Last Sunday night somebody, with
the idea of accommodating some easy
money succeeded in burglarizing the
Commercial Bar owned by W. c.
Dillian. They entered the main hall Of
the hotel and forced a door leading into
the barroom, where they apparently had
things all their own way for a time.
There was several slot machines which
they broke open. forced the money
drawer at the bar. and ransacked the
cash register which was not locked.
The money drawer contained about $40,
and the cash register about two or three
dollars, and this was about the extent of
the swag, as there was not likely to be
much, II anything, in the slot machines.
Billy says If the person that did the job
had asked him for the money the night
before he would have given II to him
and saved him all the trouble of break
ing locks. Echo.
Mrs W. Potter, known about San An

the county as regards the time she
lived in the county. For many years
she lived at Petersburg on the Calaveras

had a most attractive personality and
was then widely know throughout this

burdened and the bound,
have heard it change to crying, with a
menace in the sound
| have seen the money -getters pass un-

AS they went to forge new fetters for

All the gathered dust of ages God is
brushing from His book
He is opening up its pages, and He bids
His children look
Aud in shock and cohflagration, and
in pestlence and strife,
He is speaking to the nations of the
brevity of life.
Mother Earth herself is shaken by our
sorrows and our crimes;
And she bids her SOUS awaken to the
portent of the times;
With her travail pains upon her, she is
hurting from their place
All the minions of dIshonor, to admit
the Coming Race
There is growth in Revolution, if the

He who utters it unheeding, bent on
self or selfish gain,
His own day of gloom is speeding,
though he toll or though he reign.
God is calling to the masses, to the
peasant and the peer;
He is calling to all classes that the
crucial hour is near;
For each rotting throne must tremble,
fall broken in the dust.
With the leaders who dissemble and be-
tray the peoples trust.
And there are no chidren's faces at the
spindle or the loom;
They are out in sunny places, where the
other sweet things bloom;
God has purified the ALLEYS, He has set
the white slaves free,
And they own the hills and valleys in

When the flag was lowered at
the close of the second day at

Battery E. and the signal corps,

according TO the orders for

ESCAPED CONVICT
CAUGHT SATURDAY
NEGRO BY NAME OF ABE DUKES TAKEN
BACK TO FARM BY CLARKSDALE'S
DEPUTY SHERIFF SATURDAY
WAS ARRESTED IN COLUMBUS

A negro by the name of Abe
Dukes, a convict who escaped
from the Clarksdale county farm
about eighteen months ago, was
arrested here Saturday on advice
of county officials at Clarksdale,
and held in this city until Tues
day afternoon, when Deputy
Sheriff Taylor of Coahoma coun-
ty, came to Columbus and took
the prisoner back to the farm.
Dukes was tried for criminal
assault in Clarksdale about two
years ago and convicted, and
sentenced to the farm for sixty
days and a fine of $50. He es-
capped from the farm after about
five weeks, and if he hadn't let
his love for the national sport
get the best of him, he perhaps
woule have still had his liberty.
He was umpiring the negro
ball game played here between
Columbus and Clarksdale, sey-
eral weeks ago, and some of his
colored friends recognized him,
and went back home and report
ed to the county officials.

DEATH CLAIMS
MRS. GILLELAND.
ALL COLUMBUS MOURGS THE URTlMeLY
DEATH OF MRS. BESSIE CURRY
GllLELAhD ON TUESDAY
FUNERAL HELD YESTERDAY

A deep sense of sadness en-
veloped the city Tuesday when
it became known that the spirit
of Bessie Curry Gilleland had
winged its flight and returned to
the God who gave it.
Mrs. Gilleland had not been
well for some time. and came
here to be with her parents
hoping that the change would
prove beneficial. For a time she
seemed better, but the fever re-
turned and she was removed to
the infrmary where everything
that human skill could do was
done for her, but she grew
worse until the end came. She
was q years old. In 1907 she
was married to Mr.. Jack Gille-
land of Hartsell, Ala. By her
uptimely death a little nine
months old girl is bereft of a
mothers love. and a devoted
husband. loving father, moth
er, brothers and sisters are heart
broken.
Bessie Curry was reared in
Columbus and was loved by
everyone. She attended school
at Franklin Academy and later
|. |. and G. and is the first of a
congenial group of classmates to
be called Home. The fact that
she was just in the early bloom
of life with so much promise of
happiness is cause for universal
sadness. Her faith in the I'M
seen was at all times beautiful
and this should be a great COM
fort to those whose sorrow
seems almost too great. No
where will they find any COM
fort except in Him who has suf-
fered with and for us.
The funeral was held from the
Baptist church, which was her
choice in life, conducted by Rev.
w. A. Hewitt yesterday after
noon at 5 o'clock. The large
auditorium of the church was
filled with friends who followed
the remains to Friendship ceme-
terry where beneath a mound of
fragrant flowers the body sleeps.
Rev. A. A. Walker, of Hart
sell, Ala, took part in the servi-
ces. Those who acted as pail
bearers were Messrs. w. M. Cox.

PROCEEDINGS OF

REGULAR MONTHLY MEETIAs HELD AT
CITY HALL LAST WEEk---USUAL
MATTERS ATTENDED TO
THE TREASURER'S REPORT

City Hall, Columbus, Miss.
July 6, 1909.
At a regular meeting of the
Council this date, present, E. S.
Donnell, Mayor. and Councilmen,
Weaver, Smell, Vaughn, Moore
McClannahan and Steen.
After the reading and adop-
ton of the minutes of the last
meetings the following proceed
ings were had.
Messrs. Stinson & Mccullough,
r. E Ellis, J. M. McQuown, C.
l.. Lincoln, as attorney for eli
ents and E. S. Evans were before
the council in the matter of taxes
assessed to them by the State
Revenue Agent. and after listen
ing to the several parties the
mayor assured them that their
complaints, or rather demurrers,
would have due consideration at
the proper time.
Mr.. C. F. Sherrod, president,
and S. w. Greenland, general
manager of the Columbus R'y,
Light and Power Co., were be-
fore the council in the matter of
what the mayor had charged as
insufficient brilliancy of the street
lights, and stated that while they
were doing the very best they
could under present conditions to
give the city the light as called
for in their contract; that as a
matter of fact they were not Civ.
ing the amperes sufficient to pro-
duce a light commonly known as
a 2,000-candle power light. and
that with the present arc lamps
it was impossible to give the light
by the old company to |
furnish the city. They desired
to state, however, that the arc
lamps now in service were the
same ones the old company had
been using and recognized in all
cities as standard lamps; that !
they had made much improve
ment in the lighting plant and
had under way much more, and |
that if the council would only |
bear with them until such time |
as would be required to put the
plant in first-class shape they |
were satisfied the light the COM
pany would then furnish would |
meet the requirements of the
board.
On motion of Councilman Smell
duly seconded by Councilman
Vaughan, the matter of back
taxes as assessed by the State
Revenue Agent was then taken
up and the balance of the sitting |
of the council was devoted to the
adjustment of same.
On motion an adjournment was
taken until July 7th. at 3:15 p. m.
