| Mr.. Joseph Benoit, one of the mos
remarkable men of this country, de-
parted out Of life June 8, 1904. after
having lived one hundred and Ave
years and playing important parts
in the history of the U. S.. when life
and all he possessed were offered in
the interest Of his country's welfare.
He was born in Paris, France, in
1893, and came to this country with
his parents when on two years of
age. Very early in life he became
one of the principal traders with the
Indians. He engaged in this until
the breaking out of the Black Hawk
War in 1882. i'm which he was en-
gagged as a soldier in the u. S. Army
He also took part in all the princi-
pal battles Of the Mexican War in
l846 under General Scott, and was
with that general In his triumphant
entry into the city of Mexico.
After serving in the U. S. Army
curing these wars ana receiving an
honorable discharge a. d honors for
bravery and faithfulness, he retired
to private life and engaged in bust
ness. He was skilled workman
and built the first lead furnace in
Wisconsin and completed many such
contracts in Illinois, Colorado, Mis-
souri, and Kentucky. In 1913 he was
married to Miss A ice Holmes and
seven children were born to them.
Age and infirmities compelled him
to spend his last days in the Soldiers |
Home In Milwaukee, where he died.
The funeral services were held from
the home of his daughter, Mrs. M. J. |
Burns, in this city, and conducted by |
Rev. J. Hardcastle. The soldiers OF |
the G. A. r. paid due respect to the
services and followed this veteran
and brave soldier to the last resting
place.

HUNTSVILLE WANTS
 THE NEW RAILROAD
WELL KNOWN CITIZEN OF THAT CITY SAYS THE PEOPLE THERE ARE ANXIOUS FOR A REPORT FROM THE ENGINEER.

Huntsville wants the Huntsville, Bir- mingham and Gulf railroad built, so as to have closer connection with Birming- ham," said Frank J. Thompson of Hunts vile yesterday. "A number of the most progressive citizens of Huntsville made several trips to Birmingham some months ago, paying their own way each trip, and went through the process of forming a tentative organization to secure a survey of the route between Huntsville and Bir- mingham Our part of the money for this survey was cheerfuiiy paid, but we have had no report from the engineer who made that survey, and our people think 1t Is due them. as well as those gentlemen in Birmingham who under took to manage the enterprise, that some report should be made regarding what has been done.
 Almost the entire trade of Huntsville goes to Nashville, which Is farther than Birmingham, but which has such rail- road facilities that shoppers can leave home in the morning, spend five or six hours in Nashville and return that night The Commercial club and the business men of Birmingham are sleeping on their opportunities when they neglect this rich section and permit it's trade to go elsewhere"
