Mr.. Ellis Dead. Franklin and
GreenbaCk News

Mr.. William II. Ellis, highly re-
spected citizen of Greenbackville, died
suddenly last Thursday night, aged "a
years. Mr.. Ellis had been sick for q
few days. He seemed better and ate
his supper, but in short while the
summons came and he passed quietly
away. Mr.. Ellis was one Of the earliest
settlers of GreenbackviIle and for a
number of years conducted very sue
cessful oyster business. Early in life
he married Miss Eliza Truelove, of Bal
timore, who survives him with five sons
and one daughter; namely. Messrs.
George H., Levi, H., William E.,
Charles r., Harry c. and Mrs. H. T.
Hancock, all of Greenhackville. He
also leaves seventeen grandchildren.
The deceased was an earnest and devo-
ted Christian, actively interested In the
various movements of the church he
loved. and those who knew him best
will long remember the low-spoken but
earnest testimonies in the classroom,
for he walked with faith and not with
doubts. Impressive funeral services
were held in the M. p. Church Saturday
afternoon, attended by large concourse
Of people, proving the love and esteem
in which he was held. Touching trib-
utes were paid by his pastor. Rev. E. H.
Jones, after which he was laid to rest in
the NJ. p Cemetery, there to await the
resurrection of the just.
While coming from Franklin City to
Greenbackville early Saturday morn
ing with the mail. the horses of Jim Hill
became frightened by the train and ran
away, demolishing the carriage and cut
ting one of the horses severely.
Miss Dellie Brown returned home
Saturday night after spending a week
with friends in Snow Hill.
The young people of the M. p. Church
are preparing to hold a bazaar, next
Friday and Saturday evenings.
Mr.. and Mrs. Taylor Redden attended
the golden wedding of Mr.. and Mrs.
A. l.. Tilghman in Snow Hill Tuesday.
Mrs. II. T. Hancock was away visit
ing friends in New Britain, Conn.,, when
the sad news of her fathers death
reached her. She was accompanied
home by her son, Mr.. Clifford Hancock,
of Chicago. who returned to New York
last Monday.

The next census is to be the most re-
searchful effort which the United States
government has ever made to arrive at
conclusions with respect to industrial
social, political, religious and racial con-
ditions and complexities. Many of the
questions which will be asked by the
army Of young men sent out by the gov
ernment to hunt the facts have an i'm
pertinent sound, but they are not imper-
tinent. They are really to be used i'm
personally they are designed for broad
and general groupings and only in their
aggregate significance will they lead to
conclusive demonstrations.
Thus, the governments young man will
ask: "Are you married, or single, or
divorced, or widowed?" And whatever
may be your status, whether single, dup
licate or united, you may safely confide
it to him. with the tacit assurance that
you will only be unit in vast aggrega-
ton. If divorced, you will only be SUBJ
merged divorcee among round million
or so of other Divorces. And as to the
young man who is putting the questions
and jotting down the answers, he will
soon get to working like a machine and
one sort of answer will not jar him any
more that another. In business way
you will be asked whether you own the
house you live in, and if you do own it,
whether there is mortgage on it or not.
The demonstrating does not begin until
the middle of next April, but begin right
away to brace yourself for the inquis-
tion. To the unrefective it might ap-
pear that much of the information which
the government is intending to gather
can never be of practical use to anybody.
As matter of fact.it will be massed in
to thousands of columns, indicating this,
that or the other ratio of human diversi-
ties, and these figures will be printed in
great tones. many of which will lie on
shelves and gather dust during the next
ten years. But there will be not a col
umn of figures published which will not
be analyzed and weighed and measured,
as to its sigificance, by small army
of reducters. The census report will be
more interesting than romance to some
people, and even the writer's of romance
will find material in these reports for
their color work. Baltimore american.

pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known to

a constitutional disease, requires con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces Of

About the Killing of Hoffman.
CoIfax. La, Nav 20. 1909.

Editor Collar Chronicle:
wish to call your attention to
an error in your publication as to
the killing of VIM. Hoffman by W.
H. Cobb. The killing did not take
place near the parish line, as was
stated, but on the Sweet Home
Lumber Co.'S works about % miles
southeast of Bagdad.
Mr.. Frazier is foreman of the
Sweet Home Lumber Co.'S steel
gang instead of the Iron Mountain
steel gang, and the killing took
place Thursday instead of Friday.
The men bad a difficulty earlier
in the day, and Mr.. Frazier bad
separated them. Cobb left and re-
turned with gun. Mr.. Frazier
did not see him until he was near
by. He told Hoffman to run, but he
did not hear him and he called him
the second time. just as Hoffman
raised up Cobb shot him in the
back. Cobb went into Balls mill
Friday morning, drew his pay, left
the gun there, and told them he
bad killed man, and to return the
gun to the owner. He then start
ed off in the direction of Tioga, and
has not been heard of since.
Yours truly, w. w. BALLIo.

day handed down decision in the
appeal of Roy Miles and Hargis Mills,
reversing the decision of the lower
court, and remanding the case hack
for new trial The syllabus in the
case is as follows:

and Roy Miles. 1. Defendants charg-
rd wit h a capital crime applied for u
continuance to the next session OF
the court on the ground of the TEN.
porary absence of material witness
for the defense from the State. The
application was supported by the
atfidavit of both defendants. 1t con-
tanned the fncts which they expected
to prove by the witness. The Court
refused to grant the continuance on
the ground that the defendants had
not shown due diligence and that the
fncts sought to be proved were i'm
material. The trial judge did not
state in what way there was want of
diligence. The Appellate Court is OF
opinion that due diligence was shown.
1t does not agree with the trial court
that the facts expected to be shown
by the absent witnesses were imma-
terinl; they were of the utmost i'm
portance to the defense. The YER
diet OF the jury and Judgment OF the
Court are reversed and the cause re-
manded for a new trial. Forthe red
sons herein assigned it is ordered, ad-
Judged and decreed that the verdict
OF the jury in this case be set aside
and that the judgment OF the Court
based on said verdict be annulled.
