working a very smooth graft in thi'

as $25 worth of experience.

or graft-by sending out circular
many of which have been received

detectives are desired by this agency il

for the assignment whatever it may

of it, however, is that there are sew

a detective is desired in that vicinity.
The cases are difficult, however, and
the CHIEF really could not think of
placing one upon them who is not thor

Friday morning, at the residence of
her brother, Mr.. s. F. CLARK, four miles
northeast OF Scooba, sf .er an illness OF
about three weeks, the eoul of Miss
Jane Clark fitted from it's mortal habi-
tstion and joined the innumeiable host

various members of the family, the last
few years of her life being spent at the
home OF her brother Franklin, where

sex.
The gentle spirit has crossed the di-
viding line between the mortal and the
immortal where she is there is 'rest
for the weary" and while her loved
ones will mics the ministrations of heI
gentle hands, yet we believe that all is
we'll with her and "He doeth all thIngs
for the best"
To the afflicted family we extend
sympathy in this visitation OF Provi.
dence, but would remind them that in
this instance the harvest was ripe fol
the gathering, and that their loved one
was ready and glad to go.
Among those pr. SEM at the grave we
noticed Mrs. S. d. Stennis aud Mr.. j
NJ. Clark. of Mt. fJebo, and Mr.. E. "A
Key and daughter, of Enondale.
