In MEMORIAM.

near Caseyville, Miss, been rem
dered desolate by the death of an
other son. AS the shades of eve
ming fell on Saturday, Oct. 9Th,
the soul of this loved, and loving
young man was called hence to
greet that of his elder brother,
Tilden, who just ten days prior
had. been lasd to rest in the quiet
cemetery at Philadelphia church.
"Dinko as he was fan1iliarly
called by bis family and friends,
had just arrived at the threshold
of young manhood. He had re-

was stricken with typhoid fever.
and after three weeks ofsuffering,
despite the best medical aid that
could be procured, he yielded his
young life to the God who gave it.
Sad indeed is the home thus
doubly bereaved. Often has the
writer heard the father of this
young man speak of Dink as a
good boy" always respectful
and obedlent to his parents, kind
and loving to his brothers and sis
tiers. We contemplate in Devil
derment the dispensation Of Prov
'idence, which calls from our
midst, one so young, so kind, gen
erous and lovely in character as
this young man was; but God
knows best, He doeth all things
we'll. /"
Weep not fond parents, BROTH
ers and sisters. He is but gone
before. Clad ID neWness. of life,
he is now safe from all the trou-
BILE, trials and sorrows of earth.
It is only one more link in the
chain that binds you to the bean
tiful beyond. z After death comes
the resurrection, and then life.
May God grant that their great
sorrow may be borne with Chris
tan fortitude, that in the death OF
him whom we all priced so highly
and loved so we'll, we may realize
that this is not our home, that be-
yond this transitory existence, is
one not reckoned by days, months
and years, but one Of eternal hap
piness.

School Trustee Contest.

The State Board of Education
held an interesting session this af-
ternoon to consider the case of a
contest in a vacant trusteesihp in
Franklin county. The contest
grows out of an election for trus-
tee at MeadvilIe, the county seat
of Franklin, and the contestants
are: DIR. a. M. Newman, sheriff
of the county, and M. g. Bradley,
both Of whom claim to be legally
elected, and the case was appealed
to the State Board.
On Sept. / as required by law,
the patrons of the school held an
election to Eli a vacancy which oc-
CURED on that day. A ballot was
taken which resulted in tie be-
tween Mr.. Newman and Mr.. Brad
ley, each receiving twelve votes.
1t was claimed that three of the
patrons who voted for Newman
we're not qualified to vote in the
election, and second ballot or
election was ordered. On this bal
lot Newman received twelve votes
again and Bradley eleven. One
of Bradley's supporters left after
the first ballot, under the impress
sion, it seems, that the election
was over. Mr.. Bradley contested
the election and appealed to the
State Board.
The Board late this afternoon
took the case under advisement.

WALLACE CIRCUS PARADE.
Street Display 81 i Circus Reveals rs
Character.

Character.
The Great Wallace Show which
exhibits In Br0okhaven on Friday
Oct. 14, features everything con-
Hneeted with ii, from the street
parade to the concert. The press
of other cities have only the most
favorable comment for Wallace's
parade. Even when the show yis-
its territory where it has never
been, it's magnificent street pag-
cant SO agreeably surprises the
public that they are sure to crowd
the immense tents.
It is in the parade that the man
agement of d circus can show to
good advantage the stability and
character Of the aggregation. II
it is a cheap concern, giving only
ordinary performances, its parade
will tell the tale. If it is really
meritorious the street display will
demonstrate the fact. The splen
did equipment Of the Great Wal
lace Show is shown to excellent
advantage in the big parade, and
it is always complimented. The
horses are in fine trim, and the
tableaux, wagons, dens, cages, and
chariots aIe respIendently deco
rated with costly carvings, gilt
and yarnish. An unusually large
number of dens are open in pa
rade, and the general public is
given a free exhibition of a fine
array of wild animals. All in all,
it is pronounced by many the fin
est and best circus display ever
seen upon any streets. But it is
in the circus performance that the
show excels.
The parade of the Great Wal
lace Shows will start from the
show lot at 10 O'Clock sharp, and
traverse the principal streets.
