 -Hanford F. Donnally, the real estate man who has been away from Brinkley nearly all Sumner, during which time his elegant office in the Greenlee block has been closed, returned to Brinkley Sunday and will henceforth keep things moving in this city, so he says. MT. Donnelly was accompanied on ais return by MT. D. s. Constan- stine, of Chicago, who will hence forth be associated with him in the real estate business in Brink ley. We gladly welcome MT. Constanstine as a citizen and may he prove a loyal, busy Brinkley booster.
 Quite a number of Brinkley people will remember John L. Botsford, who in the days of sa- looms in Brinkley kept bar at Tom Jarrells saloon. Botsford went to Louisiana and entered the saloon business himself. On Wednesday night. Oct. 21st, at 10 o'clock, at Faraday, La, where lie was in business, Bots ford was shot and killed by c. R. Obu, a rival saloon keeper of that town. Botsford, 1t appears, was standing talking with the mayor of Faraday when the at tack was made and he was shot 5 times. His brothers, F. E., C. C. and R. A. Botsford, of Clar endon and McCrory. left at once for the scene of the killing ana were accompanied by their at torney, Judge J. s. Thomas, of Clarendon. The body was car ried to Natchez, Miss. for inter- ment. The man who did the shooting gave himself up and was bound over to await the act ion of the grand jury.
