The most apI reciated Thanks
giving present that was received
by the Mutual Life policy holders
waat the resignation of President
Mcgurdy. Wouldn't it be great +
! President Mccall would bestow a
like favor upon the New York Life
policy holders as Christmas gift?
The pressing need of these large
life insurance companiesis for all
of the old officials, who have been
weighed and found wanting, to
step down aud out, and give place
forpthers who can hold the conf

JOHN Hay.

The life and public service of
Secretary John Hay will deserve
the closest study of historians who
seek to record in order of their
greatness the men who have held
portfolios in the Cabinets of our
Presidents.
In the death CT Mr.. Secretary
Hay our country has lost one of
its most valued and highly hon
ored citizens and the world at
large statesman and diplomat
whose counsel was sought after
and highly priced. Our Cabinet
has been adorned by men of great
ability and by men who were re-
garded with the verv highest re-
spect and esteem by the people Of
their own country and by those
of other nations, but never has
one possessed and held the conf
dence and esteem of the people
of the world as has Mr.. Secretary
Hay. The whole nation mourns
the loss of so distinguished cit
IZeu.

THOUGH OUR FRIENDS, and who
are also the farmers friends,
Messrs. Schwartz and Stewart, the
hardware men of Natchez, do
seem a little premature or Ill
timed i'll their advice to farmers
ITO make hay while the sun
Shines" as given in their sad. :"
to-day, it IS well to consider that
the sun will certainly shine some
day, for we of optomistic temper
ament believe that "behind the
clouds the SUI is still shining"
and with this faith we unhesitat-
ingly endorse the words Of our
hardware friends when they urge
the farmers to "make hay while
the sun shines" and offer to equip
them with everything necessary
in the form of hay-making tools
to insure a good harvest, and as
the hay crop is more promising at
present than the cotton crop, the
words of our friends are particu-
larry well suited to existing con-
ditioAs

NEVER BEFORE in the history Of
cotton statistics has it happened
that the estimate at the close of
June has shown deterioration
over that OF May. The advance
that in q few minutes carried flu
ture cotton from the $50 market
we'll past the ten and half point
rs record-breaker, and well may
1t be and more of the same variety
if the cotton planter is to escape
ruin.
Thirty days ago it was general
ly admitted that there would be
a forced cnrtailment of acreage
aud no possibility of a big crop.
Since that date continued rains
have kept the planters out of the
fields; cotton has continued to
suffer from want of cultivation,
grass and too much wet. The
condition could hardly be worse,
or the prospects as to yield more
gloomy.

MOUNTED POLICE IN
PURSUIT OF MURDERERS
WILL RUN DOWN SLAYERS OF
JUAN ARMENTE, WHO WAS
KILLED NEAR TORRANCE THIS
WEEK.

A detachment of the New Mexico
mounted police, in charge of Ranger
Richard Huber, of Santa Fe, have
gone in search of the murderers of
Juan Armente, who a killed and
robbed at Duran, a small station near
Torrance, early Tuesday morning.
The murder was a very brutal one.
Armente was an old soldier and had
gone to Duran to take a train on the
Santa Fe Central TO Santa Fe. Dur
ing his wait he went TO a nearby sa-
loon, where he spent an hour or so
drinking with some strangers. He had
about $50 on his person and it is sup
posed he was murdered for his money.
He was found the next day a short
distance from the station with his
skull crushed in and his pockets ri
fled.
Armante was a civil war veteran
and a comrade of the famous Kit Car
son. The foul murder has aroused the
greatest indignation among the grand
army veterans throughout the terrific
ry and they are sparing no pains or
expense to run down his slayers. Sew
eral good clues have been obtained
and arrests are expected in a few
days.
