HAS 191 DESCENDANTS.

Trezeyant, Tenn, June 11.-One
hundred and ninety-one descendants
is the lemarkable fate of j. l.. (Fate)
Sanders, of Cades, several miles west
of this city. Mr.. Sanders, who is the
father of Mrs, Elma Mount, of this
city, is visiting his daughter here
this week. He states that he was born
in Gibson county, Tennessee, on Jan.
%, 1912, and has been married twice
and his second wife is still living, and
that he is the father of Is children,
II of whom are still living. His chill
dren, grandchildren and greatgrand-
children all together number 191, liy-
ing and dead.
Mr. Sanders fought in the Confed-
crate army under Gen, ]. G. Bright
and received his discharge because of
some physical defects at the time of
the battle of Shiloh. He states that
while his discharge was being written
out and signed the cannons and heavy

was discharged at Camp Scott in Har-
deman county.

served for a man near the four score
mark. He has followed farming for
livlihood all his life, with the excep-
tion Of a short time when he ran a
store and livery stable at Idlewild, in

FOREMAN MOORE RETAINED
BY JUDGE BARHAM.

When the June term Of the Circuit
court was being organized Monday
morning, Judge N. r. Barham, pre-
siding, ignored one part of the Act
passed by the late session of the Leg
islature, repeating the former jury
Commission law of Henderson county,
and another private act, providing for
the appointment of the foreman of the
grand jury by the County Judge in
stead of the Circuit Judge. Judge
Barham honored that part of the Act
providing for the selection of juries
by jury commission, but ignored the
feature in regard to the foreman of
the grand jury instead of accepting
Mr.. J. R. Dennison, who had been ap-
pointed foreman by the County Judge
under the new Act, again swore in as
foreman Mr. w. L. Moore, who has
been acting under the former law and
whose time it is said will not expire
until October of this year. The pri-
vate Act of the General Assembly,
of 1921, creating Board of jury
commissioners and prescribing the
duties of the board, the sheriff and to
provide for appointment of a grand
jury foreman by the County Judge,
was House Bill 1852, Chapter 615.
Judge Barham seems to be acting
on the assumption that Mr.. Moore
shall serve until October, notwith-
standing the new Act was to take eff
feet at once upon its passage and
signing by the Governor and Speak
erS.
When these Acts were before the
Legislature Judge Barham went to
Nashville to oppose their passage,
which were favored by Representa-
tive Jno S. Fielder.
This is not written in criticism of
anybody but merely to state an occur
renee in connection with the organi-
zation of the June term of the Cir
cult court of Henderson county.

not all Of her family, in her girlheod,
and under all circumstances she was
an advocate of the doctrine Of DO
ING what she conceived to be RIGHT.
She was not a woman Of ordinary
actions, for she would save closely all
the year and give away more at
Christmas than she had accumulated
during the year of her saving.
She was rarely intelligent, had read
and studied much on the problems of
life, hence, it was a privilege to con-
verse with her. Her education, OBJ
tanned here in her girlhood and at
Stanton, Virginia, and at Nashville,
was liberal.
i am prompted to write this in
memory of Mrs. Graper because she
was my friend from my first day in
Lexington when | was a guest in the
home of her mother, until the last
opportunity ] had to visit her in the
hospital at Nashville. | trust that
her soul is resting in peace and that
in the joys of Heaven she is finding
recompense for all the suffering, all
the disappointments of human life.
For the bereaved husband and little
son, for surviving sisters, brothers
and other relatives, my heart goes
out in that sympathy which can come
only from years of friendship.
The floral tributes were many and
beautiful, demonstrating anew the
love and respect in which she was
held.
The pall-bearers were composed of
immediate relatives of Mrs. Graper,
with one exception, namely, Robert
and John Hall, Hugh Boswell, Gra-
per Russell, John A. Mccall and H
d. Barry.
The talk made by Brother Ball was
a touching tribute to the exemplary
life of the woman whose remains lay
in the casket before him.

ROSS TAKES OATH.

Jackson, Tenn, June lin the
presence of personal and political
friends and the combined membership
of the Jackson Bar Association, court
attaches and newspapermen,
Judge ]. Will Ross took the oath of
office this morning at 1920 o'clock.
1t was read by Clerk of the Court
Grant Matthews, 1t was simple
worded pledge Of allegiance 10 uphold
the honor and traditions Of the Unit
ed States and Judge Ross swore to
show neither fear or favoritism to
rich or poor, but to administer justice
to all. -,~zf
There was no ceremonies attending
the oath taken by tlR new federal
Judge, and as soon A. United States
District Attorney W. d, Kizer had
made brief speech ID which he told
Judge Ross that he would cooperate
with him to the best of his ability IL
AL cases that came before them. and
that ne was certain that it was going
to be q great pleasure to be a.s0ciat-
ed with him during the remainder Of
his term, the short session was adj
journed.
A jury will be drawn and ready for
work when court opens on June 20.
There were n names on the old list
left at the death Of Judge Mccall
from which to select jurors, and a iu-
ry will be ready to begin work on the
date set.
The calender has not been arranged
yet, but from interviews with Judge
Ross during the past week, the men
who are now confined in Jail will be
tired first in federal court. There are
also number of farmers under in
dictment for illicit whisky making
and Judge Ross said last week that it
was only fair to give them a speedy
hearing.
There are more than 1870 eases ON
the docket, but it is not thought they
will require very long session. Court
will open in Memphis on July 6.
Before going to the federal build
ing to be sworn into federal service
Judge Ross disposed Of number of
matters in chancery court. He han
ded down decisions in three cases be-
fore a large delegations of the local
Bar Association. Mr.. G.. c. Bond, one
of the veteran lawyers of the city
then delivered a very flattering talk
to Judge Ross. He said that every
lawyer in the district regretted the
departure of Judge Ross from the
chancery bench, but at the same time
they every one congratulated him on
his new appointment, and he said he
felt sure the same amicable relations
would be continued as long as Judge
Ross continued in federal service.
Judge Ross responded with short
address Of appreciation for the sin
cere wishes of his many friends
among the lawyers here and said that
in one way he was sorry to leave the
chancery bench.-Memphis CONNER

WASHINGTON II. DENIS0N
APPOINTED CHANCELLOR.

The resignation of Judge J. W.
Ross as Chancellor of the Eighth
Chancery Division of Tennessee, went
into effect at 1000 o'clock a. m, the
18th inst, and before noon the same
day, Mr., Washington H. Denison, Of
the Lexington bar received notice by
wire from Governor All. Taylor ap-
pointing him to serve in that position
until the August election, 1922.
The honor came to Mr.. Denison un-
sought, for in addition to the fact
that he had made no application for
the appointment, he had given his en-
dorsement to another man.
Now that our watt" Denison has
become Chancellor Denison, it is well
enough to take peep into his history
of the 43 years covering his span of
life and tell who and what he is;
Washington Hill Denison, named in
part for his deceased father, Mr..
Washington W. Denison, a Hender-
derson county farmer, and Mrs. Mar
tina Fuller Denison, who survives and
makes her home with "Watty," was
born in this county, Jan. 5, 1873. His
education was obtained in the county
schools until he became a student of
the Southern Normal University, at
Huntingdon, from which institution
of learning he graduated in 1901,
with the B. A. and B. S. Degrees.
After graduation Mr.. Dennison
taught school at Lexington and other
places, farming between sessions and
while he was engaged in teaching he
took up the study of law in the office
of Hon. E. w. Essary, who was his
law partner for the last several years.
Mr.. Essary, it will be remembered,
had himself been ateacher until
he finally settled in Lexington in the
practice Of law and during the Hoop
er administration as Governor of
Tennessee, Mr.. Essary was member
of the State Prison Commission-out
of which position he was legislated.
We can say truly that whatever Mr..
Denison's hands found to do he did
with all his might-with the result
that he has never failed in anything
he has undertaken. He has uniform
been a good boy" an exemplary
citizen and, much to his credit, he has
been helpful to his brothers who have
needed helping hand until they
could get established on their own re-
sponsibility.
March goth, 1917, Mr. Denison was
married to a most excellent young la
dy, Miss Catherine CASTOR, daughter
of the late Rev. B. j. CASTOR, a
Southern Methodist minister of Bed
ford county and later of Nashville
where he died a few years ago. Mr.
and Mrs. Denison have one child, a
girl of three-and we take the liberty
of saying for the new chancellor that
the only unpleasant feature of his
new work will be his being taken
away from the home life to which
with his family, he is devoted,
The Progress joins his host Of 9TH
er friends in congratulating the new
Chancery Judge on his appointment
and in wishing for him an entirely
satisfactory experience in filling the
honorable and responsible position.

de chine and Georgette, with acces-
sories to match. The maid of honor,
Miss Ethel Yarbro, the brides sis
ter, was beautifully clad in pink crepe
de chine with accessories to match
while the brides maid wore lovely

ly as the bride came in on the arm OF
the groom followed by the maid OF
honor and the best man, Mr.. John
Laws, and these were followed by the

PECk'S TALKS TO FARMERS.

The Progress begins this week Civ
ing space TO Talks to Farmers" by
Capt. T. +. Peck, State Commissioner
of Agriculture-and we regret that
the first of these talks by the good
commissioner escaped our notice last
week. The Progress knows Capt.
Peck and has confidence in him as a
splendid type of man and citizen and
a most capable commissioner of Ag-
riculture, as he proved himself to be
under the Hooper Administration.
Through all the vicisitudes Of politics,
there have Jeen at least two men in
the State Agricultural Department, in
whom this paper never lost confidence
Capt. Peck and the late Col. John
Thompson. The Progress wishes
Capt. Peck well in the administration
Of his office and will lend him what
ever aid it can in getting his excel
lent and practical ideas to the people.

LEAGUE CONFER
ENCE AT JACKSON, TENN

The Memphis Annual Conference Of
the Epworth League will open the
evening of the 21st, Tuesday, and will
continue through Wednesday and
Thursday.
The sessions Of the conference will
be held at the Hays Avenue Church,
though all the churches Of the town
will help with entertaining the visit
ors.
The Conference is a delegated
body, There will be some three hun
dred delegates. The delegates from
the local League are Misses Jewel Kit
trell and Miss Jewel Austin.
The local league expects to have
the best report given at the confer
ence. Every department has been
working and the ten points of the
Standard of efficiency will be met in
full. The Missionary pledge for the
African Special, which is supported
by the Leagues alone, of 500, has
been paid, and the League has decided
to raise the pledge next year to $125.
This is especially noteworthy as an
example of how the League has in
creased in interest and purpose dur
ing the past few years, for three years
gao only $1,000 was pledged on
the Special, last year it was inereas-
ed to S25 and for this year it was in
creased to 500, while next years
pledge will be $125-thus showing a
gradual advancement. In other lines
the pledge has been equaled in i'm
provement until the League is recog-
nized some of the leading organiza-
tions of the church today.

IN MEMORY or MRS. GRAPER.

1t has fallen to my lot to write in
the columns of The Progress of the
life and death of many men and wo-
men who had been my friends and now
that sad duty comes to me to be per-
formed because of the passing to the
Great Beyond of the soul of one
whose home was the first to welcome
me to Lexington and who had contin-
uously been my friend during the
thirty seven years have resided
here.
Mae, youngest daughter. and next
youngest child of the late John s., and
Mary P. Fielder, was born in Lexing-
ton, Tenn, May 4th, 1872, and as the
beloved wife of Henry f. Graper, she
passed to her final reward in the st,
Thomas Hospital, in Nashville, at
$3.50 o'clock, Monday night, June 18th,
1921, after almost a year in that insti-
tuition.
Early in July last year Mrs. Graper
was taken i'll and on the 23rd day of
that month she was carried to the ST.
Thomas Hospital in the vain hope of
recovering her health, as it finally
proved, but up to about six weeks be-
fore her death she did so improve that
her family and friends were hopeful
of her ultimate recovery. Since the
time of that relapse, she steadily
grew weaker and about two weeks
ago her condition gave evidence that
fatal termination of her illness was
inevitable. During her stay in St.
Thomas Hospital, Nashville, all med
ical science and personal devotion
could suggest was done for her, but
the Grim Reaper had marked her for
his victim and the efforts to further
prolong her life were in vain.
Accompanied by members of the
family who had made haste to go to
Nashville when her low condition was
made known at a late hour Monday,
the remains were brought TO Lexing-
ton Tuesday evening and carried to
the home of her sister, Mrs. Celestia
Logan, where the funeral service
was held at 3 o'clock, Wednesday af-
ternoon. Rev. Fleetwood Ball, offici-
ating, after which the remains were
inferred in the Fielder lot in Lexing-
ton cemetery.
Mrs. Graper is survived by two sis
tiers. Mrs. Z. F. Boswell and Mrs. Ce-
lestia, widow of the late W. T. Logan
and three brothers, Messrs. L. t., Jno.
s, and j. R. Fielder. Having known
Mrs. Graper during all the years
since March, 1884, and counting her
as my friend all that time, ] believe
] can say that her ruling passion
in live was her devotion to her mother
while that mother lived and to her
memory since Mrs Fielder passed
away. To all that had demands on her
in the ordinary family and other phas.
es of life she was devoted-to her
husband. her only son and child, now
nine years old, and to her friends
