The saddest occurrence that it has been
the common lot Of our people to mourn is
the untimely death of Mrs. Hattie Kay.
Without warning to her friends and Gu
tirely unsuspected, she quietly and unoo-
served left her residence where were her
sleeping children during the very early
to1rs Of Friday morning and fastened
away to place that should witness her
selfdestruction. No one knew when she
went, nor why, save herself and God.
Soon after the alarm Of her mysterious
absence was spread, and plan of search
was about to be put into effect, it was an.
nounced that two cadets, NJ. E. Geer and
T. R. Allgood, in voluntary search, had
discovered the body in G. W. McGee's fish
pond, where she had, it seems, deliber-

pleasant failures to manifest their gladness
at having them here. a large number
met them at the depot.
The Alliance cotton buyer was here to
meet the Alliance men with their cotton
Monday. Belton is such fine market
that the Alliance buyer soon realized the
fact that the merchants here intend to pay
full value fo1 any product placed on this
market-particularly cotton-and left his
fellow-Alliance men in the hands OF our
merchants, these having made better bids

farmers advantage. If trial is necessary
