JOHN A. FULKERSON.

We print herewith an excellent
likeness of Mr.. John A. Fulkerson,
sheriff of Lafayette county. He is
perhaps personally known to as
many people as any man in the
county. Mr.. Fulkerson served as
deputy sheriff under Zach w.
Wright, and on his record as dep
uty ne was nominated and elected
sheriff, and is now serving his first
term. lie is making an excellent
record as as officer. He is fearless
in the execution of the duties of his
office aud honest and efficient in all
transactions. Mr. Fulkerson will
doubtless ask an endorsement of his
record by the usual reelection,
and will get the endorsement with
out any opposition. The Office of
sheriff is difficult one to fill, but

with a large attendance. Prof. W. S.
Jarvis, at one time principal of the

LADY MEUX's ARCH.
The Famous Historical Gateway the
English Gentlewoman Has Trans
ferred to Epping Forest.

Old Temple Bar.-What visions the
! name calls up of midiaeval London, when
that time-worn monument was one of the
great city's outmost gates, What-cnenl-
cries of traitors heads, grinning gnaSrly
down upon busy Fleet street., What
dreams of royal pageants, prentice riots
and all the myriad scenes and Incidents
which came to pass under the Temple
Bar of olden days.
In the Fleet street of today Temple
Bar IS not; an impossible heraldic griffin
marks the spot where it stood. But in
spite of this fact the historic gateway is
still an actually. When, in 1919. the bar
was taken down by order of the London
county council the entire structure was
purchased by Sir Henry MeuX the
wealthy brewer. Brick by brick. and
stone by stone, Lady Meux the person
who really coveted the ancient monu-
menD had it removed to her sons place
And So today, as one bowls along
certain quiet road between Hartford
shire and Essex, through the heart of Ep-
ping Forest (Which, although boasting
well-wooded. is still but a forest in name
only) one is likely to notice Temple bar
doing duty as entrance gate to the Meux
country seat. Lady Meux had it set up
just as it stood in Fleet street of old
(but minus. of course, the grinning neads
which ranged along its 'front.'. Instead
of the roaring street beyond. one sees
trim carriage road, winding in and out
between giant trees. trees which stood in
the days when Henry VIII dwelt at Theo
balds park-for that is the name of Sir
Henry Meux's famous residence.
Temple bar, religiously restored. and
ernbowered in trees. cannot fail to re-
mind the thoughtful of some grim old
veteran or aged public servant. who has
retired TO the quiet country to spend his
latest days in peace.

Water Rights.

1t behooves. the citizens of Weber
county. or for that matter of every
county, to look out for their water
rights Each year sees the waters of
the mountain streams become more
valuable. Business associations are
reaching out 10 get control of water
rights in every possible manner The
laws are memorable in favor of recog-
nizing the rights of the first settlers,
but first settlers are proverbially care
less about maintaining and protecting
their rights. Unless water rights are
used the right lapses and there are a
number of irrigation bitches in Weber
county whose owners would find it
awkward to prove just how much OF
their water rights they have exercised.
The officers of the various irrigation
and canal companies should find out
just how much water they own and
should see that their titles are per-
fected and protected. 1t may save ex-
pensive tigation-perhaps unsuccess-
full litigation.

+ OF It, but in vain. About this time. in
1869. Dutch farmer named Van Nei-
keFk got on the track. He wandered
from tribe to tribe, from village to VIII
/ lase-one day hopeful of success and
the next respondent. At length he was
directed TO a certain witch doctor resid-
/ ing in a Kaffir village, and. after a
good deal of paIaver and plenty of stuff
10 drink, discovered him to be pos
sessed of a pure white stone of extra
ordinary size and lustre The witch
doctor, however was unwilling To mart
with it, and would not give up until the
Dutchman agreed TO pay over all his
oxen, his tent wagon, and about every
thing else he had. The offer finally
brought the witch doctor to terms and
Van Neikerk carried off the gem. 1t
was a good bargain, for it proved to be
a f1awless diamond of the purest water
and worth S125.000. The stone is now
owned by the countess of Dudley. It's
discovery first attracted serious atten-
ton to the South African diamond
fields.
There is, nevertheless, another story
which relates that the Dutch farmer
showed stranger some bright pebbles
with which his children played and
that the stranger honestly told him
that he suspected them to be diamonds
Subsequently this proved to be the
case, so that the poor man became
very rich. A similar account is given
, of poor gardener of Golconda in In
dia, who, finding III his garden a
beautiful stone, sold it for enough to
provide himself with a competence. 1t
was a poor negresS who, in July 1853
found in the sands of Bagagem, Brazil
the Star of the South a pure white
gem of 254 carats.
The blue clay which contains the dia
mond Of Kimberly, in South Africa, is
brought from deep mines to the sur
face Of the ground and spread out so
as to expose it to the influence of the
sun and moisture. Thus treated it
( soon crumbles, so that at the end of
three months it may be put into great
washing machines, in which, by means
of running water, the gems are sepa-
rated from the blue stuff Then the
residue is placed in large gobs on
tables, where it is sorted with small
trowels. The diamonds occur in all
shades. from deep yellow to blue white.
and in g great variety Of green's blues
and pinks. They vary in size from a
pins head upward. Next, the dia-
monds are cleaned by boiling them in
acids, after which they are carefully
sorted as to size. color and purity. On
an average, 100 tons of blue clay will
yield 100 carats of diamonds.
The diamonds are sold in parcels to
local buyers, who represent the leading
diamond merchants in Europe. In one
Instance nearly 100000 carats were sold
in one lot to single purchaser. The
company sustains loss of from 10 to
10 per cent of its production by steal
ing, il is reckoned. The native work
men are engaged for a period of three
months, during which time they are
confined in compound surrounded by
a high wall On retiring from each
days work they are obliged to strip
off their clothes. Stark naked they
proceed to the searching room, where
their mouths, their hair, their toes, in
fact. every part of their bodies are
subjected TO an ella borate examination.
