the letters were written by blackmail-
ers. If they were taken seriously, he
said. the searchers would face the un-
tenable theory that Miss Arnold was
held for ransom by four persons or
more.
Mr.. Keith was disinclined also to
credit the reputed theory of the police
that Miss Arnold would return home
soon. There were no fresh clues in the
case nor was there anything upon
which to base such theory, so far as
he knew.
The trip of John Arnold, the missing
girls brother, to Europe, which was
made soon after Miss Arnold disap-
peared, had nothing to do with the
search. Mr.. Keith declared. The young
man went abroad in the interest of his
fathers business. the lawyer said.

Improvements at Cemetery.

The Evergreen cemetery board of

on a concrete receiving vault, with
capacity for four bodies, and it is
proposed to have this constructed at
once. The directors are also carry
ing forward movement for con-
crete pavement from the residence

terry gate. Mr.. Coombs has very
generously offered to donate strip
of land for the pavement, 50 that
the street can be widened, as that
will be necessary for the appearance
and convenience of the highway.
The cemetery company will bear q
large share of the expense, and it is
proposed to secure the balance by
popular subscription. Both these
things will prove of great benefit.
The vault is badly needed, as it is
often extremely disagreeable to
make interment at once, and this is
the proper place in which to deposit
bodies that for any reason are await
ing interment. The pavement will
be four feet wide, and is badly
needed, as it is almost impossible
to walk to the graveyard when it is
muddy. The next addition should
be a macadam road instead of the
stretch of some hundred yards be
tween the city limits and the GENE
terry gate.

OUR OLDEST RESIDENT
Mr.. |. c. Chatham. Joins the Great
Majority tuesday Morning.

MIR. l.. {. Chatham, born Sep
tember IL, 1884, died at his home
near court square at Io.45 O'Clock
Tuesday morning, from rheumatism
and a complication of ailments.
For some weeks he had been con-
fined to his bed, and several days
ago all hope had been abandoned
that he would recover. For Is years
he had lived in Greenville, and was
the oldest citizen, in length of resi-
dence, IN the city. Mr.. Chatham
was a member of a prominent and
well known family, and was widely
known over the county. During his
long years of activity he was en-
gagged in the furniture and under
taking business, but many years ago
he retired, and lived the remaining
years in subdued activities. lie
never sought public Office, preferring
the quiet avenues. He was a pru-
dent, frugal business man, quiet,
self-possessed man of social, neigh
borly traits, and had the rare facul-
ty of contentment which few hold.
In his death is removed another
land mark.
Mr.. Chatham was an old soldier,
having served on the federal side
in the civil war, and held the re-
spect of his comrades in arms.
Funeral services were conducted
by Rev. G.. p. Dillon at the resi-
dence at $50 o'clock yesterday
afternoon, deceased being a mem
Der of the Methodist church. The
services were largely attended, and
interment was made in the old ceme-
terry, beside the bodies Of his chill
dren. His wife, daughter, Mrs.
James Ingram, of the city, and one
son, Mr.. Murray Chatham, of Chat
tanooga, Tenn, survive him, as do
two brothers, Mr.. J.. G.. Chatham,
of this city, and Mr.. John Chatham,
of Arkansas City, Kansas, and three
sisters, Mrs. Lucy A. Tinsley, Mrs.
w. II. Dewitt, and Mrs. Jennie
Mann, OF this city, and their loss is
shared by many friends.
An impressive feature at the grave
yard was the attendance of several
