He gave it out strong that he is
not seeking an office; said that he
dosn't desir# any favors at the hands
•f the Democracy other than a steady
and reliable support of the ticket,
and attendance at the primaries.
Same of the good things he got off:
"A common liar in a community is
a benefit. He is like the sewer that
carries off the filth. A community
liar carries away in his mouth all the
bad things said in the community.
''I hold that no man produces wealth
except the man who scratches the

ducts.
"The girls of the country have been
alone in the matter of title hunting,

Asked about his view* on the race

"The prohibition question is a moral

if the entire State should go prohibi
tion, you could enforce it in those
communities where sentiment is
against it.
Robert Rueeell. Brekeman.
This is a glorious age in which we
live. Old men, thank God that you
have lived this long to be of it: and
young men, let your hearts be grate
ful that your coming was delayed un
til this generation.
Our men are glorious.
Our women are glorious.
And so are our sims and achieve
ments.
The glory that was Greece, and the
grandeur that was Rome! True,
true, in their arts and their letters
and their semi-barbaric civilization,
but for the heroism of lowly ones
God bless and keep them—let us look
ts America and the rest of Christen
dom, and to the Twentieth century.
There are marbled remembrances for
tliose of us who, in a particular field,
rise above our fellows, but we are
helpless in keeping green the mem
ory of our humble men and women
whose spirits are chivalrous and gal
lant and whose hearts are strong and
brave.

and comrade D. J. Hailey invoked the

The minutes of the previous meeting

comrades Oltenburg and Howell was
adopted:

Resolved, by this camp, that our
Senator and Representatives to the
next Legislature are requested to
oppose any and all bills that may be
introduced for such removal. The
grounds on which the monument
now stands, was set appart by the
Legislature of the State for a Con

great fatigue, although there were
no signs from either to quit. We
suggested the idea for some one to
stop their pugilistic efforts, and they
were separated. As soon however as
they were turned loose, at it they
went again until stopped the second
time. We had occasion to call in at

On Friday night of last week, the

ways true and helpful, as a citizen
loyal and courageous, and as a nublic
officer, painstaking, faithful and ef

glory on the name of Mississippi and

more than one serious wound, the
last one proving a lif ■ long disability.
Although impaired physically when

four years he was our county treas

people. Since then he settled down
near town to spend his remaining
days in peace and quite. To his be

sympathy.
