He came from a worthy and sturdy pioneer father and mother, who were among and in the front rank of thaI class of men aud women who built the enviable record of Hampstead for all that is good and enobling in civic and material progress.
 In early life he engaged in eommer- cial pursuits principally and in the conduct of his business was noted for his unwavering integrity and fairness. IE aaeass Gel Jet. ct. came te Polk County and made his residence at Wickes, at which place, up to his death, which occurred at his home on the 25rd day of April. 1920. he was engaged in com mercial pursuits
 in disposition he was kind and sym pathetic. His memory is indellibly written in the hearts of the poor and humble with whom be came ir con tact. No one who was needy was ever turned away empty handed. His char fly and kindness was without ostenta. tion and sprang from heartfelt sym pathy for those who suffered. He was n Democrat-rock-ribb and unfalter- lng in his devotion to principles of his party. at all times willing to give his time and means to promote its sue cess.
 As the presiding officer of this com- mittee he was fair. courteous and eff csent. As a friend and neighbor those who knew aim most intimately loved and appreciated him best.

We the Committee appointed herein and as members of the Democratic Central Committee Do resolve that in the death of Col. Jett we have sustained a great loss almost lrreparable to this Committee and to his party in this County.

 We tender to his bereaved family our warmest sympathies.
 That these resolutions be spread upon the minutes of Re proceedings of the Democratic Central Committee of Polk County aud that the same be published and that a copy be furnished to the widow and family of the de- ceased.
