Dog Led the Way TO Body.

The body of George Burdette, IS years
old, of Concord. this county. who had been
missing from his home since Sunday morn
ing, was found hanging to a peach tree
near his home by Mrs. 0ffutt, one of his
neighbors, early last Tuesday morning.
Mrs. Offutt went to turn her COW into the
pasture, and her little dog, whining and
bowling, led her to the body of Burdette.
She Immediately notified the Burdette fam
ily and the body was cut down and taken
home.
An inquest was held by the coroner
Tuesday morning and verdict of suicide
returned.
Burdette left his house Sunday morning,
ostensibly for the purpose of attending to
his duties about the place. AS he had not
returned Monday morning Mrs. Burdette
called in some friends and asked them to
hunt for him. They searched all day Mon
day and we're gathered at the Burdette
home Tuesday morning preparatory to
starting out after the missing man again
when his body was found.
Friends of Burdette say that he had been
in poor health for some time. and 1t is
thought that he became respondent and
ended his life Indications are that he had
climbed up in the tree, attached the rope
to a limb and jumped off. He was about
65 years of age and had been resident
of that community for twenty years. A
wife and two stepchildren survive him.

not believe that the city's representation
should be more than one-fourth the mem
bership of either branch.
The Senators endeavored to explain that
during their legislative careers they have
never known an incident where the city
members tried to legislate against the in
terests of any county, but on the contrary
it was explained by Senator Linthicum that
during the fight on the Dawkins bill sew
eral years ago the county members voted
against the adoption of number of amend
ments which were favored by all the city
Senators.
Several of the committee said that they
did not believe that the membership of
either branch should be increased to a
great extent, believing that the present ar
rangement gives perfect satisfaction.
The committee will not meet again until
both reports are prepared, and then the
meeting most likely will be for the purpose
of submitting the reports to the Governor.
The committee was appointed to submit
report on the question. 1t will not pre-
pare any bills carrying into effect the diff
ferent reports. The Governor will decide
what course to pursue, and bills on the
question will be prepared by the Attorney
General.

Big Circus At Washington.

Ringling Brothers Worlds Greatest Shoy
is to visit Washington City on Monday anc
Tuesday, May the 10th and nth, 1909
coming this season with new laurels wor
at Madison Square Garden in New Yorl
because of the unprecedented excellence
of their performances. 1t is in all respects
the very best circus that was ever organ
lied, and the two performances which
will be given in Washington will be given
exactly as they were presented in Man.
haitian, not the slightest change having
been made since the season opened there.
There are no less than seven sensations
on the program, any one of which is great
enough to give circus distinction. There
are the wonderful Schumann horses which
waltz on their hind legs, drink from large
glasses and roll each other around in huge
beer barrels elephants that use the tele-
phone, conversing with each other over
the wire from one end of the main tent to
the other; the thrilling double somersault-
ing automobile act, performed by young
TICllCl gill NODLluOilO, TIC NlOAiSuh WhO
wizard; the wonderful Lorch family of
acrobats and 100 other great acts that are
new to America.
This will be the only opportunity for the
people of this county to see Ringling Bros.
circus, and probably never again will such
an array of European talent be seen under
one management, as the expense of giving
such program is almost beyond belief.
The parade will be given at 10 o'clock in
the morning and it is a grand spectacle.
Some of its features are Camels, Zebras,
Deer Elephants and Llamas driven in
teams like horses and harnessed to ornate
tableaux The parade will be three miles
long. The menagerie. too, is wonderful
affair, greatly enlarged and filed with
strange specimens of the animal world.
At the head of the menagerie is Darwin,
the missing link, which lives in a minia-
ture house with windows, electric lights
hot-water heater. chairs and tables. OAR
win eats with knife and fork, drinks from
a bottle and shaves himself.

She leaves behind to mourn her loss hel

My dear mother, how miss you.
Miss you more than hearts can tell,
Every hour and day that passes
Brings me nearer with you to dwell.
Friends may think will soon forget you
And my wounded heart be healed,
But they little know the sorrow
That's within my heart concealed.
There are lots who bear mothers name
But few who fill the place:
But not so with our dear mother.
Oh, how miss her loving face.
You are not forgotten. mother, dear,
Nor will you ever be,
AS long as life and memory last
will remember thee.
All her pains and grief are over,
Every restless, tossing passed,
She is now at peace forever,
Safely at home with Jesus to dwell.

Died at the residence of her sister, Maud
Annette Waters, Baltimore, Md. April 18th,
1909, Larna Virginia Veirs, widow of the
late John H. Veirs, aged So years.
Just like withered flower we saw her
fade, her strength gradually leaving her.
But still we had hopes until the last, think
ing some day she would gain her health
and strength and would be with her loved
ones little longer. But our Heavenly
Father knew it was best to take her from
this world of sorrow and suffering and be
at rest with Him who gaveher. Our chain
is broken, link by link is taken away.
Father, mother and sister are all gone to
join the links above. Now there is only one
link left out of the happy union. Oh, God,
how mysterious and strange are Thy ways,
to take our loved ones at the time they are
needed the most An only son is left in
despair and disconsolation to mourn her
loss, who was loved and cherished beyond
comprehension. But Gods ways are not
our ways, so rest on sweet spirit, until the
resurrection day.
By her loving sister, A. M. G.
