Mr. Bordages calls attention to the number of local transfers made within the last few weeks and also to the number of sales on the tapis. He says this activity is unusual, and that, with tho number of municipal improvements planned for the immediate future, the outlook cannot but be good and propitious. .

ADOLPH KERGOSIEN, F.. .ON.
Adolph Ange Mario Kergosien died at the family home at Fenton, this county, on Thursday morning, September 26, 1912, after a lingering illness, during which time he made a remarkable struggle for life and and after all that medical science and human endeavor could administer. It had been known for some time since that he was ill and iends had hoped against hope that he uld bo spared his loved ones yet a wnile.
Captain Kergosien was one of tho oldest and best known residents of Hancock county, and his demise removes one who was a conspicuous figure in the development and history of the Jordan river section of the county.
He was a native of Lorien, of tho department of Morbian, France, where he first saw light on January 6, 1830, being 82 years of age at the time of his death. He left l-.is native land, la Belle France, when but 17 years of age. goon after locating where his late home now stands, he engaged in the saw-mill business, which he carried on successfully for over40 years, when his advancing age and change in local conditions causcd him to abandon tho pursuit.
Tho old homestead, with memories of a generation clinging and ehcrished associations connected with every nook and corner, still stands in its picturesque setting, reflecting tho mellowness of jcars and its home-like charms in the, passive waters of Rotten • Bayou, and further retired, like a monument to his long years of thrift and industry stands mountain-like, a pile of sawdust with the ruins of the mill beside. The hill of sawdust the work of industrious man; tho ruins of the mill the toll of time I
On August 15, 1853, Captain. Kergosien married Miss Elodie Mauffray, who survives him at the age of 74 years, living in the twilight of her life with a wealth offrolden memories of a long and beautiful life. To this union there were born eleven children, seven of whom survive, Thesg are Mrs. George Curet, of Fenton, Miss,; Mrs. Wjllianj Curet, of Kilu, Miss.; Mrs. C. L, Baker of Slidell, La.; Mrs. R, L. Martin, of Beaumont, Texas; Mrs. F. M. Attaway, of Houston, Texas; Mr. George A. Kergosien, of Fonton, Miss.; and Hon. A. A. Kergosien, county clerk, residing at Bay St. Louis. ’	<
Tho entire family was at the bedside when the inevitable sumjivopgpapie, and although Captain Kergosien had lived many moro years tba^ is plotted average man, tna demise of this excellent gentleman', is keenly felt not only by the family but the entire community and those who knew him will mourn his death, for well had he earned a niche in the hearts and minds of every man and woman and in tho daily affairs—“the things (that aro and the things that were,’’—-of his jtpnjQdiate yipjnity. He has left a vacant place the loss of which will be hard to fill.
Tae remains wore laid away “at rest” in the hallowed precincts of St. Mary’s cemetery, in the family burial plot, at Fenton, yesterday forenoon. Rev! Fath-or Chauvin, who had administered to tho spifj(.i}^f g9fjjforts iol the, deceased, officiated at the ceremony, Tho funeral was largely attended—a tribute to the memory of the departed one.
The^Eeho deeply feels for the aged widow ?md other members and relatives of the bereaved family and sympathizes with them li> their great sorrow.
