DEATHS AND FUNERALS.
Arcala Grantham.

Moselle, Mississippi, April 81
On Saturday afternoon, April %,
the death angel visited the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. A. Grantham, at Petal,
Miss. land took from them their low
ing daughter, Arcola.
She was Just in the bloom of life,
only II years and % days old. 1t
seems so hard to give up one with so
bright a future, but God doeth all
things WELL
The bright young girl was convert
ed and united with Green's Creek
Baptist church July, 1909, and lived a
pure, Christian life. She had not an
enemy, but all who knew her loved
her.
Her death was quite a shock to the
family and friends. She was in Blue
Mountain College this session, but on
April I her mother brought her home
with the hopes of her recovery from
an illness. Loving hands administer
ed everything possible to aid her in
the hard struggle Of life, but God who
giveth such a jewel, taketh her to a
bright home, only to await the loved
ones yet to go.
Her remains were laid away in the
Chapel cemetery Sunday, April 23.
She leaves a father, mother, two sis
tiers, four brothers and a host of
friends to mourn her loss.

BLACK Handlers
get COLD FEET
Intended Victim Was Man Who Cap
tured One of kidnappers of
Walter Lanama.

New Orleans, April 27-Although
the black hand gang which demanded
$4,000 cash of ]. Sansone, wealthy
French Market butcher, yesterday,
got cold feet and failed to show up
to get the coin, the suspense caused
Mr.. Sansone more or less worry. The
letter was received last Thursday, the
time limit expiring last night. He
was instructed to place $4,000 in a
paper bag and carry it in plain view,
was to proceed to cemetery near the
edge of the city and deposit it at a
certain place.
Following the receipt Of the letter,
Sansone waited at his home Monday,
well armed, but received no visitors.
Yesterday his brother, followed by
two friends, proceeded with a paper
bag that contained no cash, to the
spot designated by the authors of the
letter, but there was no one waiting
to receive him.
Sansone is the man who four years
ago, sinSle-handed, captured Tony
Costa, an alleged member of black
hand gang who kidnapped Walter
Lamana, and turned him over to the
police.

THE FIRST PHOTOGRAPHS.

Head longs. Long Exposures and the
Ordeal of Looking Pleasant.
An event was the taking of the first
photograph In the olden days, when
photography was still hampered By
pitchforks and long exposures. There
are few good baby pictures of ouI
fathers. The fond mother and father
sit bolt upright, frozen or petrifed.
while between them is a very starchy
little dress surmounted by a very
blurry little spot which represents a
composite of several partial likenesses
of the hopeful.
But 1t was with the child of ten or
twelve years that the old time photog.
rapher succeeded best, the child that
has reached the age capable of feeling
the tremendous responsibility of hav
ing picture taken. Every old album
such as used to grace the center table
In the front room, parades before you
a long array of these conscientious
young people undergoing the terrible
ordeal of sitting" Loving mothers
spent hours combing those smoothly
plastered locks tightly back and bind
ing them uncompromlsingl behind
with irreproachabe ribbon bows. Al
the last moment. after the operator has
screwed the iron fork tight up behind
the trembling head and has pushed the
huge camera here and there, ducking
in and out under the black cloth in a
most awe inspiring manner, mother
has slipped into range and given just
one more pat to the starchy skirts and
one more tug at the big sleeves, Then
there came the awful command. Look
pleasant" which the victim did by q
remarkable effort of will. usually at
tanning somewhat the expression which
comes over the face of Il strangling

announces that that will do and
the family feels the same relief that
comes to friends with the announce
ment that the patient has survived
the operation and is resting comforta-
bly."-Detroit News-Tribune

Near Moore, Tucker county, w.

dead while fighting the fire which
was burning over his land. This is
the second known fatality. On Fri
day Miffiin G. Gregory, aged 70 years,
was burned to death near Buckhan-
non, W. Va. During the excitement
| of fighting the fire Gregory was lost
sight of and later his charred body
was found.
Belington, w. Va, has been sur
rounded by fire for the last 48 hours
and thousands of acres have been
burned over, taking fencing, small
buildings and valuable timber. Hun
dreds Of men are fighting the fires.
State Forest Warden ]. A. vigues-
ney, is on the ground directing the
work about Belington. There has
been a stir breeze and the whole
Laurel Hill Mountain, between Bel
lington and Elkins, has been burned
over. There has been ne rain for
several weeks and the unusually dry
condition makes the progress of the
| fire rapid.
Work on the large band saw mill
operated in Belington was suspended
and the SO employees were taken to
