Died

At the closing of the polls on intervening of the 5th inst. our beloved friend, Bill Manning, esq. His remains were laid away under the dogfennel by the democratic club at Wheatley at twilight on the 9th.
 A post mortem developed the fact that for some years this poor mortal had beeu out of whack. His jaw, from constant use, had became paralyzed. Ills brain had turned over In the cranium and was wrong side up. so that the whole world appeared to him topsy turvy.
 Four years ago he was taken with a peculiar disease called Union Laborism. n This affected his mind till he imagined h was in the race this summer for commits sioner of agriculture. mines and manufact- ures. In lucid moment at the closing of the polls Bro. Manning found he was not, as he had imagined, in the race, and i'm mediately collapsed and expired in great agony of soul. His place will be hard to fill. The following epitaph was placed upon his mound: Here lies the last of Bill Manning. He died of overdose P. F." STRAIGHT.

Towns seem never to have supposed that their accessibility to the suburban public was matter of any importance except to the country people. A few towns-very few, be it known--have had the public spirit to enter boldly upon the work of penetrating the trib- utary country with good roads. Such a course should and probably will be met with hearty response and co operation from the farmers and will tend to establish that comity which will prove mutually bene- ficial.

Death of George Laugh.nghouse

Death of George Laugh,nghouse.
 The community was immeasurably shocked at o'clock last Friday even ing by the intelligence that George, the 17-year-old son of Mfr. and Mrs. F. Laughinghouse, had been drowned in St. Francis river at Madison. He, in company with Percy Eldridge and Harry Knight, had gone to the river to take bath. None of the boys could swim. They went out on d sandbar, and while playing about George stepped into hole and disappeared His companions were too far away to render assistance, even had they been able to swim. The unfortunate youth was seen to rise once, then sank and did not appear again. Word of the calamity was sent hastily to this city and searching party went down at once to recover the body. After con- siderable search this was effected, and the remains brought to this city and taken to the home of s. H. Mann and prepared for interment The funeral services were held at the Methodist church Saturday afternoon in the pres- ence of one of the largest assemblages ever gathered there on similar mis- sion. The burial took place in the family lot in Mt. Vernon cemetery.
 Young Laughinghouse was employed in the real estate and insurance agency Of Taylor & Izard, and was regarded as youth of unusual promise. He was highly esteemed, not only by compan- ions of his own age, but by the busi- ness men of the community.
 His parents were prostrated with grief. The blow falls upon them with redoubled force, as it is but a short while ago that they lost their eldest son. They have the sincere sympa- thy of the entire community in their terrible bereavement.

DIED.


 One of the saddest deaths it has ever been our lot to chronicle was that of Tiny, the 9year-old son of Mir. Tom Hester, which occurred last Sun day morning, the 4th inst. The little fellow had only been i'll two days. He was one of the brightest children we have ever met and our hearts go out in sympathy to the bereaved father. He was taken to Bible Union burying ground and laid beside his mother, who died in 1888. Tender hands pre- pared the little body for it's last long sleep, and it was taken to the resi- dence of his uncle, w. II. Aldridge, whence on Monday it was taken away for interment. Very few knew that little Tiny was ill until the announce ment of his death was made.
 After an illness of only few days, R. w. Prichett died at his home near this city on Saturday night last and was buried in the Forrest City ceme- tery on Monday.

Want Matters Evened Up.

The General Grievance Committee Of
the Brotherhood OF Trainmen, of the
b. Il o., will demand that there shall be
an equalization of pay and working
hours for the trainmen of the same
grade over the entire system. West Of
the Ohio river there is no complaint at
all, but east Of the river, the committee
say, the men believe they have just
cause for complaint. The committee
will point out to General Manager Odell
that the work west OF the river is
much easier than that required to be
done east Of the river. Out West the
road is level, but in the East the men
encounter hill after hill, and cannot
see train even at short distance.
The men in the East get less money
than those in the West. The object Of
the committee will be to put the train
men Of the East on equality with those
in the West. The men included in the
committees investigation are tiagmen,
brakemen, baggage masters, conductors,
switchmen, and yardmen. One OF the
committee stated that in some cases
there was a difference Of nearly one
dollar in a days pay in favor Of the men
west Of the Ohio river.

sIde-Tracklng Morgantown.

Under this caption the Morgantown
NelO Dominion jumps upon President
Roberts, OF the Pennsylvania Company,
for his statement that If the rights OF
way are given he will build road from
Waynesbarg to Warrington and Clarks-
burg, and make the Washington and
Waynesburg standard gauge. The
Dominion says:
"The President Of the Pennsylvania
Company evidently regards promises of
this kind as very cheap, and il not full
filed as costing nothing. What his
special object in making them may be
is not always apparent. 1t operates,
however, to prevent those who want the
road from depending on their own re-
sources or seeking aid in other direc-
tions and thus indefinitely delays action.
1--WE do not believe that President
Roberts intends to build the Manning
ton road, although IL is very promis-
ing enterprise. IL is about the shortest
and most direct line from Pittsburg to
West Virginia, and would give that
Company very fair chance to share
the traffic Of the State with the b. & o.
However, Morgantown Is not in
terested in such road, except to wish
for her own sake tnat it may not be
built. 1t would have the effect to side
track this town so far as the upper end
of the county is concerned. Indeed, the
upper end OF the county would be so
diverted from the county seat by such
a road that it would soon result in a
movement to divide the county, and
make Warrington the county seat of the
territory and such other slice as they
could cut from Marion"
