of Arthur S. Hibler, United States Inn
migrant inspector at New Orleans. On
Its way to Mexico, where it was OBJ
tained by its present owner, the coin
may have been carried as keepsake
BY one of the Spanish conquerors and
exchanged for the gold and jewels
of the Aztecs. Two thousand years
afford ample time to pass through a

a handkerchief, stained with his life

Mr.. CarOw was appointed a member
of the Local Board by Gov. Phillip
soon after war was declared. From
the first he gave to the work of the
Board his earnest attention. He was
present at nearly every meeting of the
Board at the sacrifice of his own bust
ness. The Rusk County Local Board
was one of seven boards in the state
out of 300 which did not ask for pay.
Often the work of the board required
that it's members devote half their
time to it for long periods. Being a
member of the Board, it is not my in
tentiOn to throw bouquets at 1T, but |
do want to say that Mr.. CarOw, one of

than he did as member of the Board.
