Chas. B. Jenson & Co., of this
place have applied for a patent
on new water lifting device for
irrigation purposes. They have
model and it has worked to
perfection for two months at the
Jenson ranch on Salmon river.
1t works on water wheel plan
with buckets and troughs, and i
the current of the water drives
the wheel, and water can be rails
ed to any desired height and a |
big volume. The device can be
built at small expense, and the
machine operates itself. 1t is
fine thing for irrigating bench
lands along Salmon river, and is

Death of w, H, Fowler,

William Henry Fowler, native OF
/ Raleigh, N. c., but for many years
past a resident of this town, died at
the home Of his father-in-laV, j. b.
Quimby, at 7:40 O'Clock last Saturday
night, after long illness, age ed thirty
five years, two months ana twenty
| two days. Mr. Fowler came to Dom
aldsonville about fifteen years ago
and was engaged as typesetter on
| this paper, working himself up by
dint of we'll directed energy and APP
plication to duty until he was finally
promoted to the position Of foreman
! of The Chiefs composing room and
job department. After several years
service he resigned this position, and
at the outbreak of the English Boer
war he went to New Orleans and Sc
cured employment on one of the many
vessels which sailed from that port at
frequent intervals for South Africa,
carrying horses and mules for the
British army in the Transvaal. At
the conclusion of hostilities between
the two countries he returned to the
United States and resumed news paper
work, accepting a position as foreman
and business manager of the Pointe
Coupee Banner, at New Roads.
In September Of last year Mr.. Fowler
came to Donaldsonville and opened a
job printing Office in the Kline build
ing at the corner of Crescent Place
ard Houmas street, being also en-
ployed as typo on the Donaldson
vile Progress, which had just been
established. Tt was about this time
that the dread disease which finally
carried him off manifested itself. Sub
sequently he removed his Office to the
Israel building in Railroad avenue,
but ais condition steadily grew worse
and he was soon compelled to abandon
his work. He then went to CoVington
in the hope that the inyigorating pine
air and pure spring waters of thai re
sort would benefit his health, but the
hope failed of realization and he re-
turned to Donaldsonville, remaining
here until the final summons.
Three years ago, while located at
New Roads, Mr.. Fowler was married
to Miss Winnie Quimby, of this city,
the union being blessed with one child,
a daughter.
The funeral took place at 3 o'clot
Sunday afternoon from the Quimt y
residence in Lafourche street and S
attended by large concourse of sor-
rowing relatives and friends. Service
were held at the Railroad Avenr 9
Methodist Episcopal Church and in
terment was made in the Protestant
cemetery. Rev. E. P. Craddock OH
ciated, and the choir was composed of
Misses Julia Fevrier aud A. Cham
bers, sopranos; Miss Essie Stern and
Mrs. f. j Ekel, altos; Leopold We'll,
bass, and Clinton Chambers, tenor.
The pail bearers were Messrs. VIM
Dill. Jos, Werner, j. Rumsey Duke,
E. N. Sims, Fred Werner, Sr., and
j. T. Blouin.
Besides his. wife and child, Mr..
Fowler is survived by his mother, who
resides at Raleigh, and sister, whose
home is IN Atlanta, Ga To these at
..icted ones The Chief begs leave to
tender assurances Of sincere and pro
found sympathy.

A Patriarch Passes away.

The following despatch from Amite
City to- the New Orleans Picayune,
bearing date of Sept. 30. records tbs
passing away and burial of a vener,
able patriarch who lesided in Ascen-
sion many years ago, and number
of whose descendants, including four
sons, are citizens of the New River
section of this parish:
The funeral of William Acy, who
died at his home here Monday eve
ming, Sept. %, took place this after
noon a. 4:30 O'Clock, interment being
made in the city cemetery. Deceased
was Sc years of age, and up to the
time of his sudden death was remark
able specimen of physical strength and
health. Monday evening, at the APP
pointed hour, he sat down to the din
| ing table and began eating his supper
as usual. He talked IN haracteris-
| tically cheerful~Way of the approach
ing election and his last words were:
81 IN going up To the POLLS tomorrow
and vote for George K. Favrot." He
then clutched spasmodicalIy at his
heart and with smUthered groan
sank back in his chair, dead, heart
failure being the cause of death.
Deceased was a native Of Columbia,
S. c., but had lived in Amite since
the early sixties. He was three times
married and his last wife survive 5
him, together with number of
children and grandchildren. He
was a scholar and especially an at
tenttye student Of the Bible, theology,
ancient history and various branches
of philosophy. He was familiar
figure on the streets of the town, and
was often the center of crowd who
the questions of the hour; politically,
socially, religiously or otherwise; and
he always St emed to have at his com
mand arguments of the amusing and
entertaining variety. He frequently
expressed the conviction that he would
live to be 100 years old, and then he
would tell the weird story of how he
had already taken the precaution to
prepare for his own burial. Some
twelve or fifteen years ago he had his
own grave dug according to correct
dimensions. Within the ground he
had placed an extensive marble tomb,
and he stood right there to See that
the work was we'll done. Then he had
a monument erected, bearing the fol-
lowing inscription:
William Aey, Jr., born on Wildwood
Plantation. South Carolina, four
miles south of Columbia, Saturday,
Sept. z, 1922, at 10 O'Clock a. m.!n
After a space, which was evidently
reserved for the Inscription of his
death, are the words: ''In my Creator
I fully trust" He also purchased
costly casket and tested it to see that
it was snug fit. He expressed him
self assbeing we'll pleased with it, but
when they attempted to place his body
ia it after Death it was found to be
trifle too short and an exchange was
rendered necessary. The frsb coffin
exchanged was too long for the tomb,
and third one was necessary. This
delayed the funeral until almost dark.
Deceased was the owner OF an ex-
tensive plantatie n in Mississippi,
which is operated by his son, and he
lived on the income derived from the
cotton thus raised.
The funeral service was conducted
by Rev. G. G. Thomas. Baptist min
lister. There was in attend arce at the
funeral all his surviving children with
the exception Of one.
