MIR. ED HOOD.

On yesterday afternoon We were greatly grieved by the sorrowful tid- ing of the death of the subject of this sketch. That he was one of the most popular men who ever lived in this County was attested by his long ser vice as Sheriff. For six terms he was elected to that responsible office. Never in the history of the County has any other man been so often chosen for any county office by the people. From early manhood he took an active part in political contests. He was al ways good fighter, but neither friend nor foe ever questioned his loyalty. He had many political opponents, but he had no personal enemies. He per formed well all the tasks allotted in this life. He was honest in public and private life. Yes, he was more than honest, he was just. Many an honest man is yet unjust.
 Justice in public life is rarer than honesty. Honest hlmSelf he was just enough to concede honesty of purpose Having lived honestly, justly and kind ly, his soul answered the sudden sum- mons of the Creator without fear; and his friends cherish his memory and trustfully hope that in higher and better existence his noble spirit may triumph in achievements far be- yond the reach of earthly existence. "We know that moons shall wane, And summers birds from far shall
 cross the sea;
 But who shall tell us when to look
 for death.'
 Firm in his friendships, just to his opponents, loyal to his county, di- ligent in the discharge of his public duties, the end of his life is fittingly

On account of the absence of many of our citizens from the city this after noon, the meeting which was to have been held at the court house this even- ing has been postponed until tomor- row afternoon. Be there at two o'clock and discuss the road improve ment district for Missouri township.
 Of course it is all right to borrow your neighbours paper once in awhile. But continuous practice of this will make them say something about you. When you consider the price, then the time and trouble you and your neighbor have, it would be far better for everyone to have it de- livered at their homes. Last week a lady living several miles from Prescott wanted to know when Dr. Bernays. the optician would be in Prescott. She phoned to one of our business houses and was informed that he would be here Wednesday and Thursday and be- fore she learned that it was Wednes- day and Thursday of this week, hung up her receiver. She came to town last week-the roads were bad too Either of our publications would have given her the desired information and saved her very disagreeable trip over the muddy roads.

A Baton Rouge special says: A check
of the lumber now lying in yards of lumber
companies in St. James Parish, conducted
by the Supervisor of Public Accounts and
his assistants, will result in bringing in
$4,000 in additional taxes to the State
Treasury. The check was made as a result
of the attack made on the sheriff of St.
James during the summer by residents OF
the parish for his failure to place lumber
belonging to the big lumber companies on
the assessment rolls. The companies af-
fected have been ordered to pay the amount
of the delinquences.
