HEARN MEMORIAL SERVICES.

Blue Mountain, Miss., Oct 30. -- A large audience met in the college hail here yesterday afternoon to attend the service in memory of the lamented S. L. Hearn, who died at his home in West Point, Miss., on Wednesday last Mr, Hearn was a man of very large philanthropy, but much of his charity was done in such a quiet way that his best friends did not know of it. After the death of his daughter, Mrs. Carrie Hearn Hurt, who had graduated from Blue Mountain College, he built in her memory, on the college campus here, a nice, large brick building, where girls of limited means board at cost and attend school. For quite a number of years he has been in other ways quietly helping several girls of limited means to meet their expenses here. These things had drawn him very near to the hearts of the people of Blue Mountain and many moist eyes yesterday testified to the grief that was brought to the school and the community by his death. Some very tender talks were made at the meeting; many acts of kindness never mentioned before in public were spoken of, and touching resolutions were adopted.

In the death of S. L, Hearn the editor lost one of his best friends. The old saying, "a friend in need is a friend indeed," was clearly exemplified in his relations with Mr. Hearn. Many times have special favors been granted by him that helped to smooth the way for a struggling fellow citizen. But beyond this, the editor appreciated him for his true manhood, his sterling integrity and noble characteristics of mind and heart. Such men are few and their loss is deeply felt. A GREAT AND GOOD MAN GONE. (From The Baptist Record, Nov. 9, 1906.)
