You have children; you have strong and
enduring love for them; no one else feels as
you feel; to this love we appeal. Nothing

hearts with anguish. But grieve no more,

At Atoku, Tiptou county, Tenn January
9th, 1879, Mrs. Agnes Z. Coward, in the
sixty-second year OF her age.
a brief obituary of this most excellent
Christian woman has already appeared in
one of her church journals, but life like
hers, so unselfish, SO Astounding in deeds of
charity and kindness, deserves more than a
passing notice. She was the daughter of
Peter 2. and Margaret Smith; was born in
Chatham county, \. c., March End, 1917,
and at the early age of sixteen was married
to Isaac Hunter, a young man of great
PROMISES but who after two short years of
welded happiness, in the pride and glory
of his manhood was taken from her by
death. Loving him with all the ferver of
her afectionate nature, for years she refus-
ed to be comforted, but removing to Harde-
man county, with her parents and other
near relatives, change of scene, new associa-
tions, and time, the CONSIDER assisted her In
overcoming her great sorrow, and in 1888
she was united in marriage to John T. Shaw,
prominent citizen of Fayette Co., whittier
she accompanied him to his home, remain
ing resident of that county until his death
which occurred in 1913 Returning to her
fathers home in Hardeman comfy, she re-
manned there until she became the wife Of
Maj. William Coward, OF Upton county,
and in the family mansion to which he car
ried her, they both spent their remaining
days, period Of over thirty years; he hav-
ing preceded her TO The "Letter land" only
two years. Mrs. Coward never had any
children of her OWE, but she raised from
early childhood, three of her last husbands
children and motherless nephew who be-
came her charge at the tender age of three
months. These children whose characters
were moulded Icy her high precept and ex-
ample, now occupy prominent social posi-
TONS and will bear witness to her many vir-
tues. For years before her death, her afllic- /
tions were great. One of numerous fami- /
ly she lived to see them all, except one sis |
ter who is yet living, pass over to the 'other |
shore" besides having buried three hus-
bands then she became Il victim of that ter |
rible disease Asthma and was never again
free from it. Often during the dreadful |
paroxysms to which she was subject she /
would exclaim: Cob! my Godp' thy rod /

To the Public.

1t has come to my knowledge
that some envioUs parties have
circulated the report and seek to
make the impression that | sell
goods higher than any house in
town. Do aot be deceived by
these interested individuals. Those
who seek to mislead you to gain
your trade will not scruple to de-
ceive you in your trade. 1t is
conceded by judges that | keep
the best assorted stock in this
market. The most credulous are
being convinced of the deception
referred to, and see that | sell goods
at the lowest figure. So, come and
buy and save money. Those
owing me will please do me a
great favor by settling. My bus
mess needs all the money l can
command. Respectfully, &C.,
