While the Decoration day procession
at Bethany, Mo-, was enroute to the
cemetery last Thursday afternoon,
Aultman Miller, proprietor of jewelry
store left his store and ran up behind
his brother-in-law, John 7. Price, who
was marching in the procession and shot
him twice with revolver. The first
shot entered his back and the second /,
fred after he had fallen into the arms
of bis marching comrade, went through
his head, killing him instantly. Miller
then ran to his home pursued by a
large crowd and as the first men started
to enter the door he shot himself in the
head, but the wound will not prove
fatal, and Miller is in jail. Price was a
wealthy retired farmer, 65 years old,
and Miller is so years old. The men
had quarreled few days before oyer
money Miller owed Price. Miller was q
hard drinker and had threatened to
kill Price and then commit suicide.

Industries Moving South.

While AGRICULTURAL interests are still
paramount throughout the South, the
rise and development of nearly every
branch of manufacturing industry has
gone on with unparalleled rapidity. In
no direction has this growth been more
notable than in the realm of cotton.
The enormous business done in what
vera once waste products of the cotton
Industry, later by-products, and now en-
titled to the dignity of independent IN
slustries, is not SO well known. Cotton
seed is the foundation of as many allied
branches of manufacture as the Northern
beef and pork packing business has given
rise to- The oil is staple article of COM
MERGE In ali the markets of the world,
and forms the basis for a valuable lnSre-
dicHt of numerous articles OF 1000. AT
first used chiefly in the large Northern
lard refineries in combination with other
fats of animal origin. its Valus is no"
so universally recognized, and it's use so
iurportant. that manufacturers OF lard
compound are feeling the necessity or
Welding to geographical conditions. ana
erecting their retineries in the South,
where they are not only near to the
source of supply of cotton seed oil. nut
also adjacent to a large popuiatioh ac-
custonned to the use of their products.
Among the first to recognize these con-
ditions the N. X. Fairbank Company is
conspicuous The lard compaund PRO
duced at its Chicago and ST. Louis REIN
cries has been a household staple throus-
out the South for the last quarter OF
century, and our people will not be less
appreciative Of its merits now that they
know it is produced here at home The
establishment of the Fairbank Company
al Gretna is in every respect completely
equipped for the manufacture OF faro
compound and "Cottolene." and nothing
IS wanting that money or skill can sup
NV to nerfect its products.
