A SWEET THING
Thrown at Restaurant Cook by
 Memphis Drummer.

A prominent Memphis drummer went into the Arlington hotel cafe Thursday afternoon 8o enjoy a lunch. He sat down, so we are told and after waitir5 quite awhile for the meal. he became very impatient and told the cook, who is white man, to get a move on him. The cook retorted ia bot words, and a quarrel was the result.
 The discussion grew so very warm that the drummer picked up the sugar bowl and threw 1t at the t9ok's head. The cook was very fortunate however and lodged the missile and escaped unhurt.
 The gent who did the throwing, was pulled and paid five dollars for his behaYior.

Hon. Aaron Jones, master IF the Ma
tional Grange, says much of the matter
published in the papers in regard to the
alleged organization of a stupendous
farmers trust or combination to control
the price of agricultural products in
mere guess work. He says there is just
this foundation to the varying state
ments: The farmers are effecting an
organized opposition to trusts that will
make itself felt III due time. And such
trusts as are against the public interest
will have srrayed against them force
that is pretty certain to accom- lish its
purpose. The methods of warfare will
prove effective, Mr. Jones says. A force
of one million organized farmers can
make it exceedingly uncomfortable for
trusts formed to practice extortion.

Poison ENDS HIS LIFE.
George Ackres Drank Paris Green In q

George Ackres Drank Paris Green I'm
George Ackres who for years has
lived at the residence of Mrs John
Patterson oD North Center street, COM
mitted suicide Friday afternoon by
taking paris green. He ate his dinner
as usual and showed neither by word
nor action that he entertained thoughts
of self destruction.
About 2 O'Clock the hired girl remem-
bered of having seen him 90 to the
hich was kept for that purpose.
shortly afterwsrd he was missed
When someone discovered a residue of
paris green in the tin cup, anxiety and
suspicion Immediately supplanted every
idle fear and general search was in
augurated. The barn was first over
hauled without any result. 1t was then
supposed that Mr.. Ackres had gone
down town, and no further Importance
was attached to the residue of paris
green until groans were heard issuing
from the wood shed. The door
was thrown open and thus was
revealed piteous sight The dying
map was still conscious, but was strug-
Cling through the last throes of his
agonizing death. He had but time 10
confess that he had taken poison when
he lapsed into lethargy from which
he never awakened.
A doctor was summoned in haste
but arrived III time only TO pronounce
the case hopeless.
Geo. Ackres was perhaps fifty years
old. He had lived in Plymouth long
time and was we'll known by the older
citizens. In disposition he was quiet
and retiring His greatest vice was
drink, and for several months previous
to his death it had dragged him to a
level of constant dependency. The
news of his mothers demise in Ohio
affected him dee ly also.
In Ohio he leaves a wife and son
with whom he has not lived for many
years. His many friends grieve ex-
ceedingly because of his sad end

She is an accomplished musician and
studied in one of the best schools in
Chicago. She is also very beautiful and
has always moved in the best society.

was known. The marriage is said to be
the result of love at first sight and ever
since Weidmsn made his appearance in
Monticello, few months ago seeking
employment at his trade, have been de-
voted and very much in each others
company. The parents and friends OF
the young lady tried in every way to
break the attachment but failed. The
young lady even proved her devotion
by caring for he, lover while in a state
