The friends and acquaintance
Of Esq. and Mrs. Monch Hagler
deeply sympathize with them in
the death on last Friday at their
home in the Seventeenth district
of their son, about fourteen years
of age. The youth had been ill
many months, his trouble being
termed leakage Of the heart. All
during his affliction the boy was
given every attention, his doting
parents spending large sums OF
money in an effort to effect a cure.
He is said to have been an I'M
usually bright boy. He was
obedient to his parents, manly,
polite and courteous to all. The
remains we're laid to rest Saturday
afternoon at Sandy Branch, where
i a large crowd gathered to pay his
memory last tribute of respect.
The Memphis annual conference
Of the Methodist church will con-
vene next week at Trenton, Sun
day being Brother Pickens' last
appointment for the conference
year. While we believe a majority
Of his congregation desire his re-
turn to this charge, it cannot be
said with any degree OF certainty
who will be the local pastor for
the next conference year. Mr..
Pickens is a very popular man in
Dresden with all denominations.
| He is broad and liberal minded IN
all things. Heis an able reasoner
and a student of no mean ability,
evidenced by his discourses. His
sermons have been elevating, help
| ful and instructive, and he has
shown himself a Bible student OF
ability. More than all this-he is
deeply pious man. We don't
think the Dresden Methodist churh
has ever had a more consecrated
pastor than Brother Pickens, nor
one more universally loved than he.
Should he not come back here for
the coming conference year this
people will unite as one in
praying Gods richest blessings up
! on him and his.

service, but which on her present trip was
on the way TO New York was
toipedoed and sunk by a German subma-
rine at els o'clocq Thursday morning

the White Star line, was attacked with

ing and are believed to have persisted
Most of those who have not been account
ed for belong to the crew. Only six Of the
passengers are reported missing
Whether any Of those not accounted
for are Americans has not yet been
determined, but there were only
twentysix citizens of the United
States on board, twenty-five being in
the second cabin and four in the steer
age. The Arabic carried no first-class
passengers having lately been turned
into two class liner.
The survivors who left the steamer
in the ships boats and were picked I'D
later by passing vessels arrived in
Queenstown tonight. They are being
accommodated by the White Star Line
in hotels and boarding houses in the
little town which so short time ago
cared FOR the survivors and the dead
of the Lusitania.
Details Of the sinking Of the Arabic
are lacking, but that the loss Of life
was not greater doubtless was due to
the fact that the weather was fine and
that steamers plying the German sub
marine zone now keep their boats
swung out and otherwise are prepared
for emergencies.
The torpedo that sank the Arabic
struck her on the starboard side one
hundred feet from her stern The YES
