DuJtant is the daughter of jnines ltembert, who was of French Huguenot Mock. 8be was l>orn on her father's plantation near tills d?lacc. A large part of this beautiful plantation, which contained mow titan acre*, wan inherited by her and has beep i? Iter possession for over (17 years- Mrs. mutant was married H4 years ago.

When the iPttlmetto regiment marched to the Mexican war, Caleb IVerobert. her only brother, was one of its brave volunteers. She never saw him again, as he died from disease and was buried in the City of Mexico dur ing the siege of that stronghold. To Hie Confederate' war went her husband and two sons. David and J<ame&. This great war took its deadly loll, too, as James died from disease in the Confed erate hospital at Charlottesville, Va. Then came the Spa wish-American war and the anxieties connected \vith tlie jieril to her grandsons engaged in It.1 And finally the World war, in Avhich were engaged many grandsons and great grandsons, one great-grandson, llngh Merritt, having made the su preme sacrifice, Naturally the Confederate war made the greatest impression upon ller, and she talks most Interestingly of her experiences. Like so many other brave Southern women, during tluit pe riod she worked unceasingly to keep the plantation going, to care for the young children at home and to cb?>r and aid loved ones in the field. She must have reaped that the end of the Confederacy was near, when one Saturday night in March, 1865, while she and iter five young daugh ters were seated at the supper table,* there rushed into the room, entirely unexpectedly, more than a dozen Union soldier*. They ransacked the house and made merry wLtJi brandy which they found.

As soon as the curbing has ? been completed they will begin work on thp western end of DeKatb street and fin ish that section before returning to the Work on the other streets'/ The work wild begin near the rail way crossing at the find of west De Kalb and this will necessitate a de tour off that street while it is closed. The detour will Ihn to the left u)K>n entering the town and pass aronnil the grove of the Jackson colored school and leat{ on by the residence of .lot Heed and then fellow east into La Fayette avenue on into Broad street It is a wise decision on the part of the mayor "and council and they are doing everything possible to cause the least inconvenience to traffic as well as business.
