In Loving Memory.

OF Mrs. Marian Hills, Died Oct. p,
1899.
The day was long. The burden and the heat,
With patience borne. The tireless willing feet
For others veal went eeasless to and fro;
The busy hands no task too hard could know
If wrought for others good. Thus passed the
hours
Till twilight shadows fell, and deeds, like
flowers.
Blossomed list that only God could keep,
And now with tired hands laid on her breast.
With weary feet for ever more at rest
Day done, HE giveth His beloved Sleep"
Written by q Friend.

the effect OF the magnificent increase OF

States with commanding position over
the Isthmus of Darien. for the piercing Of

The last four on the list, to wit ::
Forrest, Early, Anderson, Stewartand
Stephen D. Lee, were appointed With
temporary rank under the Act approx
ed May 81, 1864. And this list. so
far as the report Of the War Records
Office shows, includes the.names of all
the Lieutenant Generals who served
in the Confederate armies. In the
sketch of Gen. Whcelers career,
printed in the last edition Of the Con-
gressional Directory, it is stated that
he "was successfully promoted to the
command Of a regiment, brigade, di-
vision and army corps. and in 1862.
was assigned to the command Of the
army corps Of cavalry Of the Western
Army, continuing in that position till
the war closed" and on May IL, lsG4,
became the s'senior cavalry general of
the Confederate armies. - We have
no wish to discredit Gen. Whcelcrss
services during the Confederate war,
and particularly because Of his splcn
did work during the recent war with
Spain; but is little strange that
the War Records Office should have
discovered no signs of him in the
Confederate records Of Lieutenant
Generals up to within three weeks Of
the surrender of Lees army at sAp-
pomattox, and within about six weeks
of the surrender of the Western army
at Greensboro. AS Schlcy wigwaggcd

Lovers Fight a Fatal Duel.

I;SDlcorr, NED., March SIS the
sequel Of fatal duel over a young
ady, Burt tirandy was chased through
the forests Of this county by aShcriff's S
posse aid bloodhounds and finally kill
ed himself. Clyde Coles body lies at
the undertaker's establishment, and a
distracted young woman is raving in
her room, temporarily bcrcft Of reason
by the bloody tragedy enacted in her
presence. Those involved are among
the best families Of the State.
The two young men who last night
engaged in the struggle to the death
were intimate friends For year
they have been paying attention to
pretty Gcrtie hickey, the belle of the
village. The jealousy was intense,
but no threats have been made. and
no one expected the courtship to end
in tragedy. Last night at the Endi-
cott Public School a church entertain
ment was held. All three participa-
ted, and the two young men hurried
from the temporary stage to the door
to beg the privilege of escorting Miss
Hickey home.
Both spoke at once, but the girl ac-
cepted Cole. Grandy was persistent
and begged that he be permitted to ac-
company them. His offer was reject
ed. The couple walked few blocks
to the girls home. At the gate stood
Grandy in rage. The disappointed
lover demanded of the girl whom she
loved best Of the two. She hesitated
and Cole disengaged himself and step
ped forward.
Seeing trouble brewing the girl step
ped between the two rivals. Again
Grandy demanded that she make
choice. Hoping to settle the Difficult
ty, the girl declared her love for Cole.
INSTANTLY Granoy drew revolver. The
girl sprang between the men, but Cole
jumped forward and grabbed the wea-
pom. Then a wild struggle for the
possession Of the pistol occurred.
After 10 minutes Grandy wrenched
himself loose, still grasping the wea-
pom, and aimed at his rival. Again
the girl sprang forward and interposed
her body to shield her lover. Then
the infuriated man pushed the weapon
beneath the girls shoulder and fired
at Cole. He dropped dead.
Then the girl denounced the mur-
derer, who turned and fled into the
woods. All day he was pursued by
posse led by bloodhounds. Finally
his body was found in a pasture six
miles from Endicott. A bullet hole
in his skull and revolver lying by
his side told the story. Losing hope
of escape and overcome with remorse,
he had taken his life with the revolver
with which he had slain his friend.
The young girls reason is threatened.
