bedside. The sufferer regained con- sciousness when. his wife entered the room and exchanged a few words with her, later lapsing into state of coma from which he did not awake again.
 Mir. Farley was A years old, most of which time he has spent in Montgom- cry. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Maggie Farley, and four children, Jo- seph L., Thomas A., Katherine R., and Margaret Farley. His sisters, Mrs. Dominic Bastiani, Mrs. John Carroll and Mss Maggie Farley, survive the deceased, as also John D. Farley, his only brother.
 After his graduation from St. Mary's College. Kentucky, MT. Farley entered commercial life and became In very few years, one of the most expert bookkeepers and accountants in the State. His exceptional ability drew him from the business with which he first became engaged to the big firm of Griel Brothers where he soon went to the top of the accounting department
 Later, becoming interested in mu- nicipal affairs, he was selected as chief clerk of the City Department of Sani- tation and continued in that capacity for eleven years. He was, four years ago, unanimously elected by the City Council Clerk of the city of Montgom- cry, and during his work in this de- par became known as the most efficient clerk in the history of the city.
 At times, when his work permitted, he was called upon as a special exam inor Into the recorded affairs of busi- ness concerns that were in a tangled condition, and was of great help to all the offices of the municipality.

Farley was easily the most pop ular official that has ever held office in lfNr Aa1 1vnd fN ln he rae to become his admirer and friend He was never officious in his manner to those with whom he came in contact, but his easy. pleasant manner and every ready helping hand drew friends to him from all walks of life. In his death his relatives have lost a man of whom they could well feel proud, the city has lost the aid of its most ef1- clent official, and the Catholic Church has lost a valued member.
 Arrangements have been made to bring the body home from Mississippi

smaII Number of Prisoners.

The Dallas County jail, which, was almost depleted of inmates by the re- cent session of the Circuit Court of Dallas County, is again filling.
 After all of the prisoners had been sentenced and taken from the jail af- ter the term of the court only ten or fifteen prisoners were left in the jail. Since the adjournment of course the jail has been filling rapidly, and to- day has fifty-five inmates, and no doubt within the next few weeks the usual number of about 100 will be confined to the institution.
