wards. The ball entered Newsom's
head and he died four hours later.
Edwards escaped into Kentucky.
Newsom worked on the day shift
and Edwards on the night shift at
the Delorme pumping station, and
1t is stated that the tragedy resulted
from dispute about which one of
the two should clean the coal from
the railroad yards, The men met
wednesday night at the Grapevine
coaling station and soon after the
fatal shot was fired
Newsom was one of the best
known railroad men in this section
and was held in high esteem. He
was about 80 years of age and had
also served the N. & w. as section
foreman. He belonged to the track
mems organization. He was mar
ried, his wife being Emmaline
Vance, of lThacker, and he is sur
viyed by her and two children.
Newsom's mother, Mrs. Henderson,
lived at Dingess, and half-sister,
Miss Golf, lived in this city. There
is said to be considerable indigna-
ton against Edwards and reward
of 500 has been offered for his
capture. Edwards is a native of

About The Blues.

There are times when the average
man has the blues, and then he
wants to talk OF epitaphs and dead
mems bones and to sleep In char
nal house and to ride in a hearse
instead of street car With some
men the affliction known as the
blues is constitutional, holding sway
at regular intervals. while others
are merely depressed by existing
circumstances. Some are born with
blues. Jme achieve the blues and
others have the blues thrast upon
them. The man who is naturally
respondent is more to be pltied than
the man who has inflammatory
rheumatism. Though the sun may
be shining and the breeze murlnur-
ing, and the whole earth rejoicing,
he is still bowed by the weight OF
the blues. He doesn't know why
It is so, and he doesn't care much.
His highest ambition Is TO contem-
plate suicide, and sometimes to prac
tice IL, People tell him that It is
foolish to be so morbidly sorrowful,
and they are doubtless right, but he
can't help II, and so he goes along,
blue because he has 10 live, and
after while blue because he has
TO die.

The Test OF Herolsm.

Here am |: send me-"
These words mark the turning
point in great career. They we're
uttered at what is wont to be term
ed--"the parting of the way" They
refer to the hour when an ancient
Hebrew tired OF the life which he
had been living, and receiving one
glimpse OF the heavenly vision"
resolved that henceforth existence
should be something more than
barren waste. lie heard voice
calling him to a new career He
was not told that the new pathway
would be always flower-strewn He
was not promised a perennial greet
ing of smiling skies He was sim
ply informed that his hour had
come. Was he ready to enlist for
the service? Was he ready to take
the consequences? Was he ready
TO pledge answering loyalty to
new commander? In his own words
We find the answer
Here am /, send me.
The old Hebrew never regretted
the fact that he answered the call.
What visions were youchsafed him
in the after years Upon his head
was placed the circlet of divine pro-
pheoy 1t was he who told of the
coming OF the king the man of
sorrows and acquainted with GRIEF"
whose career, beginning with
Bethlehem and ending with Calvary,
should eventually redeem the world.
There is not a man or woman
now living who may not enjoy SINH
lar privilege to that which came to
Isaiah of old If like him they will
consent to respond when the call
for service comes. Their vision may
not be like his. but It will lift the
soul above the things of earth,
and show that heroism placed to
its sublimest test cannot be tested
in vain

Some of the teachers of the

cause of the employment in the dis
trict schools of the county of teach
ers who are non-residents when
teachers of as good, or perhaps,

opinion that the local teachers are
justified in their complaint. The
local teachers are entitled to the
preference when as good service can
be rendered by them as by an out
