Death OF Hon. j. W. Maynard.

The whole town and county were
thrown into mourning upon learn
ing of the death of Hon. j. W.
Maynard. at his home here Mon
day night. While the end had
been anticipated several months,
owing to the apparent failure of
health and his enfeebled condi-
ton, the shock was neverthe-
less painful and expressions of
genuine regret were heard from
every one. He had been for many
years not only a constant friend
and genial companion to almost
all of our people, but conspicuously
identified with all matters involv-
ing the best interests of the com
munity, aud an honored and trust
eel public servant who was never
found lacking when the days for
rendering an account of his stew
ardship rolled around.
Mr. Maynard came To Aberdeen
from Itawamba county in the early
seventies, and his first occupation
was that of deputy in the chancery
clerks office. In that capacity he
displayed tue qualiti, : of honesty
and integrity that characterized
his after life, and during the car
petbag regime he served the peo-
I pie better than was ever known TO
more than few. in the way of
preventing the squandering OF
( public funds through a corrupt
and venal board of supervisors.
| In 1919 he received the assign
ment as agent of the Southern ex-
\ press company at this station
which he held continuously with
\ the greatest satisfaction and con-
fidence of his employers until q
I few months before death. when he
was retired on pay for previous
faithful service. During his in
cumbency of that office he was
! elected to several successive terms
on the board of aldermen in which
he occupied the most important
positions in that body chairman
Of the finance committee and clerl
of the board Then he succeeded
to the Mayoralty and held that pc
sition about ten years, retiring a
his own volition. After the dealt
of the lamented VIM. g Elkin, Mr.
MAYNARD was called TO succeed hin
as member of the board of super
visors from the fourth district. ant
served as president of the boarC
until his death. His was a Ions
tenure of important, responsible
positions, but no Individual eve
assumed public trusts who dis
charged them with more conscien
tious service or with greater de
gree of fidelity TO those who re
posed their confidence.

loss Of one their most useful anC
respected citizens, whose place IL
