Death of Miss Mary Aull.

Death Of Miss Mary Aull.
The sad announcement of the
death of Miss Mary Aull, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Aull,
Sr., was received Sunday morn
ing, the end coming the night be-
fore at $50 o o'clock at the home
Of her parents, 1706 Main St.
Miss Aull had been in poor health
for more than two years, but on
y during the past few weeks had
her condition changed for the
worse, and only since noon of
Saturday had her illness indicat-
ed that the end was near.
Mary Aull was born in Lex
ington, April 8, 1892. She ac-
quired primary and second
ary education in the schools of
this city. AT an early age she
evinced & talent for music and
chose the violin for study and
the development of her musical
abilities, The progress she had
made justified her choice,
and only the limitation of her
strength prevented her from at
tanning a high place among the
artists On this difficult instru-
ment. She was a pupil Of Prof.
Ralph Wylie and went to Los
Angeles, where she gave her first
recital in December, 1911. Dur
ing the preparation for her sec
ond public appearance in Jan
uary, 1912, began her invalidism.
Hope was never abandoned of
her ultimate recovery until a
few hours before her death.
Miss Mary was of a type that
gave to life a full and sweet ex-
preston of charm and beauty.
She was gentle and refined, nobl
in character, an honor to girl
hood and a credit to the cOmmun.
ity in which she moved. Her man
ner was unobtrusive, and gently
and graciously she met the af.
fairs of life. Her many girlhood
friends, friends Of the family
neighbors and all who knew her
mourn with the bereaved par.
ents, brothers and sisters, at the
death of one yet in the morning
of life.
Besides her parents, she II
survived by three brothers anC
two sisters, VIM. Aull, Jr, Johr
and George, Mrs. j. NJ. Langs
dale, Jr., of Kansas City, anC
Miss Percy, of this city.
The funeral services conduct
ed by Rev. S. 0. Hall, were helC
from the home Tuesday mOrninl
at 10 o'clock. Burial was il

James Shier was relieved Mon
day night by the city council as
special health officer. His work,
it would appear, was a little too
strenuous for the comfort and
convenience of the public. How
ever, Mr.. Shier did a might lot
of good, which the other city Of
ficers might do well to emulate.
This matter of cleaning-up is
considered more or less a joke
by too many of Lexington's pop
ulation, and only by persistent
persuasion can the officers hope
to make any progress in making
this city a spotleSs town.

DR.. FULKERSON
PASSES AWAY.
Death Came at 2:50 O'clock Sat-
urday Morning of Paralysis,

Jhe mOSI Wluely hlIOWu pHySi-
clans in Missouri, died Saturday
morning at 2;50 O'Clock at his
home On Washington street, af-
ter an illness of several weeks of
paralysis.
Dr.. Fnlkerson was the son of
Jacob V. and Catherine Ewing
Fulkerson, and was born in Lee
county, Virginia, October 3,
1849. His parents were among
the old Virginia families whose
deeds are the brightest ever
chronicled in the history of this
or any other country. DR.. Full
kerson was a self-made man in
its truest sense. His early life
was spent on a plantation in his
native state. When only fifteen
years of age he espoused the
cause of the south and enlisted
in the Confederate army and
served until the close of the war.
After the war he entered the st.
Louis Medical College, from
which institution he graduated in
1875. He first began practicing
at Oak Grove, and remained
there seven years. He then
moved. to Higginsville, where he
lived until 1901. AT this time
he was elected county collector
of Lafayette county and served
two terms. In 1906 he began
the practice of his profession in
Lexington.
In April, 1898, when the Span
ish American war broke out, DR..
Fulkerson recruited Company X,
Fifth Regiment Missouri Volun-
teers. He was elected Captain of
this company and mustered into
service at jefferson Barracks, ST.
Louis. His regiment was sent to
the camp at Chickamauga, Geor-
gia, and afterwards to Lexing-
ton, Kentucky. His company
was mustered out at Kansas City
IN November, 1898.
DR.. Fulkerson was a member
of the County, State and Nation
al Medical societies. OF the fra
ternal orders, he was member
of the Masons, Elks and Wood
men of the World
DR.. Fulkerson s life was a mos
eventful one. In professional
way he was closely associated
with people in all walks Of life
He carried his skill into the most
lowly novels with the same care
and cOnscientiousness that charac
terized his work among the riet
and in the most palatial homes 0
the country. He knew no Greco
or class where medical aid was
sought, and none We're turned
away no matter how great thu
sacrifice; no matter whether n
7fthe home Of the rich or poor, hc
gave their case the same careful
attention.
In politics, DR.. FulkersOn wa
a uncomprOmising democrat. N,
one had to doubt his position OF
any public question. His advic,
and counsel were freely sough
by the members of his party. A
chairman of the Democratic coul
ty committee, as Presidential
elector, as county collector, h
gave the work in hand the sam
earefitl attention that had char
