WILMINGTON GIRL HONORED
Miss Mary Baldwin Mitchell Elected a
Delegate From State Normal Col
lege to International Students Con-
VentiOn.

Miss Mary Baldwin Mitchell, a VIII
mington girl who is this year attend
ing the State Normal college, has been
paid quite a compliment by her class.
She was elected by the freshman
class as a delegate to the International
Students convention which is to meet
in Nashville, Tennessee on February
9th. Up to the present time, 4.500
have signifed their intention of being
in attendance and it is feared that
with the arrangements already made
that such a large number cannot be &C
cOmmodated.
Miss Mitchell graduated last spring
from the Wilmington High school and
made a very high record, having won
the Amy Bradley medal. which Is
!. awarded to the member Of the senior
class making the highest marks during
the year.

Mr.. JAMES MONROE HURT
Received a Severe Fall That Render
ed Him Unconscious.

Mr.. James Monroe while walking
along Red Cross street, between Third
and Fourth, late yesterday afternoon,
tripped and fell, his head striking the
granolithic pavement with great force.
He was rendered unconscious by the
blow and blood gushed from his ears
and nose. The ambulance was quickly
summoned and Mr.. Monroe sent to the
James Walker Memorial hospital. Lat
er he regained consciousness and at
the request of his family was carried

SUES HIS CHILD.
Aged Father Near Thompson Gets
Verdict Against His Daughter.

A rather sensational law suit
was called off in Justice E. F. FL.
liott's court at Thompson one day
last week.
Orlando Hit of this city repre-.
sented the plaintiff and P. H. Cul.
len the defendant.
w. w. Mayes, who is in his
SSth year, sued his daughter, Mrs.
Eliza Givens, for $3.50, which
Mr.. Mayes testified he loaned his
daughter to be returned when he
requested it.
Mrs. Givens testified that che
money was paid to her to purchase
a tombstone and to meet her faith
er's funeral expenses at his death.
The money was given TO Mrs.
Givens years ago, and 1t was in
gold. Recently Mrs. Givens bought
a monument for her father. when
he should die, paying $50 for it,
and her father saw it and approved
of the bargain, it is said. But
lately he changed his mind, and
the above action was taken in
court.
We understand defendant be-
fore the case came to trial offered
$3.50 to compromise, but this
was refused.

Twenty Years Ago.

The Laddouia Herald published
an article last week headed, Our
Girls, What the Two Boys
Think of Them" The said arti-
Gle appeared in that paper just 20
years ago.
The Herald says most of those
mentioned are married and are
still reading the Herald; some
have gotten lost in this big world
and some have gone to that better
land. The two boys are mystery
and will remain so unless they
'fess up.
Bro. Greer, the MESSAGE editor
'fesses up to writing that article,

Beal boys who were editing the
Herald at that time.

HON. JOS. A. POTTS
Colman's Rural World Tells of
This Mexico Mans Venture in
Texas.

Will Texas eventually rival Mis-
souri, and Kentucky in the produc-
tion of the popular gated saddle
horsel With the removal to that
states rolling prairies of Hon. Jo-
seph A. Potts, of Mexico, Missou-
ri, with band of the choicest
bred mares aud a young stallion
whose breeding is that of saddle
horse royalty, it may be possible.
This breeding farm will doubtless
form the nucleus from which the
enterprise Of Texas will, in but a
few years, be giving to the world
saddle horses that will compare
favorably with those of the states
now so famous in the develop
ment of this class of equines.
Missouri owes much to Joe"
Potts, one of her noblest
sons. His progressiveness has
done much for Missouri; it will
do much for Texas. Identified al
most entirely with the saddle
horse branch Of the equine
family, he has ever been found in
the front ranks of those who
had Missouri's best interests at
heart in establishing before the
world the reputation she now en-
enjoys as the home of the gated
saddle horse.
On a well selected ranch near
Encinal, some one hundred miles
southwest of San Antonio, will be
dOmiciled as good a lot of mares
as can be found in Missouri. These
are all stinted and in foal to lead
ing saddle horse sires, and next
year will be mated to a son of Ike
Lucy Mcdonald, recently pur-
chased by Mr.. Potts as the pre-
mier stallion of the ranch. This
production will be fit to rival any.
so far as breeding is concerned,
there, aud that they can be grown
to maturity and developed cheaper
than can be done on the higher
priced farms of Missouri or Ken
tucky there is but little doubt. In
the balmy and exhilarating air of
the southwest, which has proven
so beneficial to Mr.. Potts health,
he will be to Texas what, for
thirty years he has been to Mis-
souri,, and with his experienced
aid the present generation will
live to sing the praises
OF The Texas Saddle Horse"

IN CHINA.
Women Executed-First Cut Into
80 Different Pieces.

Q. M. Webster, now with the
U. S. navy and located in Canton
China, writes his mother, Mrs
George Webster, OF Pike county,
ILL.,, that he recently witnessed a
Chinese execution. Nine men and
two women were put to death.
The men are made to kneel in a
row and the executioner then pro-
ceeds to cut off their heads. The
women are first tortured before
they are killed. They are cut in
thirty-six different places. First
the ears are cut off, then the nose,
their tongues are slit. then their
fingers and toes are cut off-one
at time, and then their arms and
legs. If sailor kills a Chinaman
he is fined the equivalent of $l5.
Webster's letter is dated Sep
tember 8. He is stationed on a
small gun-boat captured by the U.
S. during the Spanish-Americau
war, aud which runs up and
down the pirate-infested Chinese
river.

FROM THE OzARKS.
D. ]. Atkins, Formerly of This
County, Writes an Interesting
Letter.

Lebanon, Mo-, Oct. 29.-Dear
MESSAGE: AS it has been a long
time since we have seen anything
in your paper from the Ozarks,
we will write short letter to our
old friends, to tell them that we
are still in the land of plenty.
There are few things that do not
make as great a yield here as in
Audrain, but others grow with
very little cultivation. If you folks
could have seen our fruit and agri-
cultural displays at the Lebanon
street fair you would have fallen
in love with the country.
We don't claim to have q get
rich-quick country, as some who
have left Audrain for new and
fast places have been looking for,
but if one wants to have plenty of
the very best to live on he can
have it in Laclede.
Farms are selling to men from
other States for high prices. Our
farms are selling readily for $50
per acre.
While we do not claim to have a
great corn country like you have,
we can boast of a more regular
one. Some years you are so dry
nothing grows, others are so wet
your crops drown out, while we
have more even seasons. Last sum-
mer you had quite a drouth, we
had plenty of rain and made extra
fine crops.
Grass and clover grows plentiful
in the timber. There is a strife
here for stock law. We think
it best not to have it where there
is so much fine range.
We would like to have some of
our old friends visit us and see
how we are travelling along over
these rocks.
There are only three of us in
family now. Our daughter, Lau-
ra, who came here with us, left
last March for a home of her own
as the wife of Walter Thrailkill.
She seems to like teaching better
than housekeeping, for she is now
in the middle of six months term
while her husband is boarding her
on his own cooking aud taking
care of his home affairs and pick
ing his fine apple crop.
There are great many ear loads
of apples being shipped from here
every week. There were just one
hundred wagon loads standing at
one time at one place waiting to
be received.
We could write for hours trying
to tell of the beautiful orchards of
apples, and that would not give
you a correct idea.
love to all of our old friends,
ID. JEFF. ATKINS.

Captain Grimes Now in Jail
His Victim Would Not
Apologize.

Troy, Mo-, Nov. 1.-Captain n
A. c. Grimes, who yesterday shot
and killed Joseph Hines and
wounded Jasper Church while
driving across his property at the
Grimes Fishing and Hunting Club

near the spot where the killing oc-
CURED, near Foley.
Jasper Church, who received a
stray bullet in the fieshy part of
the right arm from Captain
Grimes 32-revolver, was able to
appear and testify against him. It
was on Chureh's sworn informa =
tion after the Coroner had re.
turned a verdict that Hines had
been killed by Grimes, that the
Captain was held for murder with
out bail.
Only three witnesses were exam
ined at the. inquest, Church, Her.
man Gauke, a brother-in-law of
Captain Grimes. and William Mil
helm, an employe of the club
house. According to Coroner
Smith, their accounts of the shoot
ing did not differ in any material
point. 1t was shown that Hines
