Hotel Man Had To Leave.

his hotel furnished supper to
about 1000 negroes, en- route to
a Baptist convention in Nash
vile, Tennessee, Manager c..
H. Dickey of a we'll known no.
tel of Wynne has ceased to
make Wynne his place of resi-
dence. Mr.. Dickey decided to
leave Wynne after he had been
advised by a committee of citi-
zens that there were other COM
munities where his presence
might be more desired. Mr..
Dickey left at an early hour this
morning.
The negroes arrived last night
on a special train, and alighting
at the station where the hotel
is located, crowded into the din
ing room of the hotel. This no.
tel has white girl walters, who
were forced to wait on the ne
groes, and this soon led to many
murmurs of complaint. A meet
ing was held, and a committee
named to advise Mr.. Dickey of
the wrath of the citizens and
their desire that he leave Wynne
on the first train.

Three Form Pact to Die.

Glenwood, Sept. 17.-"There
is no use asking questions. The
bottle on the dresser will tell
how it happened. We are tired
of living and all wanted to go to-
gether. We're dressed for bur-
ial. You can find enough money
in the dresser drawer to give us
a cheap burial"
This was the note found this
afternoon beside the lifeless
bodies of Mrs O. Turner, a Miss
Carter and the unconscious
form of T. J. Turner, q local real
estate man. The discovery was
made by J. D. Terrell. When
Mr.. Terrell entered the Turner
home Mrs. Turner was dead and
the girl in a dying condition.
She gasped her last before ply
.icians arrived. Turner was un-
conscious but revived for a
short tipNe.
"The girl has an incurable
disease. The old lady is stout
and l am all broken down. We
are tired of living"
This and no more would ne
tell of the cause of the suicide
pact. Physicians doubt his re-
covery.
/ But little is known of theTur
ner family, as they moved into
this section but a few months
ago. The Carter girl was living
with Turner and his wife, 1t is
said. having come here Win
them from Holly Springs 1t is
said the Turner's are natives OF
Massachusetts.
Apparently believing that
they would be dead when DIS
covered, each had carefully pre-,
pared for burial. Each mac
donned neat black garments
and after Turner had writer
the letter each had apparently
in turn, laid upon the floor ane
drunk a part Of the contents Of
