Death of James l.. White.

In the death of James l.. White, which
occurred on Saturday, July 4, the commun-
ity loses another well-knOwn and esteemed
citizen. Mr. White was born in Readsboro,
March ?, 1885, being the oldest of a family
of five children born to Levi AMI Josephine
(McCullis) White. He had four sisters,
two of whom are now living-Miss Eliza
beth l.. White and Mrs. ). VI. DonelsOn.
His death was due to the prevailing dis
ease, grip, which developed into pneu-
monia. Mr.. White and his sister Elizabeth
owned one of the best farms in town, to-
gether with real estate in Rcadsboro, and
Mr. Whites death throws great burden
upon Miss White. Mr.. White was strongly
attached to his home and during his life
time has never been absent to exceed a
week at a time. To our knowledge he was
never identified with any church. He was
not without faults, but he dealt honorably
and justly with his felowmen. The flu
neral was attended at his late residence on
Wednesday, Rev. Mr.. Pierce officiating /;
burial near Arvine Boyd's.

MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEA RANCE
IN. Combs, who has been engaged
in the truck and dray business in
this city for nearly a year, has
ostonished his family and friends,
nv suddenly quitting his home with
out giving any reason for so doing,
or leaving any clue as to his place of
destination. He was last seen We'd
uesday evening. He left his home
in the third ward, without saying
ANYTHING to his family, and about
$3.50 in the evening going toward the
depot, with his coat upon his arm.
Whether he took the overland train
or walked into the country is not
known. His wife says she had no
idea he was going away, as he said
nothing about it, and she does not
know where he has gone. His sons
are also ignorant of any intention
on his part to leave and the family
are naturally surprised and uneasy
about him. Mr.. Combs is about 65
wears old, He has had some finaD-
c;ol trouble recently, but it was sup
n,sed he had settled it in satisfac-
torv manner. He had experienced
no family trouble, and his disap-
nesrauce seems unaccountable. He
had only little money when he
left.-Albany Herald.

My first impression of horse flesh as
an article of diet was that it would
have suffered no harm had it been fat
ter Subsequent experience demon
strated that leanness is an invariable
characteristic with it. 1t is of darker
color than beef, and of tougher fiber,
coming nearer to game In quality. In
fact, at dinner given by an enthusi-
astic hippophogist in London, at which
all the meats were horse of various
dressings, sampled it as venison and
as bear meat, and found the deception
plausible; and | have been credibly
informed that at many Paris restau-
rants horse flesh is actually served as
venison, so my experience with it may
be even wider than am aware. At
any rate the choice between the horse
steaks of The Honest Man cafe and
the so called beefsteaks of the Boule-
ward restaurants is more one of fashion
and custom that of actual taste. Al
