Pittsfield Mans Case

The report of John r. Mason as spe-
cial master in chancery sitting in the
case of Frank M Fogg of Pittsfield,
against whom petition in involuntary
bankruptcy was filed in the United
States district court in Bangor, has
been filed with the court here. MI
merous hearings were held by the spe-
cial master and there was a determin-
ed legal fight on the part of the attor-
neys representing the different par
ties concerned. G.. w. Heselton appears
as attorney for Mr.. Fogg and Edgar
NJ. Simpson, Charles w. Hayes of Fox
croft. j. S. Williams of Guilford
George M. Morse of Bangor, Maurice
Rosen of Portland and +. j. Conquest
of Bangor represented the creditors
In Mr. Fogg's answer to the petition
for Involuntary bankruptcy, as filed in
court. he maintained that on June 30
he made an assignment to j. f. Clarity
of Bangor on inducements and prom
ses made by the latter and claimed
that the assignment to Mr.. Clarity
does not constitute the commission OF
an act of bankruptcy because the in
strument was obtained from him by
promises and inducements as stated.
The special master in chancery de-
cides that it appears that Mr.. Fogg de
cided to assign before he had discussed
the matter with Mr.. Clarity, that the
proposal to assign did not come from
Mr.. Clarity: that the assignment was
not obtained by fraud, and recommends
that the petition of the creditors for
proceedings in involuntary bankruptcy
be granted-Bangor News Dec. ID.

Solving the Christmas Problem

Here is the real idea! Send the
Independent-Rep to your friends
and relatives as Christmas Gift
Nothing you could give would please
more or last longer. $3.50 will pay
for one year, or rs cents for six months
and so cents for three months. While
you are about it, you had better send
a half dozen or more subscriptions,
and make all those friends happy for
the whole year. OF course, each
one of them will receive a beautiful
Christmas card saying, THE indie
pendent-Reporter is sent with your

He was looking forward to this time
as a very desirable change that would
give him opportunity to be more at

JOHN BACHELORS DEATH.

Owing to the fact that no paper
was issued Christmas week and the
Editors illness last week, The Senti-
mel failed to note the death of Mr..
John Bachelor which occurred on the
morning of Dec. 26. of pneumonia.
Interment was had the next day at
the cemetery beyond the depot. Rev.
W w. Woodland, pastor of the Meth
odist Church, conducted the funeral
services. The minister. among many
beautiful things, said he had known
him but few days but that he had
come intimately enough in touch with
him to feel and know that the spirit
of the departed was in the New Je-
rusalem. John Bachelor was CT
years of age. He had led the life
principally of fisherman but was lk-
ed by everybody and was never
known to do anybody an unkindness.
He was a member of the Methodist
Church and a regular attendant at
Sunday School. He is survived by
a brother, Rube, and one sister, Mrs.
Langford to whom coincidence is Of
fered.

Newsom-Cavett.

Mr.. j. c. Cavett announces the en-
gagement of his daughter, Mary Et-

of Grenada, the wedding to take
place early during the month.
Miss Cavett is the youngest of the
four lovely daughters of Mr.. Cavett,
and her many friends here will re-
gret that her marriage is to take her
from her home town. She was grad
uated with high rank from the Jack
son High School, and later from Mill
saps, and has been a successful teach
er, part of the time in the science
department of the city high school.

Congratulations to Miss Mitchell.

The writer congratulates Miss Hen
riattta Mitchell of Jackson on her
UNANIMOUS election as post mistress of
the lower house of the legislature.
She is a highly accomplished lady
and will make the best postmistress
that has served the legislature in
years. She is a daughter of DR.. T.
]. Mitchell who was so long at the
head of The State Insane Hospital
and the splendid services Of her Ia
mented father entitle her to special
recognition.
The Sentinel regrets that our Miss
Mary Meek Baker, daughter of Mr..
w. R. Baker of this County, did not
succeed in her ambition to be post
mistress of the Senate. She is fine
young lady and is highly accomplished
and would do well any task she un-
dertook. Considering that she is a
novice in the game Of politics and
managed her campaign without any
outside assistance, she did admirably
and made a splendid showing.

MRS. w. 3. WINTER DIED SUN
DAY

Mrs w. B. Winter, wife of w 3.
Winter and mother of Hon. w. A.
Winter, died at the family home,
twelve miles east of Grenada, last
Sunday morning and her remains
were brought to Grenada and laid TO
rest in Odd Fellows cemetery the
next day after the funeral services
which were conducted by Rev. J. r.
Cunningham.
Mrs. Winter was near 70 years of
age and had been practically an in
valid for fifteen years or more. She
bore her suffering uncomplainingly
and with that fortitude ever shown
by true Christian characters. Mrs.
Winters maiden name was Fisher
and she possessed brilliant mind.
Up to the time of the affliction she
was active in all her household duties
and the care and welfare of her home
was her first concern. She died
trusting in the riches of Risen
Lord and on some bright day in the
future may her bereft husband and
sorrowing son meet her in that New
Jerusalem. Mrs. Winter is also sur
vived by one sister, Mrs. S. F.
Bridgers, wife of A. L. Bridgers de-
ceased. :
The Sentinel offers coincidence to
the bereft.

A BRIEF SKETCH OF OFFICERS
AND DEPUTIES
OATHS ADMINISTERED TO NEW AND REELECTED LIST
OF SUPERVISORS

Last Monday, being the first Mon
day in January, was a day set apart
by law for the installation of new
county and beat officers, and the re-
swearing in of old officers reelected,
throughout the state.
Grenada county's new sheriff, Mr..
David w. Beck is perhaps the oldest
man ever elected to the office Of
sheriff in the county. He has had a
somewhat varied official experience,
having been Justice of the peace for
several terms, circuit clerk of the
county, marshal of the City of Gre
NADIA and two terms as Deputy sher-
iff. Mr.. Beck intends to be fair and
just to all and has fine, discrimi-
mating sspse of justice. He will nev-
er knowingly oppress anybody as
sheriff. 1t will be his aim to see that
the laws are observed and to meet
fully and completely the duties that
devolve upon him by law. His Of
flee deputy is Mr.. Virgil r. James,
who, was for sixteen years county
superintendent of Education. That
he is eminently fitted and qualified
for the important duties he has as
sumed will be admitted by all He
can be relied upon to be obliging and
to make it real pleasure to deal
with the Sheriff's office.
The new Chancery Clerk, Mr.. James
B. KeetOn, is young man about 80
years of age, but his business con-
nections heretofore have been such
70 h. %InA H.
is peculiarly fitted and qualified to
serve the County in the important
office of Chancery Clerk. He is a
gentleman of the highest integrity,
always especially clever and oblig-
ing. 1t is safe prediction to say
that he will make one of the most
efficient and popular Chancery Clerks
the County ever had. Mr.. Keeton has
named as his office deputy, Mr.. Tom
son Of the late p. S. Irby. Mr.
Irby is an exceptionally fine young
man and it was in the army over
seas that Mr.. Keeton learned to ap-
preciate most highly the capacity of
Mr.. Irby.
Messrs. w. B. Barnes and M. Nc
Kibben each succeed themselves in
the offices of Circuit Clerk and
County Superintendent of Public Ed
ucation The fact that they were
endorsed by the people is evidence
that their services were satisfactory.
They are both among the County's
best citizens and can be relied upon
to give the duties of their offices
their best attention.
Mr.. Groce Carver, the new AS
SCISSOR halls from district five, just
South of Holcomb There is not
ulan in the County more loyal to the
right and imbued with a greater de-
sire to promote the general welfare
of society, than Mr.. Carver. The

GOES IN AIRsHR.

Naturally every good father takes
a pride in the success and accom-
pishments of his children. One of
Grenada County's oldest and most
honored citizens, Col. o. F. Bled-
soc, is taking peculiar interest just
now in the doings of the Mississippi
legislature because of the fact that
his son, o. F., Jr. is member of
the lower house from LeFlore County.
And by the way, he is one of the
leading and most representative cit
izens of that County. He went to
Jackson at the convening of the law

ship and on his arrival at the Capt.
