PRISON FRS PRESENT PITI-
 FUL APPEARANCE.

Paris, Sept. 28. (By Mail)-Ex- changed prisoners of war come back to Italy by way of Lake Como, and of all the sights of this war, that of an arrival of exchanged Italian pris- oners is the most pitiful.
 In Italy Austrian prisoners are we'll cared for, well treated, well fed. They go home well and strong. In return for them, Austria sends back human wrecks, horrible to see. It sends back men mutilated, men vast ed by starvation and disease, men who have suffered the most horrible cruelties. As each arriving tram comes in, half the returned prisoners have to be carried off in filters, not because they are wounded or ill, bus because they have been starved.
 Each train is met blythe American Y. M. G. A. with cigarettes and such things as the soldiers want. Y. M .C A. secretaries pass among the poor fellows giving them what comfort they can and what assistance IS pos sible Secretaries representing the 'Y", Knights of Columbus, Y. w. c.

MISS MARJORIE
 PILKINGTON DEAD-

Friday night, October IS, 1913, at 1O:30 o'clock the death Angel invaded the home of Mir. and Mrs. Lucius Pill kington and claimed for his own, their eldest daughter, Miss Marjorie. She was just budding into young wo- manhood, having attained her 18th birthday the 30th of last April. Her life cast a ray of sunshine wherever she went. Always bright and happy, infusing joy and good cheer into all circles, into which she was thrown. By her multitude of girl frinds she was a general favorite. She was a member of the the Searcy Symphony Orchstra and her future as violin is was most promising. She was also just completing a business course Tn short hand. During the Culpepper meeting she was converted and unit ed with the Baptist church, being baptised after the meeting closed. Her illness was of short duration, having contracted influenza week ago last Tuesday, from which pneu- monia developed, which lasted for weight hours, resulting in her death. All that human skill could do, to save her was done and many, many earn est prayers ascended to the throne of an all-wise Father, that if it was His will, this precious life might be spared. Yet we know that He doeth all things well, and may we each and all try to say, Mot my will, oh Lord, but thine be done"
 Funeral services will be conducted by her pastor, Rev. Wm. Cooksey.
 Among the relatives who are here to attend the last sad rites, are her grandfather, T. s. Neylon, and broth CT, Robert, of Texas, grandmother Pillzington of Fulton, Ky, George and Dan Pilkington of Marianne, Mrs. Joe Hall of Campbell, Mo-, Mrs. John Gray of Batesville and Mrs. J. P. Wood of Sidon, Ark.-Searcy Citizen.

 The influenza situation shows lit tie change, some communities re- porting an increase and more of them a decrease in the number of cases. In Little Rock and many other locali- ties the crest has passed, but in oth- CTS, particularly the rural districts, the worst is probably yet to come.
