No. 8 Off The Track.

Monday morning train No. 8, the
Washington and Cincinnati limited
was wrecked here at the lower end of
the G. Il o. depot about O'Clock. The
first engine of the double header passed
the switch in safety, but the second
engine, two officers cars and the mail
car left the track, and all that kept
the train from going over the embark
ment was the fact that the first engine
did not jump the track. Engineers
John Merritt and Jasper drove were
in charge, and it is said to be the first
wreck in which Engineer Merritt has
been since he7entered the passenger
service eighteen years ago. There
were number of passengers, aboard
but no one was hurt. The passenger
cars were taken through on a side
track with only half an hours delay.
Other morning trains passed on the
side track and little delay was expert.

Memorial.

To the Worshipful Master, Wardens
and Brethren of Greenbrier Lodge
No. 200 F. and A. NJ.
We, your committee appointed
to draft suitable resolutions touch
ing the death of Brother John ].
Dickens, beg leave to submit the
following:
Whereas, God, in his allwise
providence, has seen fit in his wis
dom to call from our midst our
most highly esteemed and worthy
brother, John J. Dickens, who de-
parted this life on Oct. 2, 1908, at
the advanced age of 10 years, nine
months and four days.
We find that Brother Dickens
has been member of this lodge
continuously ever since its organi-
zation, having been one of the
chartered members. During all
these years he has rendered this
lodge faithful and excellent ser
vice, having been honored to fill
the various stations in the lodge a
number of times.
Brother Dickens was an ardent
lover of masonry, and was always
willing to devote reasonable por
ton of his time to advance its best
interests. Brother Dickens was
not only good and worthy Mason,
but a Christian as we'll, having
been member of the Baptist church
a number of years, serving his God
faithfully until his three score and
ten years had expired. He was a
leading citizen and one among the
best; was a useful man in his COM
munity, being possessed of splen-
did business qualities.
Therefore be it resolved, That
in the death of Brother Dickens
this lodge has lost one of its oldest
and best members, the Baptist
church a devoted and faithful men,
Der, the community a most excel
lent and useful citizen, his heart
stricken wife and children loving
husband and father.
Be it further resolved, That we
bow in humble submission to the
will of God in the taking of our
dear brother from us, and that we
extend our heartfelt sympathy to
the bereaved family and relatives
of our deceased brother. Also that
a copy of these resolutions be
spread upon our minute book, and
that copy be presented the coun-
ty papers for publication; all of
which is respectfully submitted.

towns very near them, Chicago,
St. Louis, Memphis, Kansas City,
Shreveport, and Dallas taking
trade right away from their doors,
because the rates from these points
are much lower than those to in
trastate points. 1t was called to
the attention of the Commission
yesterday that cotton was being
diverted from Little Rock to points
in other states, and it could be
compressed there and sent here tor
storage, cheaper than it could be
shipped here for the pressing.
The new rates, if announced,
will be about 80 per cent higher
than the old ones, and will grant
the shippers of the state some re-
lief during the month, which will
will interve before the injunction
comes up for final hearing, for the
railroads will delay the date OF
hearing as long as possible. If the
railroads do not accept the new
rate, it will place the burden OF
proof upon them to show it too,
to be unreasonable uncompensatory
confscatory, and all the other nice
things the railroads have said
about the old rate. It will at least
give the shippers respite.
