THEY NEEDED MORE DOGS.
Hunters From EnsIey Had Fairly Good
 Luck With Fifteen Hounds.

The late rain has increased the hunt CTS chances for game and the knights of the dog and gun are happy. The protract- ed dry weather made it difficult for the dogs to trail the birds, but since the rain of Saturday those who have been out report good bags. Tom Eubanks and Hobart Yam of Ensley returned yester- day after a two days chase over the hills, across the fields and through the timber. They had excellent luck and have already planned for another hunt this week. They bagged 20 quail, 3l rabbits, 5 squirrels and one duck. Their hunting grounds was about a mile beyond Huff man, where they say game abounds in great quantities. It is charged and ad- mitted that they could have gotten even more game if they had had more dogs. They only took fifteen hounds with them.
 Mir. Eubanks and MT. Vann are going this week across Red mountain where they say they know where to find some deer.

ZERAFlNi APPOINTED.
Archbishop VIII Be Vatican Apostolic
 Visitor to Mexico.

Rome, December 6.-Monsignor zera- fini, Benedictine archbishop of spoleto, has been appointed by the vatican apos- tolic visitor to Mexico. It is hoped by the vatican authorities that this appoint ment will lead to a resumption of the relations between Mexico and the Holy See, which have been interrupted since the execution of Emperor Maximilllan.
 Members of the diplomatic corps how ever, do not believe that the hope of the vatican in this direction will be ful- filled, and they recall that Monsignor Averardi held the same position at the Mexican capital four years without ob- taining the desired object.

Little Mildred Miller, daugh-
ter of Curgus and Fannie Miller,
died May =. 1908. She was one
year, two months and two days
old. Her little life, though so
short, was not clear of pain and
suffering for she was sick a great
deal. Oh! It's SO hard to give our
little darling up, yet we know
she is safe in the arms of Jesus.
God knew best, for He doeth all
things well. Dear parents,
think not of your little one as
dead but sleeping, for she is now
where sorrow is not known and
is much better off than we. Yet.
we can not help but weep for
little Mildred was so sweet and
good and we will miss her so
much. Now, mamma and papa,
you have stronger les ia heaven
and may you live so a. to meet
little Mildred in paradise, where
you shall dwell with her forever.
''Now her suffering is all over,
Her happiness just begun,
And she is waiting in heaven,
To welcome her loved ones home"
