1t was with sadness that the people
of Soso and surrounding community
learned of the death on the 4th. day
of March of Miss Ada Coats Miss
Ada was born and reared about four
miles from Soso, and a few years ago
her parents moved to our little town,
where she was employed as clerk in
the store ofMr. w. f. Barrett, where
she worked continuously until three
months ago when she developed a
case OF Tuberculosis, which resulted
in her death March 4th. Miss Ada,
as she was generally known, was a
young woman in the prime OF life.
when the dreaded disease laid hands
upon her, and snatched her from th @
association OF her friends and life
of usefulness. She was concetrated
member of the Baptist church of
$3.50. A mother, and two brothers
and host OF relatives and friends
survive to mourn her antimely death.
May her loved ones be comforted by
the assurance that to the christian
Sudden death is sudden glory and
cheered by the hopes OF a happy
meeting in the bright beyond.

FOUR BANDITS GET $17,ooo
 IN NEWCASTLE, PA.
One of the Hold Up Men Found Dead
 in a Clump of Bushes.

Newcastle, Pa, Nov. 15.-Posses of deputy sheriffs and state constabu- lary searching for the four bandits who today held up A. D. Farrell. su- perintendent of the G. w. Johnson Limestone Company and robbed him of $17,000 after wounding him and kill ing an employe, late today found one of the alleged holdup men dead in a clump of bushes near the. scene of the holdup. Another of the bandits, who had concealed himself in a tree about a mile from the robbery, was shot by a posse. In the possession of the two robbers was $9,7O0 of the money taken from the Farrell automobile.
 Superintendent Farrell, with Tony Sack and George Mcbride, was fired upon while passing along a lonely road ten miles west of this city, as the par -ty was en route to Hillsville to pay the Johnson Company's employees. The bandits, it in said, opened fire as they ran into the road. Farrell, who was driving, was hit by a bullet and the machine ran into a ditch. Sack was killed by one of the first shots fired, while McBride escaped uninjured by dropping to the floor of the machine. The four men, according to Mcbride, rushed to the automobile and, each taking one of the four boxes of pay envelopes, escaped through the bush eS.

EXPRESS COMPANIES APPLY
 TO INCREASE THEIR RATE:
Adams, American, Southern / and Wells Cargo Ask 10 Per Gent. Raise.

Washington, Nov. A5. - Express companies today applied to the Inter state Commerce Commission for an increase of 10 per cent. in their rates.
 The Adams, American, Sonthern and WeIls-Fargo companies, making the application in behalf of them selves and other express companies, set forth that they had suffered a net loss of $39,848 as the result of in creases in operating expenses and taxes during the first six months of this year.
 The companies assert that they are carrying on greatly increased busi- ness under the most trying condi- tions,'' and that their facilities are taxed far beyond their normal ca pacity. It is increasingly difficult, their application says, to obtain nec- essary labor, and because of the in creasing demand for express and bag gage cars for movement of troops and military supplies, it has been impos- sib1es to obtain adequate equipment
 Frequent and substantial advances in wages. particularly to employees re- ceiving lower rates of pay, are said to have been necessary to retain the employees and it has been necessary to hire large numbers of new men to fill the places of those drafted into the army or taken to other employ ment by higher wages.
