GOLDEN WEDDING
The following interesting arti-
cle describing the golden wed
ding anniversary of the parents
of our townrinan Hon W N
Lewis is clipped from the Hous-
ton Miss Advocate of Jan 1st :
Dear Advocate :
On the 25th day of December
1908 Mr and Mrs J A Lewis
celebrated the goldeu anniver-
sary of their wedding in a very
impressive manner A large
company of people composed of
relatives and friends assembled
at the Methodist church at 11 a
m songs were sung scriptures
read and a number of pointed
and interesting talks were made
It was touching to see the aged
parents and all their childreu —
five sons and one daughter — file
in the church and occupy a front
pew together After a few in-
troductory remarks by the writ-
er Prof T W Hamilton now
Chancery Clerk addressed the
audience His long acquaint-
ance and association with the
family as instructor gave him a
fine opportunity for a speech
which he used in a pleating and
masterly way Hon N B
Crawford exState Senator who
was present at the wedding fifty
years ago was booked for an ad-
dress bat illness kept him away
Mr J A Lewis who represents
his county in the Legislature at
Jackson and received at the last
election the largest vote polled
for any one man in the county
was next to talk Naturally the
occasion overwhelmed him but
suppressing his emotions he re-
ferred to a number of events in
his married life in a characteris-
tic speech He said in part:
“We’ve been married fifty years
and have never asked for a di
vorce yet We’ve had peace in
our home' If there was ever
any whiskey-drinking card-playing
and dancing in our home I
have no knowledge of it” Re-
ferrirg to the Lewis family in
general he said further “A di-
vorce was never known in the
Lewis family They don’t marry
to divorce It is understood when
they marry it is for life” Rev
— was a member of the North
Miss Conference for a number
of years is indeed one of the
elect women She is accomp-
lished possessed with a sweet
spirit and devoted to herchuidi

vor of the wife and mother Mrs
Bettie Foster Lewis Her strong
mental powers and most excel-
lent Christian character arero

not at the church bnt in the
home on Christmas morning in
response to the one made in pre-
senting the gift of gold The
best developed them Imagine
the rest Than k God for such a
trae and great mother
The meeting at the church
closed with singing “When the
roll is called up yonder I’ll be
there” and a general handshak-
ing The children and friends
renewed the promise to meet
tnese dear old soldiers of the
Cross in heaten Tears were in
abundance and there was real
rejoicing That was a memor-
able hour and the day will
never be forgotten by many who
witnessed the scene May the
great and good Father bless
abundantly and continually lie

Going Ahead by Going in
Debt
Any city auy county or any
state that n-a not gone in debt
has not lived up to its opportuni-
ties of usefulness says the editor
of the Saturday Evening Post
The state goes ahead by going in
debt railroads go ahead by go-
ing in debt the business man
goes ahead by going in debt
The legislature at the coming
session should put some of its
best brains and best work into a
law allowing counties and mu-
nicipalities to issue fifty years
bonds for public improvements
These bonds sell for a better
price tney draw a lower rate of
interest the tax payers pay only
a email portion each year the
burden is lessened and the coun-
try receives equal benefits This
question offers an opportunity
for some good work Useful
work that needs to be done for
the state There are vast possi-
bilities for advancement in this
slate but capital is required
There is no- other means of ob
taining this capital except by
the method of floating bonds
Every county deserves a good
court house good schools good
roads and bridges every city
deserves public improvements
for beauty for sanitation and
convenience Fifty year bonds
will roIvs many a difficult prob-
lem in this new state and there
is no reason why the counties
should not be allowed to issue
them — Ex
