 MT. Lacy was very quiet, unobtrusive man. He preferred life on his plantation to the scenes and incidents that come with public affairs. A few years ago he was appointed a member of the Dallas County Board of Revenue, but the place did not suit him and after holding 1t for some months he resigned and since then has devoted himself to his family and his farming interests.
 He was big hearted. charitable, gen. erous man, and there. will be sincere re- gret among all who know him, when they learn that he has passed away. He lost a daughter to whom he was de- votedly attached a few years ago. who died very suddenly.
 MT. E. P. Lacy, who is in Washington, was telegraphed of the death of his father. but will not get here in time to attend the funeral.

Al Christmas ninner.

Chief Walters gave all of the negroes In jail a Christmas turkey dinner yester- day and they enjoyed it very much. The celebrated bootblack negro, Frog, had been in jail exactly thirty days at F o'clock, for drunkenness, and the Chief told him he could go, but when he came out of the jail and saw turkeys and other good things on thee table, Frog very politely informed Chief Walters that 1t would not wound his pride in the least to remain in jail for thirty or forty min utes longer and if the head of Selma's s police department did not object he would take his Christmas dinner with him. The Chief told him to remain around the jail yard until dinner was ready and that he could come up and eat dinner with the other jail birds. Frog protested that he was then free man but being a little hungry he would accept the Chiefs invitation to eat dinner with him. After the repast was served Frog remarked that the turkey was we'll cook ed but there was hardly enough gravy with it to- make 1t palatabie. Frog spends just about half his time in the guard house and the other half on drunk.

Both are Improving.

Mrs A. A. Little and her little daugh- ter, both of whom are sick with scarlet fever, were reported to be much better this morning. At first it was feared that loss of her little 5-year-old son, Scott. would make Mrs. Little's recovery doubt full but she has bravely rallied and is now on the high road to recovery On account of the Christmas holidays and the noise incident to the explosion of so many fireworks, a. policeman was placed in front of the manse and he warned the thoughtless about making too much noise close to the sick ones.

Game of Round Ball.

Only a small crowd went to Riverside Baseball Park Christmas Day to witness the game of round ball. which Is a game of England and Scotland. The game yesterday was between the Englishmen in this city on one side and the Y. M. c. A. boys on the other. Many of the young Englishmen engaged in the game were fresh from college and they were up in the game and on that account they gave the Y. M. C. A. the advantage, playing six on their side to nine on the Y. M. c. A. side. The game was hotly contested from start to finish, and some splendid playing was done. The Eng lishmen were too much for the Y. M. C. A. boys, however, and came oF victo- rious by a score of 9 to ,. In the game MT. Frank Aycock. of the Y. M. c. A., ran into another young man and split his scalp for a distance of two inches. the gash reachinF the skull bone. He suffered considerably from the shock, and bled profusely, but beyond that no harm was done. The Englishmen played against great odds, but with that pluck and energy characteristic of the sons of Britain, they exerted every effort and came out victors. They were completely winded, however, at the end of the game, and showed the violent exercise and the great exertion that 1t cost them to win over the equally plucky and courageous Y. M. c. A. team. The game Is. on the order of football. but is not so rough and dangerous. Those who went and witnessed the game expressed themselves as greatly pleased with the outcome. The receipts were turned over to the Y. Nj. C.
