 Louis and Catherine Mullins. who were among the earliest settlers of the Wiregrass. had twelve children. six boys and six girls, Two of the boys died in Infancy. Ten of the children grew up and contributed descendants to the remarkable family.The oldest of the children Is 70 years of age and the youngest 41.

There are SIS of them in the picture. Several other descendants were unable to be present.
 The question is often asked what makes the Wiregrass one of the great est if not the greatest farming sec- tions of Alabama One of the answers is in the picture of the descendants of the Mullins family. The picture was taken, at Waterford, once known as Elba Junction. The occasion was the family reunion on Saturday. July 4th. Members of the family had gathered from far and near.

GOVERNOR IN DAILY TOUGH wrrH
 HIS OFFICE.
Amonw Numerous Matters Dcmasdfng Governors Attention Besides the strike are Text-Beek Diner
 enees, High Schools
 and Military.

The determination of Governor conner to remain indefinitely in Birmingham on account of the miners strike mas somewhat retarded the transaction ol dailv in phone conversation with Pri- vate Secretary William E. Fort, Row ever, and everything is despatched with as much speed as possible under tne circumstances.
 The Governor has before him several petitions for pardons and paroles on which he is likely to act at any mo- ment Indeed. he may have decided already on several of the applications for ciemency, but, as is his custom. when he issues pardons and paroles, he does 1t in punches. For this reason, the scores of convicts seeking freedom are breathing more easily and wftn more hope than would be the case or dinarily.
 It is known. too. that reports of Ex- aminers of Public Accounts, have been forwarded to the Governor. which he will have to make public shortly :. Among these is known to be that Of Examiner H. Y. Brooke on the &C., counts, books and vouchers of the Ad- jutant-GeneraPs department. and all the regimental officers of the Alabama National Guard.
 This report is said to contain some interesting maLIefs lL pefHB eh0 hADs examinatio of the military accounts in several years. It will disclose the source and manner of expenditure of every item by the militia or the com nnanding officers for period running back a number of years.
 1t is highly probable that the Gov ernor will find it necessary also to act on the various textbook matters now pending before his return to Montgom- ery. There has been a slight hitch in fhe form of contract between the State, acting through the Governor and the Secretary of State, and the various publish CTS who were the successful bidders last June. Also, there is still the troublesome question of the Frye geography adopted by the Commission and now held up by the States agents because Indiana children are buying the book for ts cents cheaper than 1t is proposed to be sold in Alabama.
 Not the least important thing on the Governors calendar is the location of the high schools in several remaining counties. This he will have to do very shortly in conjunction with the State Auditor and State Superintendent of Education, the other members of the High School Commission. The local authorities in the counties which have not yet got a decision from the Com mission are said to be clamoring for action. They desire to start on the scholastic year with a high school this fall, and want time in which to fur, nish and equip or maybe build strue- kure for oocuDancY

PREPARING FOR THE FAIR.

By Mrs. George Mason, Quilcene, Wn.
Jefferson County is this year holding
it's seventh annual County Fair, which
meets at Quilcene Sept. 22-25.
The resources of Jefferson County
are only in small measure developed,
but the showing made at her agri-
cultural fairs has bordered on the won
derful. There seems no limit to the
productiveness of her fertile valleys,
and no end to the variety of her pro-
auctions.
It is expected that the exhibits this
year, in some lines at least will ex-
eel any heretofore brought out.
One feature of the fairs seems wor-
thy of especial comment, and that is
that many of the best premiums for
poultry and vegetables have gone to
very young farmers-to boys under six
teen years of age.
This year it is proposed to make a
special feature of the young peoples
department, believing that 1.-THE best
stock farmer can keep is boys and
girls, not hogs and sheep"
And we believe we have some OF
the best going when it comes to this
kind of stock.
We have some fine stock of other
kinds, too, and any one visiting our
County Fair this fall will doubtless
see some of the finest dairy stock in
the United States.
Our Fair Association, like all new
projects, has had it's struggles; but
they are mostly in the past. We now
have gained fine financial footing,
and that added to our social success,
predicts for us a useful and successful
future.

FIRST ANNUAL FAIR.

The directors of the Western Wash
ington Fair Association will hold their
first fair on the new grounds on East
Madison Street near Lake Washington,
Seattle. from September to IL, and
an exhibition is promised that should
attract a large attendance OF farmers
from this section of the state.
The entries in the livestock and
poultry departments, as we'll as the az
ricultural products, are coming on III
a. most satisfactory manner, and the
usual racing events and amusement
features will be of more than ordinary
interest.
Eleven carloads of pure bred dairy
and beef cattle have already been en-
tered for exhibit in the livestock de-
partment. This assures an interesting
display of the splendid horses and cat
tie now owned and bred in western
Washington. An innovation in the
livestock department is class for the
American carriage horse.
A number of silver cups are offered
by the association in the livestock
classes.
The amusement features OF the fair
will offer visitors to the falr SIX DAYS
program of entertainment that will
equal in variety and novelty the other
fair programs on the Pacific Coast.
The six days racing program will
bring out daily card of harness and
running horses to contest for purses
ranging in value from 5000 to $1,000.
Ken West, the phenomenal green rae
er which recently went mile in
2:O8h on a Walla Walla track, will
be one of the new contestants for hon
ors in the fast classes, and is looked
upon as one of the coming record
breakers of the Pacific Coast.
The railroads have made official an
nouncement of special excursion round
trip rates from points throughout the
state to and from Seattle for the bene-
fit of visitors to the fair.
