Cun. Believed UnlOaded, is Dis charged and Woman is Fatally Wounded, at Home Near De- light, Arkansas.

Delight, Dec. 26.-Mrs. Sally Tay- Tor, aged about 35 years, wife of Eas Tavlor, living about two miles north of here, was accidentally shot and killed by target rifle in the hands of her 14-year-old son, Homer, yester- day afternoon. The ball lodged in Mrs. Taylor's neck at the base of the skull and death followed within short time.
 The lad had just returned from hunting, and was preparing to return the gun, which was borrowed. He picked up the weapon, which he thought unloaded, by the trigger, thinking he was holding the trigger guard The boy is nearly prostrated with grief.
 Funeral services for Mrs. Taylor were held this afternoon with the Rev. Mr. Sharp of the Nazarene church of ficiating, and interment was made in the Delight cemetery. She leaves five children, of whom Homer is the oldest.

BUILDING AND LOAN
 ASSOCIATIONS
Would Teach the Young Men and Women to Make Small Monthly Deposits, Thereby Encouraging Thrift.

Little Rock, Dec. 28.-Soon after the first of the year, the State Bank Commission, through its Blue Sky Department, of which w. T. Maxwell is the head, will undertake an active campaign for popularizing the build ing and loan association as a thrift proposition in the smaller towns of the state.
 "When we teach thrift" said Mr. Maxwell, i've should provide a means for it's exercise. "The young men and women on salary, and men in busi- ness, if given the means of saving by small monthly deposits, would soon accumulate competence. But the majority have no institutions, aside from the banks, that encourage small savings. There are only forty-two building and loan associations in the state, and half of them are in Little Rock. Nashville is the only one of the smaller towns of the state that has an association, and it is doing a great deal of good. Every town of 800 population and over should support a building and loan association"
 From reports just completed for thirty-eight of the associations, four not having reported, it appears that the aggregate assets are $10,174,- 007 64 There is .invastp,ept stock sold and outstanding amounting to $25,417,12S.59, upon which payments have been collected amounting to $S,- 252, 2,453.32. The assets of the asso- citations are invested as follows: In real estate mortgages, $S,425, 5,S52.94 in stock loans $574,6S1.12, in real es- tate $337,000 and the balance in smaller items.

COTTON ADVANCES
 47 TO 57 POINTS
The. New York Market Shows Greatly Increased Activity and Strength Over Yester- days Close.

New York, Dec. 27.-The cotton market showed increased activity and strength today, particularly in the late trading, when May contracts sold up to 17.89c, or 51 points above last nights close, and $7.20 per bale above the low level of last week. That de- livery closed at 17.S8c, with the gen. eral list closing firm, at net advance of 47 to 57 points.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of 2 to 16 points, in response to higher Liverpool cables. There was considerable selling here by houses with Liverpool connections at the start, which caused some irregularity, but it was believed that this was against purchases of spots in the South. Talk of better tone in the cotton goods market was accompanied by bullish predictions of an increased spot demand from domestic spinners, after the first of the year Trade buy ing and covering by Western and Wall street shorts then became more effec- tive with the market developing great CT firmness during the afternoon. The less favorable view of Mexican af- fairs may possibly have stimulated the demand, while sentiment was also influenced by rumors that foreign in- terests were accumulating and hold ing large supplies of spot cotton in the South for shipment after the end of the war, or as facilities became available. The close was within point or two of the best. A few addi- tional January notices were issued, but quickly taken.
 Cotton closed firm.

 "Three of the largest railway sys- tems operating in the state, together with large number of the lesser ones are in hands of receivers. There is also a falling off in the net earnings of the street railways, as claimed by the owners, by reason of automobile competition. For this reason we made some reductions in the assess ment of some of the railroads and in one street railway"
