Mrs, Burriss had boen III for some time and her death was not altogeth er unexpected. Nevertheless a large circle of rrlends and hundreds of kim men were shocked this morning to hear of her demise.

She had one sister who died in infancy. There were no brothers.

Anderson, and was later graduated from the Duo West Female College, this In 1866. For several years she taught.

HOME LIFE IN DiXIE DURING CIVIL WAR; ELOQUENT LECTURE BY MISS ISSIPPIAN AT TENT HEROES AT HOME AU the Bravery Not At Front Shown by Numerous Inci dents of Those Left Behind trni last night, willie notdalolahiol i Tiie gathering ut th? auditorium tent inst night, while not one of the largest cf the reunion, war. among tile best repaid, the lecture of Dr. S, A. Steel JIU ..Home Life in Dixie During tiie War," waB a splendid presenta tion of conditions "back home" during that eventful four years of the history of the Southland. His lecture de picts the life of those who stayed at home, and while not in thc limelight as were the toidlers at iii?.- trout, he showed that many of the persons l"ft at '.'onie deserved as great honors as did those lighting the battles ot Ihelr country. One who hears tIiis great lecture will go away with a different Idea of the causea of th grut tao!n.uiw.i8*ir!ti thc cerises of t'.ie greit r.trug;'.e which hus boen co vi.idly brought to mind in the coming together of the survivors here during the past few .1 _ .... rnu"_1--._?._. .... Kttf_ ".*y ?.? ? ?4 ?J gyconci taiicu ll l?l?J tv ci of the Great Misunderstanding," and he contended that if the people of the Soutli had undcrst'-jd thc people of the North as well as they did when the war was half over, or If the people of the North had known more of the people of thc South would never have been any war. One of the main caus es of the war was ignorance of the strength of tho opposing forces. The o| luton prevailed down South that thc war would last only Blxty days, and many young men enlisted in the South ern armies as If they were going on a jaunt, many of them carrying dress suits to wear at the victorious ball to he given at Richmond. The North was euually Ignorant -of the strength o? the South as President Lincoln show ed when he called for onlv 7B.000 troop "to quell tho rebellion." Anoth er great cause of tho war was the presence of the protervld orators who stirred up their audiences and appeal ed to their pr?judice?, asserting that "one Southerner could lick a dozen yankees with a cornstalk." J>r. Steel was a-farmer boy down In Mississippi? and while he drives) home some gruat truths of tho war. his lecture is mainly of'his personal ex periences during t!ie war. Hb home was near,<o same of the/great bailies and In tho midst of stirring scenes whir*' ltiil an lndcU.be! Impression on his young mind. Some of !:is earliest recolle t ons of the- war .centered nround a visit of thp' Methodist dru itt rider to lits father's borne, and lucir cou./quent argument ov?r th ? ap proaching conflict; His father con tended that ibo . North was stronger than the South and, had il ll tul ta ble re sources, from v/'olch <tn dr.!'.*.. while '' e minister took the posit'>.i that the| North would not'fight, and that the "war" would be ovet in sixty days. A touplftt of doggerel vr.'ch he quoted showed the prevailing idea "The cornstalk liddle and thc rusty gun. Wil make thc plauged yankees run." The picture drawn by tho speaker showing thc terror and the anxiety cf the people when the distant noise or tattle could bc heard, was cuite vivid, and convinced his auditors that all tb? heroism was tot need at tho front. Hack-of this was the ever pi osent dread that when the onion armies ap proached the negroes would ' risc and murder the whites;" "*Be it said to their credit," said tho speaker, "there was no need for thia fear, for no more loyal body of people ever lived than the Southern slave during the war." In conclusion. Dr. Steel drew a beav ttful picture of thc South. He said there was small wonder that the North fought ?o hard to keep thc South from seceding for When God created the world he made the best part down in Dixie.

I desire to let tho voters know where I stand on the issues ot the approaching primary election. 1. I am in favor of a clean city, the moral tono of our town should bo the best of any city, and I favor putting good moral men in the vn rlouB places to bo lilied by tho incom ing city council. and uverthying should bo done that would promote should be done that would promote tho highett standard ot morals that It ia possible to attain. 2. White I nm In favor of an econo mical admtnisratlon, 1 am also tn '?iv or of a progressive administration. I am in favor of ONE MAN for a ONK MAN'S job, and I am oposed to any one Man':; position, being Oiled by more than one mau at the expense of the taxpayers. 3. I um in favor of a clean city, and to obtain this lt will be necessary to extend the sewer system, and thia should be done In preference to work of a less Important nature, and the whole city should be sewered as soon as practical. 3. I am in favor of Municipal Own ership for the ahbattoir, and the in spection of ali foods, and the city should continue to keep an inspector that will at all times safe guard the city and its citizens from using meats or other provisions that are unwhole some and dangerous to the health of, the people. 4. I am in favor of efficient Are and police departments, and both of these departments should bc maintained In keeping with, the city'* progresa. 6. Doubtless you all know the po sition I have taken on the franchise. I am BOW, and have always been op posed to a forty year franchise of any kind, and especially of water or light franchise; to any individual or corporation. I believe the Franchise granted to The Southern Public Util ities Company, was irregularly Ille gally passed by a majority of tho present City Council; and over the protest of the. minority members of said council. And if r am elected I shall favor having the. present Fran chise set asid<ror annulled. And then the future management of the water, and light questions should he left for the voters of the city to determine fer themselves.
