CHAS. JONES KILLED
over A WOMAN
Murder in Thompson Valley
Last Saturday-Man Who
Did Killing at Large.

Harvey l.. Simpson, wei
known white man, shot and killed
Charley Jones, in upper Thomrson
Valley on last Saturday afternoon.
Simpson used a shot gun, and was
within a few fee of his victim when
the shot was fired. The load entered
Jones left breast, from which he
died in a short time.
Simpson made his escape after the
shooting and has been In the noun
tains since.
Different Gauss are given for the
shooting, but il seems to be general
ly accepted that woman was at the
bottom of the trouble.
10 mes was indicted by a re-
cent grand jury for unlawful cohabi-
tation, and the principal witness be-
fore the jury against him was Simp-
son. Another report Is that Ill feel
ing existed between the men because
of the attentions Simpson paid n
daughter OF Jones. AT any rate il Is
stated that Jones had sent Simpson
word that he intended killing him,
and as soon as they met, at a turkey
shooting the trouble was renewed
between them. Simpson borrowed
gun from 'bystander, IL is
alleged, and approached Jones,
and told him that he had him where
he wanted him, and demanded to
know why he circulated the reports
about his living with certain wom-
an in the community. Jones, il IL
stated, said ne had ample proof for
all he had said, and that II given an
opportunity he would prove his allie
cations. Simpson replied in strong
language, and leveling his gun at
Jones fired. a large number OF men
were standing near. but, as is usual
ly the case, Simpson was allowed TO
walk away. Jones is said TO have
killed man in West Virginia-a
foreigner, several years ago., and
was tried for the ofrense and acqult-
ted.

BETTER DO YOUR
SHOPPING EARLY
Lots of Time Saved and Great
Worry and Confusion OBJ
waited if You Buy Now.

The early shopping idea, we hope,
will be extended to the subscription
department of the newspaper. Pay
your subscription early, and avoid
the rush and crash which ought to
come before Christmas. Pay up at
once while we have time to write re-
ceipts, etc.
Now, seriously, while the early
shopping idea is ais right the Early
Paying idea should be insisted up
on. III you owe, even a small debt
which is due, pay it now. Your
creditor may not be able to do either
early or late shopping, or any shop
ping at all unless you pay him what
you owe. Little or much, IL due,
try your best to pay 1t. The high
price OF bread and meat this year
will cut down, perhaps, the amount
which can be spared for Christmas
toys, and children will be disap-
pointed. Don't be selfish or careless,
but generous and just, and pay your
bills-tbe small bills are the most
important, usually, at this season.
Pay them today.

SMALL CHARGE FOR
RESOLUTIONS

1t has been our rule for years 10
charge small amount for printing
resolutions OF respect, etc., yet a
number of our readers do not seem
to know this. If we published reso-
lutions, In Memoriams, etc. free, the
paper would be crowded with them.
Such publications are not news, and
are of interest only to those immedi-
ately concerned, and we charge q
small amount to cover cost OF COM
position except in cases where the
parties are unable TO pay. Short
notices are free. We had case like
this: A well-to-do man came to
the office with long obituary no.
tice OF his wife who hal just died, In
which he expressed his great grief
at her loss. The tears ran down his
face when he read 1t to the editor,
but when he was informed that the
cost of publication, at about cents
a line would cost him about $I.20
his tears dried at once, and he put
the document back in his pocket,
and said he didn't "believe hi
would have 1t put in, it would dC
the old woman no good anyhow
This man was prosperous arr. ell
fixed, but was willing TO have h,
paper work for him for nothing, and
as the sequel proved, was not grievet
about the death of his wife SO much
after all Yes, we charge cost 70
resolutions, etc., II they are no
worth paying for they are not wortl
passing in the first place.

Too Mnch Ado About Nothing

-
What is the sense OF this talk by
the West Virginia authorities OF n
requisition for Mr.. Williams, attor-
ney general elect of the State of Vir-
ginia? Mr.. Williams il citizen
and lawyer of standing and respon-
sibiilty. He has not refused TO re-
turn to West Virginia for trial. We
assume that he will not refuse. The
whole conduct OF the affair 10y the
West Virginians suggests petty spite
and eager purpose TO infiict humilia-
tion and Injury. Mr.. Williams as
saulted with an inkstand in court an
opposing lawyer who insulted him
grossly. or course he was wrong.
Yet such occurances are not unfre-
quent. The usual result is repri
mand and a reasonable fine by the
judge for contempt OF court. Mr..
Williams has been indicted for fell
ony and now without opportunity
for him to declare his purpose, we
have threat OF requisition as II
he'were fugitive from justie or
horse thief. The performance will
not add to the dignity or sweeten
the reputation or our nei9hbor State,
nor tend TO make Virginia partiular-
Iy proud of her ravished offspring

practiced law successfully. Last
spring he was honored with the demo
cratic nomination for city attorney.
In Florida he was elected to the leg
islature three consecutive terms, and

while Springfield feels keen regret
that he is to leave here, bnt they wish
him God-speed, and, while regretting
his departure, are pleased that re was
with us so long He regained his
health while here. 1t was for that
purpose he came. He will, of course,
be a great booster" for Springfield,
not only as beautiful plac Ato work
and to live, but as a health resort.
And while he is saying nice things
about Springfield down in Florida, he
may rest assured Springfield will be
handing him bouquets" up here
which will even outrival the blossoms
of the sunny south.-Springfeld Qll)
