ing gives the following particulars Of

Md. Mr. Jethro Smith, while at his
farmhouse, short distance from the

flying in and out ef the woods. and
went 70 the locality 10 end what Il
meant. On reaching secluded spot

He concluded that the corpse was
that OF a suicide. a piece of rope
was around the neck Of the deceased,
and another piece Of cope on a limb
about eight feet above the ground
As the body was 60 decomposed, and
the indications pointing to suicide, no
inquest was held There were sew
eral theories as to bow the body came
to the ground. Some thought it bad
hung there long enough for the rope
to rot; others that when the deceased
jumped from the limb the rope, and
bis neck broke, at tie same time.
Others coDjectured that the rope
broke and the moose about the neck
held.tightly enough to cause strangula-
ton. Alongside the corpse was q
black Derby hat, dark coat, drab vest
and pants. The pockets contained
nothing but pocket-book, in which
were tbirty-six cents. The man was
bald, five feet seven inches tall. 1t
could not be decided whether be was
white or colored. The remains were
buried on the spot at the expense of
the county. tits thought deceased was
picker, who came over to work for
the truckers No one has been miss
ed from the locality, nor have inquir-
les been made for any one.n

Local optiou.


The GAZETTE aud Mail OF Fort
Worth are opposed 10 local option in
that city. Many OF the readers OF
THE GAZETTE are surprised at its bit
ter opposition.- Brady Sentinel.
THE GAZETTE opposes local option
for Fort Worth because such prohibit
lion would not be general, aud there.
fore would be hurtful to the interests
OF this city, without corresponding
benefit to the cause OF prohibition,
Again, the mannor In which II Is in
tended to force local option on Fort
Worth Is most unjust. Every precinct
in the county outside the city has local
option, each precinct having decided
for Itself TO choose local option without
interference from Fort Worth or any
other precinct, Fort Worth does not
want local prohibition because OF the
material injury TO be thereby inflicted
on the city, and whenever the question
comes up for decision this precinct
will defeat IL by vote OF four or five
to one. Then 1t is the ProhibitioDists
propose to petition for county cleo
ton In order that country precincts
may force local option on the
city. THE GAZETTE is opposed to any
such movement, for, until prohibition
becomes general throughout the state,
and as long as license obtains In any
city In the state, that city which for
bids the sale Of liquors will be hurt,
and those other cities which do not
prohibit will be in the same degree
benefited, wlthou, good to the cause.
The demands OF cities are not the
demands OF rural communities, and as
long rs liquors are sold In any one
city In the state, they should be sold
In all unless men seek 10 injure one
city In the interest Of some other city.
THE GAZETTE Is for Fort Worth first,
last and all the time, and will not ad.
vocate hurt to the city, especially
when in the general result no good to
prohibition Is thereby accomplished.

IN ANSWER to an inquiry which
may interest Il number of our readers,
II may bs stated that the Pantheon,
where the remains Of Victor Hugo re-
pose, WAS begun TO be erected by the
French government about the middle
OF the last century. 1t was not com.
pleted until 1901, when amidst the
revolutionary times Of that period II
was dedicated a. a Pantheon to com.
memorate the memory OF the illustri
Gus dead Of Fran ce. In 1922 it was
transformed into church for the
time, but was estored TO a Pantheon
and 80 remained until 1853, when IL
was again devoted to church uses and
so remained until the death OF Hugo
when II became necessary TO re.secu
larIze 1t. Voltairs, Rosseau and Others
