An Unusual Boy.
The following, from the Com
meroiol Appeal of May 25th, in
reference to Mr. Smiley ShipmaD,
son of Rev. W. S. Shipman, who,
when a resident of our city, was
quite a small boy, wdll be read with
interest by the host of friends of
the family. Rev. Shipman was for
several years the very efficient
Manager of the Methodist Or
phan’s Home located in Water
Valley, but now in Jackson, and he
also served ooe year as pastor or
the First Methodist Church, and
both he and his most excellent
family were held in high esteem
by our citizens:
“Smiley Shipman, oldest son of
Rev. W. S Shipman, of Itta Beua,
Miss , who holds an unusually good
record in school and college life,
going 11 years to the best schools
and colleges of the South ou his
own expense, without missing a
single day from school in five
years. During high school young
Shipman worked after school hours
and accumulated a little bank ac
count of $225 by the end of his
high school term. With this he
entered “Sawney” Webb's school
at Bell Buckle, Tenn., when only 14
After remaining with Mr, Webb
three years he entered Millsaps
College in Jackson, Miss., where
he has been for three years.
Not only has young Shipman
made his own way, but has assisted
his father in keeping two younger
brothers in college at the same,
and by his work and saving has
purchased the college book and
stationery store and is making
good with his investment.
This shows what a boy may do
when he really prefers an educa
tion to the alluring demands of
