HANCOCK COUNTY ON
FINAL PHASE Of TICK
ERADICATION WORK.

Hancock County has now entered on
one of the final phases OF its campaign
against the cattle tick Effective Sep
tember 1st, ali herds which contain
ticky cattle will be placed under local
quarantine in order to localize the in
tested area and prevent reiniestation of
the free cattle.
The local vat inspectors will serve
the quarantine notice on the ticky
herds and the ticks removed from
same will be turned over to DR.. Gull
foyle so that their identity as Texas
fever ticks may De definitely established.
AS measure to prevent the possible
dissemination of ticks, all movements of
cattle across the County line or between
points within the County will be pro-
hibited unless accompanied by permit
signed by cne of the vat inspectors.
Notices to this effect have been posted
throughout the County.
The fact that there were but 12 ticky
herds in the County in the later part of
August indicates that the number of
quarantined herGs will be very small
and illustrates the thoroughness with
which the dipping has been conducted
during the year.
While knowledge of the life history
and habits of the ticks precludes the
assumption that they have been entirely
eradicated at this time, continuance
of the present rate of progress will see
Hancock County tick free in 1918, and
in position to receive her full share of
the prosperity which the next few years
will bring, when the Southern States
will be the greatest beef producing
section of the nation.

Death of Mrs. Mary Fountain.

Mrs. Mary Fountain, the venerable
mother of DR.. j. Q. Fountain, of this
city, died at her home at Logtown Sat-
urday night as result of an illness of
the grippe, aged so years.
Grandma Fountain, as shs was affec-
tionately called and referred to by all
who knew her in and aroaa -ogtown,
was ore of the best known WON n of the
Pearl river section of Hancock county,
and the news of her demise was the oc-
casion of the expression of genuine
sorrow. Nature had endowed her with
a sunshiny disposition and all who knew
genial spirit. Despite her advanced
age, Grandma Fountain was alive and
alert to every impulse with those around
her and with those she came in contact
with. Possessed of every faculty, she
was keenly alive to every sense and il
was ever delight to be in her COM
pany, thus her departure will be felt all
the more and the absence of her presence
keenly felt and regretted even though
she had long since passed the biblical
allotment of years.
Mrs. Mary Fountain was native OF
| Lawrence county, Georgia, and had
been a resident of Columbia, in Marion
county, and in later years of Pearling-
ton, then Logtown for many years.
She was an active church worker and
had been a member Of the Baptist
church for 60 years.
| The immediate relatives that survive
| her are Or. Fountain, Mr.. Noah w.
Fountain, Mr.. G.. w. Fountain and a
| daughter, Mrs. T. Fortenberry. Dr.
! Fountain was notified by wire of the
death of his mother and at once left
Fort Oglethorpe, Ga, near Chattanooga,
| Tenn, where as ist Lieut.. he is in the
army, an active member of the medical
corps, but reached here too late to at
tend the funeral. He was unusually
devoted to his mother and FASTENED
homeward with all possible speed.
| 1t is with deep regret the Echo
chronicles the death of this excellent
| woman, which indeed is distinct loss
to the county, to the town in which
she lived. to :he people Of the commun-
ity she loved so we'll and an irreparable
| loss to the hearts of those who were
nearest and who loved and knew her
best. With these we sincerely syulpa-
thize.
A noble hearted woman and work
er in the cause of all that is good and
just has gone to her reward to enjoy
the fruits of a long, earnest ana useful
life.
