EAST SIDERS MAY
 BE GUILTY PARTIES
Gang Men of Gotham May Have Put
 "DecOy. Out of the Way.

New York, Aug. 12.-Thirty-siX
 hours have elapsed with hardly any
 progress made toward the identifica
 tion of a young woman who was found murdered on Sunday night in a bit
 of swamp land in upper Manhattan. The police are also quite as helpless
 in their search for clues to the mur
 derers, but they entertain the theory that the woman may have been killed
 as part of a gang plot. It is recalled that large party of East Siders
 held a picnic in grove near the
 scene of the murder on Sunday after noon. It is also suggested that the
 case of William Lustig, who was shot
 in the East Side cafe by gangsters last week and who had been decoyed to the place by woman. has a bear ing on the murder Since the shoot ing the police have been anxious to learn the identity of the girl decoy in the Lustig case. and it is said that lHe SdnSSJerS ledTeu tlldt II SHe were
 caught she might reveal the names of those connected with the Lustig plot.
 The gang problem in the East Side
 has assumed such proportions that a

in price does not represent an enhance
ment in value, as is the case with the
spinner, who manipulates the raw ma
terial into the finished product. No
matter what toll the middleman takes,

Doing away with future gambling
would disorganize the present methods
of doing business, and be embarrassing
to good many people who are now
making a living by doing unnecessary
and wasteful work; but arguing for a
continuance of this waste is no more
logical and quite as sophisticated as
the argument of the proprietor of
gambling house, who tells Of how many
he employs, as 1eelers, porters, steer
ers and what not who earn good wages
for their work" and who keep it
liquid and in circulation by spending
itEas fast as they make tt. The gam
bier is the more logical, because he
specializes and locaizes, and when he
says that closing gambling will hurt
the town." he is right. In its larger
relations the gambling question must
be viewed differently. National legis-
lation cannot contine itself to the few
or concern itself with their interests.

dissatisfied, you can make as fine crops
in Mississippi as any one can in South
Dakota or any other state. You can
overcome some of the drawbacks you
have here. One of your drawbacks is
you depend on the negro to Go the
work: therefore, you can't make some
thing out of nothing. The white race
knows the average negro is lazy and
won't work uuless he has white man

range for cattle here, and it doesn t
cost very much to winter them for the
winters are short and mild. The rea-
son the West is ahead of the South is
because they work to improve their
stock and farms. The farmer out West
always has something to sell when he
goes to town. The farmer in the South

does, it is so little there is no market

Mr.. E. L. Hines, to the regret of his
many friends and constituents, having
resigned his office as supervisor OF Dis

man of good business ability and expe-

Kate and Cora.
Your TREND,
DIR. w. T. RYLE.

Our town has never had such shock
as it had Saturday night, July IL. 1913,
when the sad news came that one OF
our young girls had lost her life in
Sunfiower river, near Drew, Miss; al
so, that one of our former girls mao
lost her life in the same manner and
place Kate Stokely, or as she was
known in her home town as Kate Stig.,
ler, married about six years ago and
moved to Drew. Her sister, Cora Stig-
ler, was on visit with other, members
of the family. 1t was while out on a
family outing that the sad end came,
taking both at once. Gods ways, are
not ours we will have to wait sand see
why this should be.
Kate was one of the brightest, sweet
est and happiest Christians ever
knew, for she had given her heart to
her Savoir when in her teens. :"
Cora had always shown a Chrlst-like
spirit, but it was just two years ago
that she made a public confession OF
her Lord and put Him on in baptism.
Never will forget how beautiful she
looked as she went down into the wa
ter! She has lived up to her faith
for it shone in her face.
It is hard to give up loved ones, but
we must remember that God is our
Father-that He is only fitting US for
that Heavenly home where these two
dear ones have gone to await our COM
ing. What a glorious time that Will
be when we meet to part no more
How happy a Sunday school teacher is
to know that her scholars are waiting
and watching for her on that other
shore! | heard the president of the
board of school trustees say that he
would never forget how bright and
happy Cora looked when he handed
her her diploma the day she graduated.
Dear father, mother. brothers and
sisters. we must not grieve for these
that have left us for a short while.
Life is not long at best, but If God
sees fit to take one so young as our
Cora, who had just passed her eight
eenth birthday, we must know that de
has some lesson for US in it: one that
we will be drawn nearer to Him; an
other that we will be closer to each
other and love one another better; an
other that we will do more to advance
! His kingdom here on earth and so nasi
ten His second coming, and those that
are asleep shall awake in His likeness,
and, we with them, shall see Him in
all His glory. "Tis so sweet to trust
in Jesus, just to take Him at His
word, =" for has He not said Every
thing works together for the good OF
them that love the Lord y How hap
py these two are waiting and watching
together for us to come and share in
their heavenly happiness!
"How sweet to know that One above
Is watching Ger our sorrows here;
Where angels with touch of love
Can wipe away each bitter tear.
Yet again we hope to meet thee
When the cares of life have fled;
Then in Heaven with joy to greet thee
Where no farewell tear is shed"
Kate leaves her husband and baby boy
with her parents, five sisters, three
brothers and a host of kindred anc
friends. Loved ones left behind, we
can say with the sweet singer of lsreal,
they can not come to US but we can &C
to them. COUSIN LENA.
