OBITUARY.
Mrs. Callie D. Jones, daughter
of Erkit and Sarah Doughtry, age
41 years, died Saturday, May 25,
1907, at her home near Fakes’
Chapel. She was horn in DeSota
county, Miss., Dec., 24, 1866, was
married Nov., 3, 1889, to R. A.
Jones. She was the mother of
six children (two of. whom are
dead) and a member of the Meth
odist church for more than 20
years. A husband, four children,
a brother, Mr. J. D. Doughtry, of
Memphis, and one sister who re
sides in Lexington, Miss., are
left to mourn her death.
Mrs. Jones was an every day
Christian. The beautifying in
fluences of a pure religion were
spread over a life and character as
spotless and charming as ever
possessed by any of the noble
women who have lived and died
during the ages that are gone. As
such a life was a blessing and
benefaction to all within the
sphere of its influence so is the
death of such a one a public mis
fortune, as well as an irreparable
loss to the home circle made deso
late by her departure. A is diffi
cult to pay a fitting tributte to the
memory of so noble a woman, one
whose every day life was embel
lished by the most charming and
lovable attributes of her sex. A
perfect lady at all times under all
circumstances, she seemed born to
inspire the love and respect of all
who were so fortunate as to be ac
quainted with her. No one was
more willing to aid the suffering,
cheer the desponding, sustain the
weak and to throw over the frail
ties of our race the mantle of
Christian charity, and when sick
ness and death came to her, as it
comes to all, neighbors and friends
vied with each other in acts of
loving kindness and tender solici
tude, and many were the willing
hands and hearts ready to assist
him upon whom rested the lieav\
responsibility of attempting to
fight back the ravages of disease,
to avert the inevitable and in
whom were united the devotion ol
a friend, the untiring skill and
watchful care of the conscien
tious, painstaking physician, but
love and skill were equally of no
avail. The great destroyer had
placed his signet on her brow am.
today, many who loved hei
living, mourn her dead.
In the presence of such a sorrow.
how cold and impotent are words
and how doubly deep would be tin
grief over the grave did not the
rainbow of Christian hope spat,
the dark gulf between time and
eternity, and such pure, bright
lives inspire the belief that there
is a better world beyond, where,
filled from the corroding cares ol
earth, the good and the true are
reunited, “after life’s fitful fever.”

Pleasant Evening Reveries- —A Column Dedicated to Tired

CRUDE THOUGHTS FROn THE EDITORIAL PEN
JUST AS WE SEE IT.
Two persons stand upon the
same bluff overlooking the great
Mississippi river. The one can
see nothing but a winding sheet of
water obliged to follow down an
incline on the earth’s surface, and
therefore of no interest to him.
The other, spellbound and with
awe and admiration for the won
derful works of nature, beholds a
mighty river, as in its ceaseless
power and majestic beauty it rolls
ever onward towards the sea. So
we saw the ripple of the water
here and there as it played around
some hidden rock, we thought of
the pilot who, when asked if he
knew where all the dangerous
rocks and shoals were along the
deep river, replied, “No, but I
know where the deep water is and
if we keep the boat in the deep
water we shall be safe and need
not worry much about where the
rocks are.” As we mused we
tkot there was a lesson in this. It
said to us not to fool away our
livfcs paddling along the shores of
the River of Time, probing around
trying to find all the rocks. We
believe many lives are wrecked,
not as much by the storms of life
as by drifting with the tide and
striking these rooks and coming
in contact with the hidden sins
and dangers along the shore.
Push out on the deep water, head
your bark up the stream, none but
lazy, indolent people drift with
the tide. Lay hold upon the prom
ises of God and pull against the
current and as the flow of this
mighty river we shall be able to
look back with peace and consola
tioh upon a life well spent in the
service of God and humanity and
by and by how sweet will come
the welcome words, “Well done,
good and faithful servant.”
Oh, if you would gather all the
tender memories, all the lights and
shades of heart, all banquetings
and reunions, all filial, fraternal,
paternal and conjugal affections,
and you had only just four letters
with which to spell out that height,
and depth, and length, and breadth,
and magnitude, and eternity of
meaning, you would, with
steamiug eyes, and trembling voice,
and agitated hand, write it out in
those four living capitals H -O-M-E.

It is the daily life that tests us,
the manner of men we are. It js
not our prayers, it is not our pro
fession, but it is the tone of daily
intercourse and conduct that de
cides how we stand. The little
homely graces; the cheerful, every
day amenities; the Christ-like
spirit uttering itself, not so much
m conscious act as in unconscious
influence; not so much in deed as
in that subtle aroma which, with
out name, excludes from the saint
ly soul, to equals and inferiors, to
agreeable and disagreeable, to
rich, poor, ignorant, to young, to
old; bearing burdens; accepting
crosses; seeking no great thing to
do, content to put self by and be
a servant of the lowest, these are
fruits of one root, fruits that none
can counterfeit.
