We regret to hear that Charley Bee
the eldest son of Mr. Barnard Bee, is
in one of the sanitariums of New Or
leans in a very low state of health. He
is suffering with consumption, the
dread disease which caused his
mother’s death.
Our young friend, W. Bennett Chan
dler, who has occupied the responsible

large plantation interests.

years old. It bears the date of “Sep
tember 1, 1701,” 30 years before George
Washinton was born, done in cross
stitch by hands long since folded in
the valley of death. Mrs. Currie was
a Miss Cradick, and the piece also
bears the name of “Catharine Crad
ick,” who was a distant relative.
Death of Van B. Watts, Jr.
After weary months of-failing health
and weeks of confinement to his home,
Van Watts passed to the better coun
try on last Thursday afternoon. The
end was expected for several days and
Van expressed himself as being willing
and ready to submit to the inevitable
decree of that direful enemy of man
kind, consumption, and to the will of
God. In his last days he seemed hap
py in contemplation of his departure
and repeatedly looked with brighten
ing vision, beyond the shores of time,
for the heavenly visitation .that would
bid him “arise and go hence.” Sur
rounded by loved ones, he quietly
breathed his last and left all assurance
that he had joined the ranks of the re
deemed.
On yesterday afternoon the funeral
services took place from the family
residence and were conducted by Rev.
R. H. Purser and Rev. O. T. Chandler,
after which the Knights Templar took
charge of the body.
Exquisite floral emblems covered
the casket and stands. Among those
from personal friends, were handsome
pieces from the Knights Templar, the
King’s Daughters and young men of
the town.
The sympathy of the entire com
munity goes out to the stricken family,
- so sadly bereaved in the death of a
member beloved and loving.

Farmers Admonished.
Farmer Carlisle, of the West
Point Leader, who always comes
forward with a word in season,
says:
Perhaps more ground has been
broken since last fall to date than
for many years. The weather
has been very propitious and the
probability is' that the farmers
will get their corn and cotton
planted very early. In olden
times, very much of the corn in
the prairies was planted in Febru
ary. The general report is that
every farmer will plant largely
in cotton. It is stated that even
many of the town negroes are go
ing to the country to plant cotton.
Eesult—a big crop and the bot
tom out of prices. It takes ex
perience to teach people, how
ever. The rule with etfery farm
er should be plenty of corn, peas,
potatoes, hay and as much qotton
as he can conveniently raise, be
sides. Such a policy would in
sure a good living even if the
bottom did drop out of the price
of cotton.
The “Mental Anguish” feature
of the railroad bill is enough to
make one weep.

Rev. J. P. Harrington is cham

“RED NECK.”
Why He Was Not Promoted.
He watched the clock. -~.
He was always grumbling.
He was always behindhand.
He had no iron in his blood.
He was willing but unfitted.
He did not believe in himself.
He asked too many questions.
He was stung by a bad book.
His stock excuse was ‘I for
got.’
He wasn’t ready for the next
step.
He did not put his heart in his
work.
He learned nothing from his
blunders.
He thought he was above his
position. . „
He chose his friends among his
inferiors.
He was content to be a second
rate man.
He ruined his ability by half
doing things.
He never dared to act on his
own judgments and convictions.
He did not think it worth while
to “learn how.”
He tried to make bluff a sub
! stitute for attention and ability.
He thought it necessary to give
every evening to amusement.
Familiarity with slipshod
ways paralyzed his ideal.
He thought it was clever to
use coarse and profane language.
-He was ashamed of his parents
because they were old fashioned.
He imitated the habits of men
who could stand more than he.
He did not learn that the best
part of his salary was not in his
pay envelope.— Success.
