Fireman John Ruff, was hung at Cow
ington early Friday morning. Bowles
showed remarkable nerve, and mount.
ed the scaffold without the least hest
fancy. The trap was sprung at 6:25
o o'clock, and in six minutes BOwles was
dead. Only few people saw the ex-

arranged to have the hanging so early
in the morning, there was no crowd

Seven Months Term.

The trustees of Beverly Manor sch 90
district, Messrs. j. w. Todd, S. G.
Brown and r. L. Floyd, met on Sat
urday and decided to continue certain
of the schools for a term of seven months
Not having sufficient funds to con
tinue all the schools, they decided to
keep open the graded schools as fol-
lows: Fair Grounds, West End, Mint
Spring, Bolivar, Belmont and Acad-
envy. All the other schools have SIX
months. and pupils attending any one
of them will be privileged TO attend
any one OF the graded schools the sew
enth month. There will be no charge,
the schools being free to all pupils hv
ing in Beverly Manor.
1t is to be hoped that all patrons of
the schools kept open seven months
will continue their children at school
through the extra mouth. This is the
first effort made in the county TO give
any considerable number of schools
seven months term, and it rests with
the patrons to show their appreciation
OF this action of the trustees and keep
up the attendance, as it is the only
way to show that longer school term
is desired by the patrons.

Captain Tosier has taken up the man
hunt for the escaped federal convict,
Albert e. Bell. the mail pouch robber,
and has thrown out a Gordon OF. small
boats on the west side OF Mcneil
Island. Although the posse searching
the island for Bell has been increased
to so men, and notwithstanding that
orders had been issued to bring him in

has been discovered. The entire island
has been searched closely but there
are many places where the convict may
have found security. The weather is
30 wet that the bloodhounds cannot
pick up the scent.
It is believed that Bell sent word by
released convicts to confederates, who
made careful arrangements TO row
away from the island at some stated
hour Bell, who is supposed TO have

his father, the celebrated Judge Sher-

"Cumpy's" feelings. He uttered the
usual small boys threat Of running
away and accordingly retreated across
to a neighbor's, declaring that he, was
going to be "Ir. Kings little boy"
he awaited developments, but instead

judge that he had enough children
without him and hoped that Mr.. King
would like his new son. There was
nothing for 1t but 10 60 home igno-

father called him "Cumpy King for

The late Bishop Elder Of Cincinnati
tried vegetarianism for some months
during his residence in Natchez, but
soon abandoned the practice. finding
that 1t did not agree with him.
Bishop Elder dined with one of his
parishioners one night IN Natchez at
about this time. Vegetables in profu-
sion were on the menu, but the bishop
disdained them ALL He had had
enough OF vegetables for a long time.
He found the meat much more to his
taste.
His host, who did not know that he
had abandoned vegetarianism, said in
surprise:
"Why, bishop, thought you were a
vegetarian, and here see you eating
mutton"
Bishop Elder laughed.
'T am not a bigoted vegetarian" he
said. Il allow myself to eat the meat
of such animals as live on vegetable
food only"
