Fifty-Seven Years Young.

One of the pleasautest and mose
beautiful events that ever occurred In
our city began Monday monrine at
eight and continued until bed time
last night
1t was beautiful because love
prompted IT. 1t was the pleasantest
because simplicity was the key note.
Eighty-seven years ago on fros-
ty December morning. Pauline Nose
BY first SAW the light back in the OLD
Dominion. Her life has been a beau-
tiful one, filled with duty and devo-
ton. She has endcared everyone
who has crossed her pathway and
so when friends began TO call upon
her yesterday nlarning, il took the
.entire day for the procession to pass
by. Oh others it might be said eighty
seNen years old, but of Pinyi never.
She is eighty seven years young.
They said: "Ol Queen live forever
but of this, queen OF good women
this queenly citizen, let us say, 20!
Queen live as long as you please, for
for if your days pass beyond the cen

Representatives of the Washington
Smithsonian Institute, who have been
investigating the mounds at Mound
Place, near Winterville, for the past
week, have SO far been unsuccessful
in their research They have dug Sc
veral holes ard bitches, and the onl =
things unearthed SO far were two
pieces of Indian pottery, probably a
hundred years old, and some bones.
In the locality where they are dig
g1ng, are seventeen mounds, in the
center of which is one principle
mound more prominent than the bal
a11ce OF them, which is about fifty
FIVE feet high. Other parties have
searched this spot prior to the visit
Of the Smithsonian representatives,
and have found many curious relics.
The party has been invests eating
mounds all through the state and on
this trip have confined their research
es to the country along the Missis-
sippi and Yazoo rivers. They expect
to find some relics that will in some
way connect these mounds with the

Helena, Ark, Dec. 3-Ihe verdict
of not guilty IN the case of Ben Car
ruth. charged with the murder of Ed
tor Scott of the Helena World last
August which was returned by the
jury Monday afternoon after several
hours deliberation, caused little sur
prise. The charge against Billy
Archdale, indicted jointly with Car
ruth was nolle pressed Tuesday.
The evidence against Carruth was
purely circumstantial and formed a
very clsm chain.
Scott was shot to death early one
morning while returning from work
following heated reform campaign
conducted by mis- paper, which result
ed in the enforced resignation of the
entire police department
Carruth was one of the policemen
who esigneds and had had trouble
with Scott before He was near the
scene of the killing and was charge
with the crime jointly with Arch,

Memphis, Tenn, Dec. 3-The sem

suicide of Mrs. Ruth Lyle, member
OF a we'll known Brownsville, Tenn,
family last night at the Macon & An
drews business college wflen she
drank bottle of laudanum in the
presence OF teachers and pupils Her
act created CONSERVATION, many of
the young lady students being almoss
overcome by the tragic event Mrs
Lyle was carried to a hospital and
received medical attention, her life
being saved only after long hard
tight by the physicians.
She was despondent over her con
dition. The fact is known by the
note she wrote to Rev. Lewis Pen
dell, in which She said in substance:
Il nave tried to be good and failed
Have been bad again and IT has done
me mo good aim determined to end
it all, SO here goes"
The whole affair is a very sensa-
tional one. Mrs. Lyle is a beautiful
young woman, only eighteen years Of
age. A prominent young man found
her here in fancy house, took her
out and was educating her, in the
hope that she might reform and live
uprightly. From the contents OF her
not addressed to the minister it IS
presumed that she had fallen again,
and becoming despondent over her
failure TO keep IN the straight and
narrow path, tried to commit suicide

we find a very different digestive
system, it is true. Nevertheless the
hogs ability to eat clover hay and
alfalfa hay and to make a good liv-
ing OF grass alone suggests the
practicability of using something
along with concentrated food as a
filler. We only advise the feeding
of corn-and-cob meal to growing
pigs before they are on full feed.
AS they begin to lay on flesh and
get heavy, cut out the cob and re-
sort to the pure corn, along, of
course, with some concentrated
food like tankage or oil meal.
Sometimes one may carry hogs
a few weeks in early fall on corn
fodder. OF course, even now, the
grain is OF some value, and this
helps out considerably, but il it is
fed in sparing quantities a bunch
of hogs will clean up, not only the
corn, but the fodder on a very re-
spectacle pile every day. 1t is an
ideal way to get hogs IN new corn
by compelling them, through a sys-
tenn of light feeding, to consume
the fodder. Where the preliminary
feeding period on new corn extends
over a month or so, and where it
is started on the corn fodder, we
have never seen trouble result from
feeding new corn. The trouble
comes when the hogs are suddenly
put into a heavy ration Of green
corn and are given access to such a
supply as to them to reject
absolutely the leaves and stems.
In our opinion hogs would be more
healthy if they were treated very
much as though they had the
stomach OF a steer.-Wisconsin
Farmer.

Bulky Food For Hogs.

Some time ago we called atten-
ton to the change that had been
wrought in the character of our
common breeds of hogs by the gen.
eral introduction of woven wire
fences. The introduction of these
fences means more exercise and
more green food, and as a natural
outcome, hogs so handled show
more stamina and are more prolific
than those kept in close quarters
and fed largely on concentrated
foods.
We have always believed in us
ing as much coarse food as posi-
bic for hogs until they reached the
age OF six or seven months.
We have found it profitable and
practicable in every way to grind
corn, cob and all and soak this for
a period of ten or twelve hours,
mix it with bran or shorts and feed
about all the young hogs will con-
sumo once or twice a day. We re-
aliZe that there will be those
among our readers who object to
this plan of feeding hogs, claiming
that there is no nutriment in the
cob and therefore it means the
expenditure of useless energy to
have it consumed. We frankly adj
NIT that there might not be any
nutriment in corn cob, and yet ex'
periments have demonstrated that a
steer will make as much gain on
corn-and-cob meal as he will or
the straight corn-meal. In other
words, seventy pounds of corn-anc
cob meal has as great feeding value
when fed to a steer as has SEVENTY
pounds of pure corn-meal.
Now, when we turn to the hos
