Concealed Weapons.

The discussions about the mu.
nicipsl election in Bresux Bridge
last week had been heated and it
was generally believed that there
would be trouble. We learn that
at this election. the very officials
of tho law, the deputy sheriffs al
carried concealed weapons, and
these concealed weapons on the
part of those supposed to execute
tho law, was tho cause of the trou.
BILE at the Breaux Bridge election.
Judge Simon at some previous
term of Court has made a strong
charge upon this violation of Law,
and We hope that the Court will
order a special and searching in
vestigation in this matter, and all
those found guilty of this viola
ton of the law, be given tho pen
atty they deserve, and the officers,
in particular, should be given the
full limit Of the law.
The time has come when tho
right Of man must be consider.
ed; the right of suffrage protected I.
and the safety of the citizens safe
guarded by the officers of the law
instead of being endangered by
them.
Only a full aud complete inves.
tigation of this election case will
satisfy the public and the severe
punishment of all those who are
found to have carried a concealed
weapon and who are responsible
for the unfortunate result.

In Memoriam

Whereas, Inasmuch as it has pleased
Almighty God in His wise providence
to remove from our midst by the hand
of death our beloved brother and fell
low Patron of Husbandry, Samuel
Armstrong, Therefore be it
Resolved, that by his removal we,
the Patrons of the Smyrna Grange
lose a faithful, devoted and helpful
member. We shall keenly feel the
loss of his kindly and wise counsel
and his efficient cooperation as a Past
Master of the Grange,
Resolved that however much we
mourn his loss we feel confident and
have this consolation that our loss is
his eternal gain, for "to be absent
from the body is to be present with
the Lord, 3"
Resolved, that we hereby extend
to the widow and children our deep
and heartfelt sympathy in their be-
reavement,
Resolved that copy of these re-
solutions be given to his family, also
that they be recorded in the minute
book of the Grange and published in
the "Smyrna Times.

 The shooting ceased. Silence feA upon the gloom of the dusk. Then came a calling between Smith and Wickwire. and a signaling of pistol shots for their companions Kennedy and Rob Scott dashed down toward the river bed on their horses. Sea- grne lay on his face. Young Reb- stock sat with his hands around his knees on the sand. Above him at some distance, Wickwire and Smith stood before a man who leaned against the sharp cheek of the bowller at the point In his hands his rife was held across his lap just as he had dropped on his knee to fire. He had never moved after he was struck. His head, dropping a little. rested against the rock, and his hat lay on the sand; his heavy beard had suzk into his chest and he kneeled in the shadow, asleep. Scott and Kennedy knew him. In the mountains there was no double for Murray Sinclair
 When he jumped behind the point to pick Whispering Smith off tEe ledge he had laid himself directly under Wiekwire's fire across the wash. The first shot of the cowboy at 200 yards had passed, as he knelt, through both temples.

 Marion smiled. "A year isn't for ever. Dicksie."
 Well, it's pretty near forever wher you are in love-" declared Dicksie, en ergetically. .I know just how he felt she went on in quieter tone He felt that all the disagreeable ex- citement and talk we had here then bore heaviest on you. He said if he stayed in Medicine Bend the news. papers never would cease talking and people never would stop annoying you and you know George did say they were asking to have passenger trains held here just so people could see Whispering Smith. And, Marion, think of it, he actually doesn't know yet that George and l are married, How could we notify him without knowing where he was? And he doesn't know that trains are running up the Crawl. ing Stone valley. Mercy. a year goes like an hour when you're in love, doesn't it?
