The SOnth's Marvellous Advantages.

Give free reign to your imagination
and let it picture the future OF section
which has one half of the iron ore of the
United States, nearly three times as
much coal az Great Britain, Germany
and Pennsy combined, which
holds world monopoly on cotton pro-
duction and is rapidly becoming great
cotton manufacturing center, which
dominates the phosphate rock and sui
phur trade of the world, which has
much of the richest oil territory known,
which has one half of the standing
timber of the country, which produces
all the sugar, all the rice, most of the
tobacco, and adds to these 800, 900, 900
bushels year of grain; and then think
OF its waterpowers, its splendid rivers,
its great seacoast, its expanding COM
merce, and remember that it's cotton
crop alone annually exceeds the total
gold and silver production of the world
and that every dollar Of gold annually
mined on earth is not enough to pay
the south's bill against Europe for cot
ton, and you will get just faint con-
ception of the future. -ManuJacturers

EIks Memorial Service

Last Sunday the Elks held their annual Memorial Services in their hall. Owing to the inclemency of the weather the attendance was small. but those who were there felt amply repaid by the very impressive and beautiful services.
 The selections rendered by MT. Barnes, upon the violin, accompa- nied by Mrs. Stacy Hibben, on the piano, were very sweet and affect ing.
 A mixed quartette composed of Misses Perkins and Bullard and Messrs. Raines and Amundsen. add ed very materially to the services by their choice selections.
 MT. J E. Ruffin's address was delivered in very impressive man. ner and was composed of most beautiful and touching language. which made a deep impression up- on the minds of all who heard him.
 Dr. D. J. Brannen, who follow ed pronounced the eulogy in very pleasing manner. giving the life in a measure of Jas. A. Vail, with gems of thought. The Doctor dwelt on the uncertainties of life and urged all to remember that we all would sooner or later be called up- on to give an account of our deeds done on earth.
 Mr. James Byrnes' address was equally masterful. charging us to so live that when we are called to that spirit world, we could look back with as few regrets as pos sible.

TAKES HIS OWN LIFE
George Henry, While Hunting In Mon gOllOn Mountain. Gets Lost and
 Commits Suicide.

On Wednesday, Nov. 2l. a party consisting of Mr. and Mrs. Ward Darley and MT. and Mrs. George Henry left for the Mongollon Noun tains. about 50 miles south of here, on hunting trip, and while hunt ing deer next day, MT. Henry be- came separated from the rest of the party. A search was then begun by MT. Darley and was continued until Wednesday. the 18th. when the body of Henry was found at a place about a half mile from Clear Gre ,k, and near Soldier trail, or about 30 miles south of here. As he had been without food for sev- eral days, he was probably driven to desperation, and in order to end his suffering he shot himself with the 30-3) rife he carried. He had evidently been dead for two or three days when found. The body was in kneeling position with the gun between the legs, where he had held it, the bullet having entered his face and passed through the brain.
 As the place was in Coconino county, Coroner J. o. Harrington came down from Flagstaff and a party went from here to hold an inquest and bring the remains in. A verdict of suicide was returned, and the party arrived in town this evening.
 MT. Henry was about 33 years old and was born Tn Warren, Ohio, where his folks now reside, and to which place his remains will be shipped Tuesday He leaves wife to mourn his untimely death. He had been employed as machinist in the local round house for some months past. -Winslow Mail.

Pemberton Trial

The case of Pete Pemberton. charged with the killing of Town Marshal Giles at Winslow last Oc- tober, 1905, was tried at Prescott this week. The jury returned a verdict of murder in the second de- gree. The trial concluded Wednes- day morning. The penalty under the verdict of the jury and the law is a sentence of not less than ten years in the penitentiary.
 The Journal Miner in the report of the proceedings of the trial of the case says: Attorney E. M. Doe for the defense, who touched on the evidence introduced tending to show that Pemberton, crazed from a three days drunk, was mentally ir- responsible at the time he killed Giles, and was therefore entitled to an acquittal, for which he asked.
 He warmly called the attention of the jury to the facts. as proven by the evidence. that Pemberton had been severely burned on the head when only seven months old, and later, when about eleven years of age. had been hit a severe blow on the head by a base ball bat, from the effects of which he had been unconscious for some time, suggesting that these and other in- jules received in his youth had a tendency to cause temporary insan- ity when his system was infamed with an overdose of alcoholic stimu- lants.
 His plea of the mental irrespon- sibility of his client at the time the crime was committed and for his acquittal, was among the most brilliant ever heard at the local bar. It made deep impression on the audience which filled the court room almost to overfowing, bring ing forth many favorable comments for the able attorney when the court adjourned for the day at the con- clusion of his great effort.
