cnt company, and consists Of seven

desirable moral entertainment ma,
succeed, First on the course is the
Chicago Glee Club which comes or

ABSTRACT OF TITLES.

Mr.. j. E. Riyes has been diligently
at work on Il general abstract of titles
embracing every tract of land in Noxu-
bee county. including every town lot.
BY untiring and painstaking energy and
perseverance he has !the book completed
fcl a space of fifty years, commencing
from the original entries from the U. S.
Government. On account Of the care
lessness of..the early land owners and
still greater carelessness Of the probate
and chancery clerks, it is next to i'm.
possible even for the most careful
searcher to get a complete abstract Of
any piece Of land, that will contain all
Of the transfers..
There are a great many irregularitie,
in the indaxing and methods of record.
ing. In many instances deeds are not
indexed at all, In some instances they
are recorded in the wrong books. Mr..
Rives has disrsgarded the indexes and
has taken the deed books deed by deed
and page by page. and now has upon his
abstract book in ito proper place an alb
stract Of every conveyance extending
over a period of so years, 1t is his inten
ton to supplement his abstract book o.
titles with an abstract of all the circuit
court, chancery and probate court pro.
ceedings affecting the title of every
piece Of land in Noxubee county.
This latter enterprise is a new feature
originated by Mr., Rives himself, a,
there is not such an abstract in an,
county of the state or elsewhere. That
it will be most valuable in settling for
eyer. disputed land titles. there can b.
no question.
Mr.. lRives has taken steps toward,
establishing an Abstract and Guaran.

LAID TO REST.
Remains of Capt. Walter Barker
Arrive III Macon and is In
tered With HOuOr.

The remains Of Our distinguished fell
low-citizens, Capt. Walter B, Barker,
who was killed in Japan while serving
as Quartermaster in the U. S. Army at
Nagasaki, Japan, arrivedin Macon on
Sunday last, after having lain in state
at the home of his sister, Mrs +. A.
Critz in West Point on the day previous
The remains were escorted to Macon by
Ivanhoe Commandery Knights Templar,
Of which the lamented dead was a men,
Der. The train was met by the Nox-
ubee Camp Of Confederate Veterans, the
Noxubee Rifles, under command Of
Capt. Boyd and the Walter Barker
Chapter of the United Daughters of the
Confederacy, under whose hands the
Methodist church to which the remain,
we're carried, had been beautifully dec
Grated. The Floral offering of this
chapter represented the united flags OF
the United States and the Confederacy
and covered the altar, while the chance
was decorated with the flag Of Cuba
where he'had served as U. S. consul with
great distinction during the Spanish
American war, the flag of Japan, the
flag of our country and the flag of the
Confederacy, under which he had wor
the laurel wreath of a hero. Rev. N
c. Augustus, who had been a life Ions
friend, Hons. Walter Price and Emmett
Cavett paid fitting tribute to their aztec.
ton for the dead At the conclusion Of
the church services, the Veterans, Temp.
lars and soldiers followed the bereaved
family to the cemetary, where the inter.
ment was made under the Masonic
ceremonies Of the Templars, the soldiers
firing the last salute.
No greater tribute to the true worth
and loving affection his home people
bore this noble hero could have been
made than the large number from every
section of the county and friends from
abroad who were present at the sad OBJ
sequies.

From The People.

EDITOR DE THE BEACON
Will Macon let this opportunity passl
Every thing indicated a short time since
that our little city has at last awoke
from her long sleep. Our hopes were
raised and we expected to see the inter,
nal improvements grow more and more
but we are doomed to disappointment,
The board of aldermen have condemned
the old sidewalk in front of the stores
on Jefferson street and III their places
nov we see the concrete payments and
last week we thought that everything
looked so handsome and citylike and
we heard that the board would com
pei all of the residents as far up Jeffer-
son street as +, Shelton's residence
on both sides of the street paved in a
similar manner 1t seemed to be the
desire OF two thirds of the property
owners to have this improvement.
We understand that the contractor
agreed to give five iyears time to the
parties to pay the amount for this i'm
provement. Why don't the board
condemn these sidewalks and make the
property owners put the concrete pave
ment down along Jefferson street. II
it was right and proper to condemn the
walks in the business part Of the city
upon what theory is it not right to
make the property owners along the res.
ident streets pave the sidewalks in front
of their houses.
Right here let me congratulate the
board on putting a stop to converting
Macon into a stock farm by passing the
ordinance requiring all COWS and stool
to be kept off of the streets. Let III
hope that the board will make thu
property owners along the resident
streets put down walks like they have
in Starkville, Columbus West Point
Aberdeen and even little ~Brooksville
