OF w. T. MUMFORD.

West Feliciana has sent many of her
gallant Sous forth into the world to per
form its labors, but none of these was re-
membercd i'll the old home more affeC-
tionately and by greater number OF
longtime friends than Vim. T. Mumford,
Therefore, many were saddened when
the intelligence was received Tuesday
morning, by his brother DR.. F. NJ. Num-
ford, that he had died suddenly that
morning at New Haven, Conn.
Mr.. Mumforl was born in Bayou Sara,
June 3, 1841, a son Ut the late Capt. Rob
inson Mumford. Though but a youth
when the civil war broke out, he enlist
ed in the Confederate army and was
lieutenant in the first La. Artillery, and
was captured at Fort Jackson, Vicksburs
and Mobile. A fter the war, he obtained a
position with Judson's Bank, private
banking house in New Orleans In 1870
he organized the firm of Mumford &
Watson, and managed the City Hotel,
which for many years was considered one
of the best hotels in the South, He was
also connected at one time with the old
St. Charles Hotel.
Tn 1886 he left New Orleans, going to
California. He returned few years later
but remained only short time,
when he went to Mobile and became con-
nected with the Battle House of that
city. Later lie was interested in hotels at
New Haven, Saratoga and Long Branch.
| The hotel at New Haven, of which he
was the owner, was not long ago convert,
ed into n dormitory for the students OF
Yale College. At the time of his death
Mr.. Mumford was tho director of this
dormitory and owned hotel at Saratoga.
His connection with the hotel business
made him well known not only in New
Orleans, but throughout the state, his
genial manners, his cheerful disposition
and his constant flow of humor making
him deservedly popular. Children par
ticularly loved, and were beloved by him.
He was never happier than when sur
rounded by bevy of youngsters, upon
whom he played all sorts ofgood-natnred
tricks, that were accepted by the happy
victims as gifts from the gods indeed.
Through the long years he remained a
bachelor, he was especially the, goo d
genius of his many nieces and nephewF,
sympathizing friend in oil their plans
and pleasures. TO his widowed mother,
while she lived, he was devoted son,
anticipating her every wish, t" his sis
ters lie was ever the most tender and con-
silerate of brothers, and between him and
his only remaining brother DR.. +. NJ.
Mumford, there was bond Of cOngenlal
interests, which time and distance could
not weaken.
In 1889, he married Miss Susan CALI
han of Saratoga, N. Y. and she with bel
two little daughters survive him. Ht
had built home in Saratoga, and con
templated an early retirement frow bust
nass norns Jn accordance with hi,
| wishes be was buried at that place, the
interment taking place, Friday, Feb. q
Far from his boyhood home aud tn
Southland no loved, he yet will rest ii
peace, his grave watched and tended b.
his devoted widow and young daughters
May all the hearts that loved him, bow
in submission to the all-Father, VIII
doth hot willingly atflict, but still mus
garner the ripened wheat.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Aug. 10. = A
circular letter has been sent out by
the Santa Fe trafiic department to
several hundred Kansas stockmen,
advising them not to ship stock to
market at the present time. The
letter states that the indications now
point to large crop Of late feed, calls
attention to the fact that there is
plenty of wheat in the country, which
may be used for feed, and concludes
by declaring that, although it may
cost the stockmen considerable more
this winter to keep stock, as compared
with past winters, the stock owners
will profit In the end. The stock busi-
ness of the Santa Fe and other Kan
sas roads has been immense during
the past several weeks, the farmers
rushing their cattle to market because
of the drouth and attendant failure of
a large proportion Of the corn crop.
While the earnings Of the road are
now being materially increased as a
result Of the stock rush, the Santa Fe
officials realize that the cattle move
ment means injury to the people the
road depends upon for business.
