Attorneys at Shreveport.

The two newest lawyers in Shreveport
are Richard W. Norton and Chales F.
Crane. They are expected to be admit.
ted to the bar real soon, for both have
stood the necessary examinations before
the local bar committee and the Supreme
Court. The latter exam" wa given
them Monday in New Orleans, and re-
ports from there state that they made
splendid showing, for which they are
being warmly congratulated by their
friends.
These young men will be welcome
additions to the local legal fraternity.
Both are young men, quite ambitious,
and are well liked, and success in the
profession they have chosen is predicted
by their friends.
Ar. Crane for several years was in the
newspaper business here, having been
idcntifiedwith the reportorial department
OF The Journal and the Times. A few
months ago he accepted position as
deputy district clerk, which he now
holds.
Mr.. Norton is the city auditor, which
position he was given after the resigna-
ton of 7. H. Thurmond some months
ago. Prior thereto he was connected
With the office of Hall & Jack, attorneys.
Messrs. Crane and Norton have re-
turned from New Orleans and are having
their hands shaken literally upon their
success after hard study.
Mr.. Norton is a native Of Obion
County, but moved with his parents to
Waco, Tex, about fifteen years ago in
which State he has made his home until
three years ago when he located at
Shreveport, La. His father, w. H.
Norton, served the public in this locality |
for a numbers Of years in the capacity |
Of teacher, both in public and private
schools. His grandfather, the late Rev.
r. W. Norton, is remembered here as
teacher and as twice pastor Of the Baptist
Church in Union City His mother
was Miss Corinne Miles, daughter Of
the late DR.. G. S. Miles, prominent
and widely known physician Of Fulton

T. r. Boxley and M. Tulloss, of this
city, have entered into partnership and
have been awarded the contract for
cleaning and disinfecting the private
premises at Jackson. Tenn. that por-
ton Of the city not connected with the
sewerage. Mr. Boxley has had charge
of the work in Union City for the past
two years and has given us very clean
city, and the system has made re-
markable change here. 1t was adopt
ed before we began to put in sewerage,
but it is now intended to benefit those
who are not able to put in connections
at once. The same reasons prevail at
jackson. In fact Jackson's sewerage
system does not reach all parts of that
city. II is one Of the finest systems in
use anywhere, especially in towns with
out sewerage, and pity it is that we did
not have it years ago. Mr.. Boxley has
made success of the work and will
also give Jackson good service. Mr..
Tulloss will be located at Jackson in
personal charge, while Mr.. Boxley will
remain in Union City and personally
direct the work here.

No Opposition.

It is understood that Judge F. w.
Moore, Of this city, is now the only
Democratic candidate in the field for
the vacancy on the bench Of the Ten
nessee Court Of Civil Appeals. It was
thought for time that Judge Moore
would be opposed for the nomination
by Hon. J. d. Senter, OF Humboldt,
but that gentleman has assured Judge
Moore that he would not be in the race,
and that his support would be most
cordially given to the Judge. Judge
Moore is candidate to fill the vacancy
on the bench caused by the death OF
Judge Taylor, and which has been fill
ed by appointment by Judge Cate until
the regular election. Judge Cate is a
Republican, and the Democrats OF Ten
nessee feel that Democrat should take
the place, not only d Democrat, but
man from West Tennessee to succeed
Judge Taylor who was elected as the
West Tennessee Judge, Judge Moore
served on the bench for a short term
and his record is Of the highest order.
He has the ripest legal training and
experience and is recognized as the peer
of the best judicial minds in the State
Judge Moore is home man, Of
course, and we naturally fell inclined
to give him our cordial support, but be
has always taken front rank in legal
procedure and has been engaged in
some Of the most important litigation
Of the State. Judge Moore is especially
fitted for the bench ii every possible
way and the prospects are now that be
will be elected by a very fiattering ma
iority.

Whale Lives for a Thousand Years

Undoubtedly the longest-lived ami
NAL IS the whale, its span Of
Xistence being estimated by Cuvier at
.OoO years. The next largest animal,
the elephant, will. under favorable
conditions. live 400 years.
When Alexander the Great con
quered Porus. King Of India, he took a
great elephant that had fought gal
family for the defeated king, narued
him Ajax. dedicated him to the sun
and placed upon MIN a metal band
with The inscription. Alexander the
son of Jupiter. dedicated AJAX TO the
sun The elephant was found alive
$50 years later.

comparatively long lived, instances
having beer recorded where they
reached the age of 20 years.
Pigs have been known to live TO the
age of 90 years, and horses to so. but
the average age of the horse Is % 10

TO MAKE MANY

Officers Below Rank of Major
Must be With Commands

Washington, Sept 25.-About 20 per
cent of the officers Of the army pelow
the rank of major. now on detached
service. will be sent back to their COM
pan'es. under the Interpretation which
the legal authorities of the depart

governing detached service.
This will necessitate sn expenditure
Of about 100000 OF government funds
for transportation OF officers to their
new stations. and the officers them
selves win have to stana an even
heavier expense on this account.
This switching about is the result
of provision in the last army bin
To- the effect tina, all officers below

With little probability Of such a
