Cotton Plant, Ark. Oct. 12.
 A balloon ascension arranged here Saturday by an enterprislng merry-go-round" operator, in which the star performer was a large baboon, ended fatally for the baboon, when the parachute failed to open when it was released from the balloon by a time fuse at a height of 1 ,000 feet.
 Believing the form hanging to the trapeze on the parachute was a man, many ladies in the crowd witnessing the ascension tainted, and almost a panic was caused.
 To make the most of an unfor- tunate situation, the owner of the monkey packed the mangled re- mains in ice and placed it on ex- hibition, so that the results of a ,OO0 foot fall might be observed.

IN MEMORlUn.

Sometimes in the April kissed springtlme, the little flower we welcome as the snowdrop, droops and dies, but its delicate. face has inspired us to hope, and perfumed our life with thoughts of purity. It was even so with the blossom of humanity that blessed the home of MT. and Mrs. W. o. Scales, of our city. The sunshine of love could not warm her life nor the affection of parenthOod beguile her from dropping. Her breath went out like the exhalation of a sweetly fragrant minion of the woodland and in her stead was left only a holy and beautiful memory-a memory that will last and sanctify as long as parental existence. Little Virginia Scales died Monday evening, Oct, 5, 1908. The small body was laid to rest in the Odd Fellows ceme- tery. May Gods purest angels guard the little one's slumbers.
