Attention Farmers.

Owing to the fact that the West
Tennessee Farmers Institute has
grown to such prodigious proper
tons that the hotel accommoda-
tons of the city of Jackson are in
adequate to entertain the delegates
during mid-winter, and the further
facts that the farmers have their
stock to attend to, and many old
men who are always safe in counsel
cannot attend in midwinter, after
consultation with the Hon. w. w.
Ogilvie, Commissioner of Agricul-
ture, we have decided that it is to
the best interest of the farmers Of
West Tennessee to change the time
of meeting from mid winter to the
summer season; therefore, there
will be no meeting of the West
Tennessee Farmers Institute held
until next summer.
Meanwhile, 1T is desired that all
local or county institutes continue
to meet regularly, and the Depart
ment of Agriculture will aid and
encourage them from time to time
by furnishing speakers or lecturers
as often as possible from now until
then. When such lecturers are de-
sired the otficersof county institutes
will please correspond with the
Hon. w. w. Ogilvie, Commissioner
OF Agriculture, Nashville, Tenn,
with regard to the same, Due no
tice will be given later as to the
time fixed for the meeting of the
West Tennessee Farmers Institute
and the number of delegates that
each county institute will be re-
quested to elect. We hope and ex-
pect that the railroads will continue
to cooperate with the Department
of Agriculture in the future as they
have in the past. All local or coun-
ty newspapers IN West Tennessee
friendly to agriculture will please
copy this notice as a matter of
news. Very respectfully,
]. w. RosEMAN, Pres,
West Tennessee Farmers Institute,
Gadsden, Tenn.

GAMBLERS GO TO MONTE CARLO
Some Affect Piety. Hoping to Cause
Good Luck.

London, Feb. 49, Monte Carlo
is fast filling up. English and
American patrons of the gambling
tables frequently resort to the lit
tie English Church there impelled
by the notion that such manifesto
tions of piety will insure them a
spell of good luck.
1t is due to the attention which
the church has received from the
devotees of chance that no hymn is
ever given out to be sung there
below the number 81. Thereby
hangs an interesting history. An
English peer, after attending serv-
ice there one morning, went to the
rooms and put the maximum on
80, the number of the last hymn.
1t turned up. The nobleman did
not keep to himself the source of
his lucky inspiration. Next Sun
day the little church was crowded,
much to the qualification of the
officiating clergyman. But the
bulk of the congregation did not
tarry for the sermon. After the
last hymn, which again CHANGED to
be low number, had been given
out, an unseemly rush for the door
took place and a heller SHELTER
race for the Casino.
The long arm of coincidence
served again. Once more the num-
Der of the last hymn turned up
and the bank was badly hit. On
the following Sunday the church
could not hold the crowd that
fiocked to it and a large number of
people waited patiently outside
for the announcement of the num-
Der of the last hymn. But mean
while, the pastor had caught on. J"
After bestowing a glance of with
ering scorn on the eager up-turned
faces, he announced a number that
was well up in the centuries, and
the expression of glad expectancy
was replaced by one Of deep, pen
itential gloom. Since then no
hymn whose number was ION the
board" has been sung in the church.

The death of Gen. Lew Wallace,
which occurred at his home in In
diana on Wednesday, did not come
as a surprise, for he had been i'll
long time, and he was rs years
old. His death was due to cancer.
General Wallace was a native of
Indiana, the son Of Governor of
the State. When ten years old he
wrote novel with which he
amused his friends, and when he
was Is he began writing "The
Fair God" He entered the army
for the Mexican war as a second
lieutenant and twelve years later
he finished his novel. He organ
lied the Eleventh Indiana Volun
teers in 1861 and he resigned as
State Senator to become adiutant
general of the State. He was also
named as colonel of the Eleventh
and served with distinction, be-
coming o major general. He af
forwards served as territorial gov
ernor of New Mexico and was sent
by President Garfield to be minis
ter to Turkey. This last appoint
ment was a direct recognition of
his great ability in the production
Of E'Ben Hur," his most famous
story. This story was one of the
notable literary achievements of
the day and it has been sold all
round the world. 1t is a story of
the time of Christ and in it is
painted graphic picture of the
civilization of that day.

Grand Duke sergius' Body Fright
fully Mangled.
Moscow, Feb. l7.-While Grand
Duke Sergius was driving to-day
from the Nicholas Palace through
the senate quarters, his carriage
was followed by two cabs,
At the law courts a sleigh in
which we're two men, one of whom
was dressed as a workingman,
went ahead of the grand dukes
carriage.
The sleigh then slowed up to al
low the carriage to pass, and at
that moment a bomb was thrown
beneath the carriage.
The force Of the explosion broke
all the windows Of the law courts
and the report was heard outside
the city.
The carriage was blown to pieces,
nothing but the four wheels re-
naming. The horses were not
hurt and they!bolted.
The grand duke was killed in
stantly. His head was blown off,
actually being separated from his
body, which was frightfully man
gled.
The coachman was also killed.
He was so frightfully burned by
the explosive with which the
bomb was charged that he died
while being taken to a hospital.
On arrest of the murderers, neither
Of whom was known to the police,
one Of them coolly said

An immense crowd gathered at
and made demonstration against
a number of students who COM
menced scattering revolutionary
proclamations.
Within a few minutes of the ex-
plosion, which occurred at p. m.
people might have been seen gath
erlng up pieces Of wool and cloth
ing as mementoes Of the tragedy.
When the Grand Duchess Eliza
beth, widow of the Grand Duke
Surgius, was informed of the oc-
currence she Immediately went to
the scene OF the assassination with
out waiting to put on a hat or
cloak.
Gates OF the Kremlin were closed
as soon as the news of the assassi-
nation was conveyed to the authori-
ties and the remains of the Grand
Duke were taken to the Nicholas
Palace.
HE AROUSED HOSTILITY.
His vigorous and harsh measures
aroused the greatest hostility, es-
pecially among the students.
Two years ago after the student
riots in which many were killed or
wounded, several hundred expul-
sions to Siberia followed, under the
orders of Grand Duke Sergius and
Gen. Trepoff, now governor gener-
al of St. Petersburg, but who was
then chef of police of Moscow.
AS there were many threats
made against his life, the Grand
Duke was obliged to flee to his
summer residence, twenty miles
from the city During the recent
strike disturbance the Grand Duke
left the Diskoutohny palace on the
outskirts of the city, where he had
been living, and took refuge inside
the ramparts of Kremlin, where he
has since lived in what is known as
the little palace opposite the fam
GUS statue of Alexander II.
The trip to the Kremlin on that
occasion was made at night, be-
tween solid lines Of troops.

Special Village rIeeting.

About a score of citizens attended the
special village meeting In the Town
Hall Thursday afternoon, which was
called to adjust the appropriations for
the current year. c. A. Stanley, chair
man of the board OF trustees, explained
that under the vote of the last annual
meeting the village treasurer could not
pay any orders beyond the amounts
specified at that meeting, and that in
several departments the appropriation
was already exhausted. Only $4,000
was appropriated for 1905, while the
expenses for 1904 amounted to over
$4,000. Mr.. Stanley said the present
board hoped TO save several thousand
dollars this year, but they could not
promise to run the village for $4,000.
Bills in arrears still kept coming in, a
break in the big pump at the pumping
station cost over $500 for repairs, and
the special investigation for a new water
supply cost about $500. The board of
trustees recommended increased appro.
priations Of $4,000, DIVIDED by depart
ments as follows: Arrears, 5000; water
works, $500; general department.,
$500; stable, $500; hydrants, 500.
On motion Of Robert W. Simonds this
amount. was voted, after which the
meeting adjourned.
