The people of Redmondville were
shocked to hear on Sunday morning
that one in their midst, James Howard
Akers, had killed himself by shooting
himself in the head with shot gun.
1t is supposed that domestic differ
ences was the cause. His son saw
him carry the gun into the yard and
tried to get it away from him, but he
angrily told the boy to let him alone
or he would give him load. The
boy lodged behind the smoke house
and in minute heard the gun shot.
He found his father lying dead in the
yard where he had sat down and
touched the trigger with his foot.
Mr.. Akers has lived nearly all his
fifty five years with us and the sudden
death caused quite a stir in the COM
munity. He leaves wife and eight
children. The interment was made
Monday in the Goodland Cemetery.

Farewell to Father Adrian.

Our little village of Arcadia was the
scene this afternoon of one of the
most pleasant gatherings witnessed
here in long time. 1t was the assem-
bling of the friends of Father John F.
Adrian to bid him good bye on his
leaving the Arcadia Valley, after ten
years. hard work among us. It would
be difficult to describe the scene in
writing as it appeared to those who
saw it, but we will tell it as best we
can.
AS it was known that Father Adrian
would leave at O'Clock, Father Wer-
merit and the members of the parish
arranged reception at $3.50 O'Clock
P. M. in the College Chapel; after the
services there, the congregation ad-
journed to Exhibition Hall in the Col
lege building, and the large number
present filled the spacious auditoriu m
to overlooking.
The Ursuline Sisters had arranged
musical programme, and in addition
there was music by the Ironton band.
Then, after few words by Father
Wernert and member of the parish,
we sprung our main surprise on Father
Adrian bySpresenting him a gift of
$315.00 in gold-a voluntary offering
from the friends of Father in the par
ishes of Arcadia Ironton, Pilot Knob,
Graniteville and Bismarck, many OF
the contributors not being parish
members. Father Adrian was visibly
affected and acknowledged his thanks
in his usual happy manner.
After more music we were all invit-
ed to go to the station to see Father
Adrian board his train; the band was
there and rendered some pleasing and
appropriate selections. The crowd
must have numbered between $50 and
300 people, and such a feeling of good
will, mixed with regret, as was mani
tested by the assembly, was very
touching, and more than one elderly
man was seen to brush away the un-
hidden tear.
There is no one in the valley
who does not know Father Adrian, [,
and so many of us know the ten years
OF hard work he has put in among us,
and when we say "hard work." we
mean "hard work. for Father Adrian
does not how to work any other way.
He has had very active part in the
building that has been done at the
College: witness the $50, 900 wing, the
$40, 900 chapel and other structures.
He has helped with our bank, the
granite quarry, the railroad demon
stration farm, and the good roads and
our picnics; and, in fact, everything
offered for the upbuilding of the val
ley. And in the departure of Father
Adrian the community at large has
suffered great loss. He was will
ling worker who labored without
price. And all this work has been
done in addition to his pastoral work,
which need not be mentioned, as it is
too we'll known to the parishes and
the members thereof.
We have not the gifted pen at our
command to eulogize Father Adrian,
but there is no need for it. We only
write these lines for the information
of those who were not present this
afternoon.
So, now we will close bv Offering
our thanks to all who were so kind az
to add to the gathering by their pres
ence, and to the Band of Ironton who
did so much to add pleasure to the oc.
oasion, and to all individual workers
who did so much to make the affair q
complete success.

GOOD NEWS.

Thereby.

"Good news travels FAST" and the
many bad back sufferers in Ironton
are glad to learn where relief may be
found. Many lame, weak and ach-
ing back is bad no more, thanks to
Doan's Kidney Pills. Our citizens are
telling the good news of their ex-
perience with this tested remedy
Here is an example worth reading:
Mrs. Nellie Rust, Ironton, says:
"0ne OF my family was in pretty bad
shape and suffered almost constantly
from backache, sometimes being
scarcely able to get about. The kid
ney secretlons were generally too
frequent In passage, particularly OF
night, and often painful. Doan's Kid
ney Pills, procured at the Arcadia
Valley Drug Co., stopped all that and
we have never been without them in
the house since.p

A delegation of county officials and

before Judge Dearing which Collector
Farris OF Reynolds county had insti-
tuted against Sheriff Parks. Circuit
Clerk Howell had Issued nineteen ex-
ecutions in delinquent tax suits and
the Collector, as the law says he can,
directed the Sheriff to place the ad-
vertisements of the notices of sale in
the Ellington Press. This the Sheriff
refused to do, and divided the mott ces
between the Centerville Outlook and
the Ellington Press. Then the Collec-
tor instituted mandamus proceedings.
After consulting with attorneys here
the suit was withdrawn. The manda-
mus proceedings, it is said, should
have been instituted by the printer in

this instance the contending parties
did not care to go to the expense nec-
essary to appearance in the Court of

FESSENDEN ACADEMY
1Wren v visitor who recently Board Public

I wish that every citizen of our
city and county could have been pres
ent with the members of the school
board that visited and inspected this
institution recently.
The institution was founded II
years ago and has been under Prof.
Joseph Wiley's guiding hand since
that time. Fessenden was begun in a
meager way and as it grew and dem
onstrated its worth and merit it was
backed by friends, A. NJ. A. and Ma
rion County School Board, who wise
" listened to the plans of Prof Wiley
and aided in the development of the
school, until today Fessenden stands
forth monument of industrial and
agricultural usefulness and uplift te
the Negro race, led only by the Tus-
keege Institute.
Prof. Wiley has surrounded himself

tenn the scholars marched in, the girls
on one side and the boys on the other,
the teachers overlooking.
With Mrs. Wiley at the piano the
program was opened with a sweet
song and chanting the Lords Prayer.
Prof. Wiley in a few terse well
spoken words told of the work and adj
vancement of the school and rendered
a hearty welcome to the visitors NAM
ed in the preceding portion of this
article.
Prof. Brinson as master of cere-
monies responded appropriately, first
presenting Mr.. Geo. Bitch, who gave
a short excellent talk filed with good
advice and encouragement. His talk
was followed by a few remarks by
The Ocala evening star. [volume] (Ocala, Fla.) 1895-1943, 1915-04-10


excellent manner summed up the
whole, telling them that at his re-
cent visit with many others to the
noted Tuskeege Institute, he was
proud to tell them of Fessenden and
what it was and what it stood for,
and that while not so large or vast,
yet its high policy and clean manage
ment placed it in the same sphere of
usefulness and wishing that Marion
county had, out away from town or
city, such an industrial, agricultural
and domestic science school for the
whole county.
Think of it, the Negro children of

Mr.. Grantham, who evidenced his
pride as a member Of the school
board in the work being done at this
school. Then before he could be pre-
scented Mr.. Scott made an impressive
short talk followed by Secretary
Rooney who spoke on one of the most
important features of the history of
the institution which he had learned
from Prof Wiley, who on April both,
would be at Fessenden II years and
during all that period no case of i'm
morality had ever occurred on the
campus He followed up this topic

with strong words of encouragement
to each student to follow honesty in
life and in all their dealings-at
home, with each other, their teachers,
and themselves. An eulogy on the
cleanliness and sanitary conditions
found, the excellent discipline, atten-
tiveness, behavior of the student body
and closing with the thought of what
goes to make up useful lives, good cit
liens and pointing them to that great
source from which all right living and
ending comes, to never go back on or
bring reproach, or disgrace to their

teacher, or teachers, is required in
each building to keep the best of dis
cipline and overlooking the thorough
cleaning of every room. A lesson to
every visitor is that each room shows
good healthy conditions along decent
lines, portraying that Prof. Wiley is a
good disciplinarian, that there is a
motive behind every department.
