Prof.) Booth was content with having a couple of addresses —one by County School Superin tendent Floyd and another by Prof. W. A.

The addresses were good, par taking of patriotic and educational nature, were well received, enter taining and instructive. xxx The colored school also closed its year’s work last Friday evening. The program arranged for the oc casion was a splendid one and the manner of its rendition showed some very strenuous work on the part of teachers and pupils in get ting it ready for presentation. After the usual opening exer cises, the teacher introduced Edi tor Allen, w ho had been requested to speak to the audience on the origin and purpose of the Ameri can Red Cross. 11c spoke about thirty minutes.

Four ladies of the Baptist Sun day-School was sent out a week ago to take a Sunday School census of the city. The result of their investigations so far shows: Members of church 120 Non-Members of church 151 Attend Sunday-School 158 I>o not attend Sunday 5ch001....154 Having Denomination a) pref erence 214 Having no Denominational preference 24. These figures do not represent all the white population of the city, the Tribune is quite sure, a-s it took a private census of the cjty last, year and found the population to be 055 whites and 410 colored, -ft is true that tin-war times have caused a scattering out of the peo -pie of both races, lo answer the government’s call for soldiers and labor. Still the white population should not have been 1 depleted to the extent intimated by the fore going census report.

It is with feelings of sadness that the Tribune chronicles the death, on Saturday morning last, of Mr. James A. Moncrief, an esti mable and highly respected citi zen of this city, aged 59 years. Mr. Moncrief was born and rear ed in this section of country and carried in his memory rich stores of its history, and was prepared to give authentic statements of aL most every event of interest that has transpired in this section for the past forty or more years. The Tribune will miss his store of in format ion. On Monday morning the 15th instant, he plowed until about ten o'clock and then went to the house with what seemed to be an ague. He took to his bed and gradually grew- worse until the end came on Saturday at 6:30 a. m. He leaves his wife, two daugh ters —Meadaincs H. L. Lankford and (J. L. Floyd —and one son — Wm. If. Moncrief —to mourn his death. He had but one brother living, John Moncrief, who lives near Axson. The interment was at Antioch cemetery, six miles northwest of Pearson, Rev. D. J. Pearson offici ating. The funeral was under the auspices of Satilla Lodge F. A A. M., of which he had been an effici ent and faithful member. The lodges at.Homerville, Willacoochoe and Douglas were invited to take part in the funeral obsequies. The bereaved wife and children have the Tribune's most sincere sympathy in their sorrows.
