G. G. Thompson and Miss Ida
Horn were quietly married at the
home Of the brides parents in
South Camden last Sunday, Judge
w. L. Morris officiating. We join
in extending congratulations and
best wishes.
County Clerk W. ID. Cooper has
issued marriage licenses to Henry
Hinch and Lizzie Matlock, j. G.
Collier and Jennie Wyatt, G. G.
Thompson and Ida Horn, Charles
Lewis and Cora Hudson, Joseph
Wesson and Bessie Walker.
Judging from the number Of ex-
cursion tickets sold here the crowd
that took in the Sunday picnic at
Hollow Rock May l was not as
large by about one third as that
of last year. Camden furnished a
very small percent of the crowd.
The farmers of Benton County
will plant large acreage of cotton
this year. Fertilizer will be used
freely. There will be an increased
acreage of peanuts planted if the
seed, which are scarce, can be pro-
cured. Cut worms are reported.
Charles Lewis and Miss Cora
Hudson were happily married last
Sunday morning at the home of
the brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Harper Hudson, of Postoak, Rev.
d. G. johnson officiating. They
were given a reception Sunday
evening at the home of the parents
of the groom, Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas
Lewis. We join in extending con-
gratulations and best wishes.
A Sardis, Miss, special Friday
to the Memphis Commercial APP
peal announced the death of W.
H. Crockett. Mr.. Crockett form
erly resided in Camden, and was
associated with DIR. r. B. Travis
in publishing the Benton Banner
in 1976-1877. He will be remem-
bered by many of the citizens of
Camden as a jolly, good fellow
and an all-round newspaper man.
Mr.. Crockett had been living at
Sardis since he left Camden, and
leaves a wife and several children.
We learn that Mrs. Matthews,
the woman whom it is thought at
tempted to commit suicide near
Rockport Monday by taking laud-
anum, will recover. Probable de-
sertion by her husband, Jake Mat
thews, it is thought led her to make
the attempt to take her life. Mrs.
Matthews was a Miss Craig. She
married Matthews last fall. They
went West, but returned to Rock
port quite recently and last week
Matthews suddenly disappeared
without saying a word to his wife,
and his action is taken to mean de-
sertion.
J. M. Perkins died at his home
in the ninth district last Monday
morning. The deceased had been
in bad health for rseveral years, and
his death resulted from a compli-
cation of diseases. Mr.. Perkins
was one of the county's best citi-
zens. He was a prominent Mason
and a consistent member of the
Cumberland Presbyterian Church.
Mr.. Perkins reared large family,
and the aged widow who survives
her husband have the children to
comfort her in the coming years.

THE little ructions that will arise
within the democratic fold in such times
as these should alarm neither the timid

DAKOTA
MYSTERY SOLVED
Miss Rena Nelson Sent the Box OF
Poisoned Candy to Herself.
SHE HAD A PURPOSE IN VIEW
wanted to Get Mrs. Dye in Prison.
So That Dye, with whom She was
infatuated, Could Get a d.
vorce and Marry Her.

Des Moines, Ia, March e0.-Rena
Nelson, a telephone girl OF Pierre, 5.
D.. died after eating poisoned candy
she mailed to herself in an effort to
get rid of Mrs. Sherman Dye, of Boone,
Ia., with whose husband she was IN
love. Mrs. Dye was accused OF send
ing the poisoned candy. She was in
dicted, but her %extradition was denied
by Gov. Cummins.
An Authorized Statement.
Sheriff Laughlin of Pierre is in the
city. He authorized the statement that
It has been established conclusively
that Mrs. Dye was innocent and that
Miss Nelson herself prepared the pol
soned candy and mailed it to herself at
Pierre for the purpose of casting sus-
picion upon Mrs. Dye.
The officers have found the store at
which Miss Nelson purchased the
candy. The package, the wrapper n
the candy have been identified, as we'll
as Miss Nelson as the purchaser the
day before the candy was received
from the post office.
The Obvious Purpose.
It was the obvious purpose to &C.
cumulate evidence upon which Mrs
Dive might be convicted of attempted
murder, and Dye would thus be en-
abled to obtain a divorce, which would
leave him free to wed Miss Nelson.
Understanding the deadliness oil
the poison, and in taking a portion OF
the candy, which she supposed would
merely make her slightly i'll, she took
sufficient to cause death after an ill
ness of more than a week.
What Investigation Disclosed.
The investigation disclosed a series
of circumstances leading to the SAM
conclusion inevitably, chief among
which was the discovery, by means O.
a microscopical examination, of thu
postmark on the package containing
the candy, that the package had no
been mailed at Boone, although thl!
appearance was indicated.
Another link in the chain OF ev1
dence was the fact that the front o
an envelope which had been addresses
to Miss Nelson by Mrs Dye, in sending
a letter of protest against the former
relations with the latter's husband
had been pasted on the package O
candy to conceal the address for tn
plain purpose of casting suspicion
upon Mrs. Dye.
More Developments Coming.
County Attorney Goodner says tn
developments in a few days will cous
!, surprise.
The officials have been unable to fin
!, In Boone a candy box similar to tn
one received by Miss Nelson, but the
have found such a one in Pierre. Tn
cancellation stamp on the box is sin
liar to the stamp used in the Pierr
:, post office. 1t is asserted that Mis-
Nelson, in letters written to Mrs. by
had threatened to take poison.

MISSING FROM CONFERENCE
The Second Time Rev. Joseph A.
Bennett Has Got Lost Going
to Conference.

Philadelphia, March 19.-The alb
sence of Rev. Joseph A. Bennett, of
Conestoga, Lancaster county, from the
Philadelphia M. E. conference, has re-
suited in a search being made for the
missing member. Mr.. Benefits charge
is in Presiding Elder A. G. Kynett's
district. Rev. Mr.. Kynett says MI.
Bennett left his home for this city
last Friday, but has not appeared in
the conference. Elder Kynett further
states that the missing clergyman's
conference collections r safe with
Mr.. BENEFITS family.
Failure to find Mr.. Bennett will re-
suit in an executive session of the con-
ference, at which his disappearance
will be discussed.
In 1902 Rev. Bennett was stationed
at Lansford. He m~ysteriously disap-
peared on his way to the conference
at Columbia in 1903. The conference
learned that he had been i'll, and no
action was taken.

MIR. AND MRS. J. 0. ATKINSON, INDEPENDENCE, MO.

In a letter dated January 1, 1900, Mr..
Atkinson says, after five years expe-
rience with Peruna:
81 willie continue to speak a good
word for Peruna. In my rounds as q
travelling man I am a walking 6dver-
fisenenf for Peruna and have induced
many people during the past year to
use Peruna with the most satisfactory
results. lam still cured of Cafarrh."
John 0. Atkinson,
Box 2z2, Independence, Mo.
When old age comes on, catarrhal dis
eases come also. Systemic catarrh is al
most universal in old people.
This explains why Perunahas become
so indispensable to old people. Peruna
is their safeguard. Peruna is the only
remedy yet devised that meets these
