and this procedure, of course, causes a demand from our side of the line for reprisal. If the Mexican Government was dis posed to mix up with Uncle Sam the problem would be of easy SO lution, for in that case, we would just march into Mexico and "lick" the whole shebang and be over with it; but being a powerful nation, rich in re- sources, men and capital, our Government is willing to bear a great deal before going to war with that poor, benighted Re. public south of us. We hope that the Mexican Government will be able to control and curb its bandits, but if it does not do so soon, it is plain that armed in tervention by the Americans will naturally come around.

HarveStS Alfalfa.

Judge Tuner Butler cut his alfalfa Monday and he estimates that he will have ten tons from six acres. This is exceptionally fine for the first cutting. Judge Butler sowed his seed on the 2nd day of last September, prior to which time he had used consid- erable lime on the land. But the soil on which he is producing this splendid crop is no better than the average hill land in the county. It just goes to show what can be done if we know how. It has remained for Judge Butler to show us. He expects to get at least four cuttings this year. If he averages 10 tons per cutting, he will have 40 tons, and figured at $20 per ton, you can readily see that it beats cot ton.
 It is needless to say that there will be a lot of alfalfa sown in Ashley county this coming fall.- Hamburg Budget.

 The Grafton was delivered by Mayor, Robt. C. Knox, and a most appropriate and eloquent address was made. Selected readings by Miss Orlean Maloney and Mrs. Lucien Matthews were feeling and impressive events of the occasion. Good singing. all so, was a part of the program. After the services at the Court House Yard, procession was formed and marched to Oakland Cemetery, where the graves of all the Old Soldiers were be- decked with flowers.

An Aged Woman Dead.

Mrs. c. H. Von Mengerhausen, of West Jackson Avenue, died after few days illness, on last Monday morning, at the ripe old age of 91 years.
 Mrs. Mengershausen was the widow of the late c. H. Von Mengershausen en, who migrated to this country, from Germany about the close of the civil war. Mrs. Mengershausen was, also, a native of Germany, but was all earlier arrival, in America, than the husband whom she subse- quently married, after he came here, which event took place in Pine Bluff in the late seventies. Immediately after their mar riage they moved to Monticello, where they lived until the death of Won Mengershausen, several years ago, and where the widow has lived ever since.
 Mrs. Mengershausen was a most remarkable woman, re- taining an active mind and wonderful physical ability up to near the time of her death.
 She was a highly educated and polished woman, and was pro- ficient in several languages, notably, English, German and French, besides being a polished musician. Her earlier days were spent in teaching, in Tennessee and this State. She was a good woman and numbered as her friends our entire people, and many of her old pupils, now old men and women, will deeply de- plore her loss. She is survived by step-daughter, Mrs. T. H. Matthews, with whom she lived and a grand step-daughter, Miss Fay Matthews, both of whom have our deep sympathy in the loss of this noble old woman. The remains were inferred in Oakland Cemetery, on last Tues day morning, at 9 O'clock. The Funeral services were conduct ed by Rev. N. B. Corrigan.
