erected a monument to his memory. How ever imposing the shaft or sublime the inscription, no tablet of the culptors's art, no pathos of the poet's song, can reflect the deep love that beat for him in every breast in Tensas. Abner Green's epitath is engraved in the heartsaof all who knew him. .4 Peace to his ashes, peace to his memory, peace to his soull HORSES AND MULES!
