The Call of Autumn
BY Ella NJ. Saunders.

The voices Of Autumn are calling.
The leaves are turning brown.
AS softly and silently they fall to the
ground.
The squirrels their wintry hoard Of

And the birds their Autumn fight

The grass no more Is green.
For Autumn has covered It with her
wintry sheen,
And in the mornings signs Of Jack

As thru the night he quietly works

His cold frosty breath, the grass and
the flowers has touched;
No longer the bUtterhys and bees

And bid them not awake. till thl

fingers
Nearby stood a woman. She was
looking for someone. Suddenly the
much bandaged soldier saw the wO-

bandages, he touched the woman.
She uttered a cry and searched Gag

TORREON FALLS;
With APPALLING
LIFE SLAUGHTER
FEDS ASK TERMS OF PEACE
Want Lives of Officers And
Men Spared

Eagle Pass, Tex, April l. - Des-
patches from the American consul al
Durango forwarded to Washington
via this city are reported today To
announce that the federal commander
at Torreon has offered to surrender
to General Villa, that a truce has
been granted and that the federal and
constitutionalist commanders have
met and are today arranging the
terms of capitulation.
General Velasco, according to this
report, first called for three hour
armistice and offered to surrender the
town if the garrison could march out
with the honors of war, and if Villa
would parole the officers and guarantee
not to kill the volunteers as he has
threatened.
William P Blocker, American con-
sui at Piedras Negras, refused to re-
veal the contents of the dispatch from
Durango, but admitted that a message
had been received and forwarded to
Secretary Bryan.
According to information from au-
thentic sources, General Villa had
taken the railroad station in TorreoD,
and for the past two days has been
working his way from house to house
toward the center of the cit.. He is
said to have taken nearly half the
town, with an appalling loss of life on
both sides.
Last night, it is said General We
dasco sent out a white flag and asked
for three hours truce to present a
proposition for surrender. The true :
was granted and the federal command
er offered to turn over the city with
all military stores if the lives of ali
officers and men were guaranteed.
1t is understood that Villa at first
demurred at this, saying hat manv
of the garrison, including General
Orozco, who is said to be in Torreon.
were traitors and must be executed,
It is said that another armistice was
arranged for today, however, and
that Villa would probably accept the
offer of the federal commander.
1t is known that federal column
of reinforcements left Saltillo foS
1orreon March 80, but as all railroad
lines are cut, it will require several
days for the relieving force to arrive
at Torreon.

RESTFUL SLEEP
COMES TO MISS
MATTE RYLANDER
A LONG ILLNESS
Funeral From The Residence
This Morning

The passing away yesterday morning
of Miss Matte Rylander brought keen
est sorrow to the entire people of
Americus, for it may be said in ali
truth that no young girl here WAS
ever more beloved and esteemed. HeG
long continued illness, extending over
a period Of nearly three years, had pre-
cluded any hope of recovery, yet
through it all she maintained Split
of cheerfulness that was an inspiration
to those who loved her best.
The end came at the silent hour o.
midnight, and with the change of the
day and the month her sweet spirit
changed to one of beautiful immortal
ity, the fair and tired one dropping in
to sweet and peaceful slumber that
knows no waking here.
Miss Rylander was born and rearel
in Americus, and was the eldest daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur Rylander
Attractive in form and feature, q
bright, winsome and charming girl al
ways, none knew her but to love her,
and in all Americus there was none
who claimed wider circle of friends.
None other in Americus could be more
greatly missed or mourned.
From pretty childhood she grew up
here, and after graduating from the
city schools, she spent three years as
a pupil at Agnes Scott. There she
took high stand in her class, AMI
only i'll health developing at the time
prevented her graduation from this
most excellent institution of learning
Her illness, slight in its inception,
increased by degrees, and while every
possible means to restore her to health
were resorted to by idolizing parents
she gradually became weaker until,
like flower in it's fragrance, she fell
before the remorseIess scythe of the
reaper. Hsr life was an inspiration %
all who came within her presence; her
death beautiful benediction, indeed.
Miss Rylander was for many years
member of First Baptist church. Ths
funeral services will be held from the
family residence at 10 o'clock this
morning, conducted by Rev. Robert L.
Bivins. The following named friends
will act as paIlbearers: Messrs. J. ,.
Hooks, Glen Hooks, Walter Brown,
John Mathis, Walter Page, James A
Pinkston Jr Friends are respectful:
Invited to attend.
The distressed father, Mr.. Arthur
Rylander, is a member of the board Of
county commissioners, and as marx
o. respect to him, work in all depart
ments of Sumter county will be sus-
pended for five minutes, at the begin
ming of the funeral services-l0
