$4,000 FOR GIVING HELP
Chicago Women Left Fortune by Man
Whom They Aided as Tramp
Long Ago.

Chicago.-Word was received by
Mrs. Jennie Wolf and Miss Bessie Cor
don, sisters, that they had been be-
Queathed $4,000 by young man who,
i'll and hungry, knocked at their door
four years ago and asked for food.
William Pepper, son of a Prague
(B0hemia) art dealer, was the man
they befriended. He told Mrs. Wolf
and her sister he was too proud to let
his people know Of his condition. He
was given clothing, shelter and med
ical attention In 1911 he returned to
Bohemia, advising the sisters that
when he died he would remember
them in his will.'
The sisters were notified Of the be-
quest through Chicago attorneys com
missioned by an attorney in Prague to
find them.

DIR. LUTER AND FAMILY MOVE
TO JACKSON, TENN.

DR.. J. f. Luter and family left
this week to make their home in
jackson, Tenn, where he will be
associated with bis son, Clark, in
the drug business, having bought
one of the leading drug stores of
that city. No community ever
gave up better people than these.
DR.. Luter has been one Of the
leading physicians of the Delta
for 10 or 20 years, and while he
is not an old man yet, the long
rides and rough roads were not
the best for him after having un-
dergone two operations in the
last year or so. No physician or
man was ever held in higher es-
TEEN or loved more by both
white and black. and so it may be
said of his splendid wife and chill
dren.
While every one regretted very
much to see them 90, our best
wishes for their welfare and sue
cess in their new home 90 with
them. Minter City, Miss, Feb. 8,
