Inc many ITlenuS VI L.
son will regret to learn OF MS
death which occurred at his home
in the eastern part of town last
Tuesday night at $50 o'clock,
after an illness of very few
DAYS caused from old age. he
was 81 years old, and had lived
in Prescott for Is years.
Mr. Greeson was born in Tenn
and moved to Arkansas in 1897
in Vanburen County, here he llV-
ed until he moved to Prescott
and has been one of our most
honored and beloved items
during the past Is years.
He was a man of generous
impulse and never forget the
hospitable ways of the pioneer.
The stranger, even though a
beggar, never failed to find food
and shelter if he sought 1t at his
hands, and he was at home by
the bedside Of the sick and de-
lighted in all kinds and neigh
borly offices. He had borne ad
versity bravely and enjoyed
prosperity quietly. He had fill
ed the various relations of life,
as son. husband, father, brother,
friend, and filled them well.
Who can do more?
But he is gone. Another name
is stricken from the ever lessen
ing roll of our old settlers, and a
solitary woman in the sunset of
| life, and a lonely home. are left
to attest how SADLY they will
miss him. 1t must be so; these
tender human ties cannot be
severed without a pang. Yet in
such a death there is really no
cause for grief. His life work
was done. and we'll done. He
had passed his golden wedding
day and wearied with life's
duties and cares. weary of suf-
fering and waiting, he Law down
to rest.
Tired ah, yes! so tired dear,
| shall soundly sleep tonight,
With never a dream and never
a fear.
To wake in the morning light. ;"
He was a man who united
sound sense with strong conviC-
tons, and a cardid, outspoken
temper. eminently fitted to
mould the rude elements of pio-
/
neer society into form and con-
sistency, and aid in raising a
high standard of citizenship in
our young and growing state.
How much this community owes
him and such as he, it is impos-
sible to estimate, though it
would be a grateful task to
trace his influence through the
more direct channels, to hold
him up in these degenerate days,
in his various characters Of
husband and father. Of neighbor
and friend, to speak of the Sons
and daughters he has reared 70
perpetuate his name and emulate
his virtues. But it comes not
within the scope of this brief
article to do so. Suffice it to
say, he lived nobly and died
peacefully at the advance age of
81 years. The stern Reaper
found him, as shock of corn,
fully ripe for the harvest. "
Not for him be our tears
rather let us crown his grave
with garlands; few of us will live
as long or as well, and fewer yet
will the Angel of Death greet
with such a loving touch.
The funeral was conducted
from the Methodist church
Thursday, Sept. %, 1910, by Rev.
W. A. Steele. assisted by Rev.

A Tale Of Ten Thousand Dollars.

And now u appears that despite
the peculiarly emphatic denial of
Representative D0herty Of Tunica
county, there was something In that
$4,000 proposal" of w. A. pcrcy's
after all.
IL will be remembered that several
weeks ago In speech 40 Holly
Springs, Senator Bilbo stated that he
had been Informed that one w. A..
Percy, brother Of the Common
Cause Senator, had offered Rcpresen.
tative Dohcrty $4,000 II the latter
would swear that Bllbo had stolen
$500 from him while he was asleep.
Under date OF Sept. 20, Represen.
tative Doherty addressed an open
letter to Senator Bilbo in which he
denied emphatically that any such
offer had been made him, or that she
had ever made any statement which
could be construed into charge that
w. A. Percy had offered him any
money to make such an anidavit."
Replying to Doherty, Senator Bilbo
the next day addressed letter to hin
10 which he inquired il 1t were not
true that Doherty was approached bJ
W. A. Percy and asked II Blbo hat
not robbed him OF $500, and II, upor

Hughes Ninth Annual Opening.

Last week marked the ninth annual
Fall and Winter opening Of the w.
d. Hughes store, and each day, not.
withstanding the inclement weather,
saw large crowds continually in at
tendance. The opening proved one
OF the most successful ever given by
this progressive merchant.
The showing OF the new pattern
hats from Paris and New York
brought out many exclusive styles
and shapes from Mesdames Sheubert,
Reynolds and Violet and the Misses
Johnson and Stern, as well as dis
play OF exclusive trimmings and
novelties. There is also an excellent
line OF chldren's trimmed and un-
trimmed hats.
During the past week an attractive
showing has been made 10 ladies'
specialties in dress trimmings and
ladies and children's suits and coats,
together with large line Of ladies,
misses and children's sweaters, with
very large line Of hair goods. While
all these extra fine goods we're first
placed on display during the past
week, Mr. Hughes prepared for what
be believed would be heavy run on
each and has supplied himself with
an abundance OF each line, all OF
which are continually on sale.
On last Saturday, 10 discussing his
ninth annual opening, Mr.. Hughes
expressed entire satisfaction with the
results OF the first week, and elimi'
mated the detriment OF the inclement
/ weather In his comments. He said be
accepts this showing Of activity az
Indicative OF the revival OF business
along all lines and believes that the
entire country, especially Pascagoula
and vicinity, is on the eve OF a general
awakening Of prosperity.

BAD BREAK IN WATER MAIN.
Thousands of Gallons Went to Waste,
But Local Supply Was Not Affected.

The first break of any Importance IN the
mains of the Brattleboro Water works
company since the high pressure service
was inaugurated about year ago occurred
Monday afternoon about $50 O'Clock.
The 10-inch main which comes down
Western avenue to Green street puISt
near the entrance to George u. CroWeii
home and by the time the water couid De
turned off considerable damage had been
done For a distance of about Is feet the
sidewalk in front of Mr.. Crowelfs grounds
was undermined and washed away, Inc
water went down Green street and that
tboroughfare was impossible a short time
after the break occurred as the snow ana
ice gathered up by the water made num-
her of temporary dams which set the wa
ter across the street and over both SIDE,
walks in places. AT the corner of School
street the water was turned and surface
drain at the corner of Elliot and School
streets took care of most Of the Hood al
though a part of the overflow reached the
corner of Elliot and Main streets short
time after the break took place. 70
When an attempt was made to shut on
the water at the gate in front OF the Hign
street primary school house it was dlscov-
cred that the shut-off could not be ope..
rated. After digging through 80 inches OF
frost it was found that the contractors
who had put in the shut offs left three
pieces of board in the main which had
been forced into the valve, preventing the
closing of it. The water works company
shut off the water for distance of about
800 feet on the avenue while the break
was being located. The break was in the
old main.
MANY people mouned the waste of wa
ter as it went rushing down Green street,
and it will doubtless please the citizens
of Brattleboro to know that thu. break
made no perceptible difference in the
height of water in the Pleasant Valley
reservoir. Not only is there enough water
in the big reservoir to supply the needs OF
this village until the spring rains come but
the reserve has been increasing during the
last month. The supply has exceeded the
demand and the height of the water has
increased a few inches within month: In
view of the fact that little rain has fallen
since last May Brattleboro people may
congratulate themselves that they have
snch a supply of water. Practically all oil
the adjoining towns are facing water

The Poultry Industry.

1t is fact not generally known f that OF o,
all farm products poultry stands NTH IN
value. 1t is estimated that the cash de-
rived from the sale of poultry and eggs
amounts to half billion dollars annually.
Ii is believed that this amount Is oelhg
rapidly increased each year, due to me
fact that farmers are beginning to realize re
the profits there are in well-cared-for
flock of hens. When all poultry keepers
fully appreciate how easy it Is to increase
the productiveness of their fowls, 1t Is fair
to assume that this branch of farm prod
nets will advance well toward first place

from c. D. Chatterton of West Brookheld,
Vt. indicates the way in which some are
