and a half old Mrs. Barth when
into another room to attend to some
household duties, and while she
was absent the little fellow pulled
the lamp off the dresser and the
chimney broke exposing his clothes
to the flames. When the mother re-
turned to the room she found her
child's clothing enveloped in flames
and made heroic effort to save her
boy. In doing so her own clothing
was ignited. Seeing she could not
put the fire out she ran across the
street to a neighbours mouse with
her clothing on fire to get help. AS
sistance was soon secured and some
of the neighbors devoted them
selves to the child while others
turned their attention to the mother
The little fellow was so badly burn
ed that he died in a few hours after
the accident. After Mrs. Barth's
clothing was extinguished it was
found that she had sustained inju-
ries around the face, neck and breast
and that she was in precarious
condition. Her death occurred sew
eral hours after the accident.

Reorganization of National Guard.

jackson. The work of reorganiz
ing the state National guard is pro
ceeding nicely, Judging from reports
received here. Several of the old
companies, among them Wesson,
Greenville and jackson, have report
ed that they have the necessary
quota pledged and all that is neces-
sary is for the enlistment blanks to
be forwarded to them. There are
about thirty eight companies to be
recruited and reorganized i'll all.
The enlistment blanks will be sent
out in few days, and the general
impression is that about all OF the
companies that belonged to the old
National Guard. will reorganize.
The officers that were in charge
when the companies were disrupted
on account of the men volunteering
for the Spanish American war will
retain their commands until an cleo
ton is held, which will be done as
soon as the reorganization is COM
plete.
