GlOrlana.

GIoriana" was glorious. The
night was beautiful, the crowd
was large, the play, a farce-come-
dy, was fetching and excellently
we'll rendered, and there was
nothing at all to mar the evening.
Even the Brookhaven String Band
seemed to have been created for
this very occasion, and enlivened
it with some of their best selec-
tons.
Miss Lnlah Ragsdale, who had
been so earnestly solicited to pre-
sent a play for the delectation of
our people, much to their delight
appeared in the leading role and
as usual won the admiration and
profound interest in the artistic
rendition of her part from start
to finish. And, we are sure, it IS
no detraction we make from the
evident talent, grace and compre-
hensive intelligence of each part,
displayed by each participant
when we assert that Miss Rags
dale's power to put herself into
whole play through those she
trains, was manifest in. each role
assumed. All of the amateurs had
appeared before the footlights be-
fore, but never with such ease and
Inconsistencies" as on this oc-
casion.
Miss Josie Becker was excep-
tional as Kitty, z the maid, and
Miss Fanny bennett charming
and winning as "Chad's Daugh-
ter,o while Chad himself, the in
imitable Abb Conn.,. we don't be-
lieVe could be surpassed on or off
the amateur stage. Ferd v. Beck
er and Eugene Mccormick, as
master and valet or valet and mas
ter were most admirable and re-
ceiyed praise beyond measure,
while Mr.. w. L. Wood as the for
eign count, seemed an ideal one
in appearance and was certainly
foreign" in phrase and manner.
Geo. Williamson could not be sur
passed in either Of the roles he
undertook and he and Mr.. Chas.
Heuck literally brought down the
house with their hauteur and lord
~ demeanor as foreign diplomats.
The evening was complete
success from every standpoint;
and the Y. M. G. A. for whose
benefit it was given, as well as
Miss Ragsdale, is to be congratu-
lated upon its good fortune.

Jones Talks.

During the recent session Of
court ID Noxubee County an excit-
ing incident occurred when the
Judge sentenced Julius Jones. q
well known blind tiger man. Jones
stated that white men should be
punished as well as negroes, which
caused Judge Cochran To issue a
statement to the effect that the
policy Of the Court would be that
whenever q negro was convicted
sof selling intoxicants, and would
produce evidence to convict his
white boss, that the Court would
use all the power possible to have
the negro pardoned. Jones said
that nearly all the negroes who
sold intoxicants were peddlers for
white men, but were afraid to tell
on them, because they feared they
would be killed by the white men.

Dealh q j Tile Ollie Oliver SmIlh.


This dear little babe that had
found SO tender an abiding place
in the hearts and home 81 its
grandparents, Mr.. and Mrs. S. r.
Oliver, broke all the mortal ties
that bound it here, last Saturday
and returned to the bosom Of the
fair young mother who gave UP
her life for her babes just four
and 3 half months ago. Since that
time the lovely little one has been
the central figure in the Oliver
home; and Our baby was on
the lips and III the heart Of every
inmate: Strange that it should
have fingered just long enough to
become a necessary adjunct I'd the
happiness Of that home and
strange that it should have to go,
when so many were lovingly
guarding its interests and watch
ing its growth and development
in the hope of the days to come
when life in fuller measure should
assert itself. A great shadow fell
when the spirit Of the little one
left the shores Of time.
On Sunday afternoon in the
presence of sympathizing neigh
bors and friends che funeral SER
vice was tenderly conducted by

the little form was laid away at

A Iaroe planter CT the Missis

sippi Delta is going to try the ex-
pertinent of using Mexican labor
to pick cotton. An exchange says
that Mexican labor has been em-
ployed il the cotton fields of Tex
as for many years with tolerable
satisfactory results. If success
attends the experiment it is quite
probable that others will try it
and in this way partly solve the
labor problem for a while. Col
ored labor IS becoming less and
less reliable every year, according

DepIOrabIe TRAGEDY.

a deplOrable tragedy occurred
labont ten or eleven miles South
east Of this place ID the Bournham
neighborhood Tuesday morning,
/ in which Mr.. Lonnie FL. Daniel, q
Woodworking and respected young
farmer, shot his wife to death and
then killed himself ia the presence
of their three small children.
It seems that some time ago
Daniel began to suspicion that an
other man III the neighborhoOd
was interfering too much il his
family affairs, and the matter
preyed upon his mind SO much
chat he became deranged to a eel :
tain extent and his wife left him
for fear he would do something
violent. In the meantime, some
of his relatives made application
to have him confined in the insane
asylum, and DIR. Mitchell, the Su-
.perintendent, sent wold to have
him sent on there. Thinking,
however, that there was chance
for him to get better, the relatives
advised his wife to go back to
him, and she did SO. This was
last Thursday. She reported la
ter that there was no perceptible'
change in his condition, and thus
matters went on until the morn
ing of the terrible tragedy.
That morning he set out for the
field barefooted, remarking that.
he was going to pick cotton. He.
didn't stay long, however, and
came back to his brothers. house,
only a short distance from his
own, and went in and got a double
barreled shotgun, all the family
being out except his sister-in law,
who was in the kitchen at the
time. she came to the door in
time to see him going out at the
gate, and asked him what be was
going to do with the gun. He re-
piled that he was going hunting.
He was gone only a few minutes
when the report of a gun was
heard, followed shortly By another
report, both being preceded and
followed By screams, and parties
running. in that direction found
them both lying in the public
road, about a hundred yards from
their house, dead, the three little
children lowering near screaming
with fright. Il seems that she
had started to her fathers, only a
short distance away, for some
thing, and met her husband. What
words passed between husband
and wife, if any, IS not known at
this time, as the oldest child, a
boy about eleven years of age,
was too badly frightened to give
much account of what occurred.
He says, however, that as soon as
they met his father the latter
pointed the gun at his mother and
started to shoot, but he, the boy,
grabbed the gun and jerked it
down. The father pulled the gun
barrel away from the boy and
again aimed at his wife, who turn
ed and began running, screaming
as she went. This time the gun
fired and she fell dead. He then
lay down, put the barrel to bis
breast and pulled the trigger Of
the gun with his great toe, his
own light going out within min
Lutte after that Of his wife. 1t was
a most depiorable tragedy, in view
| ofall the circumstances, and there
Eis feeling of heartfelt sympathy
among all the people for those
whose homes are today shrouded
in gloom by reason of this sad be-
reaVement. Monticello Press.
