DEATHS RECORD.
The Grim Reaper cuts Down Youth and
Old Age.

Old Age.
Charles w. Putney departed this life
at his home in the city, Friday Aug. o
at one O'Clock p. M, aged 70 years
Mr.. Putney and wife came TO Michigan
from Massachusetts about forty years
ago and lived with Uncle Lewis Ellis
for short time until the house on the
present location was built. They then
moved and have resided there since.
In the early days when this place
was called Patterson Mill, he was
superintendent of the Patterson lumber
yards and also OF the Wilson, Luther &
Wilson yards, later going with that
firm TO Luther for three years. In 1876
he united with the Christian church
here being received by Rev. ID. f..
Millard and was active in church work
for a number of years. He was much
respected as man, friend and
neighbor. c. Fl. Putney of Ionia is
the only surviving child. The daugh-
ter, Mrs. G. T. Ranney died number
of years ago.
Mr.. Charles w. Putney was born in
Ashfield, Mass, March 10, 1920, and
was twice married. His first wife, the
mother of Mr.. Charles Putney, of Ionia.
died many years ago at their home in
Massachusetts. Sometime afterward
he was married to Mrs. SarahsA. Rob
inson who survivesshim, and with
whom he lived most happily for about
45 years. Forty-two years ago the l1th
of August, this worthy couple became
residents of the township of Otisco and
during the building of their house,
found a pleasant home in the family of
Mr.. Lewis Ellis. When the house was
completed he took it for their perma-
nent residence and never sought
another 1t was TO them u happy
home. True it was not free from sick
ness and their only daughter, Carrie
was taken from them in early woman
hood, but ii was home of peace and
love, where contentment reigned
supreme.
BY the death of Mr.. Putney, this
community has lost good citizen, his
widow one,of the kindest of husbands.
and his son one of the best of fathers.
OF him it may be said truly, "He was
an honest man, kind and obliging
citizen and christian in the full mean
ing of that word z Only tmn of the
larya fa.,ilv eswhlch he was "A mS-. ,har
"a brother and sister-survive him.
Norman Putney. of Ronald, and Mrs.
Hill, of Chicago These with the wild
ow and son comprise the circle of near
relatives who mourn, but mot as those
without hope"
His funeral was attended by many of
the older citizens and others of his APP
preciative neighbors and friends at his
late home, on Sunday afternoon, Aug.
llth. His former pastor, Rev. ID. E.
Millard, of Portland, by whom he was
baptised and received into the church,
delivered feeling address from the
words of st. Paul in PHILIPPIANS, Chap
ter / 81: "For me to live is Christ and
to die is gain" Prayer was offered by
Rev. Mr.. Childs and appropriate
hymns were sung by the choir of the
Congregational church after which the
remains were committed to their rest
ing place in the Otisco cemetery.

The ball game last Saturday was be-
tween the Perkins & Richmond nine of
Grand Rapids and the home team. 1t
was hot one from start to finish and
IL was unfortunate that there was one
OF the smallest crowds of the season to
witness it. For five straight innings
our boys found themselves unable to
reach the home plate. In the sixth
they began to find the ball and it really
looked as though they might win out,
but the game was called at the end of
the eighth inning to allow the visitors
to make train with the home team
still one run behind their opponents.
One member of the visiting club per-
formed the very unusual feat of batting
out two home runs in one game.

A Man After Both Silver and Gold with
The Proper Parity.

- ~ FSA = NNNNJ'
Maj j, E. Clark, President OF the
Mobile & Ohio railroad, and Il man
regarded as 4 linancier of no mean
ability, has written a letter that
strikes us as being very merritoroius
and fair, both to the silver and gold
men, and we endorse it and think
an agreement Of the kind spoken Of
should be had by our law makers.
We,give the letter below;
] am a bimetalist; ] believe in
both gold and silver as good sound
money ! think there should be no
discrimination, at the United States
mint, in the coinage Of either metal,
| believe that our government
could and should coin five hundred
millions of silver, chiefly in dimes,
quarters and half dollars, for use
and circulation in our own country;
that the United States government
should issue no paper money in less
denominations than $40, nor coin
any gold in less denominations than
$5 Make all silver that is coined
| by the United States government q
legal tender at its face value for
all debts, private and public, in the
United States. If our people con.
tract debts in foreign countries
they will in the future, as they
have in the past, pay their debts in
the lawful money OF such countries
where the debts are cue. If inter.
national agreement eau be secured
to rcorganize silver in all countries,
] am in favor Of that, but no silver
that is coined by foreign countries
shall be legal tender in the United
States, unless such foreign coun-
tries shall make silver that is coined
by the United States a legal tender
at It's face value, in such countries,
If no International agreement can
be made, then ! am in favor Of our
own government coming silver for
the use and benefit of our own peo.
pie in the prosecution Of business
aud the development Of our coun-
try's resources, to whatever extent
the country, in It's growth, popula-
tion and business, may from time
TO time require at 10 to /, or what
ever ration to gold The United
States congress, acting for the
whole people of our country, shall
determine Is right, just and proper,

HOW TO CATCH EN-.
They offered Reward of Ten Dollars
for Each Blind Tiger Trapped
at Dardanelle, Arkansas,

The citizens of Dardanelle, Arkan-
sas, had their local option law tram
pied on and they tried all kinds of
ways to learn where whisky was be-
ing sold, but it was in vain until
they offered SO for each conviction
to the one giving the information
and the result was that one Jim
White, saw business in the PROPOSE
ton, so he stealthily went hunting
and the issue is 40 lairs in which the
blind tiger sequcsters were discov-
cred and all the animals enmeshed.
White is therefore entitled to $400,
which is not bad take these Demo
cratic times.
While we deplore espionage, not
an advocate of this mode Of warfare
still it takes desperate means to ac-
complish desperate ends, and game
of this kind, if other methods should
fail, would no doubt unearth many
a hole in this city where liquid dam
nation is sold and smuggled out by
negro runners who are making
business of this kind, We give this
as pointer to the citizens who
have banded together to put down
the hellish traffic. If we can get
one or even two of the fine haired
gentlemen who are engaged in vio-
lating this law into the county Jail,
it will have tendency to stop the
sale of the stuff

Japanese Cotton Mills,

According to the report of Con.
sui General Jeruigan, at Shanghai,
the Japanese cotton industrieshaye
assumed formidable dimensions,
The capacity of the cotton
mills Of japan had in.
creased from l3,7O0 splndles In
1883 to 100000 spindles in 1893, and
the growth Of the industry since
the last named date has continued
in even greater proportions, lllth.
erto the Japanese have obtained
most OF their raw cotton from
China but this supply Is now being
entirely absorbed by the domestic
industries of the Celestial Empire,
Japan should therefore, become a
good market for the great staple
product Of our Southern States,

ATwAR.

The railroad state commissioners
and the railroad tariff men oil Texas
had "bout" on the cotton rate
the other day, and the railroads
were represented at the meeting
by a little lawyer, who talked three
hours on "dilIerentials' and "conls-
catory," and dared the commission
ers to cut down the rate on cotton,
The sheets were submitted and the
lawyer talked bigger than even
about what they intended to do
with the commissioners This did
not scare the three big fellows who
are making the rates for the guild
auce of the roads, and they told the
railroads If those rates did not suit
them they would rub out and make
a new set, and out they went, The
commissioners then made a new
rate and reduced The tariff still
lower on the haul ON cotton and it
will beat the railroads out Of about
ST. 100000 Should the roads kick
against this the commissioners
should call another meeting and
make another reduction. This Is
the only way to whip y railroad we
know Of, and the commissioners
seem to have them on the hip, and
should give them a good spanking,

TEMPERANCE LECTURE.
Mrs, M, d, Houghton Texas State
Lecturer Of the W. G. T. U.
at this Place.

Last night a tolerable sized audi
ence greeted the first appearance
here Of Mrs M. E. Haughton, Tex
as State Lecturer Of the w. G. r.
u. Her lecture last night was a
historical sketch of the formation
Of the Organization she now repre-.
sents as travelling lecturer and
organizer Of temperance work,
She said she was one of the first
that started the movement of
crusading against saloons and from
this start sprang the organization
that has gained in membership
until perhaps it stands at the head
Of all other societies in point Of
numbers, and she believed in
usefulness She told during the
crusade how they went to saloons
and prayed and how they made a
detail Of ladies to stay at the sa-
looms all day with their sewing and
pray and sing and what effect it had
on those who came to get their
bitters, Some Of the saloon men
treated them nicely while others
closed their doors when they saw
the crusaders coming and would
not let them in Mrs, Houghton is
Il believer in wonans rights both
at the ballot box and as law makers
and she spoke in a subdued tone
while dealing in the wrongs done
her sex in this regard. She is a
plain talking woman, more Of a
class talker than a lecturer and we
suppose can do good work as an
organizer, She will lecture again
tonight at the Cumberland Presby-
terian Church and II Is hoped she
will have a good audience, Mrs.
I3emis presided last night and after
the lecture was over, stated that
the railroad charged the ladies' as
much for fare as It did men and in
order to help Mrs, IIaughton in her
work collection would be taken up
for her benefit. Two young ladies
carried around the baskets and res
ceiyed coin from almost every one
present, Go out tonight and hear
this lady, the cause Is good and the
subiecu Is not u thread.bare one.

The -FOUR C'S."
Improvement Made at One Of
The Biggest Lumber Mills
in the South.

Yesterday afternoon we visited
the famous "Four Cs" Central
Coal and Coke co., on Rose Hill, to
see how Texarkana's biggest lum-
Der enterprise was progressing.
1t being rather late, and manager
zimmerman having just returned
from business trip to Louisiana,
we missed seeing him. But by the
use of well educated eyes and ears,
we learned considerable as to recent
improvements made over there,
The big saw mill is now using a
latest improved band saw, just put
in, This saw is not half as thick as
the regular old-fashioned circular
saw, and is made in the shape of a
band Gin one piece of best pliablc
steel, and is run over two large
wheels Zone above and one below
the sawyer and log-carriage) about
seven feet in diameter, AS these
two large wheels arc some distance
apart, band saw runs vertically a
sufficient distance to cut the largest
logs into lumber. This new style
saw being thin, saves about one
seventh in the cut or output of a
mill, AS this big mill has capacity
of about $4,000 feet or more per
day, one can readily see the great
advantage in using it, The 10000
feet of lumber saved in a day, will
almost pay for all operating eXpen-
ses.
The mill is only running
ming on half time now, as the new
furnace is not complete, and it re-
Qures half the time to clean up
and haul away the refuse, that will
be consumed by it, This furnace
has been made 80 feet higher, and
lined with tire-brick. 1t will be
completed in a few days when the
mill will be run on full time,
The new dry kilns are Of the latest
and most improved pattern, are
complete and in use, Another new
attachment, is an endless chain
carriage, for carrying lumber after
it is cnt to these kiIns.
1t will be remembered that only
few weeks since, fire destroyed
the kilns and some houses at this
mill. All have been replaced and
on a better scale. The new baud
saw and furnace are also great i'm.
provements just added.
The Central Coal and Coke Co.'S,
lumber plant here is one OF the
largest in the south, and its finished
product is unexcelled. Both saw
and planning mill are complete and
of latest design, 1t owns thousands
of acres of valuable timber lands in
the counties of Little River and
Sewer, and the big saw logs are
brought in by the dozens Of
car loads, over the TeXarkana e.
Fort Smith railroad daily, and are
unloaded from the cars right at the
saw, About 1870 hands are given
regular employment.
The "Four C's,' is certainly a big
thing for TeXarkana. Long may
IL live,

them DOWN. If the latter, give
