OBITUARY
SAMUEL. ]. HENDERSON

Samuel j. Henderson died at his
home in northwestern part of Greene
County Miss. May 10, 1917. He
was SO yrs. 6 mos. and IL days Of
age. Grandfather had been an inva-
lid for several years, but was more
seriously attacked by paralysis about
two weeks before his death.
The deceased leaves a wife, nine
children, forty-four grandchildren,
and host of relatives and friends to
mourn his death. II seems heart
rending to part with one SO dear to
Us, but it is great consolation to
think that some day we will meet to
part no more.
Grandfather has been member Of
the Missionary Baptist Church ever
since early manhood. 1t seems that
he lived christian life, and he did
what he could to upllft christianity.
Every one who knew him thought
well OF him for his kindness and
christian acts He has only paid
the debt which we all owe So we
should not weep, but prepare our
selves TO answer the same call which
will come soon, OF late to all of
as.

Sunday afternoon while out walk
ing near the Figer bridge Dr. Sam
Poo, and Mr.. and Mrs, Geo. B Nc
Rae aecosted and huusted We editor
and wife in for drive down to Yer
nal where they were going on call
by DIR. Sam Pool on Mrs Jones down
there who is n an almost dying con
d ION from pc a gr a.
We were especially glad Of this
ride down there as we had never
yet gotten TO go BY Vernal Consoli
dated school house, both of which
buildings loom up fine down in those
open clearings Respondent in their
coats of white paint. and both roomy
and well built and beautiful ia their
outlines as you approach them. We
passed the dwelling OF our good
friend W. w. Mcleod, and saw aud
greeted him aud his good lady upon
their gallery. They have a honey
looking place. well arranged and
those flowers in different groups ID
the front yard makes it look mighty
attractive. TIE post-office is loea-
ted in their yard. So guess that would
be counted the heart OF VernaI
CLYDE McI4end happened to be at the
church house Wien We dropped by
there and took iook in, and he went
with us down to the school house be-
ing about the best hand we could
have found to explain to us about il
as be taught the school the term just
expired. Green Masonic Ledge oc-
cupies the upper floor and has not
quite finished the eeiing, otherwise
they have school building down
there which is we'll fitted up and a
credit TO any community OF that
size. AS much if not more can be
said of the new Presbyterian church.
It's about as large country church
house as you usually run across and
we'll finished up inside and out and
furnished with comfortable bought
pews and choir and pulpit chairs etc.

CREDIT NOTICE

An examination of our books dur. ing the past few months discloses where we have extended credit over the 90 day period the old accounts remain on our books. Accounts which grow so large that no busi. ness based upon fair dealing and reasonable profit can carry the bur. len. Therefore, it has been decid ed on and after May 1, 1917, all patrons of this firm-without excep tion-wiI not be extended credit when an old account extending be. yong 30 days remains on our books We desire to impress upon our customers that the constantly in. creasing cost of living is further ad vanced by careless credits adding to the dealers yearly overhead, and it
 is with view of keeping prices to the lowest limit, promoting honesty and fair dealing that this action Is taken.

 BECOMES IDENTIFIED WITH
 A JUNEAU BUSINESS HOUSE

During the past two months he has had the office force of the H. j. Raymond Go. busy listing ae- counts. He finds that many people of Juneau and the surrounding camps have received favors and credit from the company for which they have not paid, to whom he takes this means of informing that such such accounts are costing the com pany regular banking interests. We are asking those who are indebted to US to come forward and pay us in the right way so that we can pay and all be right. Wholesalers are now demanding in no uncertain terms that their accounts be settled. MT. Wm. Geddes is an authorized collector for the company and will be in many places outside of Juneau during the summer. Please do not wait for collector. Everybody knows what is right and should act accordingly. Old-time credit GUS toms are rapidly changing on the Pacific Coast. Wholesalers will soon force all retailers to practically cash basis.

LIBRARY AFFAIRS
 BEFORE COUNCIL;
 WOMEN TO DIRECT
Ten Are Appointed To Have Charge of City Institution-Two 0rdi- nances Are Passed-Mayor and Councilman Lock Horns Again Over Police Chief

Discussion of the future of the Juneau Public Library took up the greater part of last nights meeting of the city council. It was proposed to move the Library into the City Hall building. occupying the two south rooms formerly occupied by the high school Chief Sim Freiman appeared and asked that the council fix them up as kitchen and dining room for a firemcn's mess. He point ed out that the firemen will have eight men living in the city hall and that as they are all single men it will be cheaper for the men and will keep them closer to headquart- CTS to allow them to form mess Councilman Morgan and Sorby were appointed as a committee of two to investigate the question of quarters for the library.
 A Library Board, consisting of ten of the ladies of the town was ap- pointed by the Council to take charge of the administration of the affairs of that institution. Those appointed were the Mesdames E. M Behrends, II. C. DeVighne. H. J. Fisher A. P. Kashevaroff, Guy McNaughton, Frank Metcalf, H. R. Shepard, H. H. Town send, J. T. Walsh. and J. R. Willis.
 New walks were ordered on Fifth Street between Franklin and Gold in front of the Spickett Apartments, steps to the Davis houses, walk on Fourth from Gold to Harris and up Harris to Fifth.
 To Drop Forestry Case
 Councilmen Miller and Raymond were appointed a committee to as certain from the other towns of the First Division whether they wished the appeal case over the Forest ser vice money pushed in the Circuit Court. The Juneau council is of the opinion that the case should be dropped.
 Councilman Blomgren. of the Fi nance committee stated that the bud get for the school board has already been received and that one for the city will be prepared at once.
 New Ordinance Passed
 The proposed ordinances, one amending an existing one to the ef feet that the committees of the city shall consist of Councilmen only and that the Mayor shall not be member of the committees. and the other providing that the city council may from, lime to lime fix the conn pensation of city officials by resolu- tion were both put to second read ing, third reading waived and they were passed.
 The question of pay checks came up as Mayor Valentine has refused to sign that of Chief of Police Hard ing and City Clerk Petit. The May or contends that Chief Harding has but II days pay coming as he was not working for the city from the time the Mayor declared the office vacant to the time he was reelected by the council. The council holds that Harding was the chief of po- lice the entire time and entitled to his pay.
 The veto of Mayor Valentine on the action of the council in electing w. S. Harding chief of police was overruled
 The city clerk reported the cash on hand as $13,67997. after the bills which were approved last night had been deducted.
