Boy Commits Suicide

Our neighborhood was inexpres-
sibly shocked on Saturday last to
learn that young James Whitacre,
son of Mt. W. II. Whitacre, a pros
porous farmer living near Berryville,
had committed suicide. The youth
was Il years, old and had been in
bad health for several wears past.
He suffered from mental desponden-
cy, which had been the case for some
time. On last Friday night, he was
missed from his home, and his faith
er made search for him, and found
his body suspended from a piece of
timber lying across the tops of the
stalls. Although his body was still
warm, when it was taken down, life
was extinct and all efforts failed to
restore respiration. The sympathy
of the community is with the grief
stricken family. Funeral services
were held at the house Monday morn
ing at 10 o'clock, the Rev. Julian
Broaddus officiating. The pallbear
ars were yong men, Mho were friends
of the deceased. Interment was
made in Green Hill Cemetery.

Only small por- tion of the convent is now habitable and that is used as an asylum for the in sane. About thirty ''locos" are at pres ent immured in a wing of the vast edi- flee, walled off from the ruins. En- trance is freely granted to visitors, and one may wander at will through the deserted corridors, explore the labyrinth Of roofless cells and seek for the burial place of Ojada, the lion hearted Conquistador. who lies in- tered at the walled up entrance. Don Bartholomew Colon was buried in this convent, at the foot of the great altar. Of the devoted missionaries who built the immense structure and dwelt with in it two centuries or more, not trace remains-at least not in visible form.

 One night when I was out jaCking With a guide" began another of our party "a deer appeared right ahead of cur boat. The jack light shone straight on him, but I knew he was there be- fore I saw him stop to recOnnoitre by the shivering of the boat. My guide had the buck fever so bad he shook the boat. He missed the deer with the first shot. and then he got wild and fired into the air.
 Another time. when l was floating for deer, had the gun, and it was the other fellows turn with the jack light. When a deer came down to see what the light meant, that fellow turned it so thlat I could only see his neck. I fired, but all I got was two of his front teeth"
 Another man broke in: Did you hear about those two men who went out for Heer just before the season opened and the game warden caught them? We'll Sir, the warden heard they were going out the last day in August, and he went to their camp and sat down and waited for them.

PLENTY OF HIS FAVORITE
 DRINK.

There was big religious revival go- ing on in Texas town, conducted by Sam Jones, and he was stirring things up in that section of the world The town was wrought up over his sayings. One day he found himself in possession of a bottle of good old wine, which had
 been sent to him as an evidence of good faith in 8 profession made by some man who had decided to quit the rum habit. Sam Jones had no use for the wine. In q jocular way he presented the wine to the newspaper crowd, telling the boys they might manage to get little inspi- ration out of it. One of the boys, in writing a little skit about the thing, said MT. Jones had given the wine to the boys of the press, and had inciden- tally mentioned the fact that butter milk was his favorite drink. The little town was the hub of the buttermik belt Enough milk was produced in that part of Texas to float the American navy The newspaper notice had marvellous effect. It brought forth thel buttermilk and it came in all sorts of quantities to | the hotel where the evangelist was stopping. Buckets, bottles and cans and utensils of almost every kind were i left at the eating place for the Geor- gian. Milk bells were ringing and milk wagons were rolling up to the place | during all the day. I never saw so
 much buttermilk in my life. Sam
 Jones, if he lived to be as old as Methu- selah, could not have consumed the
 quantity of milk which had been , hauled, carried and "toted' to the hotel | by Texans who read the little squib in
 the newspaper about buttermilk being the favorite drink of the evangelist, Sam Jones was somewhat annoyed by the thing at first, but the funny part of the situation dawned on him, and, ap- preciating the good spirit of the offed- ing, he got a good deal of fun out of it all.-New Orleans Times-Democrat.
