Mr.. Walter H. Alpha died at
the residence Of his father, Mr..
Lyman H. Alpha, on Wednesday
last at 6:15 p. m, at the age OF y
years and 3 months.
Young Mr.. Alpha had been i'll
in Texas about a month ago, but
grew better and decided not to re-
turn to his home here. After a
further time spent there he again
grew worse and came home, ar
irving here from Forth Worth on
Monday morning Of last week.
The illness which resulted so ia
tally was pronounced by attend
ing physicians as.typhoid fever.
Death to the aged is the fulfill
ment only OF times immortal
span, but to the young the blow
is doubly severe. To die in the
full strength OF manhood's first
bloom is like the plucking OF a
beautiful flower from its parent
stalk-the rending of home ties,
leaving a void; blank, dark and
desolate.
Mr.. Alpha possessed many no.
BILE characteristics, chief among
them being his open-handed gen.
erosity. 1t was his greatest
pleasure to relieve those whom he
found in need Of assistance, hop
ing for naught in return but the
good will of his fellows.
His remains were inferred on
Thursday afternoon at o'clock,
the beautiful service of the Meth
odist Church being repeated at
his grave, amid the lamentations
of a host of friends. To his be-
reaved relatives our deepest sym
pathies are extended.

The members of the finance
committee of the construction of
the court house are urgently re-
quested to be in Franklin on next
Tuesday for the purpose of hold
ing a meeting on the arrival of the
noon train. At this meeting BUSH
ness of Importance will be
transacted and a full attendance is
desired.
Through regrettable oversight
we failed to mention last week the
appointment of Mr.. George H.
O'Niell as cashier OF the st. Mary
Bank and Trust Company, by the
Board Of Directors Of that institu-
ton. We consider the selection
splendid one, as Mr.. O'Niell is
a gentleman possessing in "A

NO WOMEN CAN
BE SECRETARIES

WASHINGTON, July 21.-Women
clerks of the Agricultural Department
cannot hereafter act as private secre-
taries for male chiefs of divisions or
bureaus. This dictum, harsh as it may
seem, stands as the law in that de-
partment. Secretary Wilson has is
sued it and he says he means busi-
ness.
By the terms of his order, no woman
clerk under him shall in future act as
private secretary or confidential clerk
to male chief of division or bureau
in the department. The order is the
direct result of the Holmes cotton
scandal case, in which Mrs. Bertha
Burch figured so prominently, testify
ing in this city two weeks ago in the
trial of Holmes.
On account of her position in the
office of the chief statistician of the
department, she became an expert in
crop figures, and now she is conduct
ing statistical bureau of her own in
