ROAD CURLING
INSPECTED BY
COUNTY BOARD
COMMISSIONERS ARE PLEASED
WITH CONCRETE ON EITHER
SIDE OF HIGHWAY JUST WEST
OF BAYOU CHICO BRIDGE AND
WILL ADVERTISE FOR BIDS
FOR MORE WORK.

Three members of the board of
county commissioners. who had been
appointed a committee for that pur-
pose, yesterday afternoon inspected
the concrete curling put down by W.
P. Kennedy on the Fort Barrancas
road, west of the Bayou Chico bridge,
and, according to the statement of a
member of the committee, the work
was found to be satisfactory, and the
heavy rain and storm of Tuesday
night and Wednesday morning proved
the wisdom of putting down the con-
crete curbing.
So far, 1900 feet of the curbing has
been put down, $50 feet on each side
of the road, the curbing having been
laid for the distance as an expert
ment. 1t is the intention of the board
of county commissioners to have con-
crete curbing placed along each side
of the road all the way between the
Bayou Chico bridge and the Bayou
Grande bridge. and at the next regu-
lar meeting of the board it is probable
that bids will be advertised for for
the completion of the work.

Obituary.

John, son Of Jacob and Rachel Tomp-
kins, was born Oct. 20, 1885, and de-
parted this life Oct. 81, 1911, aged IS
years and day.
He was the oldest of family Of
eight children, all OF whom have pre-.
ceeded him to the better land, except
one brother and one sister.
Sept. 3, 1863, he was married to
Elizabeth Newly. S x children we're
born to this union, Of whom only three
are living, William, Emma and Flor
ence, and the devoted wife and mother
to mourn their loss.
He was born and raised Quaker
and has always been a very devout
Christian all his life most all Of which
has been spent in the vicinity of Hard
in's Creek.
He has been a constant suffererifor
several years but bore his suffering
with patience, though he often spoke
of the beautiful home prepared for
him when his earthly work was
finished. The last few days of his
life was spent in earnest prayer for his
friends and loved ones.
We shall sadly miss him but we
know that our parting is not forever
so We sorrow not as those that have
no hope, for we expect that on the
great resurrection morn when this
mortal shall have put on immortality
and this corruption shall have put on
interruption, that We shall meet again
to part no more, and be an unbroken
family in our heavenly home. Then
we may say, 80, Death where Is thy
sting o, Grave where is thy victory"
Dear Father thou hast leftus
In this lonely world to roam.
But Jesus saw II best to take thee
To beaven, thy eternal home.
A precious one is gone
voice we loved is stlled
The vacant chair remains
Which never can be filled.
Jesus said. come unto me and rest"
For thy ifes work is past
Come up with the saints and blest,
And have an eternal home at last
Thy life's work is DER
Thy happiness is just begun,
Angels welcome thee to the golden shore
Where the Savior says well done"
Soon we will come thy soul to greet
Though far apart we stand
on the Heavenly shore we shall meet
In that pure and holy land.
AS time rolls on and years 60 by
We think of thee each day and night
Soon we too. shall lay our armour down
And soar in lands of pure delight.
Some sweet day bye and by,
Together we will always be,
Singing praises to Him on high
Through all eternity.
Then all our joys will be complete
when we gain that fair land
To forever walk the golden street
Joined with the Heavenly band.
The Lord thy keeper be
Through all time to come
Bis promises ars sure and free,
Besides all this Heavenly home.

CHAPTER XII.
Under Sentence Of Death.


At this late date l doubt greatly
II my situation at that time was so
desperate as | then conceived ii. |
question now whether the death sent
ence would ever have been executed.
But then, with the memory of Sher-
idan's rage and my own hotheaded
retort, | fully believed my fate was
destined to be that OF the condemned
spy, unless she who alone might tell
the whole truth should voluntarily do
so. That circumstances had left me
In the power of one whose fierce dis
like was already evident was beyond
question, and / had yielded to his
those In authority every excuse for the
exercise Of extreme military power.
Yet of one thing l was firmly re,
solved-no thoughtless word of mine
should ever endanger the reputation
OF Edith Brennan. Right or wrong, |
would go to a death of dishonor be-
fore would speak without her author
ity. Love and pride conspired to
make this decision adamant.
Come" said Cation, briefly, and I
turned and accompanied him without

door he ordered the little squad of
waiting soldiers to fall in, and taking
me by the arm, led the way down
the gravelled path to the road. / was
impressed by his seeming careless
ness, but as we cleared the gateway
he spoke. and his words helped me
to comprehend.
Captain Wayne" he said quietly, so
that the words could not be over
heard, you do not recognize me, but
was the officer who conducted you
to headquarters when you brought the
flag in at Wilson Creek. OF course
must perform the duty given me, but
l wish you to understand that l wholly
believe your word"
He stopped, extended his hand, and
l accepted 1t silently.
There must be some grave personal
reason which seals your lips?" he
questioned.
There is."
II thought as much. ! chanced TO
overhear the words, or rather a por-
tion OF them, which Brennan whis-
pered, and have no doubt IL they were
explained TO the General he would feel
more kindly disposed toward you"
1t was asked as a question, and l
felt obliged to reply. f
II appreciate deeply your desire TO
aid me, but there are circumstances
involving others which compel me for
the present to silence. Indeed my pos
sible fate does not so greatly trouble
me, only that ] possess strong de-

The young fellow stiffened slightly.

sides against him. He has been out

ly, they're coming from the west,
and / know they amt our fellows"
He was too old a soldier to have
his judgment doubted, and he was
evidently convinced. Brennan glanced
quickly about. However he may
have sneered at the report, he was
not rash enough TO chance so grave a
mistake.
Get back into those rocks there on
the right" he commanded sharply.
Hustle your prisoner along lively,
men, and one of you stand over him
with cooked gun. II he so much as
opens his mouth, let him have 1t"
Rapidly as We moved, we were
scarcely all under cover before the ad-
vance cavalry guard came in sight, the
light fringe Of troopers, dust-begrimed
and weary. resting heavily in their
saddles, and apparently thoughtless as
10 any possibility of meeting with the
enemy. There were not more than a
troop OF them all told, yet their short
gray jackets and wlde-brimmed light
hats instantly told the story of their
service. Their rear rank was yet in
