and full of his usual good nature
and humor. Shortly after his re-
firing Mrs. Franklin noticed him
breathing heavily and he died be-
fore help could be called-heart

daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Porter

years ago when they moved to
Mexico. The wife survives him

pail bearers: Z. F. Elliott, Ben

There are more ducks in China
than in all the world outside it,.
They are kept on every farm, on
the private roads, and on all the
lakes, rivers and small streams.
There are many boats in which as
many as 1000 are kept. Their
eggs form one of the chief articles
of food. They are Matched in
houses fitted up for the purpose.
Some of these houses turn out as
many as so, 900 young ducks every
year. Sailed and smoked ducks
are sold in all the towns, and many
of them are exported to countries
where Cinnamon reside.

of excellence, to which pupils of

LETTER SOLVES ONE
 MURDER MYSTERY"
JOHN HUGO, FARMER, WHO DIS APPEARED FROM LITTLE
 Rock,WENT TO OLD HOME.
Was Taken Sick There and Did Not Write Anybody and Only Recently Heard Receiver Had Been Named for Him.

A murder mystery" has been soly- ed. John Hugg, a prosperous bachelor farmer of this county. who, when last seen was at a Little Rock depot, and had money in his pocket, and was SUD- posed to be- coming back to his home here, but who did not come, has been found.
 Away up in Elizabeth, New Jersey, where sister resides Hugg has been in bed ill since his mysterious disap- pearance About four months ago he went to Little Rock on business He had intended buying a team of mules. He transacted his business in Little Rock and started home, but all trace of him was lost at a passenger sta tion
 It was believed he had been lured from the station for his money, and he had been killed by confidence men. Attorney Charles c. Sparks of this receiver named to take care of a store owned by Hugg, and to look after his farm, which was without attention. Everything had been abandoned.
 Yesterday MT Sparks heard from Bugg in a letter, which explained that when he went to the depot in Little Rock to return to his farm, he did not feel well, and decided suddenly to take a trip to Elizabeth, N. j., where his sister resided. Of course, he intended to write and have his property taken care of, but he was taken desperately sick and, therefore, this had been neglected The letter requested Mir Sparks to continue to look after his property until sudh time as he could return.
