Smoke SIGNALS.

A French paper gives the story OF
smoke from a chimney being employed
to give information to the enemy. The
members of a battalion OF French in
fantry that had moved into a we'll
covered country and thought them
selves concealed were inundated With
shells The officers were astonished
at the accuracywith which these Shells
were delivered and sought to find who
was giving signals to the enemy, In
a farmhouse at no great distance from
the battalion a German, disguised as
a peasant, was found seated before a
chimney in which was a great wood
fire. The pseudo-pcasant was alter
uately raising and lowering a chin
ney cover or screen which caused the
smoke to come from the chimney in
long or short puffs as he desired.
While doing this he looked through a
window upon the field where the
French battalion was performing its
evolutions. These signals which had
been agreed upon between the spy and
the enemy readily informed the Ger,
mans of the movements of the little
troop On discovery of this stratagem
the false peasant was arrested and i'm
mediately shot.

Death Notices and Obituaries

There seems to be a misunder-
standing on the part of some people
in the county as to the publication
of notices of death in The Vidette.
We have never refused to publish
re notice of death. On the other
hand, when there is death in the
county We desire to publish it. We
do not publish obituaries or poetry
in this connection and of course il
there is a death in the country and
no one reports it we may not notice
it for the reason that we know moth
ing about it, but W. always notice
a death where it is rep rte1 to us or
we can obtain the information. We
do not publish obituaries for the
reason that a paper with nothing IN
it but obituaries would be of very
little interest to most or our subscrl-
bers and if we should publish them
for nothing we would not have room
for any news or anything but obitu-
aries and aside from taking all the
space in the paper it would make
the impression upon people outside
the county that Tishomingo county
was very unhealthy and no one
would care to move into the county.
