|. B. BROWN
DIES At HOME
IN LUNENBURG
Well-KOwn Merchant with
Distinguished Military
Career

On Monday morning, October 16
in Lunenburg, one Of the oldest
citizens, Comrade Lorenzo B.
Brown was mustered out. Faith
ful and loyal to the best interests
Of home, ncighbors, town and The
larger claims Of state and country,
he will long be remembered and
quoted by a host CT friends. Not
idly mourned, for that would be
farthest from his wish, but with
that respect and reverence Of mem
DRY which inspires to action to the
performance Of duty, and withal
to kindly, uplifting social life.
Mr.. Brown was born Sept. %,
1899, one Of the nine children Of
Scion and Charlotte Brown. His
only brother, Joseph, was taken
prisoner at the battle OF Cold Har-
Dor, and died in Andersonville
prison, he himself having enlisted
as 4 private in Company y, 1st
Vermont Cavalry, November 10,
1861. He was taken prisoner at
Harper's Ferry during General
Banks retreat up the Shenandoah
Valley, and held in Libby prison
about four months. He was honor
ably discharged at Washington,
Sept. Is, 1862.
Unable to return to active ser
vice, he enlisted in the Veterans
Reserve Corps, Volunteers, Sept.
4, 1863, where he served as a ser
geant in Company G, 18th Regi-
ment, until Sept. 30, 1864.
For many years he has been
Commander of Howard Post, No.
80, and had conducted the services
on Memorial Day. 1t seemed Pc
culiarly fitting that Howard w. L.
c. should be present at his funeral
in body, together with one G. A.
X. brother y. NJ. Smith, Of East
Concord, also that a detail Of
Overseas Veterans should accom-
pany his body to the cemetery, and
there pay the soldiers last tribute,
firing three volleys over his grave.
But while we pay honor TO one
of our brave soldier dead, let Us
remember with equal respect his
record as a loval citizen.
Shortly after the yvar. June 27,
1868, he married Harriet NJ. Tay-
Tor of Dalton, N. H.. taking his
bride to the old home farm in Con
cord. where ,hey lived until 1881.
From here thev came TO the Lucas
Farm near Lunenburg village. and
thence in 1919 to the Moulton res
idence.
Besides being = thrifty and sue
cessful farmer. NJ. Brown has
shown marked ability in the mel-
camille business. In 1898 he
bought the Cutting store where,
beginning in a small way and
without capital. he developed one
Of the largest general stores in
the county. In this business he
retained ALWAYS a keen and lively
interest.
Both Mr.. and Mr.. Brown have
for many years been active church
members. As long As health per
mitted he sang in the choir, and
served as q member OF the official
board in the Methodist church.
1t was here in the old church
that his MANY friends gathered to
whisper goodnight as he lay sleep

Geo. D. Chewning
 Grows Big Oat Crop

Geo. D. Chewning, the we'll known farmer from the Peytonville communi- ty, this week threshed his oat crop from twenty acres with a total turn out of 979 bushels. The threshing was done by Jas. Hemphill of Rich mond. MT. Chewning believes that had not some of the oats been blown by a wind the yield would have reach ed 1000 bushels. Anyay this is rec ord average yield so far as is known. The crop was produced from a level upland tract that has probably been under cultivation for half a century. tMr. Chewning will follow the oat crop with a crop of peas. He grew 5000 bushels of corn last year and had much for sale. He figures that if cotton comes back to high price and the farmers find successful way of controlling the weevil there will be @ stampede to grow cotton. This will be his signal to quit cotton and grow corn to sell to the cotton growers.

NEGRO SHOT TO DEATH
Fired Upon When He Attempts to Shoot Another Black, Officers Say.

Texarkana, June 21-Jesse DeLoney negro, was shot and killed Monday might near Homan, 14 miles east of here, two pistol bullets of large cali Der passing through his body. Dennis Whitney, also a negro, later surren- dered to the authorities and was brought here and placed in the county jail last night. It is said he admits the shooting. According to the infor- nation received by the officers who in- fvestigated the affair the shooting was the outgrowth of a quarrel at a crap game a few hours previous to the tra agedy. It is said that Whitney way
 laid DeLoney and tried to shoot him
 as the latter was on his way home, but
 before he could bring his gun into ac-
 tion, Whitney whipped out his own
 pistol and killed DeLoney. A loaded
 shotgun was found beside the dead body.

SUPREME COURT DISMISS
 ROAD CASES MONDAY
Gases Were Against Commissioners of HOward-Seyfer Road Dist. No. l,
 for Failure to File Reports.

The Supreme court of Arkansas last Monday reversed and dismissed the cases from the Howard and Sevier county circuit courts against road commissioners in the two counties, in which fines of $50000 each were assessed at recent terms for failure to file reports with the county clerks of their transactions in connection with the construction of Howard-Sevier Road District No. l.
 In the Sevier court only the officers of the board were indicted, J. W. Hol- 'combe, B. w. Fawcett and J. H. Jones, but in Howard county the other two members of the board, J. L. Stinson and Otho Corbell were also indicted.
 Holcombe, Jones and Fawcett were fined $500.00 each in both counties, their fines amounting to $1,00000, and Stinson and 'Corbell were fined $50000 in Howard county.
 The commissioners had no objection Ito filing the reports, but were advised that doing so would entail a needless expense, and that it was not required by the law, which contention was proved to be correct by the action of the supreme court Monday.

BURN WILTON BRIDGE
Fourth Time Small Bridge in Wilton Has Been Destroyed.

Wilton, June Especial. l.)-Last Friday night between 12 and o'clock the bridge on the public road running north and south, was coal-oiled and then set fire.
 This is the fourth attempt to close this road by demolishing the bridge. There are two public roads running north and south through the town of Wilton and the citizens desire to have both roads kept open for the conven- fence of the traffic and as an outlet for those living on this road.
 However, anarchists believe in rul- ing and it is evident, are determined to close this road even at the risk of life and property.
 The bridge destroyed is On the sec tion line and is the road surveyed for the new highway.
 The council has been called and requested to make an immediate ap- propriation for the rebuilding of the bridge. Efforts are being made to catch the culprit. Wilton needs some K. K. Ks.

JUDGE E. p. TONEY
 SPOKE AT hSHDOWN
Candidate for Governor Made a Good Impression Wednesday Night
 by Address.

Judge E. P. Toney of Lake Village, candidate for governor, spoke at the courthouse in this city Wednesday evening at o'clock in the interest of his candidacy. He was introduced by chairman A. D. DuLaney. Judge Ton ey made good impression and said that he would make a second visit be- fore the close of the campaign. In brief outline of his platform he de- clared himself in favor of amending the state banking laws and favored bank guaranty law. He favored tax relief and said that under Gov. McRae taxes were higher than ever known. He believed the Hartje Amendment, tax on personal for internal improve ment, would lower the tax on land and he was for it. He discussed the school system and the deplorable con- dition of the schools of the state, and charged Gov. McRae with using large sums of school money for other pur- poses. He attacked the purchase of Camp Pike by the state and declared that his county had no need of Camp Pike and that if Little Rock business interests needed it they should have bought it. He believed it scheme to again try to move the state university there, in which event heavy burden of taxes would be imposed to build new buildings principally for the ben eft of Little Rock. He said that while Gov. McRae issued no pardons public ly that he and his penitentiary com mission had turned $50 criminals out at the back door secretly through the parole system, and cited several in- stances, the Yates Standridge case being one.

WEALTHY BESIEGE SURGEON
Many Rich Men and Women Seek New
 Glands and Vitality.

Chicago, June 2.-One immediate re- suit of the successful gland transplant ation to which Harold F. Mccormick submitted, and the wide publicity giv- en his case, has been numerous appli- cations from wealthy men, whose vi- tality is waning and who desire reju- venation, and from obese women, wealthy dowagers who fear the loss of social position because of their in- creasing avoirdupois.
 Inquiries from women past middle age have been as eager and as numer- ous as those from men. Surgeons say it is possible to rejuvenate these wo- men but the operation is far more con- plicated than for men, and has not been attended with the same success.
 It was said today that since operat- ing on MT. Mccormick, Dr. Victor Les pinasse has performed similar opera tions on at least six other men, all of them wealthy and prominent, but in these cases he and his patients have been able to keep the operations sec ret.
 Meanwhile Mir. Mccormick rapidly is recovering, and it is said he will quit the hospital Friday and start East per haps day or so later. It is said he will sail shortly for Europe.

 A real swatenpout fell in Allende, according to the message, and two arroyos brought the rushing torrent down through the principal street of that city of 10000. Many houses of adobe construction fell, and six Mexi- can al fe 4killed when their barr lSstroyed.

A large cotton mill is operated there.
 River Still Rising. sa, sThe flood waters of the Rio Grap are over the banks of Lossaen sett4e- rnent, 12 miles west of here.
 At Roma a stage of 35sfeetsis re- ported, and the river still is@ rising Many cattle ranches on both sides of the river are inundated, and all com- munication is cut off. The fate of the residents is unknown.
 Four hundred feet of levee protect ing a division of the San Benito irri- gation district about miles up river from Brownsville gave way before flood waters of the Rio Grande this morning.
 | Reports from San Sebastian, Tex, 42 miles north of Brownsville, report Ted that flood waters from the Merce- des river were reaching the tracks of the Gulf Coast lines there, thus threatening isolation of that section within AS hours No fear was felt for the safety of Mercedes, where it was said the levees would take care | of five more feet of water.
 Five hundred pounds of dynamite was ordered from Brownville today to Mercedes to be used in destroying dykes which were preventing flood wat I CTS from reaching Arroyo, Colorado, an arm of the gulf of the Gulf of Mexi- co south of Harlingen, through which much of the excess water may reach the gulf
 All Records Broken.
 The critical flood stage ill the lower Rio Grande valley flood, which already has inundated nearly 16,000 acres, ma rooned nearly 1000 Mexicans in small border towns and covered the roads leading west of Mercedes, is expected Thursday.
 This flood, the result of a cloudburst in Terrell county, Texas, last Satur- Iday, has exceeded all previous records.
