Sula Mitchell, from which union
eight children were born, six OF
whom survive. In his declining
health, he was tenderly solicitious
for those who were dependent
upon him and his only regret in
meeting his untimely end was
leaving his devoted wife and
little children. Years ago he
became a member of the Chris
tian church and was active in
the discharge of his duties as a
member and as a christian. In
his association with his fellows
he was the soul of honor and his
life was exemplifcation of the
highest integrity and noble i'm
pulses.
The funeral was conducted
from the residence Saturday
morning by Revs. w. H. Owen
of Henderson. Tenn, and M. H.
Armour, of Baldwin. They
spoke words of tender sympathy
and consolation to the bereaved
family. The remains were /; id
to rest in Glenwood cemetery;
many beautiful floral offerings
were sent by friends. The fol-
lowing friends acted as pail
bearers: John Silas Thompson,
Ike Thompson, w. X. Wilson,

country schools and the schools
of Guntown. When his father
was elected sheriff he entered
the sheriff's offices as office
deputy, where he displayed an
aptness for clerical work unns-
ual for one so young. In the.
discharge of his official duties he
was accurate and had a compre
hensive grasp of the responsible
duties devolved upon him. His
work bore the scrutiny of the
auditing department Of the state
and was always found correct.

CAN'T Count on CalamltY

Nowhere so completely, so brazenly,
as In this state have the whole for
tunes OF a party been staked upon
this single card; nowhere have Re
publican leaders gambled so reckless

But now there is every sign that
one of the elements on which the Re
publican leaders in this state relied Is
rapidly disappearing. SO far as man
can now foresee, we shall not have
hard times TO make Republican votes

plain promise that by that time a

Boy

Here are some of the things a boy can
do:
He can whistle so loud that the air
turns blue,
Make all the sounds of beast and OF
bird
And thousand noises no one ever
heard;
He can crow and cackle and also
cluck.
Just like rooster. hen or n duck:
He can bark like dog. low like n
COW,
And a cat itself can't beat his
meow"
He can roar and pun like a railway
train,
Whistle down brakes, then be of again
And with the vocal powers at his COM
mand
He can make of himself a full brass
band,
And with all the instruments ever
played,
He is the whole show and a street pa
rade.
It's pretty sure sign that boy is i'll
If he's wide awake and is perfectly
still.
But earth would be minus half OF it's
joys
And a dreary spot were there no BOYS.

Largest Animal ON Enrth

Sparks world famous shows are
billed to exhibit at Grafton, Thursday.
April 20, and from the newspaper re-
port preceding them their exhibition
will be worth going many miles to wit
ness.
Among the many features the show
carries is what is claimed to be the
largest land animal on earth. It is
an elephant said TO be three inches
taller than Jumbo and half ton heav-
ier.
Some idea Of her immense size can
be obtained when you consider that
she is II feet, inches tall and weighs
over o tons. I'm other words She
weighs as much as 10 ordinary horses
Another extraordinary feature with
the show is Capt. Tiebor's troupe of
educated seals and sea lions. These
interesting sea animals perform the
most seemingly impossible feats; bal
ancing chairs, umbrellas and whirling
brands Of fire while climbing ladders
walking tight ropes and riding the
backs Of galloping horses This feat
ure banles description and must be
seen to be appreciated
Many other wonderful things are TO
be seen with this mammoth show and
the main performance beneath the
big tents will present a number OF the
most marvellous foreign acts Of the
century
The mcnagerie OF wild animals car
ried with the show is complete in ev-
cry detail and contains rare and cur
ious specimens Of the earth's most in
teresting and curious animals.
A mile long street parade OF dazzling
splendor, beautiful women and hand
some horses, 'interspersed with three
brass bands and a steam caliope will
traverse the streets shortly before
noon, and this feature alone will be
worth going many miles to see.
Don't forget the date and the place
