Hickory Grove, May 27.-According
to previous announcement, Memorial
exercises were held at Unity church
last Saturday. Owing to the rain In
the morning, the crowd was late gath
ering, but despite the unfayorable
weather, quite a large number were
present. r. L. A. Smith, Esq, acted as
chairman. The old soldiers present,
their wives and the widows OF old SOL
diers were seated on the front peWs.
After the opening song, the roll OF
the soldiers, (30 in number) buried In
the cemetery was called by Mr.. w. 8.

called the roll Of the veterans present,
who were as follows: Ezekiel Childers,

ders, Jas. M: Cobb, Robt. Lanier, MO-
ses White, w. G. Wilkie, w. 8. Will
kerson, G. s. Cobb, John H. Green and
Alfus Mcdaniel.
Rev. S. D. Bailey was then intro
duced, who made a most FEELING ad-
dress on the Lost Cause" speaking
In terms Of highest praise Of the veter-
ans, who strove so faithfully Tor
cause, which they gave up, only be-
cause ofcipo"ciou W sePN
bers.
The next speaker was Rev. ]. L.
Oates, who made a very interesting
historical address, giving the causes
of the war, interspersing his remarks
with some funny jokes and laughable
anecdotes in connection with the terri
fic struggle.
Dinner was then served on the
grounds and after an hour OF social
mingling and handshaking, the crowd
reassembled in the church to hear the
other speakers present. Rev. II. -.
Thomson, pastor of Unity church, was
then introduced, who made an excel
lent talk along the lines taken by the
other speakers.
r. L. A. Smith, Esq, was the next
speaker, who entertained the crowd for
some minutes.
Mr.. w. S. Wilkerson then gave an
interesting historical sketch OF the
church, with "reminiscences Of his boy
hood days.
Messrs. R. w. Westmoreland and W..
S. Wilkie gave some Of their exper-
fences as boys in the war; after which
the crowd preceded by the veterans
present, marched In line to the cem-
etery, where beautiful floral tributes
were placed on the graves Of the SOL
diers, which had been previously mark
ed with iron crosses to mark perma-
nently their last resting places. This
closed the exercises for the day. The
crowd then dispersed feeling that their
time had been we'll and profitably
spent.
Hon. T. B. Butler of Gaffney and ].
l.. Strain, ESQ.,, failed to reach there,
owing to rain and high water In Broad
river which was out Of its banks.

with apoplexy at the home Of his SON.

WHILE Senator Tillman has faculty
Of expressing himself in such a way
that it is sometimes difficult to tell from
what he says where he is at, the rec
ord of his vote shows that he is decid-
edly inclined to protection, especially
where protection promises to be Of
benefit to local industries. When the
Dingley bill was under consideration
he secured the levy Of duty on mon
azite, because it was being produced ir
South Carolina and he also tried to gel
some protection for tea on account OF
the Summerville farm. He is still fol
the duty on tea, and his vote for duty
on lumber, regardless of the Democrat
ic platform, shows that his politics Is
rather more practical than sentimental

Glover, May 2S.-The Glover Cotton
Oil Mill and Ginning company fully
expects to be ready for business at the
opening Of the season this fall. 1t Will
operate eight seventy saw gins and has
already placed an order for the neces-
sary machinery to increase the plant
Of the present Clover Ginning compa-
ny, which it will absorb, to that size
and today Is the date fixed for placing
an order for the oil mill machinery. It
Is expected that the actual work OF
erecting the necessary buildings viii
commence during during the next two
weeks.
A part Of the necessary apparatus for
manufacturing ice, recently contracted
for by Mr.. II. p. Jackson has arrived
and he fully expects 1t to be installed
and ready for business within ten
days. s.ts
Mr.. II. L. Wright reached home on
Wednesday after having been absent
since February /, on which date he left
for New York to start on trip through
Italy, Turkey, Egypt. Palestine. France
and other European countries. He ex-
presses nlnSeI dS DeluB greatly ptodS-
ed with the whole trip, but considers
Egypt the most wonderful and promis-
ing country visited. The country Is be-
ing developed at q rapid rate and bids
fair to regain the commercial position
1t occupied In the days Of the ancient
Pharaohs. Mr.. Wright Is satisfied that
when 1t comes to human depravity and
degradation the Turks are the limit.
He was especially favorably impressed
with the people of northern Italy, and
says that fewer Of the class Of So
called Italians that we have In this
country are seen there than here. Our
Italians come principally from Sicily.
Mr.. j. Meek Smith has recently
bought and mad delivered to him one
of the handsomest and most powerful
touring cars yet seen In this section.
The wheat and oat crops throughout
this section are especially promising
and the acreage much larger than for
several years past. The corn acreage
is large and the plants are healthy and
vigorous.

May 19.-(speciaD 5-year- old daughter of Mrs Lovey Burge. who, 1t is said, was murdered by her hus- band in Atlanta last Monday evening, has been driven almost insane by having wit messed the horrible crime. according to statements made here today. It is said that the little child could not sleep at all last night until completely exhausted and until after midnight cried in tremb- ling fear that some one was entering the window to kill them.
 The body of Mrs. Burge was brought to this city last night. accompanied by her father. W. J. Sykes of this city, two brothers and four children, including the 15-months-old infant by her marriage to Burge, who, 1t is alleged. kissed the child after hacking his wife to pieces with a razor. The body was buried today.
 Judson Britain, the I7-year-old son of Mrs. Burge by her first marriage, tells a story of his fight to protect his own life and of seeing his mother cut to death by her separated husband which is vir- tually the same as that related in At- lanta after the tragedy

ness in the mining district has been al- most distressingly quiet during the past IS months or since the panic began in October 1907, the people of Walker coun- ty have never been discouraged. They realized that they had the goods and that the world would demand those goods after a while. It could not do without coal and timber always. These people are philosophers. For that reason they are happy.
 Jack Cranford describes the present con- dition in business with an illustration. He said: You have seen 1t raining and the sun shining at the same time. Well, that is the best illustration of the present business conditions that can site. It iS raining and the sun is shining" He emphasized the shining of the sun.
 Optimism Prevails.
 This is the basis of good health and nightmareless slumber. Optimism is half the battle.
 idly in Walker county as in all other seo- uons of the district.
 Walker county showed that it was not scared when 1t built the biggest and finest courthouse in the state. This has just been completed and Is a monument to this people.
 Jasper has an excellent water and light
 
 in the state. The county high school has just been located here and prepara- tions are being made to erect a suitable building. That the job will be hrst-class in every respect goes without saying. Jasper and Walker county people don't know how to do things just half way.
 Telephone Lines.
 The county is covered with a network of telephone lines. Many of the farm CTS even are connected with the central exchange. The principal points in the county outside of Jasper are Carbon Hill. Oakman, Cordova and Horse Creek. All these are progressive and growing min ing towns.
 Cordova has the only cotton mill in the world located in the cotton patch and with a coal mine opening in the yard Of the engine room. The fuel is dug from the earth and hoisted to the doors of the boilers. The cotton for manufacture Is almost brought from the patch in the baskets of the pickers. Most of the pre- ducts Of the mill just now are being shipped to China The Indian Head mills are managed by Scott Maxwell.
 Public Improvements.
 Cement sidewalks are being put down on all the streets and avenues of Jas per. About $15,O00 worth of this work hoS JuSl bCCA COulpiCtSo- Hc 6llcetS arc also being graded and put in good con dition throughout the town.
 The people of the county are interested in good roads and great progress in this direction may be expected in the immedi- ate future.
 The Northern Alabama is laying down the material for a new depot. This work will be pushed to an early completion. Jasper has an atmosphere of social ele- ganeo that Is considerably above the aver age of a mining community. Indeed bet ter social conditions and advantages are not found anywhere in the state. The citizens are progressive and up-to-date. It Is a community of contented homes and business men of sterling worth.
