universal sorrow by the members of

The deceased was a man of recOg
nized ability, and as a minister had
few equals in this section of the
state IN the expounding Of the COS
pei He was a conscientious man,
a high bred gentleman and his pleas
ant manners won all with whom he
came in contact to reverence and re
spect him.
The TINES regrets very much it
has not the data at hand to give
brief biography CT the deceased.

it in charge, being hard pressed by

Mount Vernon, Ill, Dec. 81
Deputy State Game Warden Slo
cumb, of Fairfield, has seized large
number of rabbits found in front of
the Adams express office, which on
investigation proved to be recep
tacle for nearly eight dozen quails.
The shipping tags attached to the
boxes and sacks 10 which the game
was stored were addressed to the
Missouri Game and Poultry Com
pany, ST. Louis, but the consignee's
name was indicated by a number
only. However, bis arrest is only g
question Of short time
There is pretty good evidence
that quails have been shipped from
Butler in the same manner. At

to be possessed Of facts, went to

toned him in regard to the mstt-r,

fine and if the informer get share

belonging to Bowles was cut to
pieces and he accused the Colemans,

A change Of management OF the
large mercantile establishment OF
the Bennett Wheeler Mere. Co.,
took place the first of the new year.
The change in the firm is the retire
ment of Mr.. 4. A. Bennett, presi.
dent of the concesn, and also of ID.
l.. Haggard, a member Of the firm
and salesman. Mr.. Bennett has
been at the head of this immense
establishment for the past twelve or
thirteen years. How well he has
managed the affairs of the firm IS
known to the entire community
From a small beginning in an old
dilapidated frame building on the
northwest corner OF the square to
the proportions of the present es-
tablishement which is one of the
largest department stores in this
section of the state Mr.. Bennett IS
very proud of the success he has at
tanned, and his retirement is purely
On account of years of close contilne-
ment and impaired health. The
TIMES regrets very much to see him
absent himself from the active busi-
ness circles of our town. AS a
thorough going, energetic business
man he has few equals in the state.
He is a gentleman of the strictest
integrity and during his long service
to the community in business way
he has ever been honorable in his
dealings and be retires from the
firm with the highest respect of this
community. The TINES surmises
the retirement of jolly, genial Dixie
Haggard should be credited not to
health, of which he has fifty years
supply, but rather to the persuasive
influence of big fat bank account,
of which he came in possession
short time ago through the sale of
500 acres of fine land to Mr. Scully.
Dixie is one of the best fixed young
men financially in this county, and
he has the brains to handle it. The
TINES is glad OF his prosperity.
The new firm has not yet been re
organized, but We understand the
head of the new management will
be composed of John Armstrong
and A. 0 Heinlein, which insures the
success of the business, as
both are young men of experience
and schooled under MIR. Bennett.

counting rooms, and attracted great in
terest. 1t Is seldom that the eagle Is
seen in this section now, ard the one
Killed yesterday afternoon was the first
brought down since about ten years ago.
Yesterday afternoon young John NJ.
Lyle, Of Glenn's run, was out hunting,
and at about $3.50 o'clock he was sur
prIsed to gee a gray eagle perchcd in the
top OF q very tall poplar tree, and u
score or more Of rows flying around
the Monarch of the Air. Young Lyle
took careful aim with his shot gun and
brought down the eagle at the first
shot, stone dead, shot through the head.
He and his father came to town early in
the evening, and consented 10 leave the
eagle on exhibition at the In~telligencer
Office until they make arrangements
with q taxidermist to have it stuffed.
The bird measures seven feet from
wing to wing extended, and weighs
seven pounds. 1t Is OF the gray color
usual in eagles OF its kind.
