CLOSING IF
 THE MARKET
 WAS ACTIVE
Market Closed At Top Prices With the Tone BriIliant-Ab- sorptions of Railroads and Combinations Rumored.

I |
 NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-There was some shrinkage in activity on the stock market today. in connection with recovery. The closing was very act i've and the tone buoyant at top prices.
 A feature was the circulation of rumoEs of proposed absorption and combinations of railroad systems There was great activity in all se- cuTities of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas. Following the present assump- tion, the sale of the Colorado South ern to the Hill system is fair index to what may happen to other south west roads with Gould outlets eligible for combination with northern roads. Opinion is halted between the Chi cago & Alton and St. Paul as the most probable absorber system.
 Considerable short interest has been built up in the market in the course of the sharper fall in prices which occurred since last week, and buying to cover was a help in the advance.
 Bonds strong.

A Former Jackson Woman Pass
eS Away at Charlotte.

Many Jackson friends of the
family will learn with deepest
regret of the death of Miss Sue
Woods, eldest daughter of Ex-
Chief Justice Thos. H. Woods,
which occurred Friday at Char
lotte, N. G.
The passing away of this splen-
did young woman, who spent a
part of her early girlhoodin Jack
son, was tragic. The story of
her demise is told in the follow
ing press dispatch from Char
lotte:
ssPellagra, the rare disease
which is battling the physicians
of this country, claimed it's third
victim here today when Miss Sue
Woods, thirty years old, of Me-
ridian, Miss, a daughter of JUS
tice Woods of the Supreme Court
of Mississippi, died at the Pres
byterian hospital. Miss Woods
has been under the observation
and treatment at the local hos
pital for three weeks, and physi-
clans have travelled many miles
to view the unfortunate woman
and, take opportunity to study
the strange malady.
DIR. A. w. Babcock, of Column
bia, S. c., who is making a spec
ialty of the disease and recently
returned from Italy, where he in
vestigated the malady as it exists
among the peasantry of that
country, held a clinic for the Wis
iting and local physicians.
DR.. Babcock states that there are
probably 200 cases of the malady
in the Southern States, but it is
only recently that it has been
definitely diagnosed. Two of the
fatalities occurring here within
the past month were of we'll
known citizens. The disease is
directly traceable to diseased
corn and is found to benoncom-
municable. Daily News.

David Langford Wilson died
Sunday evening at $50 O'Clock
at Water Valley, Mississippi.
after severe illness lasting only
a few days. His illness, intus-

last Friday, and it's severity
caused physicians and relatives
to be summoned. All that skill
and care could do, was attempt

man succumbed.
! Mr.. Wilson was in the service

and his temporary home was at
Canton, Miss. Only few weeks
ago he had been promoted to be a
locomotive engineer, a position
for which he had striven with
commendable ambition. The
future was bright for him, and
he had high hopes for an honor
able and useful life, but the
Death Angel claimed him.
The deceased young man was
only % years old. He was the
eldest son Of the late Willis
Wilson and Mrs. Bette Langford
Wilson, of Brandon, Miss, and
it was in that town that David
was born and reared. He was
alwaysa good boy, and became
a fine young man. His character
and habits were beyond reproach
and he was in every way a
dutiful son and loving brother.
His untimely death will bring
grief to the hearts of all who
knew him, while it is a terrible
bereavement to his immediate
relatives.
The young man visited in
Vicksburg last June on the oc-
casion of the marriage of his
Sister Miss Nan Wilson and
Randall eastman and he made
many new friends while here.
He is survived by his heart
broken mother, by three sisters
and two brothers. Mrs. S. R.
Martin, of Vicksburg, Mrs.
Oscar Thompson, of jackson are
aunts and Sidney Langford, of
Washington, D. c.. and R. w.
Wilson, of Brandon, are uncles
of the deceased.
The remains were sent from
Water Valley to Brandon, where
the funeral was held Immediately
after the arrival of the $50 train

From the time the message
came Saturday noon that he was

he was dead, the universal hope
and the prayers of all, were that
he might be spared. He was a
dutiful son, energetic, moral,
with every promise Of a life of
usefulness, the main stay of a
widowed mother and younger
