Miss Ida Lee Barber, of T-oup,
Texas, aged 21 years.
The deceased was on a visit to
her sister, Mrs. w. X. Ross. when
she was taken i'll aud after few
days succumbed to the Pale Rider.
The remains were sent to Troup,
Texas, for IntermeDt, Monday
afternoon ovei the L. & g., ac-
companied by her mother, Mrs.
Barber, and her brother-in-law,
Mr.. Ross.
In the bloom of her ,lawning
womanhood this estimable young
lady laid down her young life that
stretched away in brightness and
the fallness of its spring tide.
Lovely and accomplished, crowned
With many maidenly attributes,
loved and esteemed, her days were
as a passing dream. To the af-
flicted family amid their poignant
sorrow, is rendered sympathy
while the shadows of grief enfold
their hearts where the tendrlls of
love are left bleeding from the
grasp of the grim specter of Death.

Planting Interests.

A tour of observation last week
showed that the planters and
farmers had used more than Gus
tomary diligence in preparing
their lands. Not only had many
of them been plowed twice, but
narrowed and had the appearance
of garden spots. On many places
corn was already up and prepara-
tions made for cotton planting.
More corn was being planted than
ever heretofore, particularly in
the Red river valley. Cotton
acreage had been largely curtailed
and many places were abandoned
and laying out.
1t was also noted that more
attention was being paid to raising
hogs. cattle, chickens, etc. Gar
dens were well advanced and all
kinds of vegetables and garden
truck. already growing, such .
potatoes. peas. hG6irs, radishes,
beets, onions, lettuce, squash,
watermelons, tomatoes, rouquet,
aud the later vegetables planted.
Alfalfa was looking unusually
fine.
Everywhere there was but one
expression of opinion, and that
was to raise home necessities,
make cotton the outside crop and
largely curtail the acreage. Those
who had already adopted this
system were in good condition,
and if the season is a favorable
one. would be IN good financial
condition. There is no question
but that agricultural methods are
being thoroughly revolutionized
all over the State and particularly
northern Louisiana.

WALKED UP RAILDOAD
With GRIP in HAND
Agent Yeates Doubts the Theory of
Foul Play, But His Story Only Adds
Mystery to the Disappearance of
Brooklyn Farmer.

John Sellers, treasurer of the Brook
lyn local of the Farmers union, who
disappeared from his home on Sunday,
April 4, has been heard from. He
was in Make Monday night, as the
following letter from w. L. Yeates,
the depot agent at that place, goes
to show:
Editor Hattiesburg News: After
reading an account in your paper OF
the mysterious disappearance from
his home of Mr.. John Sellers on Sun
day night, April 4, desire to say for
the benefit of those who might be in
terested in Mr.. Sellers whereabouts
and movements that he came to Max
lie on Monday morning, April 5, pos
sibly before daylight, and made in
quiry about how the trains run on
| the Columbia branch, intimating 10
me that he wanted to go to Columbia,
Miss.
"He ate breakfast at my house and
left about am, walking up the ral'-
road tracks toward Columbia, carry
ing a medium-sized grip.
"Mr. Sellers made inquiry as to my
prices on livery teams, and asked II
l would let out teams at any time OF
the night. This latter inquiry led me
to wonder just a bit why he should
want team at night, when the
branch trains are all scheduled tc
come into Make in the middle of the
day.
'I presumed, however, that Mr.. Sci
lers desired to travel in the interes
of the Farmers union, as knew hin
to be treasurer and possibly secretarl
of the Brooklyn local.
ct can't believe that Sellers ha'
met with foul play, and hope that b
will show up in due time safe an
sound"
If the friends of Sellers who resid
in the vicinity of Brooklyn have hear
from him since his mysterious depar
: ure they are keeping the matter
themselves. 1t has been ten day
since his mysterious disappearance
and all efforts to locate him hay
thus far proven futile.

A special from Memphis to the New

"Official announcement from Louis
Berg, president of the Mobile, jack
son & Kansas City Railroad Company,
has been received in Memphis that
through train service would be started
from Mobile to Natchez May 1, in con-
nection with the Mississippi Central
Railroad. Mr. Berg states that the
proposition is a Mississippi Central
deal altogether.
1T will be a solid vestibule passen-
ger train, carrying a day parlor car
and a sleeper on the night train. The
Mississippi Central has been working
on the connection for some time, but
it is claimed that the track south of
Hattiesburg was not in good shape
and it was not feasible. Recently the
| company has spent over 100000 on
that part of it's track, bringing the
road up to standard condition"
Not Confirmed.
A representative of The News call
ed at the Mississippi Central Railroad
office this afternoon to ascertain the
truth or falsity of the above report
but the chief clerk in charge said tha
he knows nothing of the matter on
way or the other.
Several days ago a report was sen
out from Mobile to the effect tha
the Mississippi Central had closed ar
rangements to run freight trains int
that city over the tracks of the Nc

but this has not been confirmed.
