the dead child reached his home
about 1890 o'clock Saturday night,
from Forrestville church, where he
had gone that afternoon to preach
the following day, the coroner's plans
were somewhat changed. AS it was
desired to take the child's body away
on an early train for burial, Coroner
Batson had to move the hour of the
inquest up. At z o'clock yesterday
morning he went to the Wrenn
home, No. SIG st. John street, and
empanelled jury. After viewing
the body he dismissed the jury until
3 o'clock Monday afternoon, when
they will meet at the undertaking
establishment of Jas. F. Mackey G.

lowing jury was empanelled: ]. w.

The Funeral Yesterday.
The body Of little Irwin Wrenn was
carried to Laurens county for inter-
ment. The family left with the body
at 8 o'clock, via the Columbia G.
Greenville railway, for Shoals juno
ton. Here the body was conveyed
several miles through the country to
Mt. Olive church, in Laurens county,
where the funeral and interment took
place yesterday. Among those who
accompanied the family on their sad
mission was the Hon. R. A. Cooper,
Solicitor of the Eighth Circuit, who
is brother of Mrs. Wrenn's.
Thought Daughter Dead.
AS has been stated already, the
Rev. John N. Wrenn, father of the
dead child, was not at home when
his little boy met his death. He had
gone to the neighborhood of Travel
lers Rest, where he was to preach
at Forrestville church Sunday. Late
Saturday afternoon friends telephon-
ed to Travellers Rest and succeeded
In getting messenger to go out into
the country where Mr.. Wrenn was
stopping for the night and carry the
sad news. The father was stopping
with Mr.. Brown. In some way the
messenger confused his facts, telling
the Rev. Mr.. Wrenn that it was his
little daughter that had been killed.
The father never knew the difference
until he arrived at his home about
1880 o'clock that night.

Highly Esteemed.

Mr.. Moore was highly esteemed by
hundreds of friends and especially
was he admired by the cotton mill
operatives, many of whom expressed
great concern and anxiety when they
learned of his critical illness a few
days ago. On his frequent visits to
the mills under his management he
learned them by name and ALWAYS
had a kindly greeting and pleasant
word for all. He always manifested
keen interest in the welfare of the
operatives and looked after their
comfort.-Spartanburg Herald.

cit is gratifying to the Board
OF Directors to think that the
stockholders and bondholders OF
Of the Company have so well
understood their intentions and
appreciated their efforts in the
stockholders behalf. Under the
terms of tie proposed sale which
was submitted to the Arizona
Corporation Commission and
was acceptable to them, tine

qulres all rights, title and inter
est in the business and physical
properties of the Company for
an amount equal to 900,
agreeing to pay 15c per share
for stock and 75c on the dollar
for the bonds, first however,
paying he creditors of the Com.
pany.
AS soon as the two agreed to
this arrangement. the matter
was placed before the Corpora.
ton Commission for it's consent.
Immediately after having re-
ceived same the requisite notices
were sent to the stockholders.
1t is evident that the stock
and bond holders OF the Over
land Telephone and Telegraph
Company are satisfied with the
action OF the Board of Directors
and Officers in selling to the
Mountain States Company on
the terms outlined above, for
the reason that during the last
two days there has been deposit

ING GOOD Time

In looking over the Portland
papers regarding Elks Conven-
tion news it is common to see
pictures of one or two of our
people in ever issue who are
having the time OF their lives
in that city at the convention.
There were but a few members
Of Winslow Lodge who attened
the convention but it was their
intention that even as few as
they were they were bound to-
let the people in that section Of
the country know that Winslow
is on the map. Some of the stor-
les told newspaper men have
some truth in them while Others
sound ather funny and are sur
prising and laughable to the
folks here at home.

CURIOUS BITS
OF HISTORY
BY A W. MACY.
AN INVASION THAT DID NOT
TAKE PLACE.

In 1886 the young king of
France, Charles Vi, was per
suaded by his uncIes, of whom
he had a good supply, to invade
En.vsand, and an army of 10000
men was assembled in Flanders
for the purpose. Great prepars-
tions we're made for the e<pe.

himself with a pilIard, or hired

of one of his uncles. BY N.1e
time the uncle arrived the king
had changed his mind, and con-
cluded not to make the invasion
after all. The army disbanded
and the stores which had been
collected were pIundered. The
boats upon which the parts of
the great tent had been loaded
got away from their moorings
and drifted into the mouth of
the Thames. The EugIish
seized them, and found the
great tent useful in a variety of
ways.

Characteristics

characteristics of some great
men are particularly interesting.
], Pierpont Morgan, for instance,
seldom comes to Washington,
but when he does his habit for
a quarter of a century has been
to stop at the Arlington Hotel.
At the time it was proposed to
interest Mr.. Morgan in pro-
position to tear down the old
structure and to erect one Of
the most magnificent hotels in
the country on it's site, the great
inancier took big block of the
hotel stock upon the stipulation
that the rooms reserved for him
in the new hotel should be ar
ranged in exact duplicate, and
furnished in the same manner as
the suite which has been at his
disposal in the old Arlington
for many years.
1t is said that Senator Penrose
who always stops at the New
Willard, pays $50 dav for his
rooms, and that the Senator
frequently proclaims that any
one who pays such fancy prices
is privileged to use or abuse the
furniture and surroundings as
he sees fit, and that he acts ac-
cordingly. The Senator is known
to be very rich man, and as a
bachelor has formed some pecu-
liar habits, one of which is said
to be that he frequently stores
the halt smoked butts of cigars
in his trOuser pockets, where
they are kept handy for use.

An Open Letter

was received at this office yester,
day morning with a request for
publication in answer to our
home trade articles published in
the column of this paper from
time to time.
The writer is unknown, having
signed no name.
We agree with the writer on
some things mentioned in the
articles and on Others we think
it a little off. But by all means
1T is wei! for our merchants to
read the article over and then
read it again. Itlooks as though
the people are beginning to wake
up the merchant instead of
which the merchant ought at
all times be after the people to
get their trade.
lhe article follows:
W1nslow, Ariz,, July ., 1912:
Editor of Wiuslow Mail:
Dear Sir:
have often noticed articles in
your paper about people sending
to catalog houses for goods and
as there are always two sides to
a question / wotld like to tell
you why SO many of us send
faway for lot of articles that
we might buy here.
In the first place, we are treat.
ed with courtesy by the people
we buy Of by mail, and in some
cases save as much as $1,000 on,
a single purchase including ex-
press charges over and above
what we are compelled to pay
the local merchant. After the
articles are purchased and they
are not satisfactory the same
may be returned at the expense
OF the house where they were
purchased Ottimes l have sent
for articles in stores in this town,
in case of articles of clothing if
same did not fit correctly and
an exchange was wanted, the
clerks became real angry just for
that reason.
Recently lady in this town
was told that her trade was no
longer desirable because she had
been overcharged and asked to
have the matter adjusted. We
housewives often buy our gro
ceries to be delivered and many
times find them short something
ordered and paid for. The deliy-
cry boy will say II will go right
back and get it," but that is the
last we see of him and it is then
up to us to get it ourselves. If
more attention was paid us by
the clerks we would do more
trading in the town.
One more answer. Let a labor.
ing mans wife go to a store in
this town to be waited On, and
the wife of a we'll to do man
comes along, some of the clerks
have been known to leave the
first mentioned customer and
wait on Mrs. Rich, and go back
to the laboring mans wife all
the time conversing with the
rich one.
So it is that the laboring mans
wife can't get the attention that
she ought to get in making her
purchases, she naturally looks
to the catalog houses for many
of her purchases of various ar
ticles.
Another thing. We do not see
any ads in the home paper of
what our merchants have as YOU
see in other papers, but our
saloons are well represented.
One more thing Mr.. Editor.
| would like to ask: do you
ever try going to church IN Win
slow? If not, try it and give us
your opinion. Some of us have
tried going, also to Sunday
