BODY OF WHITE MAN IS FOUND IN RIVER
Victim Was Weighted Down by Iron Bar and Drowned
 Is Belief

Columbus. Miss, May 29.-tSpecial) Weighted down by & heavy iron bar held in place by tightly bound coils of wire. the body of an unidentified white man was found in McBee creek. near Ethel- vile, Ala. a small station about F miles east of Columbus, on the Mont gomery division of the Mobile and Ohio railroad this morning.
 The body was discovered by Tom Payne, negro fisherman. who saw the cadaver in the water and lifted 1t to the surface. The corpse was in such an advanced state of decomposition that 1t was at first impossible to tell whether 1t was that of a white man or a negro, but a coroner B jury was impaneled and decided that It was that of a member of the Caucasian race.
 The body had evidently been in the water for several weeks, but the cloth ing, while badly stained, was of good texture, and indicated that the wearer was in good financial circumstances.
 No one has been reported missing any where in this section, and authorities are completely at loss as to the identity of the corpse.

ITALIAN ARMY IS
 CROSSING ISONZO

Udine, May 29-(Via Paris, 0:30 D m. .)--A strong Italian army is crossing the Isonzo river. When that has been accomplished it Is expected the hard struggle will begin.
 On the right bank of the river Aus tria lacked a solid fortified base, while on the opposite side, near Gorizra, there is a series of mountains. the highest of which is Nontesanto with an altitude of more than 2200 feet, Joining to the southeast the Corso chain. A high rocky plateau dominates Trieste by land. On the, Corso the Austrians have the en- trenohed camps of Sessana and Divac3 which command the whole sea coast on both sides of Trieste. Thus the Austrian troops are in a position to make diffi- cult landing by sea or an advance from tho frontier.

In forest, air, and changing ground; But ne'er that dust can cease to be, 'Tis Gods unchangeable decree.
 II. The soul shall never cease to be. And God has written this decree For surely things of lesser worth As dust and vapor. clods of earth, Can meter infinity possess. While sinks the soul to nothingne $! Compare the worth of fairest flower With human soul-a vital power! It thinks, and loves. has hope that burns 1t dreams of heaven and for it Seains. While here on earth enclasped in clay, It treads the far-off Milky Way: Der cancellations upward climbs Till on it's ears there fall like chimes Of distant bells. whose golden toaes Set vibrant circumambient zones, Soft spheric rhythmic bars. And harmony of chanting stars: But upward still, from high to higher. It passes countless worlds of fire With swifter sweep than comets iigat, Or silver arrow tipped with light, When, springing from Aurora's bow It heral6s dawns approaching glow And passing zone for vaster zone. Ascends until before the Throne Of God it bows. with quest complete, Adores, enraptured, at His feet.
 
 In thought to stand where angels tread, From mans immortal nature springs, And kinship with the King of kinks. These lofty instincts from above. With fair presumptive logic prove That after death the soul somewhere Shall find the life it longs for h re In creatures less than human kind, We see how instincts fruitage find; For, instinct with the fact agrees Shall men be classed as less than these? The bird that nests mid northern snow, Has dreams of gentle tides that flew Through summer lands to summs- seas. Mid tropic blooms and warmth of breeze So. spreads her wings and southward flies And finds her dreams meath summe
 skies.
 Thus lofty things that mortals crave, Are hints of life beyond the gr4vc; And yearning hope that life to tive Is pledge of God that life to give. If cosmic atoms last for aye, The soul transcendant cannot die Let Unbelief the logic scan, Apply the thought to soul of man It is and hence must ever be- Tis Gods unchangeable decree.
