J. Joudon, an inmate of the Beauvolr soldiers' home, bad a narrow eBcape from death yesterday when In cleaning up the grounds at Reauvolr he found himself entangled in a den of snakes. Mr. Joudon was ct the northeastern section of the grounds cleaning underbrush In low, swampy spot when he noticed -several moccasin snakes of huge size. He at once proceeded to kill them when he found that there were moccasins on all sides and several appeared exceedingly vicious.

Mr. Joudon let go with the rebel yell and started lu, to clean out the snakes the property of the Mississippi penitentiary. The law provides that this shall be done once a year.

Dowhihg-Locke Company Personally, and as Governor of the State of Mississippi, 1 tender my sincere sympathy to you in the death of Judge Campbell. His services to the State of Mississippi have been incalculable.

Entering upon his career as Supreme Judge, his talents, energy and honesty won for him a place second to none in our state's glorious history. A great lawyer, a Christian gentleman, a good citizen all these qualities entitle him to that high respect entertained for him by our people. I feel that it is appropriate that the people of the state should In some manner, be allowed to show their deep respect for this very distinguished jurist, statesman and citUen, and would ask that his body be allowed to lie in state In the rotunda of the capitol so that the people of Mississippi may be allowed to view all that is mortal of and pay their last tribute of respect to him.
