OLD LANDMARKS
AND RELICS

On recent visit to the home
lof Mrs. Mary Lipford, deceased,
we were shown some very inter-
esting articles and places. Among
the number was the room in
which the father Of Mrs. Lipford,
Johnnie Pigott, spent his his leisure
hours and entertained his friends,
among the number being those
that had come from his native
land Of Ireland. Such names as
Barney Curtin, Jim Gallagher, P.
Carr, Mr.. Little, Mr.. Murphy,
Mr.. McHugh, Thomas Croskery,
Patrick Noonan appear on the
roster.
An old fashioned spinning
wheel adorns a corner Of one Of
the rooms, and just outside the
house, with the sheltering of
some shrubery above it rests an
old Charter Oak stove. It has
been in the same place for forty
years, and there is no rust about
it. andstffe doors open as easily
as when it was in use. On the
mantle piece stands "grandfath-
er's clock, nearly century old,
and in season and out Of season,
and now it records the passing of
the times. Near the residence
is an old stable the logs for which
were cut and put in place nearly
| a hundred years ago. The spring
under the hill still sends forth
Its volumes of crystal water as it
has done through the ages past.
The whole of the place is made
up Of about 400 acres, and will
always be one of the interesting
places in the history of the coun-
Ity.

Bunyan Kernodle and Earl PUNK,
On the old state road. that the
obstacles that used to battle the
road hands are now easily over
come. For instance, there was
d red hill Or elevation in the path
of the road outlined, just north
of the old Shirley place, east Of
Purdy, and on the hill, south Of
the Murray Harris place. It had
to Be removed. So about 19
charges Of dynamite were proper
" placed. the fuses lighted and
III about 10 seconds the whole hill
was history. Grading was re-
sumed, and what was once a very
bad hill and dangerous turn in
the road Is now . beautifully
graded highway. From that place
10 the old Purdy Playground and
from there on to the Snake creek
bridge, the road is graded. In a
few days the whole Of the route
will ~ graded, and put in shape.
II will remain then for the public
spirited citizens along this grad
ed road TO arrange, to keep it
dragged. The outfit will get to
the other roads as soon as pos
sible. Good work is being done,
and the only criticism Is that the
people are not manifesting enough
interest Allthe preliminary work
should be done by the road hands
and paid for independent of the
automobile fund. The crew can
be kept steadily at work through
the year, and without any ad-
ditional cost to the tax payer.
All the expense is paid out of the
automobile fund. So we trust
the people will takeit upon them
selves to do this work. Get up
money to purchase dynamite, cut
out the right of way, and remove
the obstructions for the road
working crew.

to whether communication with

famous Sherlock Holmes stories,

OF how he has been communing

writer's declare that there never

that there is communication with

MRS. JANE LEA DEAD

After lingering illness Of
many months, Mrs. Jane Lea,
died at her home in Selmer in the
early hours Of the morning of
June 6, surrounded by her sons,
Will and A C Lea, and her daugh-
ter. Mrs. Minnie Downing. The
deceased had lived in Selmer for
many years, removing to the old
place formerly occupied by W A.
Grant and Jas. H. Scott, on West
Cypress Avenue. Mrs. Lea led a
quiet, unassuming life, and for
many years had lived alone in her
home in Selmer, giving attention
to her farming interests outside
of the town on Oxford. 1t used
to be a custom to visit her child
rem living in Shreveport, but for
many years she had been COM
PEELED to forego the pleasure Of
these trips on account of her ply
sical infrmities. Her Children,
however, made frequent visits TO
her. The deceased was the daugh-
ter of Art Emmons, one of the
prominent citizens of the county
in the years past, and was reared
in the south part Of the county
where she now has numerous con-
nections. She was a faithful
member of the Christian church,
with which church she had been
identified since her young woman
hood. Her sons are prominently
identified with the business inter-
ests of Shreveport, and are now
largely interested in the oil i'm
dustry in that section. Mrs.
Downing. her daughter, possess
ses all the qualifications necessary
to a business life, and has occu-
pied many responsible positions.
For a long time prior to her
mothers death, she had been
here waiting upon her. The many
friends of the deceased express
with the Independent coincidence
to the bereaved in the afiiction
that they must bear.
The funeral was conducted by
j. A. Houston at the Christian
church assisted by Elder Me-
Corkle and Rev. Maxedon. Her
son. Allen, spoke briefly, and in
a touching manner. j. r. Gooch
& Son, undertakers, were in
charge of the funeral arrange
ments. The pail bearers were ].
