Mary
Anne
Hero
BY Barr Moses


Copyright. 1912. by Associated Literary
Press.)
Grimsbys new shoes pinched his
feet. The road was dusty and this
dust, mingled with the yellow pollen
OF the rag-weed, was making sad work
of the lower part of his natty trous-
ers.
"Confound Marry Anne!" exclaimed
Grimsby.
Mary Anne was his cousin and he
was on the why to her wedding. He
liked Mary Anne the least of all the
forty first cousins whom he was
so fortunate as to possess. but she
was, nevertheless. the only one OF the
list for whose wedding he would have
felt it necessary to put himself to so
much discomfort and expense. This
was because Mary Anne was vain and
ambitious and adored Grimsby as her
one wealthy and city-bred relative.
He knew that to her mind her wed
ding would be but poor affair II she
could not have him and his present to
display to her assembled friends, and
being abnormally considerate OF the
feelings of others he had consented TO
go. and had spent far more money
than he felt justified in doing in the
purchase of a set of sterling silver
tableware in a neat wooden case,
which he had at that moment under
one arm, and which was very heavy.
In addition to the wedding present
,he was encountered with an umbrella
a suit case and raincoat
What fool was to write Mary
Anne not to- send to the station for
me-" he growled.
Now ! wonder how the deuce Mary
Anne ever found a man to suit her In
this Sleepy Hollow. where nothing ever
happens? She always had her heart set
on a hero a man with good red blood
IN his veins, a doer of deeds"
BY this time Grimsby had arrived at
a bit Of sequestered woodland through
which the dusty road wandered In an
aImless fashion. as II it had no clear
notion concerning the direction which
1t wished to pursue Hardly had he en-
tered this wood and turned the first
curve before a man. dressed in ready
made and ill-ftting black frock suit
and wearing a stiff-bosomed white
shirt, tall straight collar anS a pair
of cuffs which fell down to his thumbs,
strolled out from the shelter Of some
tall bushes, presented a revolver and
remarked curtly:
"Money'r yer lifel Hands up!"

N"Dont shoot!" he gasped. finding 1t
impossible to obey the command re-
garding his hands promptly and drop

as can"

one hand, slipped his thumb through

was tied and taking 1t and the suit
case in the other, managed to execute
the maneuver clumsily.

fiectively, you might have put them
down. It would have been easier"
Then he walked up ard unlocked
the wedding present from Grimsby's
extended thumb.

ally, and walked of.
For a moment Grimsby remained on
his knees. with his encumbered hands
still raised aloft. then he slowly low

MRS. EDWARD LoGGINs is DEAD.

All Greenwood mourns the death of
Mrs. Edward Loggins. who answered
her final summons on Monday Of this
week, suecumbing to the effects of
blood poison, Mrs, Loggins had been
| i'll for several weeks. and so brayely
had she fought it her struggle that it
seemed for awhile as though there were
faint hopes Of her recovery; but the
end came, and this splendid woman
answered her summons to join the in
Vulnerable caravan and meet the re-
ward that awaits women of her noble
character.
Mrs. Loggins was the grand daughter
of the lamented DR.. and Mrs. L. r.
Mclean, and the daughter Of the late
Judge and Mrs. Walter Mclean, and
was born in Greenwood; she had lived
in Walden and Wnona during a long in
term until she and Mr.. Loggins moved
to this city about two years ago from
Winona, where they were married on
the 18th of January, 1895
Mrs. Loggins was ardently admired
by all who knew her, and her social and
religious relations in Greenwood were
of the most pleasant nature, noble in
fuence in the wide sphere in which her
being was felt. The untimely removal
of this noble woman was a blow to the
entire community.
Owing to the water conditions it was
impossible to hold the funeral services
until Wednesday morning, when at ten
o'clock DR.. Joseph Rennie, at the First
Presbyterian Church, conducted sweet
service From there the remains were
carried to the Southern Railway and
transferred to the Odd Fellows Gene

GREENWOOD WINS LONE GAME.

The first game at Athletic Park was
pulled off Wednesday, with Pat. Nc.

seventeen strikeouts, trimming the
Hill Billies TO the tune of to 0.
Rain flayed the plans Of the fans to
have a romping crowd out to the initial
games and it was not generally known
that game would be pulled off We'd
nesday afternoon until noon, but a de-
cent crowd turned out to see the Collies
rounding into form.
Vicksburg used three pitchers, Wei
Ter, Hooks and Perritt, but to no avail.
Six hits were bagged Mitchell and Hett

who holds down the initial sack for
Mills crew, famed four times before
McGehee's puzzling benders.
Manager Collins released Gates and
Williams Wednesday, and the team
looks greatly strengthened by the addi-
ton of Warner, who was secured as a
catcher from Jackson, and Hett, an
outfielder, from Meridian. These east
offs" look good, and both figured prom
inently in Wednesdays game.
The team left Wednesday night for
Meridian for a weekend series, and
from there they go to the Hill City for
another fall at Vicksburg. The gener-
al opinion seeps that the Collies are
going better every day, and can be
counted on to keep the pot a-boiling.
