In the passing away of Capt. Spears
devoted husband, loving father, an
honOred business man, brave soldier,
true and loyal friend has been re-

Capt. Spears was born in Paris in
1910, and was the third son of Abram
Spears and Rebecca Ford At the ag e
of thirteen he began to do for himself,
being early in life trained to provide
for his own necessities, and after meet
ing all OF the obligations of life like a
true man, ne dies a wealthy man, leav-
ing one OF the largest and most pros
porous enterprises in our community,
being at the head of the well-knoW

At the outbreak of the war he
espoused the cause of the South, and
volunteered his services in he Second
Kentucky Infantry as private, he was,
however, soon after elected First Lieu
tenant in Company &C." know in his
tory as the Orphan Brigade" and
for effective service rendered, ne was
promoted to a Captaincy, and bravely
leo his company until the close of the
war. During this time he participated
In ali the heavy battles in which his
command was engaged, except Shiloh.
He was three times wounded and once
taken prisoner, yet through all, he &C.
quoted himself as true and gallant
soldier.
There are only three surviving mem

Briagde"-J. f. Mcdonald, of Kan
sas City. now visiting friends here,
John Darlington, of Nicholasville, and
John Malone, who has been an inmate
of the county infirmary for twenty
years, refusing a number of times to
allow Capt. Spears to provide home

Upon mis- return to Paris at the
termination of the War, Capt. Spears
engaged in the grocery business for
two years with his brother, the late
Henry Spears. In 1867 he engaged in
business under the firm name of Wood
ford, Spears & Clay. which lasted for
nine years when the firm dissolved.
Capt. Spears then purchased the mill
site on Stoner, now know as Spears
M;U, which he conducted until he NOV
ed to Paris in about 1886.
In coming to Paris he purchased the
coal, grain and seed business of his de-
ceased brother, Mr.. VIM. Spears, and
for number of years the firm name
was Spears & Stuart until the firm was
dissolved and Capt. Spears then took
his two sons, Woodford and Catesby,
into the business with him.

THE SOUTH POLAR TIMES.

Discovery. sent to examine the south
polar lands. Every possible effort
was made to keep the men cheerful
and In good physical condition.
Walks over the ice were taken as a
matter of duty. and that efforts for
entertainment were made is evil
denced by the following account OF
their diversions:
At meeting held in the ward
room II was decided to bring out a
monthly paper. something like Lon
uon magazine. Each of US wrote on
piece OF paper what we thought the
best title. The South Polar Times
was the one chosen. 1t was to be
published on the frst CT each month.
and every member Of the ships COM
rany was invited to contribute to-
ward making 1t the most amusing
Instructive, up-to-date Journal. with
the largest circulation within the an
tartic circle. Notwithstanding this
superexcellence. 1t was to be issued
free to all the population OF our small
colony. the cost of production being
more than covered by the grateful
feelings OF the recipients, to say
nothing OF the advertisers. A rival
magazine. named the Blizzard, which
was brought out to AFFORD a voice for
poetical enusions rejected by the
South Polar Times. did not survive

n Ii astonishing how few people
there are who know what a pecan
nut II. and attn more surprising to
realize that there are very few who
recognize differences In quality or
varieties. and who really know that
there Is really as much differences in
IN" havor OF pecans as there Ia in the
flavor Of different varieties OF apples.
The Wild seedlings may be thick
sheiied, bitter and es.ringent, where
as the cultivated forms are thin
shelled. rich and delicate In flavor
and texture. For many years the
markets Of the East have received
and have consumed considerable
Quantities OF the Seeding nuts OF
Florida. Louisiana. Mississippi. Texas
and other regions where the pecan IA
Indigenous. These nuts range from
good TO very Indifferent: and poor.
they all present the same polished
brown exterior In the grocer's win
dow. but vary greatly In the quality
OF their meaty contents.
The United States is good deal of
nut-eating country. Something over
$o,0oc.000 worth OF nuts are i'm
ported annually. On tho other hand.
we only export about $4,000. This
export quantity is largely made up
OF English walnuts grown on the Pa
cific coast, and perhaps few pecans
from the South. II Is interesting to
note that as the pecan has become
known In the East i,s consumption
has increased. and with Increasing
consumption have come also higher
prices. Less than ten years ago or
dinary nuts could be bought for five
or six cents pound. These nuts.
which we're then used by nurserymen
Tor growing Seeding stocks. now
bring from eight to twelve cents a
pound. There is a still greater ad
vance In tho price OF the really edible
varieties. Where formerly they we're
sold f.r ten cents. they now bring
twenty and thirty cents. while the
propagated varieties sell up to fifty
and sixty cents. when private and
personal trade is established. There
IL no question at all that the pecan Is
one OF the coming nuts, and is bound
TO be a leader among the orchard
fruits OF the future.

ant quality OF being non -perishable
