Joseph A. Tatro, discharged agent of

go, who has stirred federal circles by
his alleged accusations against huge

At one time the whole nation would
have waved au revoir to Roscoe (Fatty)
Arbuckle if he had started on 470OO-
mile trip to the Orient, Holy Land and
Egypt. But when he started on such a
trip recently, only few of his friends
and news cameraman or two were
there to see him sail. But Fatty is
not discouraged and says he will make
an attempt to "come back" in screen
stardom when he returns to America,
Pictures above show Fatty waving
farewell from the liner Siberia Maru,
on which he started his trip.

way bill, it has not been working long
enough to tell whether or not it will
be satisfactory, but / can see no rea-
son why it should not be satisfactory,
except, l fear, the legislature, having
designated so many state highways,
which, under the law must be main
tanned by the state highway depart
ment, there will not be near so much
money left, with which to build new
roads as the people expected.
81 take it for granted that the same
sentiment, which caused the passage
of this bill, filled up with roads that
were never intended to be state high
ways, will be able to prevent any pro-
posal, which may be made to amend
it.
81 am very much in favor OF in.
creasing the severance tax on oil and
gas to three percent or even more
but think that those properties sub
ject to the payment Of the severance
tax should be classified. For instance
l do not think that LUMBER should pay
the same tax as oil and gas, bu
should be placed in a lower or cheap
er class"

MRS. JNO. A. LIMERICK.

Much sympathy is felt in this par
1sh, where he is so well known, for
Mr.. Jno. A. Limerick, Of Natchez,
in the great bereavement that has
befallen him in the passing of his
beloved wife, which occurred at the
family home at Natchez on Friday,
10th inst. The Natchez Democrat
contained the following beautiful
tribute to deceased:
Death aimed at a shining mark
when his shaft ended the time on
earth of Mrs. Jane Cuisine Conner
Limerick, at her home in this city
last evening. She had only partially
recovered fromsa severe attack, when
a turn for the worse a week ago
intensified her illness, from which
there was no recovery.
Mrs. Limerick was a native and
lifetime resident of Natchez. She was
the second daughter of Major Richard
E. Conner and his late wife, who
was Miss Margaret Buckner. Thirty
two years ago she was married to
John A. Limerick, and of this union
three children were born, Richard
Conner Limerick, John A. Limerick,
Jr., and Aylett Buckner Limerick
Besides her immediate family, Mrs
Limerick is survived by her father
by a brother, Richard E. Conner, Jr.
and by three sisters, Mrs. A. M. Eel
tus of this city, Mrs. Louis E. Muir
rell of Bayou Goula, La, and Mrs
Percy f. Quinn. Her friends are
without number: they are Of al
those who knew her, for this lovely
talented woman drew to her ant
charmed all those who came with,
touch of her generously happy dis
position. Her untimely end will cas-
! cloud of sorrow over this com
munity in which were spent all tn
days Of her beautiful life.
