the situation In Northern Mexico.
There were no developments here to-.

aspects OF the Mexican situation. Cen
erai Funston forwarded delayed mes

Tho State Department had reports OF
continued quiet III various parts OF
Mexico. and also messages indicating
that the presence OF tho American
troops beyond the border might inf1u
ence the price Of Carranza currency
adversely. Ohicials thought II possible
this was one OF the reasons that i'm
rcited carianza TO urge withdrawal OF
the American forces. 1t was pointed
out that while tho soldiers remained in
Mexico ii was improbable that any loa n
could be negotiated by the de facto
government. and that their presence
also cast enough doubt on the immedi-
ate future there to depress exchange
rates. Last quointions fixed the price
or Carranza money at 1is cents on the
. dollar.

In Memory of w. C. Garrett
1uka miss. Newspaper.

1uka (Miss.) Newspaper.
On Wednesday, August 8, just after
noon, the sad news flashed over the
country that w. c.. Garrett was drowned
in Tennessee river, near Eastport land
ing, where he lived This news came
as a great shock to his family, relatives
and many friends.
Mr. Garrett came toTishomingo county
about two and half years ago from
Norris S. c., and had been engaged in
farming on the river.
At the time of the sad accident which
caused his death he was out in the river
in boat gathering mussels, when by
some chance, we know not how, the
boat turned over and he began swim
ming for the shore and crying for help,
but when within short distance of the
shore and before help could reach him
he sank to rise no more.
While Mr.. Garrett had only been in
our midst short while he had made
many friends, as everyone who chanced
to know him loved him. He was a
christian, good citizen, good neigh
Dor, and was always ready and willing
to help in good cause.
His body was brought to Iuka
and was sent to Norris, S. c., fol
burial. Mr.. Garrett leaves wife and
two children, father and mother, broth.
| ers and sisters and q host of friends tc
mourn their loss.
May the Infinite Father of us all hea
| the broken hearts of the bereaved.
