BLYTHE RUTHERFORD.
Jno. VV. Wallace received a tele
gram this morning that Blythe
Rutherford died at the home of
his father a few miles from Bates
'ville at 8 o’clock and will be
buried at the family graveyard
Friday aft,. noon.
This will be sad news to
Blythe’s many friends in New
port, where he was loved so well.
It is almost impossible to think
of that once strong, healthy man
being no more. Jovial of dispo
sition, and of a generous nature,
he could easily make friends, and
it can but make us sad to know
that he has been called away in
the prime of his young manhood.
Jno. W. Wallace and wife and
Mrs. I. D. Price will attend the
funeral Friday.
THE DEADLY TARGET RIFLE
Little Tom Alkins of Sulphur
Rock while handling a target
gun Saturday evening was shot,
the ball taking effect in the right
eye. The wound was fatal and
he died Sunday night.
Little Tom and several of his
companions were out with the
gun when the accident happened.
The boys all agree that he was
handling the gun when he was
shot. The little fellow was R
years old. — Batesville Bee.

There is a big difference be
| tween the cost of making a first
class sewing machine, embodying
the best materials and workman
ship, and one which is made in the
cheapest manner. The buyer of
the cheap machine soon pays the
difference of price in the constant
cost for repairs, to say nothing of
its annoying inefficiency.
