For the first time in several weeks trains to and from Mem phis. both the Rock Island and Cotton Belt, began Ion Tuesday and in a few days the old sched- ules will be resumed by both roads.
 The passage through the bot toms must necessarily be very slow and the railroads are ex- tremely cautious, all trains now running going through in day. light in order to insure against accident.
 The railroads have been doing their best to make ready for the big business which they have been expecting for the Confed- crate Veterans Re-Union begin- ming on next Sunday. The big "brass collars" of all the roads are on the field lending encour- agement by their personal pres ence.
 Thousands of passengers are expected through the Brinkley gateway during the next week.

REV. DANA TERRY RE.
 SIGNS.
The Baptist Minister is to Leave Brinkley. His Resignation a Big
 Surprise.

On Sunday morning last, fol. lowing the regular services, Rev. Dana Terry, pastor of the Brink. ley Baptist Church, rendered his resignation to take effect the last of, this month.
 Rev. Terry has been here for the past two years and under his administration the church has enjoyed "a most substantial growth. MT. Terry is undoubt- edly one of the most earnest and spiritual pastors ever in the city. He is a broad-minded, sweet spirited Christian, with a pleas ing personality and an earnest ness which is impressive and helpful. He believes in the higher standards of Christian living and breaches the gospel in such a plain way that those who profess Christianity and are seeking the way of the cross may easily understand.
 The resignation came as a veritable thunderbolt. Every one thought he was a fixture here and it is indeed a matter of regret that his resignation came. Rev. Terry will go to Northern Louisiana to accept a charge.

How is This, Boys, to Stick Away in Your Memory?... A Saloon Keepers
 Philosophy.

A certain lawyer who has a good practice now quit drinking whiskey and beer and other intoxicants, too, for that matter, two or three years ago, and he didn't take Keeley cure, either. A German on-keeper of whom the lawyer bought most of his liquor, administered the cure, and it has been effective.
 For several years the lawyer had been buying nearly all his drink at this particular saloon.
 He paid his bills there the same as he paid his grocery bills. Finally the old saloonkeeperl bought house and lot, and he employed another lawyer wh O never bought a drink, to prepare the abstract and the deed and to transact the other business in connection with the deal. The lawyer who had been the regular customer heard about it. He was filled with rage, and he went at once to demand an explanation.
 "Here!" he yelled as he leaned over the bar and pointed an accusing finger at the German. T buy all my drinks here. l have: spent hundreds of dollars l in his place. And then the very minute you have any work for a lawyer to do, you go and employ some one else. That's what you do. You go and, and -"
 "Vell, :" interrupted the old German in the midst of the harangue of accusation, when 1 I got business I want it done by sober lawyer.
 The offended lawyer turned and walked out, and his friends say he has drank nothing strong CT than coffee since.
 Now t hat is a most humorous story; it is very amusing indeed, and it is worthy an honorable place in the funny column of our: periodical literature. But what gives So much pointtosthe hunor is the world of good sense and philosophy expressed by this saloonke eeper. Exchange.

ran or the Fiery DRAGON.

One of the peculiarities of the an
cient writers on natural history sub
jects was the implicit faith which they
placed in the genuineness of the vari-
Gus basilisk and dragon stories which
were told to them. Brunette, for an
instance To the point, relates with all
soberness that the basilisk is the king
Of serpents. He wears white crest
upon his head. and such is the album
dance of his venom that the air Is
poisoned wherever this dire reptile
passes. Trees in which he makes his
home exhale such poisonous Odor
that birds in flying over are so over
come with it that they fall to the
ground dead.
The dragon says the same au-
thor, ais the very largest of serpents
and inhabits especially India and ETH
opia When he flies out of the caverns
In which he makes his home he fur
rows the air with such violence as to
make it CLEAN with fire. His mouth Is
small, and he has not the power TO in
fiict deadly wounds with his teeth.
In his tail, however. his power lies.
and with 1t he can instantly strangle
the largest elephant"

FREEING OF THE SLAVES
Vermont Refused 70 Furnish Troops
to Arrest Fugitives.

to Arrest Fugitives.
The Senate of 1861, like the Senate
of 1912, now in session, had some
very important legislation to consider
as the Journal of that year indicates.
Considerable debate was had at the
October session when the following
resolution was introduced and order
ed to lie and be printed
THAT the Governor is hereby di-
rected to inform the President of the
United States that in responding to
the call of the government to furnish
troops for its defense and for the sup
preston of the Rebellion, now man
acing the integrity of the Republic,
it is no part of the purpose of the
State of Vermont to furnish in the
person of her soldiers, force to be
employed in the arrest or return of
fugitive slaves to their masters and
that to employ them for such pur-
pose is highly offensive to the honor
and dignity of the State"
Later a substitute resolution was
offered and was ordered to lie and be
printed. This resolution read as fol-
lows:
Whereas, the present wicked re-
bellion against the Constitution and
Union is by the confession of its lead
ers for the purpose of establishing a
government which shall have for its
cornerstone and chief support the in
stitution of slavery and whereas the
institution of slavery being thus ar
rayed in all its strength against the
Constitution and Union rs in our
judgment entitled to no immunities
or guarantees not already provided
by the Constitution and laws of the
land, and whereas neither the Consti-
tuition or the laws of the land require
the army of the Republic to treat any
person until the question of owner
ship has been adjudicate by the APP
propriate legal tribunal, or to assist
in the rendition of fugitives from SER
vice or labor except in aid of the civil
power, therefore
BE it resolved that in the opinion
of the Legislature of Vermont it is
no part of the duty of the soldiers
who have volunteered to defend the
Constitution and the Union to assist
except in aid of the civil power Of
the government in the capture and
return of fugitives from service or la
bor."
Later Mr. Edmunds offered third
resolution that "the military power Of
the government ought to be employ
ed for the military purposes of con
quering the armed opposition to the
laws and of bringing traitors to pun
ishment and that its employment for
other purposes tends TO weaken the
patriotic zeal of the soldiers and is
calculated to bring just odium on our
cause in the opinion of mankind ;
that while innocent citizens in rebel
lious districts who engage in or aid the
rebellion justly forfeit protection of
law and they ought to be deprived of
all their property for the benefit of
the government and persons held to
service or labor by them ought to be
/ set free absolutely and forever"
On discussion of the resolutions and
amendments the yeas and nays were
| demanded and resulted as follows:

The entire populace of the town
answered the fire alarm and fought
the flames. They were handicapped
however. by the fact that only hand
fire extinguishers were available.
The library building caught fire
from the church and although all the
books were saved the building was
entirely consumed.
After burning for some two hours
the fire was got under control
None of the residences were burner

A slump In Kisses.

A Frenchman who apparently has
good deal of time on his hands has
been amusing himself by reckoning up
the number of kisses he has given his
wife during the first twenty years of
his married life He finds that in the
first year he dispensed about hundred
kisses day, or. say, allowing for birth
days and holidays, about $500 in the
year. In the second year this number
was reduced by half and in the third
year TO ten a day, while in the fifth
year his better half had to be content
with two day, one in the morning
and one in the evening. What hap
pened after the fifth year is wrapped
in mystery" but at the same rate Of
progression" he probably arrived
eventually at one kiss on the LIST -
