After an illness of several weeks and at times devere suffering, our aged and excellent citizen, Judge Booker Powell, is at rest. He fell asleep at 11 o’clock and 25 minutes Sunday night. His condition for the past month has been such that the physicians in attendance held out no hope for his recovery, and the family. were so notified, and fully prepared for the inevitable. Judge Powell had been with usa long time, and perhaps there wae not a better known man in the county. He was a Virginia gentleman, he was charitable and liked by all who knew him. He was a farmer by occu- pation and by industry and good management accumulated a compe- tency retiring from active life a few yearsago, he moved to Butler, where he has since resided with his wife in a comfortable bome enjoying the visits of his children and grandchildren.

Harper has been as- sizned by Speaker Whitecotton on the following House Committees: Commerce and Manufacture; Militia; Official Salaries and Fees. This be- ing Mr, Harper’s second term it was hoped and expected by our people that he would be given a good chair- manship. Why the speaker ignored him in that matter we are not in- formed. We do know that Mr. representative, is always in his seat watching the interests of his constit- uents, and while he makes no pre- tentions to oratorical display, he is ahard worker and votes right, which in the end is the best test of a repre- sentative.
