London, Dec 30.-A news agency an
nounces that the British naval reserves
will be modified
According to recent estimates, the re-
serve forces OF the British navy num-
Der about 5000 men Of this number,
it is calculated that at least 10000 men
viii be required in case of war to com
plete the manning of the Warships of
Great Britain, which are understood to
require a complement of 10000 men,
whereas only 100000 are actually in
service. The naval reserve problem has
long been discussed by British author
tiles and the general opinion appears
to be that the number OF men available
is far short of the number that would
be required in case of war
In addition to the men in the naval
reserve, Great Britain has a large re-
serve fleet and number of reserve
merchant cruisers. including such YES
sells as the Campania, Lucania, Etruria,
Umbria. Majestic, TeutOnic, etc.
A special dispatch from Shanghai says
that communications are constantly pass
ing between the British and Japanese
officers and it is understood that the Jap
anese ministers are trying to effect a re-
Impeachment with England on the basis
of joint guaranty of reform in Chinese
administration.

New York. Dec. 3O.-Regarding the
rumor that the British government has
decided to call into active service her
naval reserve feet, Bruce Ismay, agent
of the White Star line, when seen to-
day, said he had no official or other in
formation on the subject
At the Office of the British consul,
surprise was expressed at the report,
inasmuch as Great Britain has a suf-
flcient naval force to cope with any
emergency that might arise in the east
without calling to her aid the services
of the naval reserve. The British con-
sui here has no official information on
the subject.

The number of persons holding posi-
tons by appointment at the various
state institutions and various state de-
partments who are actively interested
in the campaign against Senator Han
ma, is the most noticeable feature of
the contest tonight. At least a score
are working actively under the direc-

contest is beginning to excite a great
deal of comment, and no little criticism
of Governor Bushnell, who is cognizant
of what is going on.

MISS EFFlE BORING DEAD,
She Succumbs to Nervous Prostitution at Her
Home Near FOurylle.

She Succumbs to Nervous Prostitution at Her
Home Near FlOurylle
The simple announcement last Friday
that Miss Effie Boring was dead was
not in the nature of surprise, but car
ried with it pungency of grief and
sorrow that will weigh heavily upon the
hearts of all who are acquainted with
the sad circumstances and attendant
causes of her death. She died at the
home of her aged mother, near Flour.
vile, Friday morning at 2 o'clock, her
death being primarily due to the terri
BILE nervous shock sustained as an eye
witness to the -blooded murder of
young Walter Galloway just three
weeks ago. Her ailment was somewhat
aggravated by an attack of dysentery,
but this had succumbed to The physici-
ans skill and her death resulted di-
rectly from nervous prostration.
Miss Boring was about twenty five
years old and was the idol of fond
mothers heart. She was one of seven
children-fve boys and two girls and
being the only one unmarried at home,
a comfort and solace to an aged and
paralytic mother.
The circumstances of the murder of
young Galloway, to whom it is said
Miss Boring was enga sed to be mar
ried, are too painfullyifresh in the minds
of our readers to need recounting here.
Standing beside her devoted friend she
saw the binding fash Of the murderer
gun as the deadly missiles mangled the
victims head almost beyond recogni-
ton. The deed was no less fatal to her
than to him, and the tragic death of a
worthy and popular young man is fol
lowed by that of a most estimable
young lady, and two fond hearts, rob-
bed of each others devotion in life, are
quickly reunited in death, and in the
spirit-land of peace they find full frui
ton of plighted troth, purified by Him
who first made love.
To the sorrowing relatives and friends
of both families, and especially to the
aged and intirm mother of the young
lady, we extend profoundest sympathy
and coincidence.

Llttle Chila.s sad Death.

II is not often that a writer is called
upon to chronicle a sadder death than
that of little Wayne, the four ear-old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. S. G. Williams,
which occurred last Friday afternoon,
and the fond parents hearts are sore
and heavy with grief, more especially
because the grim reaper had given no
warning of his coming. In his playful
rambles Mayne found a package of SUI
garcoated quinine pills, andiswallowed a
large number of them. When diseov-
cred soon afterward by his grandmother
he was lying on the floor and said he
was sick. On being questioned his in
nocent reply was: 81 took whole lot
of medicine; Pm so sorry"
Everything that loving hands and
professional skill could suggest was
done to rescue the little sufferer but it
did not avail, and in forty minutes
from the time he was discovered his in
nocent life had gone out, and as the
setting sun yelled itself with mountain
peaks the black pail of grief, denser
than darkest night, had shrouded a
cheerful, happy home-little Mayne
was dead, and his pure young soul had
flown to its heritage of eternal life.
We mourn with those who weep, but re-
jOice that beyond the sombre shadows
of the tomb there is eternal day.

Diphtheria at JOnesbOrO.

Parties who came up from Jonesboro
this week say that there are several
cases of diphtheria in our sister town
and that the people there are using
every precaution lest it become cpl
demic. Several families have left the
town and others were preparing to GO
early in the week. These reports are
not intended to be sensational but come
to us upon the very best authority.
There is no necessity for undue excite
ment, however, as the efforts to stamp
it out will doubtless meet with early
success. Still it is well enough to ex.
ercise a little care during such emer-
gencies.

Messages received from Conway,
Ark, few days ago, divulged the fact
that j. H. Ingram, in Jail at that place
awaiting trial for the murder of John
I. Hoss, had made his escape. This is
greatly deplored by the friends of the
dead man here, where he was so we'll
known and esteemed. The evidence at
the preliminary hearing and before the
grand jury indicated that the murder
was a most atrocious one, and it is sin
cerely hoped that the fugitive may be
speedily apprehended and brought to

IN MEMORIAM.

"The Lord gave, and the Lord hath
taken away; blessed be the name of the
Lord TO the believer these are
precious and inspiring words. Life is
full of events which bring them wildly
home to our hearts.
Little Mayne Williams, son of Samuel
G. and May Mayne Williams, was born
August ~, 1893, and died suddenly
July 30, 1897. He had eaten or swal-
lowed anumber of sugar coated quinine
pills-in all 40 grains, perhaps and in
forty minutes he was limp in DEATH He
was in perfect health, bright and
beautiful boy, Of a remarkably inquisi-
tive turn of mind, full of life, an affec-
tionate and dutiful child, and naturally
enough an object of warm parental
love.
The fond parents were already plan
ming for his future education and train
ing; cherishing glad and high hopes of
noble and happy manhood for him
they loved so dearly. But in short
hour all their hopes were blighted for
ever, touching the human side of this
brief, God-give life. 1t had fulfilled,
perhaps, the divine purpose here, in so
far as little Mayne was concerned; and
so the blessed Lord takes back to him
self in harmony with other gracious
purposes He has concerning both
him and the bereaved parents. May
the Lord sanctify this sore affection to
the good of all concerned "Grieve
not with hopeless sorrow" since our
Father in Heaven assures us there is
Rest for the little sleeper,
| JOY for the ransomed soul;
Peace for the lonely weeper,
Dark though the waters roll,
Weep for the little sleeper
Weep it will ease thy heart;
Can not make the dull pain deeper,
Twill help to heal the smart
The dear Savior hath found him.
Laid him upon His breast
Folded his arms around him,
flushed him to endless rest,
Think of him henceforth as a treasure
removed, but yours still, in heaven,

far collected about $500 of taxes for
1896, and has turned the books over to
Trustee Byrd. Considering the search
ty of money Collector Collett has made
a very good showing, but there is a
large amount yet due. Trustee Byrd,
however, out of the goodness of his
heart, is going to give delinquents still
another chance. The books will be re-
turned to Mr.. Collett and an extension
of fifteen days time allowed those who
are in arrears in which to settle before
penalties are attached. All who are
delinquent should show their appreci-
alton of Mr.. Byrd's kindness by prompt
settlement of their taxes.
