MRS. j. S. THOMAS DIED
IN NASHVILLE JUNE 8

Death has visited the home of
j. s. Thomas of Sugar Tree and
claimed his wife as it's victim.
Mrs. Thomas had been in declin-
ing health for sometime, and her
physician and relatives, realizing
that something had to be done,
sent her to Nashville, where, on
June 5, an unsuccessful operation
was performed. She fingered and
suffered until Thursday night,
June s, at 9.22 O'Clock, when the
final summons came.
Mrs. Thomas was about 48 years
of age, and had resided in Benton
and Decatur counties all her life.
She is survived by her husband
and eight children. She was a
member of the M. E. Church
South, and lived a devoted Chris
tian from early womanhood. She
always looked upon the bright side
Of life, manifesting a joyful and
happy mood at all times, and she
sought to bring sunshine into every
life. While others frowned, she
smiled; while others hated, she
loved; while others, cold and indif-
ferent, turned their backs upon
those in need and distress, she,
loving and magnanimous, extended

We have specimens of second

Sometimes it is a disadvantage to
have a musician with reputation at
the head Of a hotel orchestra" said a
hotel manager I'VE found this out
not long ago. when people from the
middle west. who are among our best
patrons, wanted our orchestra to play
at a wedding in which they were in
terested and which took place in a
private house. AS the company got a
little warmed up they decided they
would have some dancing. so the host
ess asked the orchestra leader to play.
Would he? Not on your life. He was
an artist, he was, and it was not his
business to descend to playing for
dances The result was that one OF
the guests had to play the piano. and
we almost lost the trade of the family
we were trying to be especially nice
to."-New York Sun.

Germs In the Teeth,

Everybody knows In a general way
how important 1t is to give the teeth
a good cleaning and to rinse the mouth
out first thing in the morning The
object, of course. is to remove the &C.
emulation of bacteria which gathers
on the teeth. gums, tongue and palate
during the hours Of sleep. How many
germs do you suppose accumulate dur
ing the nights sleep? In answer to
this question e. G. Bousfield. writing
in the London Lancet, gives some in
teresting and rather startling figures.
which are worth quoting. He states
that he has found the mouth on wax
ing in the morning to obtain about
3,0O0.O00000 bacteria capable of being
removed by fivefold rinsing with
twenty cubic centimeters of water
each time. After ordinary washing of
the teeth with hard toothbrush
about one-fourth the number could
still be rinsed away After using
tooth paste only 100000 were left.

TABRIz ATTACKED BY
RUSSIAN SOLDIERS

London.-Fifty persons were killed
and many wounded in street fighting
between Russian troops and Persians
at Tabriz, according to dispatches
from the Persian government The
Russians have practically taken pos
session of the city, as all government
buildings and the telegraph Office are
in their possession. The dead include
a number of Persian officials.
Many private dwellings were des-
troyed by the Russians, who bonn
barded the city. There were coils
ions between the Russians and Per
slams at Recht and one or two other
smaller places. The Russian clashes
have caused considerable apprehen-
sion and complicated an already
tense situation. 1t is thought the
Persian troops will now remain in
Persian territory for an indefinite
period.
The news of the fighting at Tabriz
and Recht created great excitement
in Teheran.

The YOUTH OF
A MUNICIPAL
Jersey City Sets an Example
Any Town Can Follow.
PLAN UTILITIES SCHOOLS,


Practicable During Winter For
Young Folks Dances to Keep Them
Off the Streets.
Jersey City Matched new idea in
regard to municipal reform. The
problem of keeping girls off the street
at night has long confronted large cit
les. Jersey City. with it's large ele-
ment of foreign population. thinks it
has solved the question.
The Jersey City idea is this: Once
week the community Of young people
round about the public school Of their
district are invited to attend dance
at the schoolhouse. The city educa-
tional authorities play host, and young
people, some Of whom would other
wise be haunting cheap dance halls,
are invited to attend. The floor of the
school assembly hall is swept and
waxed, and from until 1920 o'clock
the dance goes forward with good
music.
e. A. Ransom, secretary Of the Soc1-
ETY. For the Prevention of Cruelty to
Children, was entertaining some friends
in his home when John Warren, attor-
ney for the Society For the Prevention
of Cruelty to Children, remarked that.
in his opinion, it was civic waste to
close the schools to the public as soon
as lessons were done. The schools be-
longed to the people, said Mr.. War
rem. and should be utilized for public
purposes other than the teaching Of
the three RS.
Mr. Ransom thought so. too, and
consequently the matter was put be-
fore the school board. which suggested
that a committee be formed of persons
interested in such a movement. Mr..
Warren and Mr. Ransom organized the
school extension committee
Though the scheme is far from
complete" said Mr.. Warren. never
theless we have passed the expert
mental stage. Our plans are to open
the schools for mems civic clubs two
nights a week. for women and girls
clubs two nights a week, for a public
lecture one night a week and for
dance one night week"
Mr. Warren was asked if the scheme
of schoolhouse clubs had been tried
elsewhere.
Eyes, he said; eft has had a marked
success in Rochester. for instance.
But as far as l know the idea Of mu-
nicipal dances is original. So far we
have only held dances in school 80,
but next winter we expect to extend
the custom to all the schools where
practicable throughout the city. This
can only be done with the aid Of the
board Of education, which, I may add.
is heartily in accord with our plans"

EXCLUDE AMERICAN GOODS
Russia and Japan in League Against
United States.

st. Petersburg. - Intimation that
the commercial treaty which is being
negotiated between Russia and Japan
is to exclude all goods of American
manufacture from Manchuria was
made semi-officially here. 1t is said
to be part of the tariff war which
Russia is preparing to wage against
the United States in retaliation for
the abrogation of the Russo-American
treaty of 1892
The unwonted speed with which
the negotiations are being carried on
here and at Toxic in order to have
the convention ratified within the
next fortnight if possible, indicates
that both nations are acting from a
more important impetus than origin,
ally mutual consideration.
