About one mile west of Mrs.
S- D. Jeffries’home west of town
was the scene of a tragedy, Wed
nesday evening about sundon,
in which Maynard Garner shot!
and killed Early Cunningan, both
negroes- The weapon used was
a shot gun and the full load
struck the victim in the face and
left side, five shot entering the
heart- Both boys were about 14
years old and the cause for this
rash act or accident has not yet
been learned- Cunningan was
astride a mule, driving some
cows home when he recieved the
deadly load. The mule and
cows at once began running to
wards home and the boy fell off
the mule a few yards down the
road- Garner and his father
were the first to go to the dead
boy and reported that the boy’s
death was caused from being
thrown upon a barbed wire
fence. The boy (Garner)stated
today, Thursday, before the cor
oner’s jury that he knew nothing
about Cnnningan having been
shot, but witnesses were pro
duced and proved that he him
self killed Cunningan with a
load of No 5 squirrel shot dis
charged from his gun, but were
unable to say whether he did it
purposely or accidently.

Story Of The Play.
The story represents a dream
given to the Toyman’s daughter,
Katy, by the Sandman. The open
ing scene is in a toy shop at night.
The Sandman puts the Toyman’s
daughter to sleep. In her dream
Katy is visited by the retired
fairy, Sylvauia, who leaves a bot
tle of magic smelling salts, by
means of which all the dolls and
toys are brought to life and hold
high carnival.
Among the novelties introduced
of particular note are the fasci
nating pictures formed by the
Paper Dollies as they glide
through the picturesque figures
of their dance drill. In striking
contrast, though humorously di
verting, is the drill of the Jump
ing Jacks, in effective costumes of
green and red.
The carnival scene is brought to
an end by the appearance of the
fairy, who summons) the Sandman
to aid her in getting the dolls back
to the toy shop. The Sandman,
while singing a lullaby, shakes
the dreamland tree and sprinkles
sleep sand in the eyes of the dolls,
transfering them back to their ac
customed places in the toy shop.
Katy awakes from her slumber to
find that it was all a dream. Admis
sion 25 cents.

OBITUARY.
i
Died, Monday, May, 4, 1908, at
the home of her parents, Dr. and
Mrs. H. P. Hargis, their daughter,
Henry Geraldine, aged two years
and 29 days.
A brief funeral service was held
at the home Tuesday morning con
ducted by the pastor, Rev. J. A.
Patterson.
The services were concluded at
the grave in the family cemetery'
near Revels, Tuesday morning by
Rev. H. T. Raney.
Many of the relatives and
friends of the family were present,
as they looked upon the sweet,
placid little body in its white cask
et and surrounded by beautiful and
fragrant flowers—yet not more
beautiful or purer than the little
face within—their hearts swelled
in sympathy for the bereaved fam
ily. But let us not think of little
Geraldine as dead, but as living;
not as a dower that has withered,
but as one that transplanted, and
touched by a Divine hand, i s
blooming in richer color and
sweeter fragrance than those of
eaith. A Friend.

Thousands of city people are now
counting the hours when they can
leave for some lake or river for an
outing, where they can fight mos
quitoes and bugs for a few days,
and perhaps get drowned. It is a
great thing and many of our ances
tors lived and died not knowing
what a vacation or an outing meant.
