annoyed at occasional intervals a

It Is Mayor Hendricks.
At the election for mayor last
Saturday Mr. G. R. Hendricks
w as elected to fill the unexpired
term of Mr. S. B. Craig - ho
resigned some time ago to go to
Columbia to study law at the
University. The term will ex
piri April 1913. All the candi
dates for this office were men of
high character and the affairs
of the city would have been safe
in the hands of either of them.
Mr. Hendricks was elected by
a good majority. Ho is aI
Pickens man, having been bo n
and raised within four miles of
the town, and about ten years
ag() was admitted to the bar
and began the practice of law.
After a few month he gave this
up and became a member of the
firm of Folger, Thornley & Co..
one of the strongest firms and
ne of the largzest mercantile
establishments here. B his
courteous manners and strict
atten tion to business he has won
many friends andi stands high
in the estimation of the people.)
Mayor Hendricks will be ex-)
pected to hold the scales of jus-)
tice as evenly balanced as hu
mau wisdom wilE allow. Not)
to make fish of one and fowl o f)
another. To mete out the same ]
favor '-and punishment to the)
hobo ~the city gentle.nan.r
Tok kI n open eye on the dives)
and I ..es of questionable re-)
sort, and if the parents wvill not,)
have the police to keep the idle)
ad~ disipatin gly inclined boys)
away from such places.]
lie will be expected to set the]
pace for civie righteonsness; to]
try to build up sentiment to re
spect law and ord.. r and there
byV stimulate and encourage bet
ter morals. He will be look to to
lead the forces to improve con
ditions in the town, to see that
the taxes are wisely and judici
ously expended. To put the
dollars where they will do the
most good and last the longest.
all of which and more beside we
believe Mayor Hendricks is cap
able of doing and that he will
heartily endeavor to do. So
here is our hand Mr. Mayor to
congratulate you and to assure
you that every effort you make
to measure up to the require
ments of these responsible duties
and to build un Pickens morally
and mateially you shall hax e
our hear-ty co-operation. Let us
join hands Mr. Mayor and pull
for Pickrns.
Death of Mr. James M. Porter.
Mr -James J. Porter, one of)
the oldest and among the best
of Pic-kens' citizens. (died at his
home about five miles north of
here on the 1st instant, at the
avanced age of 82 years. He had
been in feeble health for seret al
months, out his conditions had I
improved and it was thought he
was munch better. The morning ,I
of his death he ate breakfast '
ad seemedl quite cheerful, butI
on returnuig to his room,- com- I
plned of feeling sick and in a ,)
short time expired. HeI is, surl-I
vivd by a widow and Leven
children, who have the symupa
uhy of. m my friends in there be0

HIs body was laid to rest in
the cemetery at Mountain Grove
the day following his death, the!
pall bearers beiner his old com
rades in the war, and the funer
al services were conducted by
Rev. B. Holder.
Souire Porter was a man of
noble traits of character, a good
citizen and1 zealous christian.
HIs place will be hard to fill,
and he will be missed by many,
