JEWISH CEMETERY
CAUSE OF DISSENSION.
Burial of Catholic Who Had
Married Jewess Stirs Up the
Orthodox Hebrews of
Jonesboro.
A difference has arisen in re
gard to the Jewish cemetery in
Jonesboro, says the Sun of that
city. It was donated to trustees
by Louis Sachs of this city to be
used as a cemetery for Jewish
people. The land was regularly
deeded.
Recently the remains of E.
Frapart were interred in the
cemetery. Mr. Frapart was not
a-Jew nor had he embraced the
Jewish faith. He was born a
Roman Catholic. His wife is of
the Jewish faith. There was
some demurring at the time on
the part of the orthodox keepers
of the ancient faith, but the re
mains of Mr. Frapart were in
terred in the Jewish cemetery
and the Jewish rabbi officiated
at the funeral.
The reason for the burial of
the remains of Mrs. Golding in a
Memphis Jewish cemetery is
given in the fact that the Jew
ish cemetery here contains the
J remains of a Gentile.
| The orthodox Jews in Jones
boro have maintained a quasi
I separate organization and at
j times have separate services in
; the house of one of their num
ber, and one of the congrega
tion officiates.
There has been some talk of a
separate temple.
NO SENATOR YET
IN OLD MISSOURI.
Editor Thomas Smokes Up at
Washington and Says Cock
rell Will Be Returned
to the Senate.
Washington, Feb. 20.—W. D.
Thomas, editor of the Fulton
(Mo.) Sun, who is visiting in
Washington, expresses the opin
ion that if the deadlock over the
election of a United States sena
tor in his state continues it will
end in the return to the senate
of Senator Cockrell, on account
i nf the unwaveriner determination
of the Niedringhaus forces
agair ^t any compromise with the
Kerens forces, and intimations
from many of the former that
they would rather have Cockrell
than Kerens. Senator Cockrell
having been appointed on the
interstate commerce commission,
expects to take that office about
March 20.
RESULT OF LAST BALLOT.

0. M. Sewell is the new super

division of the Iron Mountain,
with headquarters at Aurora,
Mo., succeeding R. P. Dalton,
resigned.
The announcement of the ap
pointment of Mr. Sewell was
given out from the office of the
general superintendent Monday
and comes in the nature of a
surprise to those who have been
watching the changes in manage

The new official is an ex
perienced railroad man, having
been in the service a number of
years. His first position of any
importance was that of conduc
tor on the Tennessee Central.
Later he was promoted to be
trainmaster. This position he
filled to the entire satisfaction of
the management and in time he
became superintendent of the
same system. Not long after
that, he became assistant to Vice
President and General Manager
G. A. Clark in the general office
of the svstem at Nashville.
Mr. Sewell has already as
sumed charge of his new duties, j
Former Superintendent Dalton j
severs his connection with the!

years. He will assume the du-‘
ties of the general superintend
ent of the Chicago, Cincinnati & :
Louisville, a branch of the C.,!

JOHN HARDING
SAYS HE WONT.
In last Saturday’s issue of the
Citizen we mentioned that there
was a rumor going the rounds to
the effect that John Harding was
going to open a saloon in the
Harding building at the corner
of Fourth and Maple streets.
Mr. Harding informs us that the
rurporis a groundless one and
that he or no one else is going
to open a saloon in the Harding
building. Mr. Harding says he
is too busy selling fizz and other
temperance drinks to even think
bf going into the saloon busi
