DEATHS.

Postmaster F. Clay Elkin, of Lex
ington, died suddenly Tuesday after
noon at 500 o'clock of. heart trouble.
He was apparently in good health, al
though he had not been strong for
some time, and, and was at his work
Monday night till o'clock, and after
dinner Tuesday seemed to be far re-
moved from such an unexpected taking
off. The last words he said were
spoken to his wife. After playing
with his children, lifting and kissing
them, he turned wearily and said: 81
feel like l am going to Sleep" 1t
was the sleep of death.
Mrs. Lucy Downey Clarke, aged
25 years, wife Of Mr.. Chas. S. Clarke,
died Tuesday afternoon at 2 O'CLOCK,
at the residence of her grandmother.
Mrs. Eliza Ogden, on Main street,
after protracted illness of several
months. She is survived by her
husband, a bright little daughter two
years old, and two brothers, Ben and
Embry Downey.
Mrs. Clarke was young woman of
many beautiful traits OF character.
Being bright, cheerful and agreeable,
she was much loved and admired by
large circle of friends and acquaint-
ances. Her affection for the aged
grandmother who had raised her was
beautiful to behold. tits but another
verificatio1 of the old saying that
"Death loves a shining mark" for
when Lucy Downey Clarke is taken
shining light goes out, leaving those
of the home circle, where she was
best known and appreciated, in total
darkness and despair. But remember
friends, "He who gaveth, take tn
away" and trust and faith in Him
will bring the silver lining to the
darkest cloud.
She was an affectionate and loving
wife and mother, devoted and fond
sister and a true and loyal friend.
The h esrtfelt sympathy of this entire
co nm unity goes out to this grief
stricken family in this sad hour.
Funeral services were held at the
Christian Church yesterday afternoon,
at o'clock, and in the absence of
Elder j. S. Sweeney, the old pastor of
the deceased, were conducted by
Rev. DR.. E. H. Rutherford.
The pall-bearers were: Chas. G.
Clarke, DR.. VIM. Kenney, Chas. P.
Cook, w. Ed. Tucker, J. w. Bacon
and VIM. Giltner.

Shameless Act of Negro Brute.

(SaR Hisle, nineteen-year-old
negro brute, Of Winchester, was
arrested in this city Monday night by
Acting Chief of Police j. G..
Elgin upon the charge of Grim
inally assaulting Mrs. Jasper
Case, white woman, who resides at
Colby station, on the G. &. o. rail
road, near Winchester. Sheriff
Woodson McCord, of Clark, come
here on the early train Tuesday
morning and identified him as the
man wanted and stated that there
was no doubt of him being the right
party. While waiting for the Inter
urban car to take the brute to Colby,
so Mrs. Case could identify him, quite
a crowd gathered, and it wouldn't
have taken much for the crowd to
have taken him and swung him up to
the first lamp post handy.
After committing the crime Hisle
walked through the country to
Austerlitz, where he boarded freight
train and came to Paris. Only for
the alertness of officer Elgin he would
have gotten away, as Hisel was ready
to board an outgoing train when
arrested.
He was taken before his victim and
identified as the man, and Circuit
Judge Benton, of the Clark district,
ordered the Sheriff to take him to
the Lexington jail for safe keeping.
Hisle is an ex-convict, sullen, mean
and horrible looking creature and
hanging would be an entirely too
easy death for him.

Quarantine and Ball.

Montgomery has quarantined against Atlanta, and if few more quarantines' cross and criss-cross," said Walter NC Adory yesterday, q fear the natiohai sport will have a hard time of it in thls part of the country The Southern league teams are now shut out of Little RocK' Shreveport and New Orleans. and Atlanta Is to be added to the list put four league cities will remain open to our athletes.
 The season lasts two weeks after tre present week, and President Kavanaugh will have to be as alert in baseball ar fairs as he Is In Arkansas politics II ne succeeds in carrying the league sateiy up to and through Saturday, September 23. About one moro quarantine will rem der the baseball situation extremely com plex, but Judge Kavanaugh seems de- termined to defeat the quarantines' no matter how numerous they are or may become. He says the seasons games shall be completed to the last game ana the last inning of that game.
 Players may jump and quarantines may be imposed. but the games are to go on, if President Kavanaugh can find towns in which to play the teams of the league. He is grit to the backbone.

Monthly Treasury Reports.

The treasury deficit in July was $13,- S55, 1863. In August 1t was $4.733,567. The deficit of the first two months of the fiscal year is thus shown to be $1S,589,23o.
 This is a heavy deficit in two months of exceptional prosperity. The country was perhaps never more prosperous, and yet deficits continue to recur. It is not creditable to the country to go on In this, way. A great an active peo- pie can not afford to have expenditures outrun receipts. A nation should avoid running behind. It Is not only bad example to put before the individual citizen, but it Is a practice that must be changed in order to avoid an issue of bonds.
 The tariff wall is so high it cuts down the national revenue, and Con- gross will in all decency and order be forced to consider its revision. An I'm mense array of special interests will, however, bar the way. Privilege will plead that 1t outranks deficits The holders of Dingley privileges for taxing the people inside the wall consider that those privileges have become vested and are too sacred to be revised. The standpatting of Privilege may prevent tariff revision, and yet the country can not go on much longer mourning def cits. Expenses in an expanding nation naturally are increased each year, and Congress will ue asked to provide the needful revenue. Will 1t do it?

Refreshing his Memory.

At 10 o'clock last night travelling man stepped up to the clerks desk at the Hillman. and with some agitation said to Clerk Graves;
 MT. Graves, I have just come from a man who says he is one of your old schoolmates. He told me you and he were old friends His name is John Smith, and he used to live at Pumpkn- vile. Do you know him?'
 "Smithi Smith' said Graves wonder ingly. John Smith of Pumpl1nville. don't recall him just now. Whats the matter with him? Is he in jail?''
 Tn Jail!' exclaimed the travelling man. Why, no. He's just home from Alaska where he made s2Oo.ooo digging gold in the Klondike, and he's come back to Alabama to spend the money"
 "Oh. yes, to be surer' said Graves. ''Why, what was I thinking about! Smith Johnny Smith of Pumpkinville, three miles from Sassafras? Why, 1-should- say-I- himl Johnny and I used to fish together in the creek for minnows and hang our clothes on the same stump when we went in swimming. Say, if you see Johnny, give him my love, and tell him Pm coming round to see him when I get off In the morning."

First Frosts of the Season.

Frosts and September come together The first reported frosts were seen at Mount Washington in the east, and at Yellowstone Park in the far west. Since then light frosts have occurred in Ne braska and in the two Dakotas.
 The frost line will be pushed south ward from day to day, but in Iowa and the great corn states people are hoping a killing frost will not be felt before September 20 A light frost may ap- pear in Tennessee early in October, and in Jones valley light frosts are due next month, although a killing frost rarely comes until November.
 Jack Frost is the only sure and full antidote for the mosquitoes, now con- sidered a public enemy. All mosquitoes are public nuisances, and some of them are as dangerous as the man who transforms himself into a walking arsenal. The man pulls gun at every opportunity, and the mosquito uses his lance as readily, and it is difficult to determine which is the more danger ous of the two.
 We must await the coming of frosts this year in order to get rid of the mosquitoes, but when all parts of Jones valley are connected with our two great trunk sewers an effort should be made to keep all mosquitoes out. Be- fore another summer this valley can be put in a condition to wage relent- less war against all mosquitoes, even against the innocent culex.
