At his home near Pinkney on the 10
day of October 1908, Ezreal w. Bennett
breathed his last
Mr. Bennett was born in Marry Coun-
ty 50 years ago but has spent the greater
part of his life in this County. He
lived for many years near Fall River
and has lived, at different periods, in
almost every section Of the county.
At Pinkney, where he died, he had re-
sided for about 20 years. His widow
Mrs. Mary Bennett, three sons, Will
liam f., Babe, and W, ID. Bennett,
three daughters Mrs. JAS Hardwick,
Mrs Rufus Thomas, and Mrs Clay
Green survive him. Mr., Bennett was
one of that old type of citizens who
chung to the idea of simplicity in style
of dress and living. He would not
have clothing except such as were made
at home, and characterized the modern
dress and manners as vanity. He was a
believer in honesty and was possessed OF
that sterling quality to the most exact
ing degree. 1t has been well said, that
his doors were always open to every
person and that his charity was broad
magma nimous type. No one was ever
turned away from his door, without
such assistance as he could give, when
in need. He was never a member OF
any church but firm believer in the
| Christian faith as was evidenced by his
last words "That the doors were thrown
open and that he was ready and waiting
for the summons and had been fol
some time" He was n man who spent
a life of labor and toll and was not sat
isfed except when at work. He was ;
true friend, and never had any bittel
enemies, and had friends in abundance
wherever lie lived and was known
1t is this and much more that can bC
said of lzrael W. Bennett. He repre-
sented type of American rapidly pass
ing from the stage OF life whose like
will never be seen again but from
which future generations may Learn
much that is great and valuable.

Lawrenceburg is going to have
waterworks. That's sure. The
town is big enough, and the con-
ditions demand it. If the bond
.ssue is defeated on the 29rd ms.
tant private company will put
them in. And no small part of
the opposition to the bond issue
comes from capital seeking this
juicy plum for itself. Think of
this situation Mr.. Taxpayer, and
cast your vote, not for or against
waterworks, but for the public or
private ownership of waterworks.
That's the issue, and the only
issue. You fear an increase of
taxes, listen:-If a private com
pany puts in this plant there will
certainly be an increase in your
taxes. The town will have to paw
for all its lights and water, and
every cent paid must come direct

ty Aowners. The Council some

relying on the advice of their attorney,
who took the ground that because Howe
has since been adjudicated bankrupt
the funds should go 10 the trustee of the
bankrupt estate. This relies on the case
of in re johnson. in which there is a rul-
ing favorable to tho contention OF the
bank which was handed down by Judge
Wheeler in 1891. 1t is claimed by Young $
attorney that this case was overruled by
the case of Metcalf vs.. BARLEY. which
was decided in 1902 by the United States

contrary.
a demand was made IN the bank Mon
day and upon n refusal to pay over the
money the office furniture and other prop
