Died by Her Own Will.

Yesterday the sad intelligence was
received in this city that Mrs. A. H.
Grier, late of this city, but more re-
Gently of Floresville, sulcided near the
latter place, leaving two fine children
to mourn her loss. Mrs. Grier was
formerly Miss Halamuda, and her
HUSBAND died two years ago while
travelling from Floresville to this city.
The deceased, to effect her object,
drank two ounces of carbolic acid, and
suffered a horrible death. She was
doubtless insane when the rash act
was committed.

ARE THE PAPERS BULLDozED 2
And Why is 1t the Names and Do
ings Of Hilarious Officers
are Not Pub
lished /?

inRs Of Hilarious OFFICERS
are Not Pub
lished?
A minister said to a LIGHT repre-
resentative this morning: "Why do
not the papers publish the names and
write up in full any officer when he
becomes disorderly and breaks the
law? I'll bet you would write it up
in full if it was preacher"
The reporter replied: Preachers
don't generally fight, and the law
does not arm him with a big six
shooter, and allow him q half dozen
deputy bull-dozers in order that he
might come down and kill off the
aforesaid newspaper man." Then
again the Texas libel law is framed
for The benefit of black-legs and dis
reputable persons who never had any
reputation until the newspaper makes
a martyr of them. Then again the
district attorney and district judge,
are both we'll informed Of what is GO
ing on, why don't they take a hand
in the moral reformation of the Of
ficers? And, the preachers, too, gen.
orally know what is going on in town,
for there is hardly congregation,
but has a gossiping member? The
preachers might read out the names
of these bad men in their pulpit and
then let the newspapers publish few
of their remarks. The LIGHT is
chuck full of patriotism, and might
be willing to die for it's country, but
is not anxious to hunt up fights with
every black-leg in town, and get Grip
pied up or have all eye punched out
just to satisfy the appetite of GER
tain element who like to read sensa-
ton, but are generally too cowardly
to assume any responsibilities, or pay
one cent toward our funeral expenses.

A Wrong Payment of Warrants

The discovery was made in the city clerks
Office. yesterday. that two unauthorized persons
had procured warrants from that officer, and
had them casked by the county treasurer. The
first warrant belonged to NJ. Murray & Co.,
lumber dealers, and for SIS. 30. and the Sec
ond belonged to S. c. Dawson. and was for
SIS. 40. Under the present system of paying, a
bill is left at the city clerks Office. and war
rant drawn the county treasurer for the
amount The warrant is handed out to any one
who calls for it, but should not be paid at the
treasurer's Office unless Endorsed by the person
whom it is payable presented by him in
person. Yesterday Murray & Co. and Mr.. Daw-
son called for their warrants, and it was found
that they had been taken out by some one on the
18th Of October. Inquiry was made at the
county treaaurers Office, and it was found that
they had both been paid without having been
Endorsed. Mr.. Loftin who does most of the
paying himself, does not rememb Der to whom the
money was paid AS he was derelct in not re-
curing the warrants to be Endorsed, he
promises to make good the amount.

room in various places also many useful
and beautiful presents, that he had been the
recipient of during the holidays, many of which
came from his employees, both in this city and
from distance, consisting of fine wall orna-
naent fine gold pen and holder. two boxes of fine
silk handkerchefs, fine paper weight, and
many other articles too numerous to men

fletely taken by surprise when he stepped into

Held for Grand jury action.

Ella Loftin, who, having unwarranted pos
session of Carl Won Hake's horse and buggy, was
arrested at Nobesville Thursday, had prelimi
nary trial before the Mayor yesterday morning
She was held for grand jury action. She told
such disconnected and i'm probable story that
the officers inclined to believe that she stole
the horse and buggy herself while attired in
mems clothes. She was met the evening of the
theft few miles west of the city by gentle
mar who says she alone. The officers have
been successful in getting her history, through
some of her friends mere in Indianapolis and
learn that she is the woman who arrested
with the Upton counterfeiters several years ago.
Her home was originally in Florida but she
. came to Indiana several years ago, and although
frequently arrested she was always acquitted.

caddies, for plug tobacco We have own
box-cars for shipping, and had capacity of
$500 boxes a day when wa were making q

are encouraging our old patrons to do their own
box-making. A year two ago we supplied
large part of the trade with boxes. having
almost no competitors. in Richmond, Va; Louis
VILE KY, and st. Louis. Mo.
"Caddies are made of sycamore wood for sew
eral reasons. In the first place, being water
wood, it is tasteless and will not affect the flavor
of the tobacco. Tobacco boxed in pine would
have the flavor of matches and poor sale. But
it is necessary that tobacco be put in hardwood
boxes, which can be made stronger than the
soft woods will permit, and are less susc eptible
to injury. Another consideration in favor OF
sycamore is that it is cheap and useless for
great many things The lumber soon decays
when left with the elements and will warp the
head off \ nail split the plank if exposed to
sunshine and moisture"

KEEPING HOLIDAYS

The keeping of holidays ought to be one of the
comm andments-is one of the commandments If
we only knew it. We Americans get too little
recreation at best Life is one long drive and
grind. This fearful fact falls on all.
BY law and by custom certain days are set
apart as holidays. They hailed with Joy by
the children. by those whose daily life is daily
work, and by all men and women who realize that
the life is more .ha1 meat.
But are we not in danger of losing the holidaysf
There is a gradual encroachment of business
upon them. More and more of the factories
work on as usual The railroad business is rather
more than less on holidays.
In the Wholesale stores number OF the clerks
and book-keepers expected to be on hand for
a part OF the day at least.
Some Of the retail stores close at noon; others
are open all day. Little by little the day is en-
croached upon until but little is left for the rest
and recreation so much needed.-Rev. o. q. Nc
Culloch, in the News
In this wholesale and retail store employees
are expected to be on hand holidays. I'VE
know how it is ourselves" We have been en-
ployes. Now that employers find
ample time for business in what is left Of tho
year after taking out the holidays. Therefore,
good friends, don't come to our store on Monday.
