MRS. MORRIS IS DEAD.
A mother in Israel fell asleep
when the freed spirit of Mrs. Elvira
Morris went back to the God who
gave it. She had been called to Big
Sandy by the illness of relatives,
was taken down with tho grip, and
after a few days illness death came
peacefully Tuesday morning and
she has joined tho enumerable host,
of the redeemed on earth, who cry
" Hosanna to our King." Mrs. Mor
ris was one of the pioneers, so to,
speak, of Benton County, where she
grew up to beautiful young woman
hood. It was then she was married
to Col. W. P. Morris, whom she sur
vived only a few short years. Her
life was characterised by one long
series of good deeds, and many a
wayfarer on life's tempestuoushigh
way has risen up and called her
blessed. There was a tender spot
in her warm, motherly heart for the
sick and afflicted, and tho purity of
her life and conversation, her kind
ness of spirit and grace of conduct,
her pat ience and fidelity in the dis
charge of every duty will be held
in kind and grateful remembrance
by tho people of this community.
She connected herself with the
Methodist Church early in life and
through all the succeeding years
she lived a consistent christian
dying with a triumphant faith and
hope of everlasting immortality.
She is survived by six children
John P. Morris, of Union City; V.
F. Morris, Mrs. William Caraway
and Mrs. J. B. Bowles, of Big San
dy, and W. L. Morris and Mrs. W.
F. Maiden, of this place. We ex
tend our heartfelt sympathy to the
bereaved relatives, with the earnest
hope that oven so great a bereave
ment may be overruled for their
higher and eternal good. She was
broughthome Wednesday mornincr,
Funeral services were held at tho
Methodist Church in the afternoon,
and in the presence of a large con
course of relatives and friends the
body was tenderly laid to rest by the
side of her husband at the Camden
Cemetery.
OBISDIKJiCE.
Editor The Ciironicuc:
We beg of you a little space to
say a tew words to the mother who
has children to rear and is confront
ed with the difficult task of com
manding obedience.
All parents wish their children
to be obedient that is, to do as
they are told without question or
dispute. Yet we have only to glance
about us to see what a signal failure
most parents make of their efforts
in this direction.
Why is it that such a f undam onta
virtue as obedience is so difficult o
acquirement that few children pos
j soss it in perfection, and many par
c 1 1 1 h FH-in to have given up in de
spair the attempt to inc.ieaie it?
There are two n asons whieh lie
at the root of thin slate of affairs;
lelny in beginning the training,
and want of persistence in contin
uing it. A child six months old is
not too young to be taught what
obedience means. Long before lie
has reached this ago a baby knows
that he can get what ho wants by
crying for it, and ho can abo bo
taught that Homo things are not
yielded even to this appeal.
It is, of course, absurd to suppose
that an infant can bo made to un
derstand and obey all the wishes of
his parents, but it can be impressed
upon his little mind that there is
anauthority over him against which
it is useless for him to rebel, rebel
lion being futile and profitless.
When once this is understood,
the. difficult task of teaching obedi
enco is half done. The other half
comes later, when the roasonim
powers have developed and the
child can be trained, to yield his
own will to that of its parent as a
matter of principle.

THAT CONVENTION.
, Editor:
Mi
Under the above heading your expla
nation of that, premature mass-meeting
was well and appropriately said, and
fully explains the situation and how easi
ly it is for certain influences to do an in
justice to honest Democrats who are at
home attending to domestic matters, but
who have at heart the interests of the
party at large.
I don't believe the responsibility rests
upon tho executivo committee or the
chairman of tho committee, or that the
chairman knew of .so short a call until
he saw it in print. And in all probability
some members of the committee do not
know of the call or the mass-meeting to
this good day unless from rumor.
