WIN TERPORT.

'
Mrs. e. E. Atwood passed away Friday
after noon at the home of her sister, Mrs.
Thomas D. Eaton. Chloe E. Atwood was
born in Winterport in 1854 and was the
daughter of Nathan and Sarah Downes
She was one of large family of children,
two or three of whom died in infancy; but
her death was the first break in the circle of
five sisters and two brothers who lived to
mature years. The immediate cause of her
death was brain trouble Her sutferings
were intense and although everything that
the loving care of sisters, friends and physi-
clans could do was done to alleviate them,
nothing could avail. She bore it all with
great patience and fortitude. Mrs. Atwood
was of cheerful sunny disposition, ,unselfish
self sacrificing and she will be greatly miss
ed, not only in the home circle but by a large
number of friends. For about year and a
half she had been the matron Of the Child
ren's Home, Bangor, where by her efficiency
and unfailing interest in the little ones she
endeared herself to the directors and child
rem alike. The funeral services were held
Monday afternoon at the home of Mrs.
Eaton, Rev. j. W. Hatch officiating. The
music was by the Methodist choir. D. NJ
Spencer was director, and four of Mrs At
woods nephews acted as pail bearers. The
floral tributes were abundant and very
beautiful. A large quantity of lovely flowers
were brought by the ladies connected with
the management of theHome, who came down
on a buck board to attend the funeral. Among
those who came were Mrs. James Adams,
Mrs. j. G. Blake, Mrs. N. E. Bragg, Miss
Brown, Mrs. j. II. Eldredge, Mrs. H. Fl.
Fogg, Mrs. FIJI. Strickland, Mrs. Ezra Stew
ems and Mrs. A. II. Thaxter Miss Coffren,
who is serving as matron for the present,
also came, as did Miss Royal Atwood.
The rite of confirmation was administered
to a class of about 40 boys and girls Satur-
day morning, Oct, 10th. Bishop O'Connell
was assisted by Rev. FIR. Collins Of Port
land and Fir. Garrity, pastor of this church.
....Mrs. A. P. Richie and Mrs. S. j. Fair
banks were guests of Mrs. Charles Bryer
last week. ..Mr. Fred Littlefeld has re-
turned from his summer cruise. Mr.. Dor
rity of Brooklyn visited his daughter, Mrs.

HONORABLY ACQUITTED.

James A. White, formerly of
Brookhaven, where he was born
and reared, who was forced to
kill a prominent man named
johnson in Cordell, Oklahoma,
about two years ago, where Mr.
White was editing a paper, has
been honorably acquitted for the
act. The first grand jury which
met and investigated the killing,
refused to indict at all, but such
pressure was finally brought to
bear upon it by a partisan judge
and influential friends Of the
dead man, that it yielded and
returned a true bill. Mr.. White
was placed upon trial under this
indictment this week, and on
yesterday the trial jury returned
into court a verdict of 'snot
guilty.
Mr.. John L. White, one of
the most honored and respected
citizens of the community, yes
terday afternoon received
telegram from Cordell, announc-
ing the happy termination of the
trial, and all Brookhaven friends
of "Jim'' White and the family
generally will rejoice to hear the
good news.

A Family Affair.

jackson, November 25.-A
young white man of the name of
T. O. E. Easterling, of Rankin
county, was arrested yesterday
in Natchez by Officer Gorden and
brought to jackson. and placed in
the city Jail last night. The
charge against Easterling is steal
ing $50 from his mother-in- law,
Mrs. Taylor, and the charge was
preferred by his brother-in in law,
Smith Taylor.
Easterling seems to have en-
tangled himself very deep in fam
lily affairs, according to the
charges that are preferred against
him by his brother in law, who is
a prominent farmer of Rankin
county. Easterling married Tay-
lor's eldest sister, but a short
time ago became infatuated with
the youngest Miss Taylor, who
is only sixteen years of age, and
persuaded her to run away with
him. Before leaving Easterline
secured $50 from his mother in.
law, and left for Natchez with
his wife's youngest sister. Th,
date of the trial has not been de
cided upon. Times Democrat

Thanksgiving in BroOkhaven.

Thanksgiving was generally
observed in Brookhaven by the

MORE WHITE Gaping IN LINCOLN.
One Negro Killed and Others Threat
ened and Shot at.

The white caps have been
operating again in the south
western portion of Lincoln coun-
| ty. On last Saturday night they
visited the home Of Eli Hilson,
about seven miles from Brookhav-
en-, who had been previously warn
led to Yacate, and, it is reported,
literally riddled his house with
bullets.
How the negro and his FAM
lily escaped being killed seems
almost a miracle, but none we're
hit. 1t is stated that when this
night attack was made, Hilson's
wife had a baby but a few hours
old. On the following Thursday
night NOV. 24) the whitecappers
visited the house Of Henry Liste,
a negro living in the Gum Grove
Neighborhood, and literally rid
died List and his house with bull
lets. He only lived a little while
after the shooting.
Lists house was visited about
two weeks ago and shot into and
he was warned to leave, but he de-
cided not to do so. He had lived
in the community about all his
life, and, SO far as we have been
able to learn, bore a good reputa-
Ition He lived on a small farm
of his own which he had pur-
chased about a year ago from
A. G. Seavey & Sons of this city,
and on which he still owed some.
After last summers campaign
closed, it was repeatedly stated by
those in a position to know, that
the white cap organization had
disbanded in this county, and
that there would be no more of
this kind Of thing. Instead,
however, it is assuming a graver
and more aggravated form.

DARE NOT HINT AT MURDER.
Turkish Newspapers Are Not Permit
ted to Refer to the Crime
"a Of Regicide.

The sultan of Turkey lives in con-
stant dread of death at the hands Of
an assassin and the most extraordi-
nary means are taken to guard his per-
son from their approach. He hSs like
wise prohibited any mention Of the
crime of regicide in the newspapers
published in his domain. He insists
that every ruler or person of high po-.
litical Importance should die a natural
death. The Stampa of Turin says that
other manners of death are not Off
cially recognized by Nischan Effendi,
the censor. When King Humbert was
assassinated at Monza the Turkish,
newspapers announced the sad event
in this way: "King Humbert left the
hall amid the frantic cheers of the peo-
pie. The king, much affected, bowed
several times and to all appearances
was Immediately dead" When the
shah Of Persia was assassinated the
Turkish papers said: In the after
noon the shah drove to his, summer
palace anu there complained Of illness.
His corpse was sent to Teheran.' Ono
paper excelled all others by this absurd
piece of euphemistic simplification: q
''The shah left little i'll, but finally
his corpse returned to the palace"
This was too much even for the Turks,
who keep the phrase IS one. of their
proverbs.
