A denominational prize-fight is
about to be pulled off at Mel
bourne, between the Baptists and
Methodists. The performance is
more generally termed a doctrinal
debate, with baptism usually the
issue. Each principal is backed
by his seconds, time keepers and
bottle-holders, and the fight is
usually to a finish, without gloves,
But it settles nothing, and the
community usually takes it up
and continues the quarrel until
cold weather runs the people in
doors. No sincere and successful
preacher ever has time to waste
in this fashion. .--Batesville

HANGING IN MISSOURI.

Mammoth Springs, Ark, June
16.-Carrol Rice was sent to eter-
nifty from a hangman's scaffold
yesterday at 12:46 p. M. He
was hanged at Alton, Oregon
county, Missouri, about eighteen
miles from this city. A brief
telephone message says about g.
900 people were present, about
1000 being allowed on the inside
of the enclosure or stockade.
He ate a hearty breakfast and
a light dinner, having, it seemed,
m ,de his mind clear to take the
stern reality as easily as possible.
Rev. Sitten, a Methodist divine Of
Thayer, Mo-, by request spent
the night in the cell with the
doomed man, and this morning
the hardened criminal, as he
seemed to have been, assured
those who came to his cell, that
he was prepared and ready to
meet his God in peace,
On the 9th Of June, 1893, he
shot and instantly killed his wife,
near Alton, the county seat of
Oregon county, Missouri.
He waylaid his wife near the
spring where she was accustomed
to go for water. They had been
separated for some time, the
trouble being caused by her in
constancy, or rather, as he said,
"too much intimacy with other
men," But it seems that Rice
has had quite rough experience
in his choices Of women, for this
was his third wife AMI all had
been accused Of the same trouble
by him.
He killed his victim instantly,
shooting from the brush at close
range with a -calibre Winches-
ter rifle, tearing her heart out and
leaving hole almost as large as
q mans fist through the body.
His attorneys fought the case
inch by inch, but neither the su-
preme court nor executive clem-
ency could stay the penalty pro-
nounced by the lower court. He
was a young man about 80 years
Of age
His fall from the scaffold was
nine feet, and he was pronounced
dead in twelve minutes, after

LAZINESS AND MORTGAGES,

wish to talk a little this time
about the condition of our country
and other thin gs. You have
heard it said that our country was
in a better condition. financially,
than it has been for years. l am
inclined to believe that is a mis-.
take. Why? Because never
heard such a demand for corn
this early in the season, sinceIthe
late war between the states; and
meat the same way and every.
thing else in proportion. Take a
few farmers out of our country
and all the balance will be in the
hole. Why is it SOP In the first
place it is bad management, too
much four cent cotton, everything
else neglected. In the second
place you will find a whole lot Of
laziness mixed up with bad
management.
The time has come when you
can't tell rich man by the UNI
brella he carries or the coat he
wears. am acquainted with
some people myself, that are so
poor they can't feed themselves !;
but il you should meet them in a
gathering, you would think, from
their appearance, that they were
Vanderbilts. When you come in
contact with such people in busi-
ness matters, watchl watch
watch or you will get left, Oh,
now sweet they talk

ling he is. Dudes are all WORTH
less, but the girls think they have
a bank somewhere, and so they
have, such a bank as it is. The
young men that "farm old Beck"
are not in it at all with the girls.
No wonder they dislike to work
on the farm. To make a long
story a short one, the old farmers
are the LATEST fools on earth.
They have let the merchants tie
them so that it will be hard for
them ever to get loose, and all
they can do is to abuse the mer-
chant and say he is a grand ras-
cal.
The farmer is a fool and always
will be. When he gets in a tight
here he goes to the merchant for
help, and tells the merchant he's
gting to do this or that, and his
merchant will take q mortgage on
his old home and all his old stock
and lend him money; and when
pay day comes he has nothing to
pay with; consequently the mer-
chant is forced to close him out to
save himself. Then that mer-
chant who helped him in time OF
need is the biggest rogue in the
world-he would steal the money
off a dead nigger's eye. Listen
listen! laziness is the cause Of
many a mortgage being closed
out, You will never get any one
to acknowledge such q thing:
they will tell you it rainod too
much, or it was too dry, or that
sickness was the cause Of making
nothing, when it was nothing on
earth except pure, sinking lazi-
ness,-Old Hughey, in Cotton

MISSOURI SNAKE STORY.

While in town yesterday, Jim
Lannon's related a remarkable, but
true snake story. A few days
ago they had a hen setting on six
teen eggs and went out to see if
any were hatcned, and only found
one egg. Thinking it unprofit-
able to keep her on one egg, she
was taken off shut up, but got out
and could not be found next day.
When discovered near the nest
later, she was dead and found to
be half swallowed ty a larl @
blacksnake; her head and neck
up to her wings being swallowed.
The snake was killed and a post
mortem examination developed
the fact that the snake had swal- :
lowed 10 eggs before attacking
the hen.-West Plains Journal.

r, p. BLAND DEAD,

Lebanon, Mo-, June 15.-Hon.
r. P. Bland died at 4:30 this
morning after a sleep of thirty
two hours.
Mr.. Bland was born near Hart
ford, in Ohio county, KY, Au-
gust 10, 1886. He was orphaned
at an early age and worked dur
ing the summer months in order
to obtain the means with which to
attend school in winter. When
he became Of age he taught and
so was enabled to follow his
academic studies. Later he
studied law and was admitted to
the bar and practiced bis pro-
fession. In 1859 he removed to
Lebanon, where he followed his
profession. In 1873 he was elec-
ted to congress from Missouri as
q Democrat and was reelected
several terms. In 1875 he was
chairman Of the committee on
mines and mining and introduced
in the forUy-fourth congress the
~well- known "Bland bill," which
=provided that the secretary of the
treasury should purchase suffici.
ent bullion to coin the minimum
amount of 100000 a m onth in
silver dollars of 412 1-2 grains
each, and that these dollars
should be legal tender.
The greatest disappointment
l4that ever came to the rank and
Lille Of Missouri Democrats was
the defeat of Mr.. Bland in the
memorable Chicago convention Of
Mof 1925. Yet it was probably less
osof a disappointment to Mr.. Bland
than to the humblest of his ad-
mirers.
There will probably never be a
parallel case in the politics Of this
,ountry. Bland's boom for the
residential nomination came
