Let Us Prove It. PHONE 42S Host of Friends Gather at Funeral of Business Man To Pay Respects Hundreds of sorrowing friends gathered at the home on West Capitol street Friday aftrenopn to pay their last sad respects to their friend, J. R. Sandefur, whose death after a brief illness here was so great a shock to all. A man whose reputation and character were unblemished and whose love for his fellowman, his family and his God.

werj outstanding attributes, was the way the minister described his earthly accomplishments. Dr. H. M. King, pastor of the Calvary Baptist church, of which deceased was a devout member, conducted the obsequies' and the eulogy he delivered was indeed beautiful, containing words which must have meant solace to those bereft ones whose very hearts were crushed in the knowledge of his death.

J. R. Sandefur was 39 years of age, one of the most promising of the younger business men of the state. He was stricken about a week ago while traveling in Tennessee for a lumber concern, wTith which he held a responsible position. Three operations and every power known to medical science rwere brought into use in an effort to prolong his life.

But to no avail. The funeral of J. R. Sandefur will long be remembered. Seldom have so many friends gathered to pay their respects to a friend in Jackson.

Seldom, if-ever, have more kind expressions been spoken for the relief of loved ones, and seldom have there been such beautiful flo ral tributes offered by friends as a mark of respect and esteem, than which marked the burial of this citizen. Mr. Sandefur was a 32 degree Scottish Rite Mason. Shriner, Ki-wanian, and true citizen. He is survived by his widow and one daughter, one brother and two sisters.

The condolences of the entire city and of many friends over the state and adjoining states, go out to these loved ones in their hour of greatest trial. dailyIsnamed prohibition head Formal Announcement Made of Appointment for South Mississippi Formal announcement was made at Washington yesterday by Assistant Secretary Andrews, of the ap-ponitment of Maze H.

She has accepted a more desirable position with the Mississippi Power and Light company and in view of circumstances -the board has agreed not to stand in the way.

"We will have a hard time finding as capable and efficient worker as Miss Rod-gers has been. She has the best wishes of every member of the baord in her new field of work," said. Miss Rodgers has been very active in the interest of her work since she assumed the office several years ago. All over the county can be seen results of her activity and work. The statehome demonstration department have informed the board supervisors that another agent will be secured who will step into the place Miss Rodgers has left va cant.

Who this will be has not been decided yet. A mark of appreciation for the work of Miss Rodgers was expressed in one of the most complimentary letters, addressed to the Mississippi Power and Light company by the beard, over the signature of Mr. Puryear as presiding officer.

Little, local manager of. the Liggett's Store, was delighted with the result of the special sale for the first two days and anticipates an even better sale today. He reports this the biggest one cent sale ever held in Jackson, notwithstanding the fact that it has one more day to run. This was due partly to the fact that these bargains are so well known that it is only necessary to make the announcement in order to get a big volume of trade, but much credit is also due the manner in which Little prepared for the sale, and the splendid way in which he cared for the rush. He had rearranged the entire stock, decorated, displayed and put in convenient order practically every article in the store, which made it possible to "shop" in the quickest possible time, and in the most satisfactory manner.

In addition to this Mr. Little engaged a number of salespeople, securing only those who are accus-' twiiivu nuunift uu -iirVU tIlU JIl this way he had a perfectly organized force, and one capable of caring intelligently for almost any rush. Mr. Little is very much pleased with Jackson and the reception that has been given those in charge of the "Liggett Drug Store" formerly the Turner-Sevier Drug Store, cor ner Capitol and Roach streets. Local Architect To Build School N.

W. Overstreet, local architect, has been selected by the board of trustees of the Hattiesburg schools to draw plans for a new building there and to be supervising architect in its building. The following from the Hattiesburg American regarding the selection of Mr. Overstreet will be of local interest: At a meeting today of the board of trustees of Hattiesburg schools, N. W.

Overstreet, of Jackson, was selected as the supervising architect for the new building, and for the repairs and additions to be made in the present structures. The board is of the opinion that a most capable man has been secured for this important work, as Mr. Overstreet has drafted, the plans and supervised the erection of some of the finest and largest buildings in various parts of this and other states. Another gratifying feature, members of the board say, is found In the fact that Mr. Overstreet is a home man, was born near Esta-butchle, the son of H.

H. Overstreet, and spent all his early life and young manhood in the county. His reputation as an unusually efficient architect is widespread. fc Illinois, Ohio, Indiana, Missouri, Tennessee and Kansas were the states represented by which passed through Jackscn yesterday, most of them homeward after trips through tho south and southeast, to the gulf coast in particular.
