On Wednesday afternoon, at the
Price Hotel, in this city, Mr.. Luther
r. Coleman, of Memphis, and Mrs.
Katie Joyce Lee were united in mar
riage, Rev. M. C. Wick officiating. The
groom of the occasion arrived in Va
zoo City Wednesday morning from
Memphis, and by pre-arrangement,
sent word to his prospective bride,
who at once came to the city from her
home in the country. After the cere-
mony the bridal couple left on the $40
train that afternoon for their future
home in Memphis.
The bride is one Of the well-known
and most highly esteemed ladies of
our county. She is daughter of the
late M. P. Joyce, and sister of Mrs.
X. Cox and of Mrs. J. C. Boxley. She
has resided in this county all of her
life, and her many excellent qualities
of head and heart have made her
friends by the legion.
We have not the pleasure of an ac-
quaintance with the groom, but learn
that he is prosperous business man
of Memphis, and that he formerly re-
sided in jackson, Miss, and that he
is a highly esteemed and honorable
gentleman, in every way worthy Of
his bride.
We also learn that there is a ro-
nance connected with the wedding
that it was the elimination of ar
earlier love, that each one had beer
the first love of the other. But theil
paths in life had diverged, each haC
married and been bereft, and now il
their maturcr years Mr.. Coleman haC
sought, and this time won, his frs
love.
God grant them a long life of hap
piness and prosperity together. TIL
best wishes of host of friends in thi
county attend them to their Memphi
home.

DEATH Of Miss Bessie Porey.

The sad news was received in this
city a few days since Of the death
of Miss Bessie Posey, which occurred
at the st. Agnes Sanitarium at Louis
vile, KY, last Friday, Nov. 18th. Miss
Posey was born and reared in Wood
vile, Miss, and was the last surviv
ing daughter Of that gallant Confed-
crate soldier, Gen. Stanhope Posey.
After the war the family removed to
Yazoo City, where she resided until
few months since, when she went
to st. Agnes sanitarium, conducted by
the Sisters of Nazareth, for medical
treatment.
Miss Posey was 81 years of age,
and had been in poor health all her
life. She was devoted member of the
Catholic Church, and was a consistent
follower of the lowly Nazarene. Most
of the time during the 81 years of her
life were spent in prayer for her fell
lowmen and when the end came she
fell asleep as peacefully as little
child.
Her remains were brought to Yazoo
City for interment, the funeral taking
place from st. Mary's Catholic Church
last Sunday morning.
She was an aunt Of Miss Olivia and
Janey Posey. To them and other rela
tives and friends we extend heartfelt
sympathy.

SHARP BREAK IN
THE COTTON MARKET
Advance of 1855 for March
Appeared to Attract
Realizing

New York, January 15.-After show
ing considerable firmness early today,
cotton broke rather sharply and closed
barely steady. net point lower to
4 points higher. The advance to 12,65c
for March and of about 5s to 65 points
from the recent low record on active
positions, appeared to attract a good
deal Of realizing and there was also
some local and southern selling as
prices eased off from the best.
Opening steady at an advance of
to points, after some little irreg-
ularity, the market worked higher on
covering, trade buying and moderate
support from local bulls. Steadier Liv-
erpool cables reports that a more ac-
tive demand for goods in Fail River
was accompanied by an increased in
quiry for spots from eastern mills, and
rumors of bullish private ginning re-
turns appeared to inspire more bull
confidence and there was a fairly ac-
tive demand during the morning. Ru-
more of bullish ginning figures were
confirmed however, and after show
ing a net advance of about 10 to l3
points on active months the market
turned easier under profit taking or
fresh selling for a turn with last
prices showing reactions of or 10
points from the best.
southern advices continued to indi-
cate a better export demand. There was
some southern selling on the advance
here which led to reports that hedging
was becoming rather more active at the
higher level, but the main pressure
against prices on the afternoon reac-
tion was attributed to realizing of re-
cent local buyers. The next report of
the census bureau on ginning will be
issued a week from tomorrow and car
ries operations up to the close of bust
ness today, Today's rumors of bullish
showing were not accompanied by any
definite figures and sellers on the aft
ernoon reaction claimed that oonspicu-
ously small returns might have been
discounted by the advance which has
occurred since the publication of last
weeks figures.

COMPOSER

Henry Clay Work and His Songs
Only those who lived during the civil
war can realize the power and influence
exercised by the song writer's of the time.
Henry Clay Work, who was born at Mid
dleton, Conn, in 1882. was imprisoned in
Missouri for helping fugitive slave to
escape. He was a printer by trade and
wrote Kingdom Coming" Babylon is
Fallen" and in his Come Home, Dear
Father, Come Home" was a temperance
sermon that never has seemed to lose
its plaintive appeal. He was the author
of "Grandfather's Clock" and at one
time a member of the music firm of Root
& Cady, Chicago He invented knitting
machine and rotary engine. which gave
him an Independent fortune in later life.
and he enjoyed the sunset of his busy
career In house at Hartford. Conn.,, not
far from his birthplace. His songs had
a great vogue in their time and still con-
tinue popular in the melodies of the old
days. ~

FRESH BUYING IN
THE WHEAT MARKET
Believed Japan Will Require
Most of Australian Crop.
Close Nervous

Chicago. January l5.-Although there
was some reaction in wheat today after
the rapid advance in the preceding ses-
sion, there was considerable fresh buying.
This was due largely to the belief that
most of the Australian crop would be re-
qtiired by Japan. Closed nervous, rang
ins from 1sc decline to 1sGriae advance,
compared with yesterday
Corn finished ss@isc off to sc up; oats
lower, lsQl4c, and provisions varying from
2lac loss to a gain of i2lac.
Notice of increased demand for Aus
tralia's eargoes formed one of the earliest
items that engrossed the attention of the
wheat trade.
Later the subject was again brought
forward by estimates that the Australian
surplus would be nearly 100000 bushels
less than the total one year before.
Il was not until the end of the day that
tie buyers here learned OF a more de-
cisive impetus to action, news from an
authoritative source that Japan was like
ly to purchase heavily in Australia be-
cause of disappointing yields at home.
Liberal export sales at st. Louis and
elsewhere helped wheat to rally late in
the session.
Reduced estimates of the Argentins
yield counted as an element of strength.
1t was a fact nevertheless that during
est of the day prices We're inclined to
slump, the sudden forcing out of shorts
yesterday having deprived the market of
an important share of support.
General loosening up of offerings from
the country brought about a return of
bear pressure on corn. unseasonably
milo weather that was expected to con-
tnuo several days added to the weakness.
A lack of adequate shipping call had Its
effect, too.
The bull turn in wheat aided a rally to-
ward the last. For the most part, oats
merely followed the course of other grain.
Tho Buenos Ayres' market was reported
to be excited and higher because of dis
appointing returns of .hreshers.A
Expected increases in the semi-monthly
settlement of warehouse stocks led to q
break in the provision list after a firm
start. The upward tendency at the out
set came from higher prices for hogs.

count in Evidence-Ad-
vance Partly Lost

New Orleans, January 15.-BuIlish senti-
ment was strong In the cotton market to-

case yesterday, recent buyers were eager

the market down to a moderate advance,

at only 10000 bales, better reports from

The opening was steady at a rise of

amounted to to II points, which was the
high of the day. SOME little pressure
from realizing longs was experienced in
the early trading and toward noon it be-

it weighed against prices rather heavily
at times. The close was steady at net
gain of to points.

VIGOROUS RISE IN
VARIOUS STOCKS
Speculation More Active and
Market BrOader-Steel
Leads the Way

New York, January 15.-stocl.s of all
classes rose vigorously today. Specu-
lation was more active and the market
broader.
Sentiment was decidedly bullish and
buying was conducted with a degree of
confidence which has not characterized
trading recently.
Speculation for the rise was fsciii-
tated by the Increased volume of out
side buying. Steady absorption of high
grade stocks which have no specula-
tive following gave an indication of the
quickened investment demand. This same
tendency was visible. in the bond MAJ
ket in which dealings expanded and
prices rose.
Today's movement was a continuation
day on receipt from Washington of un-
official outlines of the administration s
attitude toward antitrust legislation. The
probable outcome of exchange affecting
exchange and the Presidents forthcom-
ing message to Congress on the SUBJ
ject, figured largely in determining the
temper of speculative sentiment, ii be-
ing felt that a less drastic position would
be taken by the administrator than the
bears had predicted
Easy money rates, the scarcity of
stocks, the broadening investment de-
mand, and a more hopeful view of the
outlook for business were other inflp-
ences which contributed to the sessions
movement.
Steel led the market. Trading In this
stock was unusually active and it rose
nearly points. Erie and Can also fig
ured largely in the dealings.
Union Pacific and Reading were in
clined to lag behind the remainder of the
