Of bruised hearts and broken link
in golden chain of loving compan-

On the 3oth OF March she contracted
measles, continually growing worse.

could do proved unavailing in the bat

Friday night the angels came down
and kissed her pain away.
Sunday afternoon at o'clock she
was laid to rest in Victoria Cemetery

head rested u cross of Easter lilies.

| Gone IN the best OF her days.
Blighted In childhood's bloom,
Torn from the hearts that loved her
To sleep in the silent tomb;

Its fragrance ne'er can die;
Her life was brief, yet still complete.

OYERION GUILTY
 KILLING JUDGE.
 JURY'S VERDICT
Former Circuit Clerk of Alabama County is Sent
 enced to Hang Jan. 12.

Huntsville, Ala, Nov. 28.-David D. Overton, former circuit clerk of Madi- son county, was found guilty ot murder in the first degree by a jury here today. The court set January 12 as the date for Overton's execution by hanging.
 Overton was tried for the murder of w. T. Lawler, former county judge, Overton's political opponent. The defendant pleaded self defense.
 Counsel for the defense announced they would ask new trial, and will appeal if this is refused.
 Overton disappeared in June, few days before Judge Lawler's body was found in creek. Some time later Sheriff Robert Phillip and Attorney Shelby Pleasant committed suicide leaving notes in which they stated they preferred death to being sus- pected of the Lawler murder.
 Overton was arrested recently in Smithville, Tenn, after search that was prosecuted thru several states. He claims he and Judge Lawler drove to the Whitesburg bridge to discuss political differences, and that Lawler attacked him with knife. He killed Lawler, he said, after he had been cut several times. Overton testified that Sheriff Phillip was notified ,and hinted that the sheriff had disposed of the body.

Armies of Central Powers Capture Additional Posi-
 tiOns in Rumania.
RUMANIANS RETIRE
 TO DEFENSE LINE
Divergent Reports from War Offices on the Operations in Macedonia, Serbs Claiming Advances. Ber-
 lin Announcing Gains.
Associated Press Summary)

y
 The operation of the TeutOnic allies in Rumania have brought them ap- preciably nearer Bucharest, and they are still progressing from north and west, the south and the southwest.
 The northern bank Of the Danube in Rumania, extending westward from Giurgia, on the railroad south of Bucharest, to opposite Vidin, a short distance from the Serbian border, is now in the hands of the central powers.
 The capture of positions opposite Vidin, Lom Palanka and Rahovo by the Bulgarians would seem seriously to menace the Rumanian troops from the Orsovo and Turnu Severin sectors, who were reported several days ago to be in retreat toward the south east.
 The capture of Giurgia brings the line of Field Marshal von Macken- sen to within 37 miles of Bucharest on the south, while the occupation of Kurtea de Arejesh, 80 miles northwest of capital evidently has cleared the Topolog sector of the Rumanans and given the invaders the railroad to the
  ton of the line from Campolung to Bucharest.
 TeutOns Continue Progress in Center.
 Tn the center, the Teutonic allies arc still driving eastward, having left the Alt valley far in their rear An unofficial dispatch says the retire ment of the Rumanians is proceeding in perfect order toward new front already prepared for defense against the invaders.
 The operations in Macedonia are somewhat beclouded because of diver gent reports. Berlin says that south of Monastir, renewed assaults by the entente powers troops have failed, while the Serbian war office declares that in fighting along the entire front the Serbs at several points made an advance of several hundred metres.
 Sofia, on the other hand asserts that 1,05O prisoners were taken and the village of Paralovo captured by the Bulgarians and Germans, as likewise was the British offensive in the Var dar region, south of the village of Bogoroditsa.
 On the front in France, and in the Austro- Italian theatre, nothing but bombardments have taken place.
 South of Dvinsk, on the Russian front, artillery duels have been in progress.
 Russians Begin New Attack.
 In the Carpathians, the Russians have begun another attack against the Austro- Germans and fighting is now proceeding there.
 Petrograd admits that the Turks have occupied the town of Adramed and the town of Koshishogly, south of Van, in Turkish Armenia.
 Two British, two French. two Greek and two Norwegian vessels have been sunk, either by mines or tor pedoes. The tonnage totals about 20,- 900. In addition, the Germans have captured the Danish steamer Villa noes.
 Two more Zeppelins, which were raiding the northern coast of Eng land, have been brought down in flames by anti-aircraft guns. The crews of both perished.
 A German aeroplane has dropped bombs on London. Nine persons were injured, and the material damage was slight,

ARMENIANS ARE
 SORfLY IN NEED
 OF PROMPT AID
Hunted Like Wild Animals, Refuges Suffer from
 Cold and Hunger.

New York, Nov. 2S.~larrowing eX- periences which Armenian refugees from Turkey are passing through in their fight to the Russian Caucasus, were rescribed in cable messages re- ceived from the American consulate at Tifflis and made public here to- night by the American commission for Armenian and Syrian relief.
 The commission says that the de- mand for mere necessities of life has reached $100,000 per month. A mes sage signed by three missionaries said: ~t
 After a year of hiding in caves, hunted like wild animals, thousands of war refugees are coming from Turkey. They are being fed by the Russian government, but are destitute of bedding and clothing. There is great suffering from the severe cl,- mate After personal investigation, we urge $1 100000 for bedding for the 15,0O0 new refugees.
 "ThOusands of women with chill dren, who were in distress and home less, now are employed in Erivan, in industrial work. As many more have been turned away in despair. We are opening a new center in AleXandropol and urge an appropriation of $2OO,00O to employ 1000 for six months at $1 a week.
 Moral as well as physical results already are very apparent"

S62.l4 NEEDED TO
 MAKE UP AMOUNT FOR HONOR DEBT

Capt. s. Geisreiter contributed $5 to The Graphic's fund to help extingu- ish the $3OO,OOO debt of honor of the Democratic party. And that was the only contribution received.
 The gentleman who suggested that the fund be kept open until Thanks giving, with the idea that leaven of gratitude would impel beneficiaries of the policy of President Wilson to help wipe out the debt incurred in re-elect- ing him appears to have been mis- taken. The "hunch" is not working out just as was expected. However, there's two more days. Maybe when folk turn their thoughts to all the things they have to be thankful for, they'll realize what they owe to the Democratic party, and, realizing, will be moved to contribute a portion of their large earnings or profits to- ward their party's debt of honor.
 Just two more days. The fund is now $137.86. Can't we make it $200 by tomorrow night. We're ashamed to send less from this prosperous com munity; prosperous because of MT. Wilson's acts.

National Housewives League Appeals to President Wilson for Congress SionaI Action to Regulate
 Food Supply.

Washington, Nov. 2S.-"If the high cost of living bothers you don't wait for governmental remedies, but buy more laying hens and eat more corn products and rice," says Speaker Clark. Not that he does not think the government can help bring down the price of foodstuffs by legislative or other action, but he pins more faith to more direct methods.
 "There may or may not be chance for MT. Fitzgerald's proposed bill," he said. "lt might do some good. I don't know. think the government can help lower food prices by legis-
 ative or other action, but I do know there are ways the people can put down expenses. For instance, every one who can should keep hens, and any man who has 20 feet of yard can do so. People should eat more corn products, too. Mush is highly nutri- tious, and it is cheap enough. Rice is too generally overlooked in this coun- try. 1 was surprised to hear that pound of rice will serve as substitute for bread for one day for an entire family of six persons.
 The speaker declared that he would urge the passage this year of fed eral law prohibiting the killing of |veal calves. Such measure failed at the last session.

No Word From Chihauhua City.

JuareZ, Mex, Nov. 28.-Another cay of suspense passed without anything definite being announced as to the fate of the Carranza garrison at Chihua- hua City. It now has been six days since the first skirmish started and three days since the telegraph line was cut. Since early today reports have been in circulation to the effect that General Trevino has been forced to abandon the state capital because his supply of ammunition was ex- hausted. One report stated that Gen eral Trevino had gone south toward Topolobampo, where he made his last stand yesterday before retiring furth- CT south. Other reports said that bis force had become divided, i part go- ing south to meet General Murguia' s advancing column, and the remainder moving north to Saux.
 High Carranza officials, as well as officers of General Gonzales staff, ad- mitted that these reports might be true, and said that General TIevino may have been forced to withdraw until General Murguia arrived with fresh troops and supplies.
 General Gonzales, who left here to- day with force of men, machine guns and carload of ammunition, i5 cx- pected to return tomorrow. He left to make scouting trip, and, if pos sible, to reach Saux and organize a force to send to the relief of Gen. eral Trevino.
