Alfalfa Restores the Soil.

1t is being well demonstrated that

The note was signed by the woman and also con- tained several other names A jury was empannelled by Coro- ner w. H. Tice when he visited the scene of the tragedy yesterday morn dng and the evidence brought out be- fore the jury was of such a suspicious character regarding the husband of the woman that he was taken into cus- ttody and brought to the city prison. He was later removed to the county jail by Deputy Shsriff Wilson on a war rant sworn out before Justice J. N. 6TOWuer CHaTBlnB murOeF.
 Negroes in that neighborhood say that Thomas killed his wife on ac- count of jealousy of a small boy that lived in the house as the adopted son aof the woman.

TO THE "EAsTER LILY,D

Unfurl thy pfarly petals, o Lily, And speak sBring's message sweet From out thy perfumed throat so pure! Love lies embosomed in thy fragrant
 heart, Untarnished by the breeze of time. Even the little child smiles on thea
 with delight, And tenderly caresses thy beauteous
 form. I can but sing song of praise for
 thee, For my heart is charmed with thy
 presence! Thou didst not dream I love thee. yes Than all the sunny faced flowers that So pure. so innocent as the new born
 babe, Seeming to awaken, as from a per-
 fumed dream, From a mystic spell meath the Fairy
 Queens touch. Thou art the emblem of all purity, God gave thee all thy magic charms Revealing to man the highest ideal in
 life!
 Early in the morn, upon thy lips are
 dewdrops, Like unto tears of joy. Thy voice tho
 silent, seems to say Iris Easter. I bring thee a joyful mes-
 sage, He is risen, Christ, our blessed Lord, Is risen
 from the tomb!" All ye whom love Him, sing praises to
 His name! Thou sayest this and even more in thy
 silence.

IN MEMORIAM.

Early in the morning, as it began to dawn" April 5th, 1905. there entered into the rest of Paradise the soul of Anne Henry Bethea of Faunsdale, Ala
 In infancy she was made child of God by baptism, was confirmed in early childhood and was a lifelong member of St. Michaers Church. Her pure soul. in its short sojourn of 19 years, seemed to have contracted no evil in it's passage home to the Fathers House. When, after a long illness, borne with patient resignation, the Messenger came for her, she was prepared to go, and calmly bidding adieu to all the loved ones gathered around her she closed her lovely eyes and silently and peacefully "feIl asleep in Jesus" The funeral services were held at Glover ,iale," the family home. A large att tendance of friends and a profusion of beautiful floral tributes attested the love all bore for the fair and sainted dead She was tenderly laid to rest in St. MichaeTs Cemetery. and we. who sorrowed for our loss, realized that it was well with the child; Gods finger touched her and she slept"

New Niarra fin south Am.r,ca.

Philadelphia Ledger.
 Last week there returned from South America to New Orleans a party of explorers which included scientists from different institutions. With a score of natives they visited the Rio Leon territory, near the equator, and penetrated a part never before seen by white men. Among the discoveries was a wonderful cascade which rivals that of the Yosemite in height and Niagara In volume. It is crescent in form and has eight cataracts, divided from each other by islands smaller than those at Niagra. It is thought to be only a question of a few years when these islands will be swept away and leave one vast cataract.

 We believe that the work of distrib- uting political plums is not one that is congenial for the President. He Is a man who would prefer to give his at tention to larger matters and who mas a supreme contempt for those seeking advancement through questionable methods. As he has openly declared that he has no intention of again be- coming a candidate for the Presidency, he can well afford to follow his own bent and refuse to remove efficient public servants merely to make room for others who may desire the posi- tions as payment for political services rendered. real or imaginary, moro of- ten the latter.
