was received here this week OF the death
of Mr.. E. d. Garter, a pioneer of Scott
county, and father OF Mrs. George r.

oldest man in Scott county, being ninety
one years of age, having been born in 1909.
Mr.. Carter had hoped TO live to be a
hundred years old. but broke rapidly at

her years Mr.. Carter led an active busi-

considerable property at the beginning of
the Civil War. He was in ardent sympa-

thousands of dollars to its support during
the struggle of '61'65. Mr.. Carter was
prominent Mason and a devoted Christian.

without over much difficulty. particularly
where the wall has opened up large cracks,
which is the case at frequent intervals.
There is no stone whatever in the con-

stices are filled with composition of sand
and gravel, which, while remaining very
hard for years crumbles after long
exposure.
