WON BY sHAMMINe INSANITY
How Two British officers Fooled Their
Turkish captors by Period Of
FelJned Madness.

Are they really lunatics or brilliant
nctorsl
Sceptlcal Turks and British asked
the question as they looked az the
! weird, CHASTITY figures of Lieutenant
Jones and Lieutenant Hill in the
prisoners ward OF Turkish hospital
IN the early days of the war.
Here Is a picture of Lieutenant Hill,
as described by another British oiil-
Ger:
"a touSlcd scarecrow of n man. His
long. untrimmed hair hung over his
unwashed neck, his cheeks were sunk

Jones was IN bed opposite. His
face was unusually white. The young
forehead was divided and subd.ylded
by deep wrinkles; u golden beard
tufted from the chin; the head was
covered by a too large fez, made OF
white linen.

The reputation of these two officers
as lunatics had spread through every
prison.camp IN Turkey, says the writer
who tells the story in "BIackwood's
Magazine" But they We're not mad.

There is much butchering of
hogs throughout the county these
days and some of the porkers are
said to be in the finest condition a
regular hog ever gets. Choice
porkers are said to be reminding
the farmer that his lot is not SO
bad, regardless of politics or re-

OF the city folks are drawing the
conclusion that the country cous-
in is realizing the price of fresh
pork, and are not as generous as
in former days.
The local market has not been
beautifully supplied, it is claimed,
with this fresh supply of meat.
There is a ready sale at fair
rices, it is claimed by those who
come to the city with a small
quantity for sale, however; the
shipments into the city are said to
be unusually small, despite the
fact that there are numerous far

ERECT MONUMENT
HONOR or SOLDIERS
Committee Named To Arrange
Details and County Is Ready
To Make Appropriation

A granite monument especially
and appropriately designed is to
be procured and erected in the
front yard of the Madison county
court house and dedicated to the
memory Of those who lost their
lives in the late war.
The definite action was taken
at the regular meeting of the fs-
cal court on Tuesday after Attor-
ney 0. P. Jackson delivered an
address in behalf of fallen heroes
who made the supreme sacrifice.
The tai kof Mr.. Jackson had to
do with the part Madison county
took in the great struggle and
the cost of human life; the patri-
otism displayed and the honor
roll as a result. Mr.. Jackson
brought the matter to the atten-
tion of the court and urged the
building of this memorial to the
soldiers, both white and colored,
who died during the war. He said
he wanted the name of each carv-
ed on the shaft to be permanent
tribute to- their memory where
their friends and loved ones may
always see it.
The county is ready and willing
to appropriate the required sum
for the monument and the inten-
ton is to further the plans where
by it can be procured and estab-
ilshed. 1t is the intention to de-
eide regarding teh nature of the
monument and have the same pre-
pared and procured according to
the decision of committee
named by Judge w. K. Price,
presiding over the court.
The committee which will have
charge of the preliminary work,
and which will issue call for a
meeting in the near future for the
purpose of arranging the details,
comprises the following: Esquire
T. B. Collins, DR.. D. w. Williams,
ESqu1re w. >. Miller and AtlOr-
ney 0. P. Jackson. They will ar
range a meeting. when the details
regarding the nature of the monu-
ment and other features will be
decided upon.
Judge Price stated that the
county stood ready to do its part
when called upon and there would
be no delay regarding the appro-
priation It is probable the monu-
ment will be placed in the south
west corner Of the court yard.

will be decided later.
