0 Sunday observance of memorial
DAY has developed in some places, but
the general opinion seems to be that
the services are, or ought to be, quite
as solemn and impressive as those of
any burial, and, therefore, there would
be no improperly in holding them on
the Sabbath.

Advice from a COIored Farmer.

From the Miller County Liberal.
An influential colored man among
his race spoke in the court house here
Saturday. He bears the name of D.
Moses and lives in.Early county, where
he runs fourteen plows.
He advised the mem bers of his race
to keep their contracts better, and to
educate their hands before educating
their minds.
He reminded his hearers of the fact
that the best white people of the south
are always willing to show worthy
negroes favOrs.
The talk was well received, and was
along the right line.

INFANT DROWNED.
Roswell W., Little son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. r. q. Arthur Lost His Life
In Irrigation Ditch Last FRI
day Afternoon.

One Of the most dis ressing accidents
tn I the RECORD has been called upon
to chronicle for sometime was the
death of little Roswell w. Arthur. son
OF Mr.. and Mrs. X. &. Arthur, which
occurred at the family home, 32l7 Ca
afternoon in consequence OF falling in
to the irrigating ditch which flows
through the premises.
The little fellow who would have
been two years old had he lived until
todsy, was an exceptionally bright and
winsome child and was great favorite
with all who knew him. To fore-tall
any accident that might happ-n to him
by falling into the ditch the porches
about the house were enclosed with a
wire screening. preventing him from
getting out into tn. yard without his
parents knowledge.

started down the path to join his fa-
ther, who was " orkiDg in the garden
across the ditch, some fifty OF sixty
yards away.
Just how il happened that ne fell in
to the water is unknown, but it is sup
posed that after crossing the bridge he
attempted to open the gate, which was
on the bank Of the ditch, and In doing
SO, lost his footing and rolled down in
to the stream. No outcry was heard
and it is thought that he was drowned
almost in. mediately Ms the water was
about three feet deep.
Only a few minutes elapsed from the
time OF his leaving the house until it
was noticed that he was missing and
search wa. at once instituted to find
him. 1t did not take the distracted
| family long to divine what had become
OF the little fellow and they run down
the ditch In the hope that they might
find him aliv. but no trace OF him
could be seen. A wire netting was
placed over the entrance to the siphon

catching the body when it reached that
point, but they were too late for the
current had already carried the re-
mains beyond that place.
As soon as the ditch superintendent
could be located the water was turned
of to facilitate the search for the body
which was found little before nine
O'Clock lodged against the iron bars
which guard the ditch at it's entrance
to the penitentiary grounds. There
were no marks or bruises upon the
body to indicate that 1t had been
through the siphon, or that it had been
brought in cos tact with stones or boul-
ders during it's passage of more than
hall mile down the ditch
On being taken out from the muddy
sepulcher the remains were tenderly
carried home to the bereaved parents,
who were almost heart broken over
the sad ending Of their almost idolized
child. The funeral was held at the
family home at two O'Clock last Sum
day afternoon. followed by interment
at Lakeside cemetery.
