Government Weather Report for the
Week Ending Monday July 3.
The mean temperature for the
week was about normal. From June
24th to 29th
curred daily and very excessive rains
were general over the northern por
tion of the State. Between June 80th
and July 3rd only a few scattered
showers were reported. The heaviest
rainfalls for the past week were as
follows: Yazoo City, 2.22 inches;
Greenwood, 2.36; Greenville, 3.41;
and Corinth 5 63. The rainfall was
less than one inch in several southern
counties.
Crops are generally in a very foul
condition. Some fields over the mid
dle and northern portions of the State
are so badly overrun with grass and
weeds that they will have to be aban
doned, while on many lowlands, over
flow has damaged stands and drowned
out young crops. Cultivation has
practically been at a standstill for
more than two weeks, except over
the southern counties where the
rains have been lighter and the work
ing of crops has made fair progress.
Cotton is generally undersized and
greatly in need of dry weather, sun
shine and cultivation, but as a rule it
is growing rapidly, there being a few
complaints of too rapid growth. In
several southern counties the crop
has improved somewhat during the
week.
A marked improvement in old corn
is reported from many middle coun
ties and there are some good fields of
early corn on uplands in the northern
counties. Much young corn is grow
ing well but needs cultivation. Po
tatoes, peas and pastures are general
ly doing well. Sugar cane continues
promising.

The Celebration.
The Fourth of July celebration
held here Tuesday was in every re
spect an unqualified success, and re
flected great credit upon the pro
moters and all in charge of same.
Despite the heavy rains of the pre
vious day a goodly number of visitors
from all parts of Holmes, as well as
adjoining counties attended, the num
ber being variously estimated from
1000 to 1500. The exercises opened
at the court house by the reading of
the Declaration of Independence by
Hon. R. C. McBee, followed by
masterly and patriotic addresses by
Hon S. M. Smith, Dr. H. Christmas
and Hon. G. A. Wilson. After the
speaking the crowd repaired to the
place appointed for the barbecue,
where an abundance of excellently
prepared dinner was done full justice
to by all. In the afternoon the
hall game between I^exington and
Vaiden held the center of attrac
tion. and was attended by a vast
concourse of admirers of the national
game. Everything passed off smooth
ly and harmoniously and the entire
absence of rowdyism of any sort
speaks volumes for the law-abiding
propensities of our people, as well as
the excellent administration Ijexing
ton is so fortunate as to possess.

In Honored Memory of William Espy

In the recent death of W. E. Mor

ty has sustained a sad and irreparable
loss. It mourns the death of a pro-!

last half century for its boundless
hospitality. A review of such a life,
rich in wholesome lessons of profit, is

William Espy Morrow was born
May 1st, 1850, after finishing his eol

with his honored father in business
here in Richland. Later, upon his
father's death, he became the head of
tbe mercantile firm of J. Morrow &
Co. and has since continuously resided
in this county,
and church circles he was widely
In business, social
known throughout the state, was uni- j
versallv popular, and his friends were j
legion. He was married in the little |
church at Uichland on June 27, 1894, j
to Miss Mell.e Hobson Doty, daughter |
of Mr and Mrs. V\. H. Doty. In j
church and buainesH circles he was a
leader, and his splendid social quali

endeared him to every one with whom
he came in contact.

his surgeons informed him that his
life hung on a slender thread and the

case of blind, but a most cheerful

death of an only boy hastened his

a last effort was made for his relief.
This child was the idol of his heart,
yet, with these sad afflictions multi

without complaint, as dispensations
of Heaven. What a pillar for church
and God is such a life and character!
