Total Prohibition for Iceland.

Recent reports from the Danish col
ony of Iceland show further advance
for the cause of temperance. Last
month this northern island celebrated
the twenty-fifth anniversary of the es-
adjustment of Good Templary By
order of the bishop, a general thanks
giving took place in all the safe
churches of the land.
Further encouraging news is set
forth in the report Of the result of a
vote taken on the question of absolute
ly prohibiting the sale of intoxicating
liquor in the island. Returns had been
received from 81 out of 27 electoral
districts, and the vote stood as fol-
lows:
For prohibition. .7,24l
Against prohibition. ............ .2,611
Majority ....-...-.'-... -. 4,ooU
The smaller and more remote cleo
toral districts still to be heard from
cannot change the result, so that alb
solute prohibition of the importation
and sale Of strong drink will soon be
an accomplished fact in the island
colony.

Our recent local relative to Miss
Perlena McRae accompanying Mrs.
DR.. McRae away, should have read
that they went down to Mobile and
not Waynesboro. They visit Dan
McRae family in the Gulf City. And
that reminds us we are indebted to
Dan for very clever lift in making
a connection of trains in Hattiesburg
on our recent trip. But for his
kindness, could have hardly in the
few minutes made the landing.

building in it, while now its dot

At last the mystery hat has sur.
rounded the death of Billy stiles, the
former Arizona outlaw, claimed to
have been murdered in Nevada
while living there under an assumed
name and serving as a peace officer,

Barr that he is the mar who killed
stiles.
Deputy Sheriff william Larkin
was shot and killed from ambush AZ
Humboldt, New, about two years ago.
His relatives in Arizona contend that
Larkin vas no other than Billy stiles
stiles full name was William Larkiu

While some have doubted that Lar
kin actually was Stiles and believe
that the alleged Identification was but
a ruse to throw p%ursuers off the
track, stiles being wanted for murder
and highway robbery in Sonora,
others have satisfied themselves that
they are one and the same man.

hopeful Of getting some advance Of
