doomed to murder by the Hargis clan.
Marcum Shot Down.

Marcum went TO the court house In
Jackson to transact some business.
He was standing at the door OF the

gered from the steps and fell dying,
but the assassin stepped up. and. TO
make sure. shot him again through
the back OF the head. The assassin
was Curt" Jet, the wild dog" who
has since confessed his part in this
tragedy.
Judge Hargis will be buried In
81 500 casket which he himself pur

TWO IDEAS FOR sUNsHADEs.
Pretty Trimming That Need Not Be
In Any Way Costly.

A plain sunshade Of habutai rivals
the handsomest of its kind when lined
by mousseline de sole to which
splashy cretonne roses are sewn.
When the parasol is folded. no one
would imagine 1t to be anything but
white, but when 1t Is opened and the
sun shines through the thin materials,
the cover seems to have faint design
of roses, almost invisible and alto
gether alluring.
Any one can carry out the idea by
buying a white parasol and lining it.
Not many roses need be used; in fact,
only few-just a uggestion-give
the prettiest effect. They are best
placed in a row about three inches
above the edge of the sunshade, and
about two on each panel are quite suf-
ficient This makes 16 in all for the
average parasol.
For a more elaborate sunshade. the
outer border might be formed of large
roses, and toward the stick the flow
ers might become smaller, thus max
ing a decoration for the whole. Great
care must be taken in choosing the
flowers that the effect is not overdone
ard made ordinary.
