Death Of Mrs. Henry n. Chandler.

Again we have to record the death of
one OF our oldest and most highly re-
spected citizens, Mrs. Sarah Ann lPerrin)
Chandler, who was born Feb. 10, 1923.
and married April 2s, 1876, TO Henry Hill
ton Chandler, the second son of our
welI-remembered townsman, William b.
Chandler, who established the Chandler
home near this village nearly a century
ago.
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Chandler made
their home in Royalton during the early
years of their married life, but in 1853 be
moved to central Georgia, where they re-
mained till the spring OF 1868, forty years
ago, when they returned to his native
home, there to finish their mortal life.
Their residence in Georgia included the
whole period Of the Civil war, which was
disastrous to them as well Is to native
Southerners.
They had six children, three of whom
survive-Henry w. Of Milwaukee, Wis,
VIM. Alonzo of St. Paul and Della, whose
home has ever been with her parents.
Mrs. Chandler was q devoted daughter
to her own parents and to the parents of
her husband. She was a faithful wife
and mother, and an always kind neigh
Dor and friend, keeping closely to her own
household and its interests, but ever con-
siderate of others. Her bealth had been
excellent during most OF her long life and
her industry and cheerfulness were most
worthy of emulation 1t very seldom
happens that . marriage continues so
happily for fifty-five years as was true of
her and her husband, who died in April,
1901, while she survived until Saturday
evening, May 2, 1905. Her mortal part
now rests beside that of her husband in
the lot in Southyiew cemetery. where re-
pose also the bodies of her husbands pa
rents and three of her cbiIdren-Helen,
Laura and Don Albert.
The funeral service was attended at the
old home Tuesday afternoon, May 5, by
company of sincere mourners, mostly her
near neigh hbors. Rev. Fraser .Metzger
officisted. OF her relatives, only her son.
Henry, her daughter, Della, her grand
daughter, Mabel Guyette, and her bus-
bands brother, Col. Albert b. Chandler,
Of New York were present.

OLD EDUCATOR rARALYzED
Captain Pratt, Former superintenden
 of Usbh.


 Centreville, Ala, Jan, 7--(Special)- late yesterday afternoon stating that Captain R. H. Pratt of Six Mile. town about nine miles from here, had suf- fered a paralytic stroke and was in q critical condition. On account of his extreme age and his feeble physical condition his friends fear the worst. Captain Pratt has for years been one of the most prominent educators in Alabama and for three terms has been County Superintendent of Education of Bibb County. For nearly quarter of a century he was principal of the High School at Six Mile and perhaps no single individual in the South did more fore the cause of education during that length of time than he. Some of the most influential men and cultured women in Alabama were students under him. He devoted his time. means. energy and intellect to the cause Of education and no worthy boy or girl was turned away when seeking an education because of lack of means
 He was a gallant Confederate soldier and rose to the rank of Captain during the Civil War.
 Thirty-four persons are standing ex animation to secure license to teach in the public schools of the State. The examination is being conducted at the County Court House by Professor ]. c. Hicks in the absence of Captain Pratt. The majority of the Applicants are white persons.
 The jury term of the County Couri for the Centreville division convened here Monday morning is still in ses- sion. Up to this writing there have been fourteen convictions and pleas Of guilty. several cases dismissed and no, a single acquittal Court will prob ably adjourn this afternoon.

DEADLOCKON LIQUOR
CITY OFFICIALS STILL DISAGREE
 ON DIsPENsARY.
Mayor and I've CounciImen for Revel. Three Other Aldermen for Red- doch--BrsntIey Dfspensary
 May be Closed.

Luverne. Jan. 7.-(Special .)--Anoth- CT chapter in the dispensary situation was placed in the records of the fight last night.
 Mayor T. W. Shows was unable to go to the mayors ofioe last night to hold the regular monthly meeting of the City Council. so he had them as- semble in his room at his residence on Third Street, this being the date to elect another member of the Dispen- sary Commission, the term of A. H. Revel having expired.
 After the fcompletion of the regular order of business Councilman Kendriclt nominated Mir. Revel to succeed him. self on the Dispensary Board. and Councilman Foimar nominated J. IL Reddoch for the place. Three ballots members of the Council voted for Mfr i. Reddoch, while two members and the Favor voted for Mir. Revef.
 It soon being determined that no change would be made in the result by numerous voting, the Mayor announced that no election had been held and that Commissioner Revel would serve until his successor was elected and quali- fed.
 Councilman Folmar insists that the Mayor should declare Reddoch elected, which the Mayor declined to do.
 Mir. Reddoch was qualified this morning and he will join Pollard and Kirkpatrick in their petition to dismiss the bill for mandamus, which is set for hearing before Judge J. C. Richard. son at Greenvi1e. Ala.
 The situation at Brantley, the only other town in the county. is different from this at Luverne in that the City Council met there last night and elect ed three commissioners who were de- sirous of closing the dispensary at that place. But the Luverne muddle will IAikely settle that of Brantley.
