It was rumored here today that Lieu tenant Robert Wilkins, who has myste- riously disappeared from his home in Ok ford. is in Salt Lake City. His aged parents are greatly depressed over his unaceountable departure, but they are still unable to give an exact cause for his flight. His connection with the recent city court grand jury, which has been severely criticised. is not now believed to have anything to do with his leaving. NJ. N.

Schools to Have Holiday

D. R. Murphey, superintendent of the Anniston public schools, said Friday evening that there will be no classes in the grades of the teachers who at tend the meeting of the Alabama Edu- cational association, which meets in Birmingham on March 24-26, and due to this fact Anniston will probably send d large delegation to the meeting.
 One of these days comes on Good Fri day and another on Saturday, so that only one school day will be missed. Pre- vision to this effect was made at a re- cent meeting of the Annisfon board of education, which also adopted resolu- tions governing the distribution of ad- vertising matter in the sch ools, the making of announcements, which, it Is said. have given considerable trouble to the teachers heretofore.

 Team Work Needed
 "Therefore, you have to have what Is known on the football field and golf links. team work. The party has to get together; the extremes on one side and the conservatives on the other side, and both must surrender something if their individual views antagonize the party, and they must get the thing through by team work. That is what I am hopeful of your Congress doing.
 That they may differ in respects to the details of the various bills. Is to be expected. But if they are really in ia vor. all of them, of enacting useful leg islation. then they must be willing to sacrifice some of their views in order that there shall be a compromise meas ure of real improvement, and real step forward, in order to show to the people that the party which has as stunned responsibility has the sense and ed iseipline to meet it by subordina- tion of smaller views to the great ques- ton of human progress.

TWO NEGROES HANGED
 BY ARKANSAS MOB

Marion, Ark, March 1s.-Bob Austin and Charles Richardson, negroes, were lynched at an early hour this morning in the courthouse square by mob of 300 citizens. The victims were charged with aiding and abetting a jail delivery which occurred here Monday night.
 Richardson was arrested in Memphis yesterday and was brought here early last night. While on the way to the local hotel a mob overpowered Sheriff Lewis and secured the prisoners. Charles Rich ardson confessed to complicity in aiding the escape of the prisoners and impli- cated Bob Austin The latter was imme- datey apprehended and it looked as if the trembling prisoners would be hanged on the spot Cooler council prevailed, however, and these two men were given over to the sheriff.
 At o'clock this morning a mob quietly formed and marched to the jail The negroes were secured and hanged to tree in front of the courthouse.
 The mob was orderly and went about it's work in business-lilSe fashion.

Sad Death Of an Infant

A sad death occurred eight miles
north of Stonington last Monday morn
ing, as Mrs w. A. Greathouse went to
her bed room to get her five months
old baby boy, what was her grief and
horror to find her darling lying cold in
deaths embrace. In the silent hours of
the night, nestled close to the side OF
its sleeping mother, the little spirit had
gone to be with Jesus.
Indications point to Group as the
cause of its death; the little one did
pot seem quite well the night before,
but nothing serious was thought of;
what makes it especially hard for the
young mother is the absence of the
husband and father: up to this time,
both telephone and telegraph have
failed to get him.
Funeral services conducted by Rev.
Dean at Stonington school house at II
o'clock, Wednesday; burial in Stoning-
ton cemetery.
The young parents have the sympa-
thy of their many friends in this sad
hour; may their hearts turn from COM
fort to the One who doeth all things
well.
