Little Mary, the youngest daughter

Little Mary, the youngest daughter
of Mrs. Louise McVey, died at the
home Of II. D. Thrash, 10 Welsh, at
$3.50 O'Clock Friday evening. Her
death was the result of heart trouble,
and came as severe shock to the
family. She was a little over three
years old and was beloved by all who
knew her. The funeral services we're
conducted at the Methodist church
saturday afternoon at four O'Clock,
and the little body was laid to rest in
the Welsh cemetry. The mother and
family have the sincere sympathy of
the community, and though it is hard
to part with the little ones, yet the
rough stones and bard experiences of
life's pathway, Mary's feet have been
spared and she now beholds the face
of Him, who takes little children as
lambs to the fold"

Army Accounting Also Loose

Gen. F. D. Grant, formerly on duty
at Governors Island and now in com
mand Of the Department Of the Lakes,
has called attention to a condition be.
lieved to prevail to a greater or less
extent at many army posts. General
Grant recently received from his in.
spectOr general a report which show.
ed many technical irregularities in the
keeping of accounts by junior army
officers detailed as commissary Off.
GERS. General Grant was informed that
in some instances the young commits.
sary officers depended too much on
the comimssary sergeant and that not
sufficient care is exercised by the post
commissary in the selection OF an Off
Ger to perform the duties Of post com.
mssary. The papers have reached
the Inspector general OF the army,
Gen. E. A. Darlington, who says that
the commanding officer OF a pos. un
der such circumstances must share
the responsibility Cor the failure of his
eommissary to comply fully with army
regulations and existing orders" The
conmissary general of the Army, Gen.
H. G. Sharpe, entertaiHs the same
view, and says;
In the opinion of this Office. the
commanding officer of a post is to a
greater extent responsible for the ir,
regular conditions found existing by
the Inspector general than the two
young and inexperienced officers VINO
by his orders were assigned to numer
Gus duties involving large property
and financial responsibility, for which
they were untitled by reason of theil
short service and consequent lack Of
training. This case illustrates the
conditions and the possibilities for
fraud at a post where no supervision
of c~ommissary affairs is exercised by
the post commander."-Washingto
