4 young man, evidently from
tie country, came up Queen street
yesterday with majestic tread and
an Independents air. lie seemed
oblivious Of all around him, and
marched along as if he didn't care
whether school kept or not. Com
ing to the corner of Queen and
Martin. his steps were somewhat
zig-zag, and steadying himself
against the pump on the corner of
Queen and Martin, he took out his
watch, and casting his eyes up at
the Lutheran church steeple, seem
ed intent on comparing the time,
He thought he was looking at the
town clock. We have no comments
to make. The young man was off
his bearings. The presumption is
that when man attempts to set
his watch by a church steeple, his
head is not exactly level. This
young man may have been all
right, but circumstances were rath-
er against him.

Suicide.

On Monday afternoon last about
g O'Clock, Will Kennedy, a boy
some twelve years of age, residing
about four miles from Cairo, Rit-
chic county, committed suicide by
hanging himself to q tree I've
iacts OF the case, as we learn, are
these, He was sent to the mill
with some corn, and on his way
one of the bags bursted, scattering
its contents over the road. He re-
turned home, stated what had hap
pened, and was severely repri-
manded by his parents. His bro
theirs began taunting him by call
ing him "corn-spiiler" and other
names, at which it is supposed he
became SO exasperated as to lead
him to commit the horrible deed.
His absence was not noticed until
near night, his parents supposing
he had gone to some secluded spot
to give vent to the violent temper
he possessed. About nine o'clock
that night the family, with several
of the neighbors, started out in
quest of him, and after about two
hours search, he was discovered
hanging to the limb of a tree on
the premises. He had nailed
strap to the limb and fastening it
about his neck had let himself
down. His face was terribly
scratched and the front of his shirt
torn, bearing evidence of a hard
struggle. He was left hanging I'M
til s o'clock next morning, it be-
ing considered by them unlawful
TO cut him down until viewed by
the coroner - P0rkerSblwg Item

Chances Old Maids Have
Rum of Never Getting Mar
vs1AA

"Never give up the ship" was
Lord Napier's motto; and the old
maids motto is "never give up the
idea of getting married" There is
no reason why they should. The
chances may sometimes look very
desperate, but "while there is life.
there is hope" We remember, in
this connection, the story of Miss
Annie Green, a celebrated English
lady, who lived some two hundred
years ago. She was, in her youth.
IA very prepossessing girl, and had
q reasonable number of beauX,
but for some reason, no offers; but
when she was past thirty she was
unfortunate enough to be tried for
murder at the Oxford Assizes, in
1920. She was found guilty and
sentenced to be hung, and on the
IA of December she was hung; and
after the doctors had pronounced
her dead she was cut down and
put into coffin, but such was the
rage against her that the specta-
tors inflicted farther and horrible
brutalities upon her body.
Being rufused Christian burial.
Sir William Petty, DR.. Writers
and DIR. Clarke then procured her
body for dissection, and having
laid it on the deal-board they per-
ceived signs of life in it, and full
consciousness. This madeso great
an impression upon the commune
ty in which she lived that she was
declared innocent of the crime Of
murder. In few months after
this she was married to q respect
able yeoman ard became the
mo Their of three children. Again
we repeat the comforting words:
"While there is life there is hope"
