MRS sEARCY DISAPPEARS.

Mrs. Searcey, wife of Alderman j. d.
Searcey of this city, mysteriousiy dlsap-

and up to this hour all efforts to ma her
have proved fruitleSs.
Mrs Searcey has been In wretched health
for months and her husband has been au-

wants at night during her illness. Last
night he aroused her at o'clock to give
her a dose OF medicine as usual When
to his utter establishment she refused TO

He Immediately began search. and after
looking over the house and premises thor
Oughly and not finding her, made the
facts known and 4 vigorous search all over
the city was begun at once ana mas re-

not be put into opera ton until the final
mastering out of at least one of the Missis-
Sippi regiments now in service. The reason
of this is the fact that the adjutant gem
eral contemplates using the body OF the
returned volunteers AS a nucleus or the
formation of the new national guard.
Since the Old National Guard has been
away serving in the regular army. several
companies have been reorEaniZed over the
state which have applied for admission to
the national guard. Companies have been
formed at Brookhaven, Wesson, New Al
bany, Walden, HaZlehurst and a few other
towns.
In his letter of resignation Adjutant Gem
eral Hamilton recommended That the reot-
SANITATION of the guard be proceeded with
at once using these home companies as Il
nucleus General Hamilton's idea, however
is different He remembers the difficulties
that had to be contended against when the
first call to arms was made for VoluhteefS
in the war against Spain. For this reason
he is DESTROYS that the state guard be COM
posed OF men with as much mllltary eN-
perienCa possible. The old hatlonaI
guard forces were not drilled 10 any great
extent and the lack of state appropriation
prevented their having any experience III
