The Life of Big Guns.

The story prevails that the big guns on which our warships and Qualifications depend can be fired but comparatively few times. The commonest figure given is seventy-nine times. When you allow for sighting and practice there is then little usefulness left. if the estimate is right. Fortunately the New York Sun has been looking into the subject, and it finds that these mo- tions come from the tests of foreign guns. Our own American-made guns have yet to give out. There is one of lO-inch caliber on the MiantOnomoh that has been fired more than 2W times. and still seems as good as new. We be- gan the manufacture of such guns in this country about eleven years ago. and up to the present time not one of the homemade guns has given out. It is the opinion of the experts that every gun will stand at least 30O tirings. and that all that we have mounted or afioat will serve through the war and be ready for busine Ss when it is over ] This is very re-assuring. for the foreign ! estimate was that a sixty-seven-ton gun i would do for l2O rounds. and, one of the no tons for seventy-five rounds. and that after that they were not up to . their work.

Accidentally Killed.

Hosea Wells. the 6-year-old son, of Constable w. J. Wells, who resides just east of town, fell from wagon Friday afternoon and received injuries from which he died five hours later.
 Mrs. Wells and Hosea were spending the day at c. H. Smiths, north of town, and the little fellow went with MT. Smiths boys to J.. M. Emmett's with load of molas. ses cane. On their return, and while passing J. B. Stevens place, they were driving at lively gate, and in some unknown way, Hosea fell from the wagon without any of the boys seeing him until they had left him some ffteen or twenty feet behind. The wagon had evil dently passed over his head, leav- ing, however, only trace of a bru1se on his forehead. Dr.. Poynor was immediately summon ed, but could not rally him,
 The grief of the family and relatives cannot be consoled. Hosea was an exceptionally bright little boy, and the only child in the family, and thus to be snatch ed from them is awful in the extreme. We extend to them our most sim cere sympathy.
 His remains were laid to rest in the Pickens cemetery Saturday afternoon, Rev. R. w. Goudelock of Berryville conducting the funeral obsequies.

Meeting Fairly We'll Attended and
 Action Taken for the Future.

The Mass Convention to discuss the county seat problem, which was held here Saturday., was fairly well attended, citizens coming from Yocum, Long Creek and Prairie, while letters were read from other sections, and most everything was quite assur- ing of support. The matter was discussed at considerable length, after which meeting of the prop erty holders was called for the purpose of providing ways and means for the raising of the requir- ed bonus before an election can be ordered.
 There is considerable importance attached to the meeting for i hurs- day night, and we trust our citizens will give good turn out. A long pull, hard pull, and pull all together is the only way to get at this matter.
