May 20—The mu tilated body of Bell Martin, and old negro woman who lived near Climax was discovered at 6:30 a. m., by Mr. Carson Whigham, and'a party of friends while en- route to the Whigham home. The body was found about a mile and a half east of Climax, near a negro church, and it is evident from the' nature of the wounds, that death was caused by blows from a cudgel found by her side. The authorities are searching, for a strange negro man who drove in to Climax at a late hour yesterday evening and inquired the way to Bell Martin’s home. An investigation showed that 1 the same man drove out t) the vitims holne after dark and inticed her away under pretense of carrying her to nurse his wife whom he alleged to be ill. The team which he drove was discovered near Climax- this morning, but up to this hour no clew of the supposed murderer has been unearthed: A Cairo Preacher Presided. Dr. R. H. Harris was called on to preside at the ordination of Rev. L. C. Tuggle, pastor of the Second Baptist church of Thom- asyille, in that city, last Sunday afternoon.

GLOWER US A FARMER the Progress man had a look through the splendid farm of Dr. Eugene Glower Friday af ternoon last, and to say that the experience was interesting is putting it but mildly. We had no idea that the Doc tor was ' farming along strictly scientific lines. But he .is do ing tnat very thing. He has a splendid farm of more than 200 acres, two miles' from town, all stumped and in an ex cellent state of cultivation. Sixty acres in corn and pindars forty in oats, and he will have, v/hen he gets through putting out vines, 30 acres in- sweet po tatoes, besides peas, sorgurn and other crops. Everything is ar ranged with scientific exactness and system, and the whole thing looks mighty good to us. But the most interesting item we saw was the Doctor’s hog crop. Ten brood sows, registered Polaqd-China, with about 100 head of pigs and sho.ats, as fine as was ever seen in this State. The Doctor is experimenting with cattle raising also. He has- a dipping vat for the extermina tion of the dreaded'cattle tick, and finds that the remedy is all that is claimed for it. The Doctor has spent quite a lot of money getting. his farm “fixed”, and his houses and barns are models. But the bal ance sheet is already showing up on the right side. He is supply ing the local market with -pork and beef several times a week, 'd noticeablo fact that he etter price on account of r the high quality. . Flagler Dead Henry M. Flagler died at his Florida home Tuesday morning. He was a very rich man and his Florida estate is valued at more than $50,000,000. Railroading was his pet hobby, and his East Cost and his “Over the Sea Line” from Miami to Key West are great properties. Congressman Roddenbery In Town Sunday Congressman S. A. Rodden bery spent. Sunday with his mother at the old homestead in this city. Our Congressman is a great “mother’s boy”,and when he leaves Washington he, strikes a bee-line for Cairo and his moth er’s home.

J; Willie, of the City Court of Cairo* that the judg ment of the lower court in the case of the State vs. J. W. Bodi- ford, was affirmed. This defen dant.was charged and convicted for the offense of living in a state of adultery and fornication with one Willie Yawn. The de fendant will have to pay a fine of $100.00 or work oh the chain- gang for 12 months. This is one of the most f arreach- ing decisions handed down by the court of appeals, and means much to law and order and morality in this State. Solicitor Willie is to be congrat ulated, though the penalty in this case should have been a chain gang sentence, instead of a fine, A little 18 months old child of Mr. Oscar Mobly, who lives near town, was badly poisoned Mon day by drinking, carosine oil.
