was therefore nearly 70 years OF
age at the time of his death. He

In 1860 Lieut.. Wheeler was sta
tionod in the frontier posts of
New Mexieo, whore he distin-
guished himself in scouting ex-
petitions against the Indians. His
s.rvlce in the West was of short
duration, fer the cloud which had
been hanging over the Union
burst in 1861 and North and
South took up arms egainst each
other.
Lieu. Wheeler was a Southern,
er with all the Southern belief IN
the rights of bis State, and when
the two sections divided he took
up the cause of his own people.
Resisning from the United States
army he returned to the South
and was appointed first lieuter-
ant. He was assigned to duty Of

Bealvoir is a Real Old Soldiers Home

Jackson, Miss, Jan. 90 Audi
tor T. M. Henry, Secretary of the
Board of Trustees of the Soldiers
Home at Beauvoir, has made his
report to the Governor, showing
ltLe transaction of that institution
from Dec. 10, 1908 to Dec, 81,
1906, inclusive. He states that
the efforts of the State to estab-
lIsh a real home for the decrepit
soldiers of the Confederacy has
been successful, and that the
hopes of the most sanguine have
b en- realized. while all opposi-
ten has disappeared.
According to Mr.. Henry, the
experimental stage has passed,
and the Home is on solid foun-
iation. The report shows that
Ill men and women have been
admitted to the Home since it's
establishment-101 being men,,8
wives and two widows. Twenty
one have died since admission,
their average age being IL years,
AMI most OF them being bed-rid-
den when they came to.the Home.
The are now 90 inmates of the
Home, all that can be comforta-
bly, housed, and IN fact it is stated
that they are crowded, so that
new dormiteries are demanded.
There is an unexponded bal
ance of nearly $4,000 in the hands
oil the trustees, which it is sug.
gested should be devoted to the
erection of additional buildings,
and the Legislature has been re-
quested to put it to that use.
The trustees want $l5, 1000 for
this year and $4,000 for next year
as a maintenance fund.
The total expenditures for the
past two years amounted to $16,-
5l6 CS and shows that the institu-
ton has been economically ad-
ministered.
