When current of air
Carried off her back hair;
She only said, Good gracious muay."
There lived in the town OF St. CroiA
A slang-using, rip-tearing boix;
He is rough, CROUCH and tough,
And won't take any ''gough.,,
But travels on "What der We soix?"
The bride was led up the broad aisle,
Got up in the most killing staisle;
When ASKED if she'd he

She promptly replied: II should

For there many dept

DaI Hawkins.

Dal Hawkins, who killed young Miller in a prize fight at San Francis co on Saturday, was we'll known in Tombstone in early days. His father was wholesale liquor dealer and bis mother moved in the best society. They were both pillars of the Episco- pal church and sang in the choir. MT. Hawkins died after leaving Tomb stone. Mrs. Hawkins made her debut as concert singer at the Oriental saloon in this city, which caused con- sternation in the ranks of the 400. Her engagement here did not last long and the family moved to California. Mrs. Hawkins is now in Yuma singing in one of the prominent saloons. She was always devoted to her children and her ambition in life seemed solely to see them educated and becoEae use full citizens.

Why Wear Mourning

Poplarville Free Press: Ever
since we have been old enough to
reason on any subject, our ideas in
regard to wearing mourning have
been very similar to the following
as expressed by the North Ameri-
can Review:
"The custom is outworn; it is an
anachronism ir the nineteenth GEN.
fury. It is unchristian; it clouds
the spiritul significance of the res
direction with the ever present ex-
preston of temporal loss. It is
cruel. it forces helpless and lnno-
cent people into action which en-
tails privation and unnecessary suf-
fering. tits untruthful; it makes
false outward show of changes in
sentiment. And is essentially vul-
gar; for it presses private affairs
upon public notice; it thrusts
claims of fashion and frivolity up
on time which most greatly moves
the heights and debts of being; and
it forces its superficial worldliness
into the fercest throes which can
ever rend human nature. Why
then do we still wear mourning?"

ReducedrAcreage.

CThere is one thing cotton growers
will do we'll to consider and that il
the reports which are being already
very industriously circulated to the
effect that there will be q largely
reduced cotton acreage this year.
This thing is being 80 positively
and persistently announced that It
will have the very opposite effect.
Once fully convince the Southern
cotton grower that there is going
to be a largely reduced cotton acre
age. and right then and there he
proceeds to largely increase his
acreage under the mistaken idea
that he is little the smartest fell
low in his immediate section. His
neighbors all under the same false
impression, keep their mouth shut,
play Smart Aleck, too, and proceed
to plant more cotton than they ever
did before.
Then the cotton spinners, bulls,
and bears and spectators general
ly will stand off and laugh in their
sleeves at how easily they have
lured the cotton planter to his own
destruction. The Times sounds
the note of warning right here
and now: Men of the cotton region
don't you believe any of these
yarns which are being SO persis-
tently published about a largely
reduced acreage. This song will
be sung from now until planting
season is over, then the tune will
change, for it will be discovered by
hat time that the farmers and
planters, all believing the stories
# reduced acreage" have really
increased their acreage and are ssin
he soup" again. Thensthe tune

'rop is all marketed, when ssreduc-
