s antly killed yesterday after
noon by the falling Of the upper

s aft off, it falling with such
force as to go entirely through
the shed, and striking Mr.. Re-
pult, killing him instantly, and
badly hurting the negro fireman,

Philip Bruton Missing.

News was received here the
first of the week that the family
lof. Philip Bruton was greatly
alarmed over his absence from
home, without information as to
his whereabouts. since the 18th
|of October.
Mr.. Bruton's wife and baby
are at Ripley, the former home
Of Mrs. .Bruton. Mr.. Bruton
represents the FIGURING Mill Of
Spaata, ILL.,, and travels in this
part OF the State. his territory
covering parts Of the M. & O.
and Southern railroads. On the
18Th inst. he was registered at
the Cox House in Corinth, and
was due to go east from there on
the Southern railroad. Not hear
ing from him, Mrs. Bruton tel
ephoned to her husbands faith.
er, George Bruton, making in
quiry of him, but the family at
home were unable to give any
information as to his where
abouts.
Upon going to Corinth, George
Bruton found his sons valise
still at the Cox House, it having
been opened by the negro por-
ters at the hotel. their attention
being drawn to it by the odor of
ripe pears which it contained.
Further than this no informa-
ton has developed. as to whel e
he went or his present where
abouts.
Philip Button was citizen Of
Tupelo several years and held
several responsible positions
here. Atone time he was in the
employ of w. H. Topp and later
was a clerk in the postoffice here.
He was a. young man of exem-
plary habits. and was highly re-
garded as an upright, sober man.
Two years ago he was mari
ried to Miss Tigert, of Ripley.
They have one little child about
a year old.
The friends of the families
deeply sympathize with them in
the distress and appfeh ension
which they are undergoing. I'll
is feared, of course. that Mr..
Bruton has been the victim tf
foul play, but it is to be hoped
that the mystery which now
brings distress to his family ard
friends may soon be cleared al d
that he may return to- his fanny

KILLED BY TRAIN
Jeff Brandon Struck by Frisco
Train Sunday Noon

On Sunday msrninga the New
York Limited train,. which ar,
riyes at Tupelo at 11:30, ran over
and killed Jeff Brandon of Sher-
man, about five miles north OF
Tupelo, near the Mitts crossing.
The train was about an hour
late. The engineer, we learn,
stated that several hundred
yards before he reached the un-
fortunate man, the latter was
walking on the side Of the track.
The whistle was used to give the
usual alarm, but the man did not
seem to hear it and the brakes
were applied.
When the train had approach
ed within short distance, Bran
don stepped in the middle of the
track and the next moment was
ground to pieces beneath the
wheels of the massive engine.
AS soon as possible the train
was brought to a stop and the
remains collected and placed in a
sheet. They were brougt to Tu-
pelo and delivered to w. H. Ber
ry at w. E. Pegues' undertaking
establishment.
The body was so mangled that
no one could identify it, altho'
there were a number here who
knew the unfortunate man and
who saw the remains. By tele-
phone it was learned from Sher-
man that Mr.. Brandon had left,
there in the morning coming in
this direction, The. cap and
Shoes fitted the. description Of
those worn by Mr.. Brandon, and
the remains were thus identified

Obituary.

October q, 1910, many hearts were
made sad by the death of Mrs. Eta
Barton Martin, after AN illness of more
than six years.
Mrs. Martin was born March 13,
1881; was converted and baptized into
the fellowship of the Sherman Baptist
church in 1902; was married to ]. NJ.
Martin in 1908, and was devoted
wife. She was consecrated christian
and died in gospel hope. As her
health gave way her faith in Christ
prospered. To her loved ones she left
tue example of patience. bearing the
sacred burden of lite solemnly and
cheerfully, faltering not, but looking
onward and upward. She leaves
husband, mother, two brothers and
host of relatives and friends to mourn.
To these we would say, lot hope and
faith minsle with your sorrow She
has gone 10 be with her Savior, and
precious sister who joined the happy
throns some years ago. Let the thousht
of meeting your loved ones in hap
pier union than the ties on earth be "a
consolation. but for the only true COM
fort you must look to Jesus who so
lovingly said. He hath sent me to heal
the broken hearted" A Friend. .

Clowns from Twenty Countrie 5.


There are clowns from twenty
countries among the army Of
funny men that supplies the
comedy portion of Ringing Bros.
Worlds Greatest Shows. There
are madcaps. testers and fools
from the courts of Asiatic poten-
tates. There are buffoons, har-
lequins and e-herrings from
famous old Drury Lane. There
are sky-larkers and Punches,
chumps and cut-ups from Ger
man fete fairs. There are Mer-
ry Andrews and Simple Simons
from France. There are Jim
Crows and Happy Jacks from
America. There are giddy-gads
from everywhere.
Tho program is punctuated
with the richest comedy stunts,
farces, pantomimes and skits.
From thrills the audience is
turned to laughter, and from
laughter back to thrills. In all
there are fifty clowns. Each
lis a postmaster in the art of
making people forget their trou-
bles. They are the creators of
/ all things funny. They are unc.
tuous and irresistible. They
keep the arena in constant ac-
ton.

Letter From Col. Clayton.

CSl di uGdTC save Lie Eo0O 0l w
! state, / take this opportunity o
expressing my views on tn
Iquestion Of an elective judiciar.
in Mississippi. A constitutions
amendment providing for tn
election of judges and chancel
lors will be submitted to the peo
pie at the election on the 9th Q.
! November.
/ | am very strongly opposed t
the election Of The judges by th'
people | have confidence in tn,
people and it is for the good oi
the people that the judges shoulo
not be elected. Any mistakes II
the selection of the Judiciary fal
upon the people themselves.
In the first place it is a back
ward step. There is now an as
sociation to promote short bal.
lots and yet the result of this
law would be to add to the
length of the ballot with ad.
diLional resulting confusion. II
any amendments are to be made
to the constitution, let them be
something which is abreast OF
the best thought of the times,
such as the initiative and the ref
erendum.
The inevitable result Of this
change will be to- have the
judiciary more inextricibly mixed
up with politics than it is at the
present time. Judges are but
human beings and when of two
suitors before them one has Q
large connection and influence
and can "deliver the goods"
when it comes to election days
or is rich and inhuentitl, the
other if he be poor and without
backing must almost inevitably
suffer; elevation to the bench
never yet changed human nature
The proposed amendment only
APPLIES to the lower courts ant
the supreme judges are left an
pointive. What wi!s.s the re
silt? If poor nlaii Is 6Giscrfui
lated against by judge OF chan
cellor he must often fail Of hi
remedy because appeals to ths
supreme courts are expensive
while the rich man if displeasec
with the decision has no trosbh
in appealing.
A striking example of tht
evils of an elective Judiciary ma
be seen in Tennessee, where tb'
4mocra.ic party has been rent
il twain over a fight which origi-
mated in the Judiciary. | ex-
press no opinion as to the merits
of that controversy, but point. to
it as a warning against depsrti e
from the wisdom of our fathers,
The elective judiciary was tried
in this state in the years gont
by, and being found wanting was
abandoned and it seems to ms
unwise to attempt it again.
What is the reas IN for the pro
posed change? Who has ever
charged. much less proven, that
our judges and chancellors were
guilty Of corruption or favorit-
ism? Point me to one who has
been impeached in the last quar-
ter of a century. Then why seek
a change which at heart the peo-
pie do not desire. This proposa
seems to me to be a measure
agitated principally by politicians
and about which the people are
not wrought up.
My views on this subject have
been requested by some Of mJ
friends who are SO kind as 4
| fiatter me with the belief thai
they will be of weight. Looking
back oyer nearly half a century
Iof active practice, it seems to mi
an unwise thing to disturb exist
ling conditions and | shall cas-
/ my vote against this amendment
