BODY OF WOMAN
FOUND NEAR DEPOT

The body of Mrs. Earnest Desantus,
better known as Carrie Sellers, was
found early Sunday morning by Fus-
tus Jenkins on the track of the g., G.
& q. Ry., near the depot. AT the in
quest which which was held Sunday,
the jury decided that foul play had
been practiced. Close to the body were
found two bottles of beer, half filled
four ounce bottle of tinciure of opium,
a pocketboo< and sling shot. There
was scarcely any blood to be found
where the body was dragged by a
train which had passed over the track
short time before the body was found.
1t is supposed that the woman was
murdered and then placed on the
track. The woman is said to have
been seen several times Saturday night
and once in company with man.
Arthur Smith, of this place was ar
rested on suspicion and taken to Jones'
boro by Deputy Sheriff Swadley.

HIS LOSS AND GAIN.

AoA~ O~~~ sNAV~ ~e~osSs
She Tilted him because his father was
a blacksmith.
Scarcely believable comes the story
from New York that society girl OF
that city. engaged to a fne young bust
ness man. broke the engagement when
she learned that the young mans IA
ther, living in the west, is q black
smith.
One wonders
Does this pretentious young woman
know that the head Of the house OF
Vanderbilt was o ferryman or that the
first Of the Astors once peddletl mouse
traps?
Let's see.
Taking the story as 1t comes. figure
what the young man lost and what be
gained by the breaking Of the engage
ment
He lost heartless girl
He lost girl who seemed to him thu
fairest among ten thousand and alto
gether lovely-aud wasn't.
He lost a girl who cared so little fol
him that she cared a great deal too
much whom his father might be.
And, what hurt most
He lost beautiful belief that swee
appearing, gracious acting girls are mo-
always the simple, loving creature,
they may seem to be.
What did he gain?
He gained his freedom from a CIR
who was not what he thought she was
girl unworthy to be his wife.
He gained the privilege to go ant
ind q sweetheart-and wife-who viii
care so much for him that she will no
care a rap who his father may be.
And he gained the somewhat bite
knowledge that In this country, where
theoretically. we are all on an equality
there are snobbish young women WIZ
have not sense enough to love youni
man for what he Is and may become.
Now
How does the ledger stand?
Charge on the debit side few
twinges Of the heart. q few fond re
grets. perhaps a line in the forehead o
the young man that was not there be
fore and that time may never erase.
That's all on the debit side. How
then. does the balance sheet show:
Loss-Nothing except experience.
Gain-Everything. experience includ
ed.

And now perhaps tho Indianapolis
News will reprint on it, editorial page
the following item from the World Al
manac for 1911:
Under orders from Mr., Roosevelt
the Attorney General instituted pro-
ceedings In the courts Of the District
Of Columbia against both the World
snd the Indianapolis News. The gov.
eminent was completely defeated in
the Indianapolis News case. United
States District Attorney resigned his
position rather than assist in the at
tempt to remove the defendants from
their homes to the District Of Column
bia for trial"
Now isn't that funny?
