Sentinel believes that he will make
the County a most capable and salts
factory assessor.
Mr.. Albert ]. Long, is the new
Treasurer Of the County. The
Treasurer's office has become to be
regarded as gift to the infirm or
crippled, hence it is rare thing when
anybody else other than a cripple OF
an infirm seeks it. Mr.. Long sus-
tanned an injury several years ago
which makes it a real JOY to the pub
lie to see him become County Treas
urer.
The new Board Of Supervisors are
LIB. Yeager district one; J.H. James,
district two; Frank Anderson, district
three; Ira G.. Rounsaville, district
four, and Greek P. Cunningham, dis
trict five.
Mr.. Yeager has served before as
member Of the board from district
three. He has just retired from a
twelve years term as Assessor and
is regarded as one of the county's
most clever and obliging citizens. His
untiring work as a public officer
should especially qualify him to rem
der the County exceptional service at
this time.
Mr.. j. II. James has served here
1fore on the board. There is not
a more honest man nor one of strict
er integrity in the County than John
James. He is a splendid citizen and
it is therefore no surprise that his
fellow-members of the board saw fit
to elect him president. II
Mr.. Frank Anderson is the young
est member of the board. He is the
son of Mr.. Richard M. Anderson, who
was at one time a member of the
board from district three. Mr.. An
derson is young man of marked
business ability and Of the highest
integrity and it is believed that he
is going to make a most satisfactory
and acceptable member He has had
an experience in obtaining the Of
fee, perhaps no man in the County
ever before had. His nomination was
contested before the executive COM
mittee but so far he has won out at
every point. Objections were even
filed to hi- being sworn in and to the
new pleSNent of the board approving
his bond; but all without avail.
Mr.. Ira G. Rounsaville comes back
on the board after an interim of
four years. 1t is Mr.. Rounsaville's
aim in all matters to further the best
interests of the County, and to CO.
operate with those who are trying to
build wisely for the future. He is
full of the milk of human kindness,
and it is his nature to do the clever
and obliging thing.
Mr.. Greek P. Cunningham is the
stalwart character that represents the

1t was recorded in these columns
last week that Mr.. Lamar Ross had
accidentally shot himself on the eve
ming Of Dec. 81 Hopes were enter
tanned then that he might recover,
though his physician never thought
that he had an even chance Pneu-
monia set up in his left lung Friday
morning and it was then that the
tide set in against him. He gradu-
ally grew worse, and on Friday night
at o'clock, A. NJ, Jan. 3, he peace
fully passed to the beyond.
Mr.. Ross was about SO years OF
age. He highly educated ard
but for the fact that his eyeslghr fail
ed him and for that reason he was
compelled to abandon the law, and
cease to read entirely, he would have
attained that eminence that his bril-
liant intellect entitled him to. He
came of a family of notables being
a nephew of L. @. C. Lamar and
half brother Of Judge James C. Long
street. When at College, he was the
orator of orators. Graduating at the
State University, he then went to
Harvard where he was awarded the
medal for Oratory. In an oratorical
debate between Harvard and Yale
Universities, he again carried off the
honors.
When he laid aside his legal pur-
suits he was member of one of the
best law firms in the State, Mayes &
Mayes of Jackson, general attorneys
for the l. C. Railroad.
But in spite of his brilliant attain
ments, it was as private citizen, as
husband, friend and neighbor that
he most impressed the world. He
was as gentle as a woman, as con-
slderate as a mother and persuasive
in his every demeanor. He was ex-
ceedingly modest, yet his modesty
betOkened virility of character and
a stability of judgement that were
builded on knowledge and a measure
ment of men and conditions. His
ideals were high; his purposes noble
and there is something more than
sad that man in the very prime Of
his life, and one Of such capacity and
usefulness as he, should fall vic
tim to an accidental discharge of a
pistol in his own hands. In some
respects it is mystery but life is
full of unfathomable things.
He talked with calm complacency
of the future Immediately after he
was shot, and sought to give direc-
tions as to what he wanted done with
his business affairs with the same de-
liberation that marked his whole life.
His wife, Miss Juannita Brinker of
West Point, entered Fundamentally
into all of his affairs and had been
wonderful inspiration and aid to
him. Beside the devoted wife, one
sen. Lamar, Junior, about 16 years
of age, one brother Donald G. Ross,
survive him.
The funeral services were conduct
ed Sunday morning at 10 O'Clock from
the Episcopal church by the Rector,
Rev. E. A. DeMilfer, where large
concourse of sorrowing friends gath
cred to pay their last respects. In
terment was had at Odd Fellows

Fairy had put Molly Mole to work in
 il. The first thing Molly did was to Iunderdrain it, thing that was very necessary during all of these big rains.
 Then she had plowed nearly every row, but she plowed them beneath the ground instead of on top like men do Sometimes she would get too near the top and kill things, but the farm CT sometimes gets too close to the young stuff and blows it up, so she is not to blame. You ought to see how nice some of my sweet corn and other things look, where she plowed them we'll She liked to have ruined my beets, though. think she took a spe- eial interest in some things and fer tilized them well, for that is the only way I can account for their getting so far ahead of other things.
 The first thing the Wandering Fairy had me to do this week was to go across the river to Henry C. Lea's and get a silk cocoon He found it on his mulberry tree, the same place where he found one last year, which I wrote up in the Pulaskian. I got there Monday morning and the but terfly had just come out of il the night before It is a beautiful. great big fly of a kind of a mouse color with big eye-like markings on both wings MT Lea and his little girls said they had just been talking about me For I had asked them to save the next cocoon for me They were saving both the cocoon and the butterfly He had made a nice little box with a wire screen to cover it, When l saw it asked hi into turn it loose so it could raise more young ones. Now as old as l am l never knew before what silk worm cocoon was, though 1 have seen number of them. They are an ugly looking long sharp-pointed thing three quarters of an inch in diameter and about an inch and three-quarters long, the lower end being the sharpest, but there is more slope to the upper end It is yer ymueh the color of wasp It is very much the color of a wasp material. This one has three small holes in the side where a bird had been trying to peck into it, but the silk house was too strong for it. so my young butterfly escaped with her life. The silk worm butterfly came out on that Sunday night through the top end, making only very small

The Wandering Fairy.

After long visit in the islands of the Pacific and other delightful climes the Wandering Fairy is coming to spend the summer with me, and she is going to tell me some wonderful stories of her experiences and teach me a lot about animals, birds, fishes, flowers and nature in general On my last trip 1 started out over the Confederate Boulevard or Sweet Home pike. the commencement of which I wrote up for last weeks Pulaskian. Just before I reached Ironton, Mrs. J. N. Smith advised her daughter to deliver to me cluster of oyster shells, which she did Just at the time I did not think much of it, but when l looked at it later | saw at once that it was the Wandering Fairy's couch There is one large shell in the center for her bed. and five smaller ones around the sides, which serve the purpose of legs and sides, or shields. On the left side is vacant space which 1 at first thought spoiled the looks of it, but more careful examination shows that that was left for the fairy to get into bed, and beneath it is four tiny small shells arranged for steps, for this is a very high bed. In that respect it is like the beds they had when I was boy l had to have help to get into 1t. After l got large enough to climb into it myself I read of little boy who must have been smarter than I, for one day he said Mamma. do you know how I get into my bed ot nights?" No, my darling" Well, l just hollow Ghosts, and that scares me so bad that I can just jump into it."
 When l got home I found out the very first thing that Rube Wood Mouse had come to live with me again. l pulled off my heavy new rambling shoes and started to put on pair of old easy ones, and found the first one l picked up full of hickory nuts. In looking for something in my shelves l found cave like cavity in the front of a big piece of honey comb quartz occupied with big hickory nut, so cute in there that 1 just left it to which just filled it nicely It looked show visitors

 Bessie Barkheimer's singing almost equals Miss Beardsleys. She gives promise with more training of making one of our best signers, Mrs. Ira dol- brook is also an exceptionally good
 singer. These three and Miss Mamie Pinter sang together in one piece. Miss Eve Beardsley in a violin solo
 and in an accompaniment on the or gan was splendid especially when ac- companied by the organ. Miss May Eolbrook in a pantomine showed ex- cellent talent for so small a girl. Ma rian Austin and Chas. H. Underwood

 Every once in awhile some one asks me how many points it will take to win in my contest. I can not tell, but just now Mrs. Adam volpert, Star Route, Roland, and John " Williams, R. F. D. No l. Thornburg, are in the lead.
 Mrs. John M. Dixon was busy super intending strawberry picking. They were the first growers of strawberries and raspberries here. Their Excel sfors were killed, but their Mammoth KIondikes are doing well. They pick all the blooms off their plants the first year, as do most of the growers here.
 "The Holman Farms" is the name of tract of land being sold by MT. Holman of the Southern Trust Com pany The buyers are now opening up farms on it. Will Perry lives on it now. The little kid he had when I was there before, which made it's home in the house, is about grown and never goes in the house, as it enjoys being out with her husband in the pasture.
 Between him and the road is located the East Markham street letter car rier, and beyond him is a Riddle shop man, MT James Colburn. Mr. Col burn has new up-to-date improvements including a chicken house like the one shown in the movies, but four rooms instead of one The soil is fine for fruit. and he gave me large order for trees.
 Adjoining Colburn's is c. L. McWil- Hams, who has been here for four years. He railroaded for years on the Pacific coast and has introduced from their many rare fruits, which I had never seen or heard of before. Among them are Japanese wine berry, tree strawberry. Both of these berries taste like the raspberry, but have much finer flavor They require moist soil. He also raises almonds success fully Quinces which he bought from my nursery grow twice as large as a Kiefer pear and eat out of hand better than any pear, something he or I never heard of before. These fruits all do as well here as in California and should be grown more extensively.
 c. c. Smith has in his yard two large trees covered with English ivy. It almost doubles the attractiveness of his beautiful yard.
 T. H. Thomas has been feeding his hogs on sweet potatoes ever since he commenced digging them last fall His potatoes have kept perfectly People out here are switching off from the Nancy Hall to the Porto Rico yam, which is much the best eating potato, grows better and keeps better Mir. Thomas has more and better home grown stuff on his table to eat, I be- lieve, than any other place in Pulaski County He raises many unusual vari- cities of fruits and has English wal nuts, chestnuts and other unusual trees.
