Still less can any man read the workings

but all her artihces are rs transparent

Mr.. Fox hastened TO add, though, that,

must edmit that Mr. Buzzard had many
good points, such as rare intelligence,
which, ii q measure, made up for his lack
OF legs
He felt sure, therefore, that the story
Mr. Buzzard had TO tell would prove that
his presence was All advantage to the club.
At this very fattering compliment.
MIR Buzzard was at a loss for suitable
reply, - he batted his eyes slowly and
solemnly several times and he began his

A Tribute to Miss Fancher.

Early on April the both the death
iangel appeared in terrible tornado
jand claimed as a victim the precious
! dove-like spirit Of Miss Mary Eliza
beth Fancher, (better known as Miss
Bette Fancher.) The tornado struck
| her home crushing everything and
when the dwelling which she occupied
was crushed the wall fell on her and in
a few minutes her soul was waited
home to GOD who gave it.
Miss Fanchcr was the daughter Of
the late Dr.. James Fancher, she was
born and reared in NoXubee and re-
sided in this county until her death.
She was one Of Noxubee's most high
ly esteemed ladies and q lady of
great culture and refinement. She
was great reader and very deep
thinker, She was very Industrious and
her character was unsurpassed.
While young woman she united
with the Baptist church at Nashua
vile, She never made a great display
of her religion, in fact she never
made great display of any kind
She admired sincerity, she had great
love for her God though.
She was an invalid the greater por-
ton Of her life but her suffering never
caused her faith to waiver. During
her suffering as in all other trials Of
her life she cast her cares and sorrows
at the feet Of Jesus and went on doing
the very best that she could. She was
a woman who appreciated to the great
est extent every kind deed that any
one rendered unto her, but if anyone
did her an unkind deed she never want
ed to take revenge in any way She
seemed to have for her motto; "Ven-
geance is mine | will repay sayeth
the Lord"
Miss Fancher leaves one sister, one
nephew one niece and only few other
relatives.
1t seems so sad to give up friends
and loved ones but we know that the
All Wise God in his infinite love and
mercy knoweth and doeth all things
for the best and we know that our loss
lis Heavens eternal gain.
When we think of how sudden Miss
FanCher was SnaUcneu away IL SHuulu
behove us to live so that we will be
ready to meet God and give account
of our deeds at any time. Oh, how
little did Miss Fancher think when she
saw the cloud rising in the great hori-
zon, and said that she hoped it would
come a nice rain, that so soon her
soul would be required of her.
Written by one who knew and loved
her. b. Z.

Z stitutes a Distinct Menace to the

That tick control work may be ex-
tended to the lands of the Bitter

chamber of commerce, cooperating
with the Bitter Root valley, at a re-
cent meeting of the board of direc-
tors, passed resolutions petitioning
the government to APPROPRIATE the
sum of $1,000 to be expended by the
biological surrey on lands of the Bit
ter Root national forest for the. -eea-
troll and extinction of the Rocky
Mountain fever tick on those lands.
The resolutions were sent to the
Montana delegation in congress
along with letter calling their at
teHtion to the seriousness of the situ~
alton, said Secretary Richards.
Flick control work is,being done on.
private lands and Apubllc4 highways
outside of the Bitter Root national
forest, but the forest service, it is
said, cannot spend money for the ex-
termination of the Columbian ground
sqMrrel and other rodents which
carry the ticks, as rodent extermina-
ton is supposed to be conducted by
the United States biological survey, |
which at present has not sufficient
funds to pursue the work.
The resolution as drafted by the |
chamber of commerce, follows:
i"Whereas: The Rocky Mountain
