CUT MS THROAT FROM EAR TO EAR,

It is learned here this morning
that some time yesterday Wash
Nixon, living between Brooklyn and
Augusta, man about 60 years old,
committed suicide by cutting his
throat from ear to ear.
Mr.. Nixon had been III bad health
for many years during which time
he would occasionally have spells
bordering on to insanity. He would
slightly recover from the insanity
part, but his health continued to
grow worse and few days ago his
mind became badly impaired, but his
friends had no thought of his trying
to commit suicide until they found
his body yesterday. He had cut his
throat and doubtless lived but q
short time.
Mr.. Nixon was an old and highly
respected citizen of that part Of
Perry county and had many friends
and number of relatives. T. J
Nixon, circuit clerk of Perry county
and a citizen of this city, is a rela.
tive of the deceased.

P. Carter was made chairman while
Lee CASTOR acted as secretary.
The constitution and bylaws were
read and adopted by section. Only

selected by the committee.
The election of the directors was
deferred for a call meeting which

slim, many of the board not knowing

or if notified had forgotten it.
The board will soon be we'll or
ganized when it will go to work il
earnest and VIII naturally do a grea

The Brookhaven Leader states that

which weighed over 900 pounds.
From her mother he had sold $4l5
worth of pigs. This beats several
bales of cotton, and proves that there
is no finer stock country anywhere
than Mississippi. With state fair
farmers would exert themselves in
the matter of such exhibits, and di-

HOMER AND MILTON.
Relative Merits of the Had apd Para
disc Lost.

From the Salt Lake Herald
To say that Paradise Lost" has given
greater pleasure to large number. or to
any number, of readers than the "Iliad" is
to state something that had probably not
occurred to any man who has read both
works.
1t is well within the bounds Of reason
to say that hardly one in twenty Of the
people who start to read Millions wonder
full poem ever finish it. On the other hand,
hardly one in twenty who begin any good
translation of Homers magnum opus, fail
to read every line of it. The pleasure de-
rived from the 'Iliad" is hardly to be COM
pared with that derived from the work Of
Milton. 1t is not necessary to read the
former in the original Greek, although to
appreciate Ii in all of its full. ripe beauty,
ii should be read in the original.
There are number of TRANSACTIONS,
however, that retain practically all that Is
best in the "Iliad;" at least they contain
SO nearly all of 1t that proficiency in Greek
is not a sine qua non in its perusal. 1t
may be said with reasonable certainty that
for every who has read Paradise
Lost" in its entirety, 100 have read the
''Iliad." From the quarrel of Achilles with
Agamemnpn and the Greek army to the
burial of Hector, the ''lliad" Is full OF
action, of noble thoughts and of lofty SEM
timents.

Ostentation in Hospitality.
From the London Tattler.

People seem to have lost the power Of
hving quietly and happily in their country
homes. The country is only made endura-
Die to them by sport and gambling and
coisterous house parties; and when from
one cause or another these resources fail
they are frankly bored and long for Lon
oon. Ihey are no longer content, as our
fathers were, to entertain their friends
with hospitable simplicity. So profoundly
has all society been vulgarized by the wor-
ship of the golden calf that unless people
can vie with alien millionaires In the
sumptuousness with which they do you
delightful phrase-they prefer not to en-
tertain at all. An emulous ostentation has
KILLED hospitality.
