appears from the scene, and Madam
Franklin enters.
Neither Mr.. Dayton nor the servants
would have suspected, from the digni-
fed department of the housekeeper
when they returned at evening, Of what
strange frea4ks she had been guilty.
The housekeeper, as usual, when Mr..
Dayton was alone, sat at the table, It
had commenced to rain violently, and
the weather had grown suddenly cold.
Mr.. Dayton, as he had done occasion
ally, invited her to the library, where a
cheerful fire burned in the CRATE. He
read the letters and papers which he
had brought with him frcm town, while
she knitted.
An hour Or more passed III silence;
indeed, the housekeeper seldom spoke
except when asked question. At
length Mr.. Dayton looked up to her
and said abruptly:
Yours must be lonely life, madam.

how long since you lost your husband p
Two hands suspended their employ

sympathetic countenance there was

Through the courtesy of our
friends j. w. Baughn, we were the
recipients. on Tuesday last, OF the
finest, largest, whitest cabbage we
have ever seen grown in this coun-
try. 1t was brought in by Mr.. w.
r. Parker, who lives at the Burns
place, four miles distant. Mr.. Par
ker has our thanks for the same ::
and when we tell our neighbors it
only weighed 15l pounds, they will
think 1t was large enough for a
small party. By the way, Brother
Parker, suppose you bring in few
more samples about the 18th of De-

scarce. We may be able to trade

tire paper in exchange. Don't for

Last saturdag afterDoon the an

Last Saturday afternoon the quiet
of our village was dispelled by
rapid succession of pistol reports.
They seemed to be somewhere in
the direction oil the depot. We i'm
suediately started in that direction,
and saw a multitude of negro wo-
men meeting us and crying and
screaming. On inquiry they said
DIR. Veazy had killed brother Car
ter. On reaching the spot and
making some investigation the fact
seemed to be that some words had
passed of an angry character be-
tween the Doctor and the preacher,
then canes were used Carriers
stick soon broke; then he drew his
pistol; the doctor meantime drew
his pistol. Tie firing was rapid.
Carter fred his derineer, slightly
cutting Weary finger. Weary fired
several shots, one striking his an
tagonist's foot, another entered the
left side just below the heart, and
penetrated the cavity of the abdO>
men. Carter died Monday night.
He had magic control over the
negro race. and had his efforts been
directed exclusively to lead them in
the paths of virtue and religion he
might have achieved much good
for his caste. DIR. Veazy is quite a
young man, impulsive and high
strung. 1t is said he has left the
vicinity. If 80, we think it only fol
a time.-Forcst Register.

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT.
CANTON, Nov. 10, 1875.

| OANION, NOV. 10, 1917.
At a called meeting of Evergreen
Loo e, No. 80. [. o. o. F., held at
the Lodge room, the following pre-
a,nb!e and resolutions were unani-
mously adopted
When the good and useful in any
of the various avocations of life
are stricken down by the hand OF
death all good men who were ac-
Quainted with them while living,
feel the effects of the blow as if il
were a personal or undivided calam-
ity. And it is just and proper that
it should be SO. The true, honest,
earnest men of the world, those who
contribute to its material and last
ing interest, are SO few. whose So
| cial, moral and Industrial influences
are widely known and felt, and
who, in every act and purpose,
have at heart the good of society at
large, should, when departing, hand
down to their successors the bene-
fits of their example, which should
be taken advantage OF, initiated,
and never forgotten.
Praise, eulogium, and the sincere
tribute of surviving friends, the
storied urn and monumental bust"
cannot affect the dead. They are
silent and listless in the grave, and
naught but the fiat of Divinity can
disturb them.
But still their virtues should be
prominently kept before the public
eye, and VEGAS members of an order
tOiling for the good of humanity,
should point their Survivors to their
stainless example and urge its imi
tation. While for our brother, ID.
Ii. Otto, who has been cut down i'll
his career of use. illness, scarcely
beyond the meridian of life, we do
not claim the title of greatness, i'll
it's worldly acceptation, We feel that
we can truthiuliy say that he was
/" bright and shining light" in our
order, a good and useful citizen, IA
genuine patriot, sincere Christian
and tue gentleman, all of which
traits were exemplified i'll his up
right lite.
His life was replete with good
works, and with heartfelt sympathy |
for his sOrrOwing wife and children, |
with tears of love and tenderness |
we bedew his grave, and leave his |
memory, name and good deeds as
an example to men, and as a bright |
aid beautiful star in the coronet of |
Mississippi Odd Fellowship.
6 Rest, brother, rest thy work is done;
Lite's conflict o'ef thy victory won."
ResOlUed, That in token of our es-
TEEN for our deceased brother, we
wear the usual badge of mourning
thirty days.
Resolred, That the foregoing pre-
amble and resolutions be furnished
the city papers, with the request
that they publish the same, and
that a copy be furnished to the
widow of our deceased brother, and
that they be spread upon the min
ntes of our lodge.
