would have been his prime had not
disease aged him 50 carly. For more
than twenty years A. Mechanic lived
in Homer, and through all of that time
was f,lly identified with the interests
of the parish. He was man of rare
mental endowments. Without any of
the culture of the schools, he was pos

Beginning life at the lowest round of
the ladder, by energy, industry and
the exercise of the rarest of faculties,
strong common sense, he accumulated
q fortune unusually large for this por-

family. A wife who has shared all his

now largely in their own hands. With
the advantages they have, brilliant
