 BE HELD THEN.
Remains of W. W. Bates Were Ship ped to His Home in Perry County for Interment.
 Personal Notes.
Advertiser Bureau,


 Selma, June %.
 The remains of w. W. Bates, who was shot and killed in Walkers saloon late yesterday. were shipped to his home in Perry County this morning for interment. MT. Murph Bates and Mir. Wm. England drove through the country from Marion and arrived here at ?. m. yesterday afternoon. They took charge of the body and had 1t prepared for interment.
 The dead man. known to his friends as Doll Bates. was well known man in this city. He was popular with his friends and was a most quiet affable, kind hearted man when not in his cups. He was 8 prosperous far mer of Perry County and owned some of the best farm lands in that section of the State. He was a man about 35 or 40 years of age. and married a year or two ago, and has wife and one child to mourn his death.
 About an hour before MT. Bates was killed he wcltt over to Eliasberg Bros. and borrowed $50. and had $47 of sthe money on his person when his effects were taken from his pockets. He had a warrant in his pocket for a negro when he was shot. whom he expected to arrest here, and that is supposed lO De lHe ESdoOH ludl Ho was sHCi with a 45 Colts revolver. Besides the pistol he had a large knife in sheath Cn his person.
 The preliminary rial of MT. Wm. R. Walker. who did the killing, has been set for Thursday next at .2 m. before Justice Lloyd. Deputy Sheriff Alex Hatcher swore cut a warrant for Mr. Walker and the trial has beer postponed to that date in order to give the relatives of the dead man time to inter the body and come to Selma to be present at the trial. The coro- ner's jury, as was stated in this morn ings Advertiser has already brought in verdict of justifiable homicide. Mir. Connelley, the bar keeper. is the only man who saw the shooting, and his evidence was what the coroner's jury made up their minds on.
 The shooting is vary much regretted here by the friends of both men. MT. Walker is himself a Perry County man and he regrets the affair as much or more than any one.

THE NEILLS
BID FAREWELL

The performance of Boucicault's THE
Jilt." as rendered by the Neills. has been
before reviewed in these columns, and
further comment is unnecessary. Suf-
flee to say that the last performance was
fully equal to the first, and the spirited
play, thought by many to be the best OF
the repertoire, was given with cleverness
by the cast.
The grand stand scene in the fourth act
brought down the house, and the audi
ence, aside from its being the last per
Torrance Of the company. applauded
with spontaneous enthusiasm throughout
the play. In many respects 1t is a good
farewell piece for the Neill company. Mr..
Neill. whose Southern blood first flowed
in the veins of Irish ancestors, IS thor
oughly at home as Miles O'Hara.
There is no boisterous stage Irishman
about his performance, and his quiet
CLINT of the brogue is evidently more a
touch of nature than an acquired accent.
Miss Chapman is always charming. No
actress has made the deep impression
that she has in this community, not only
with her manifold gifts of stage craft,
but with her own charming personality.
Those sterling actors Frank MacVicars
land John Burton are more than the fav-
orites of a season In this city; so are
Miss Lillian Andrews and Julia Dean,
meaning no intentional discourtesy by
mentioning the ladies last. George
Bloomquest has perhaps shown himself
to better general advantage than he did
last year. Mr.. Morris, too, has had sew
eral parts in which he has proven that
