Death of Mrs. Criswe1l.

Mrs. J. III. Criswell, an honored resi-
dent of Brookhaven since 1858, depart
ed this life on laft Thursday. She was
born in Sussex County, Delaware, Sept
IS, 1907, and was a sister of the lament
DR.. J. S. Copes, of New Orleans. AL
though fast approaching her ninetieth
birthday, she was actively engaged
about her home, visiting her friends or
attending religious services up to
within short time of her demise. She
was among the original founders of the
Presbyterian church at this place and
in her early days was Jealous worker
in the Sabbath School, and, indeed, in
every branch of Christian work. She
was a woman of remarkable intellect
and was well versed in science, in med
icine and in classic literature.
Her death was triumphant-ca calmly
and peacefully she entered the portals
of higher life,and on Friday morning
her pastor, Rev. Chas. Oberschmidt, as
sisted by Rev. B. F. Jones, of the M. E.
Church, conducted the last sad rites at
the Presbyterian church, after which
the remains were borne to their last
resting place in Rose Hill Cemetery.

A Bold Burglary.

A young negro named Ernest Allen
was jailed Monday for burglarizing j
NJ. Woods grocery store. He planned
the burglary by stealing the back door
key while loafing about the store Sat.
urday evening When Mr.. Wood start
ed to close up Saturday night and dis.
covered the key missing, he fastened
the door with a cross bar. The door
was partly filed with sash, and when
Allen returned Sa turday night or some
time during the quiet of Sunday, bent
on robbery, and discovered he could
not enter as easily as anticipated, he
broke glass out of the sash, removed
the bar and entered. He stole 1876
from the cash register and few gro
ceries. He gave himself away by TAX.
ing another negro into his confidence
and this led to his arrest. He was ar
raigned before Mayor Daughty Mon
day and remanded to Jail in de-
fault of $4,000. On the way to
to Jail in charge of Night Waterman
Hardy Magee, the young rascal made a
race and an exciting race ensued for
about two squares, but he was soon
overhauled by the fleet-footed officer
and lodged behind the bars.

McGrath in Trouble.

NJ. c. McGrath the man who came
to Brookhaven several weeks ago and
tried to bluff our City Fathers out
of their plan to establish electric lights
by setting up in advance rival plant,
is badly in the tolls of the law. Since
his sudden departure from Brookha-
ven, besides getting sentenced to
Jail in Gretna, La, for carrying con
cealed weapons, as soon as his Jail SEN
tence expires, he will be brought back
to Pike county, Miss, to answer for the
crime of bigamy. While having a wife
in Louisiana, who was formerly Miss
Ivy Barksdale, he came to Summit
last winter, and, as the records of Pike
county show, was married on March
14th to Miss Mary NJ. Moore, of Sum
NIT, whom he succeeded in deceiving
When he came to Brookhaven he

Miss McNair's Recital,

The Execution Recital given by Mis-
Jessie McNair on Monday evening was
one of such excellence as to cause {
thrill of eXulting pride in the heart:
of her admiring Brookhaven friends
Surely prophecies may have honor il
her own country and among her OWL
people. Her role, filled with all the
lights and shades that an artist could
paint or an elocutionist enliven witt
voice or gesture, was a most difficult
one; but through each of six numbers
she magically held her listeners atten-
ton and pleasingly responded to rapt.
urous encores, that would not else be
satisfied Miss McNair's voice is ad-
mirably adapted to tragedy; it has a
pathos and depth of feeling that
rings its way into the heart, while her
graceful poses and gestures but en-
phasize what her words convey. Were
we asked to select the gem par excel,
lence of her repertoire of the evening
we would offer one, to US, ''of purest
ray serene''-Leah, the Forsaken.
\ decided enchantment and charm
was lent the occasion by Miss Marguer-
tie Herring, whose exquisite renditions
of 1.-THE Erl King" and other songs
won unfading laurels for her in the
realm of song, while her handsome per
sonal appearance elected the admira-
ton of more than one. She was en-
cored again and again and responded
much to the delight of the audience.
Miss Edith Sherman, lovely and &C
complished, executed beautifully Cho
pins 'Impromptu" and "Com' Gen
TIL" and served as accompanies
through recitation and song, being as
sisted by Mrs. A. G. McNair. Miss
Sherman, also, by special request, gave
an original waltz, that at once caught
the popular favor and gave evidence
of musical genius.

uAs little girl remarked, "Those who
didn't come missed something" on
Monday night, and if the three gifted
young ladies honored the town (which
they emphatically did Brookhaven
would have honored herself by turning
out en- masse to pay tribute to her
daughters, whose gifts and graces have
budded and blossomed, have been nur-
tured and developed under her "own
vine and fig-tree." All honor to the
charming trio, who not only appeared
before the public to entertain, but who
sweetly lent their culture and talents
