O. Hobbs, and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. H.

Foard. She was born in Howell County, September 15, 1881, being at the time of her death 28 years, 10 months and 29 days of age. In early life she was converted and united with the M. Church, South, of which she lived a faithful member during her pilgrimage on earth. She was united in marriage with Alvin O.

Hobbs August 20, 1902. There were born trthis. unjpn two sons and one daughter, namely: Frank, Norma and "Willie, the lat ter two having died in infancy She was also Dreceded to the bet ter land by a brother and sister, who like her were victims of con sumption. Besides her husband and little son. Frank, she leaves behind, a father and mother, four sisters and two brothers, with a host of sorrowing friends.

She was a fond mother, an affectionate wife and a kind neighbor and took an active part in religious and literary work, using her influence to promote the welfare of the community and the uplifting of bumanity. Almost two years ago she, with her husband and little son, went to New Mexico hoping to improve her health, but after residing there for some 18 months, thinking her case hopeless, they returned home that she might spend her lust days with kindred and friends amid scenes she loved. All that kind hands and loving hearts could do was done to relieve her suffering and make her last hours deasant ones. She was patient and cheerful and took an interest in publio affairs unto the eve of her departure. She had realized for some time that her journey was near its close and said she was anxiously awaiting her eumiuoiis to Heaven.

"The heart we lean on fainteth; The hand we grasp grows cold; And dross is in the treasure We counted purest gold; The ties which seeni the strongest May first of all be riven, To bid our hearts remember There's nothing sure but Heav en." A Friend. Notice. I kindly ask all those owing me store accounts to come in and settle same as I need money to pay my bills that are coming due. Please give this your prompt attention.

Cox Xarsissie Jane Cox, widow of George W. Cox, died at her home on Ellis Prairie last Sunday at the age of 75 years, 1 month and 17 days. Mrs. Cox's maiden name was McCrarie and she was born in East Tennessee July 4, 1835. She was united in matrimony with George W.

Cox November 4, 1855, and eight children resulted from this uuioD, four girls and four boys, all of whom are now living. She pro fessed faith in Christ and united with the Baptist church at the age of 18 years and lived a true and faithful christian life until called to meet the Master she had served This is another of the good old citizens gone. One by one they are passing, leaving sorrowing hearts and vacant homes. They pass to their reward in the home prepared for them, while relatives and friends are bowed with the grief which seems unbearable. Mrs.

Cox was one of the dear, good mothers, kind-hearted and thoughtful for the welfare of those near and dear to her, gentle in her ministrations to the son or daughter who never grew too large to be her boy or girl. The remains were buried at Em ery graveyard Monday, funeral services being conducted by Rev. J. S. Rice in the presence of a large gathering of relatives and friends.

It was a grand success in every way, socially, morally and religiously. It would do you good to see the crowd eat fish and ice cream and ether eatables that the table was loaded with. Everybody seemed to enjoy themselves, both old and young. It will be remem bered for years to come. Grand-pap.

in on "CAN'T AFFORD IT?" Remember the man who couldn't "afford a pocket book, carried his money loose, wore a hole in his pocket and lost it all?" That's the same man who thinks he can't "afford" the protection of an abstract of title. Would rather risk losing his property than pay the trifling price for the protection of an abstract You're NOT that fellow are you? Then it's time to talk turkey with us. What better time than today?
