OFFICIALS MADE INSPECTIONS
The officials of the Rhode Island COM
pany are determined that passengers on
the late cars 10 Attleboro shall not be dis
turbed by the aggregation OF drunks who
have for some time past made the life or
respectable people very miserable when
they have been Obliged to patronize these
cars. The order went out a week ago that
drunken or obnoxious passengers should
not be allowed TO ride on these cars and
the order was pretty well obeyed.
Last Saturday night II appeared that
some of the bibulous ones had forgotten
the warning and the result was that they
were Obliged to walk home Every car
which left Main street square headed for
Attleboro or North Attleboro was visited
by an inspector and any man who gave
any indication of being under the influ-
ence OF liquor was obliged TO get off. But
this was not all. Employees other than the
conductor rode on each one Of these cars
To the city line and whenever any man
appeared along the route who gave any
irdication OF giving possible trouble, he
was also obliged 20 disembark.
As the result OF this there was quite a
good number who found that the Rhode
Island company did not want their money
and II may be that the lesson will be a
good one. At any rate the practice OF I'LL

soing home I'm the ears of the Rhode ISL

treat, the savages erected a fun
eral pile and condemned all their
prisoners to die by the flames.
They tortured and burnt them
one by one, while they themselves
sang their war songs and danced
the funeral dirge. They prolong-
ed the torture and misery so long
in the case of each separate SOL
der that it was horrifying to be-
hold. Finally, the Catholic
priests, who were among the pris-
oners and awaiting their turn,
pursuaded the soldiers to shorten
their hours of suspense and agony
by rushing into the flames and
dying together. And so at a given
signal. they all, priests and SOL
diers, chanting the Miserere,
rushed into the fire in a body and
were consumed by the flames.
Their ashes constitute part of
the soil of Lee county, and prob
ably of the town of Tupelo. This
battle was fought in May or June,
1871. The Indian braves and the
French long ago abandoned this
wonderful Ell Dorado, and its
swamps and woods have given
way to the industry and intelli-
gence of the Anglo Saxon race,
and it's fields wave with corn and
flash with the fleecy staple.

Information was received Tuesday
morning from John Ezell that his faith
er, Mr.. o. M. Ezell. had died at 1890
in the morning at Hinsdale, Illinois,
suburb of Chicago. A few weeks ago
the close friends of the family received
news, with regret, that Mr.. Ezell had
fallen and sustained injuries from which
it was doubtful as to his recovery. He
failed to rally and died as stated above
on the morning of the 9Th. For the
past two years Mr.. Ezell had made his
home at Hinsdale with his son and fam
lily, John Ezell being employed with
the Western Union Telegraph Co. in
Chicago. The death of MIR. Ezell re-
moves another of the older citizens of
Tupelo, a man whose whole life has
been shining example to his fellow
man and a benediction to every one
with whom he has been associated. He
was life long member of the Primi-
tive Baptist church and followed closely
the teachings and practices of the Mas
ter. No man came nearer than he IN
