VII: I further direct that said H. B. NANCE, as guardian, shall have control of all of the property, both real and personal, herein bequeathed to my son PARHAM FARROW immediately after the death of my said wife, and that he shall hold said property in trust for my son until he PARHAM, shall have reached the age of twenty five years, and then if PARHAM has not clearly demonstrated that he is capable and willing to take care of said property the said H. B. NANCE shall continue to hold and control said property for him until such time as the parties named in the next paragraph shall decide that he is capable to manage said property to his best interest.

VIII: I further direct that said H. B. NANCE and MRS. MITTIE HARBER shall be the sole judges as to the capability of my said son PARHAM FARROW to manage and control the property herein bequeathed to him.

IX: The said H. B. NANCE is hereby given the authority to expend such part of the personal property herein bequeathed to my said daughter and son as is needed for their clothing, board, and schooling, and whatever incidental expenses either of them may require.

X: I further will and bequeath to my said daughter LOUISE FARROW and my said son PARHAM FARROW all of the personal property of every kind and character remaining after the death of my said wife, to be equally divided between my said daughter and son, except the One Thousand Dollars herein bequeathed to LOUISE.
