The discontinuance of the mail
route from Colfax to Fishville, and
shortening the route SO as to run
only to Ada, about one-half its for
mer length, causes inconvenience
and delay to large number of the
citizens of Grant parish, who de-
sire direct communication to and
from the parish seat 1t neces-
states delay of 80 or 40 hours
between the people of Fishville
and Pollock, and the people of Ada,
Shaw and Colfax, owing to the i'm
perfect connection between the
four different carriers through
which their correspondence is car
ried on. To avoid delay petitions
are being circulated to close the
gap of IL miles between Ada and
Pollock, on the H. c. A. & N. rail-
road, thus accomplishing in three
hours a distance that it now takes
two or three days for a letter to
reach its destination in.

Death of Frazier Mccain.

Editor Colfar Chronicle:
The illness of Frazier. eldest son of Maj.
H. V. Mccain, Montgomery, La, ter
minated fatally Sunday morning. Dec
II, 1892, about o'clock. Although his
health has not been good for..some time
he refused to give up his daily duties
until about ten days before his death.
He received every attention that the ten
der care Of his relatives and friends and
the trained knowledge Of the best physi-
clans could provide; but7.all was vain.
God, in his wisdom, saw fit to call him
hence. 1t is impossible for human wis
dom to fathom the motives of omnipo-
tence;-it is hard even for christians to
bear, meekly, Gods chastenings; but, re-
membering that "He doeth all things
we'll" let us bow, in humble submission
to his will. 1.-THE Lord giveth and TAX
eth at his own good pleasure, blessed be
the name of the Lord"
Whilst our friendZwas cut off in the
freshness and vigor Of young manhood
we feel that he has not lived in vain. The
influence of his noble nature will no
doubt continue to be felt by his former
associates.
In many respects he was noble young
man. Uniformly courteous and obliging,
his acquaintance soon became his
friends. Obedient and affectionate to
his parents, considerate and thoughtful
to his brothers and sisters, his family
justly regarded him Us strong support
and worthy guide. Alas! human strength
is as naught in Gods handsl He has
taken your loved one,s o, Borrowing pa
rents, but He can give you strength suffi-
Gent unto your need. Be comforted
look forward to meeting with your boy
in the better land. He is no longer
among us in person but the influence o.
the quiet gentlemanly Frazier is still fell
in our hearts and his memory shall abide
there. FRIEND.

~
At a murder trial held some wears
ago in an Irish assize court, a curl
GUS incident occurred. The accused
was charged with the murder of a
man with whom he had been at en-
nifty for a long time. 1t seemed that
ON the day the crime was committed
the two men had met at a race
meeting, and blows were exchanged.
between them, and again on the
same evening at a tavern, where the
interference Of some of those pres
ent alone prevented another fight.
The prisoner vowed vengeance
against his enemy, and was seen to
follow him when he left the tavern.
The body Of the 7ictim was found.
the next morning with the face so
b%arbarously mutilated that the man
could be identified only by his dress.
The circumstantial evidence against
the prisoner was so strong that there
was no doubt of his} guilt. How
ever. he was asked, as a matter Of

Tint Tronlleso,m. X.

There have been many estimable
people whose great stumbling-block
has been photography, and it has
sometimes proved an almost insur-
mountable obstacle.
There was once in Eastern Ten
ncssee a judge we'll versed in the
law, but entirely self-cducated, who
had this same obstacle of orthog-
raphy to contend with all his days.
I'm early life he had lived in Knox
willie, and for a long time insisted
upon spelling the name Noxville.
His friends at last educated him to
the point of adding the X: so thor
;oughly, in fact, did he learn this
lesson that when, a few years after
ward, he removed to Nashville,
nothing could prevent him from
spelling the name Knashville. !
After a few years residence there,
the Judge moved again, this time to
M.urfrcesboro. One day he sat down
to write his first letter from this
place. He scratched his head in,
perpleXity for a moment, and finally
exclaimed:
well, I'll give it up! How in the
world can they spell the name of this
place with Il 'K?'"

form. what he had 10 saw in his de

form, what he had 10 say in his del
Tense. To the CONSERVATION of the
court. he called the murdered man,
and the supposed victim came for
ward. 1t was then apparent that
another man had been murdered.
The Identification by dress was
vague. as the peasantry of the dis
trict all wore the same description Of
clothes. The presumed victim, havl
ing heard Of his enemy's arrest, had
retired to another part Of the couns
try; but, his better nature prevail
ing, he had returned to save his old
foe from death. The case was quite
clear; the prisoner was innocent.
The Judge told the jury that it was
not necessary to charge them, and
asked them to give in a verdict Of
Not guilty."
The foreman requested permission
to retire, which was granted. The
court was in an excited state. The
jury returned after three hours,
when the foreman handed in tho
verdict Guilty" The Court was
astonished.
Guilty" said his lordship. "Of
what is he guilty?"
"Hc did not murder that man, my
lord," said the foreman, "but he
| stole a donkey from me two years
ago."

@You don't know how glad 1 am to
see you intcrestedin this noble work."
said the rector, addressing the Chill
dren's Foreign Mission Society.
"These poor heathens know nothing
of ways of life. They live in
rude huts, dress in the skins of ami
mails and never go to school or to
church. They have never heard the
blessed gospel, and you can help to
spread the good news among them.
"You can scarcely form an idea of
what they are or how they live," he
continued: "Why, children, these
poor people r as black-as black

the ace Of spades"

Information Under D.nicultles.

Handsome building over there.
Can you tell me what it is, sir?:n,
asked a New York Times reporter of
a Harlemite whom he saw leaning uli
against a gas-post.
The Harlemite made no reply but
began fishing in his overcoat pockets.
Presently he handed out little slate.
One corner of the slate he put in his
mouth and then went fishing with
both hands for a slate-pencil. 1t
took him probably a minute and a
half to find it, though to the reporter
the time seemed much longer. The
pencil found, the man spat on his
slate and rubbed it clean with the
tails of his coat. Then he wrote
something on the slate and handed
it to the reporter. The reporter took
the slate and read what the man had
written. :
"Im a d. M Write what you wish
to say on this slate"
The reporter took the pencil and
wrote: f:
II suppose ID. M stands for deaf

"Yes."
"The n where they arc just paint
ing the front doors?:"
"Yes, that's it. What is it?" wrote
the reporter, congratulating himself
upon having made the Harlemite
understand what he wished to know.
by this time the slate had become
so covered with pencilings that there
was no place whatever upon which
the llarlemitc could write an am
swer. So he spat on the slate again
and polished it off once more with his
coat-tails. Then he wrote:
"Don't know"
