Faithful Servant Dead

Riggs, = is dead, having lived
26 years. Riggs" was a mule
owned by C. C. Graham, near
Selmer. This mule was the de-
light for many years of all the
youngsters for she was gentle
and even-tempered, and we boys
were always good for a ride on
her back.
This mule was ridden by fellows
who enjoyed oX-hunting. and
she was never more contented
than when on a chase.
We don't know a great deal
about writing a mule obituary, !"
but the death of old Riggs is a
source of genuine sadness to all
who knew" her. Her death
was due to getting into a quag-
mire, from which she could not
extricate herself, and the recent
heavy rains drowned this faith
full old servant.

Judge John E. Mccall died at
the home of his daughter, Mrs.
Marshal Priest, in Huntingdon,
Sunday night at $50 O'Clock.
Death was due to an attack of
acute gastritis, and he lived only
80 minutes after the attack. He
was visiting his daughter, and
his health was apparently good,
and of course his sudden death
came as a shock.
Judge Mccall was one of the
best known citizens of the state
before he was appointed Federal
Judge by President Roosevelt in
1905.
He began his illustrious career
in Henderson County, which coun-
ty he represented in the Legisla-
ture in 1887. He was the repub-
lican nominee for attorney gen.
eral of this district and was de-
feated by very small majority
by Hon. James M. Porterfield.
He was elected a member of Con-
gress from the 9Th district in
1895, defeating the Hon. B. A.
Enloe, and, served with distinc-
ton in that capacity.
He was the republican NOM
inee for Governor in 1900 and
though defeated, his friends were
proud of the race he made against
his distinguished opponent. He
was appointed Collector of Inter
nal Revenue for Tennessee in
1902, and upon the death of Judge
E. S. Hammond. he was elevated
to the position Of Federal Judge
for the Western District of Ten
nessee, which position he filled
with honor till his death.
He was a great citizen, and a
great judge. In the administra-
ton of justice and in the enforce
ment of the law, he set an ex-
ample worthy to be emulated by
his successor and by all judges
who are charged with the admin
istration of the law in these
troubulous times of unrest and
disregard for the law.

and various other occupations and
vocations of life were represent
ed. Nothing occurred to mar the
pleasure of the occasion.
At 2 p. M, the vast throng was
magnificiently entertained by
some strong speeches by the
Hons. Henry Bell Lewis and
Terry Alternately. The crowd
assumed a position like unto an
army deployed for battle, the
center being commanded by Gen.
G. F. Dickey, the author and
ffnisher of barbecues; the left
wing rested on the M. 60. R R.,
and was commanded by one Bob
Carter, while the right wing
bivouaced at the cemetery and
was, guarded; by Hon. Tom Fowl
er. The weather was fine, a
compromise having been effected
by G F. Dickey and 10. 10.
All come next year.
