Obituary.

Robert Lee, son of J. A. and Mrs. N.
j. Fullerton, was born Oct. IL, 1872, in
Dyersburg, Tenn, and died March 26,
1912, in Selma, La, 80 years, 5 months
and 9 days marking the time of his
earthly pilgrimage.
Early in 1888 he moved with his pa
rents to Louisiana. The family spent a
few years in Lincoln, Bisnville and
VIM parishes, but FOR nearly twenty
years Grant parish has been their home.
On the first Of October, 1859, Robert
Lee was married to Miss Flora Belle
Stroud. To them were born five chill
dren, four of whom still live. Bob Full
lerton, as he was fam iliarly called, was
quiet, unassuming man. No one came
nearer commanding the respect Of all
than he. He was an honest, upright,
straightforward gentleman, true citi-
zen and loyal constituent of his coun-
try. He was member Of the local
board of the Selma school, and support
ed the school not only by his patronage,
but never question came up concern
ing its interest that found him wanting.
In his home with his family, where
most of his time was spent when not al
work, he was the personifi c a ii or
of kindness. His children never heart
harsh words and his wife never saw hin
out of humor. Just why one so usefu
to his community and so much needed
by his family should be SO suddenly ant
so ruthlessly torn away from us is 1
question we dare not debate; but We
would remember that death is no res
pecter of persons, and that ''even il
the midst Of life we are in DEATH i
may be that our God who loves US S,
much wants to teach us through thi'
great sorrow how to appreciate ant
comprehend more fully the suiferings o.
our blessed SAVIOR for US.
On the day following his death hi
baby was laid to rest in the George

With the wife, four children, mother,

sympathy in this great loss.
We hope that his slumbers will be
peaceful and his waking happy.

 SEASON ON LINEUP

Boston Dec. 5.-President James R. NfcAleer Of the Boston League Club re- turned to Boston Sunday from New York, where he had been on a short visit with Mrs. McAleer. Wednesday he was at his downtown office, wading through 8 lot of business, which he hoped to have cleared up before next Monday when he will start for Chfca- go to attend the annual meeting of the league.
 For several years the National Lea que and the American League have held their meetings in New fork the same week but this year they split
 Asked if he had any trades in view when the Inagnates gather in the Win dy City, President McAleer said:
 "I am ready for trade or purchase any time where I can see a chance to strengthen the team by making a change. Just now, however, there is nothing in sight, so far as can see. that would help us. And if there were, whoever holds it needs it him. self, probably more than we do we have a great team as it stands. and if anybody hasSbetter men than we have, you may safely bet that he Is going to hang on to them" When asked about the talk preva- lent some time ago that tBuck's OBrien was to be sold or traded to the Chicago White Sox, President McAleer said there was no foundation for the report and that it was in line with ago to the effect that he contemplat- ed the selling or trading of Iris Speaker.
 Judging by what he said MT. Me Aleer thinks pretty well of Buck and believes that he is one of the great pitchers of the league.
 The Red Sox, the president said, wifi go to Hot Springs, Ark, early in March, although some of the older men undoubtedly will go there in Feb ruary; not to work but simply to rus- ticate and take the baths.
 i Preliminary arrangements for the spring trip are being made by Secre- | tary McRoy, who is at Hot Springs and will not return to Boston until after the annual meeting in Chicago. The execution of the plans, Presi- denk McA1eer said, will be left entirely to Manager Stahl. who probably will be one of those who will go to Hot Springs in February.
