Mrs. A. J. Davis, a widow lady
living near Shellman, met most
horrible death last We mesday.
While burning grass and trash in
patch near her house, her clothes
caught fire. Mrs. Davis screams
alarmed her children and neigh

tant field, but before they could
get to her relief the flames had
gotten in their deadly work and
the victim was dead. On the 2Sth
of last December Mrs. Davis hap
pened to the misfortune of having
her house and its entire contents,
in this county, destroyed by fire.
She was the sister of Mr.. j. Z.
Bozeman, of this county, and was
about 40 years Of age. She WIS q
true and consistent Christian, and
never seemed SO happy as when
visiting and administering to the
distressed and afflicted. She
leaves five children two sons and
three daughters-and many rel
atives and friends to mourn her
loss. The remains were inferred
at Rehoboth church burial
grounds.

The reply was:
"Well, [ don't know. Would
like to very much, but [ am not
going unless [ get an invitation

Well be blankety, blankety
blank if we ever again write any
thing about "gentle spring" Old
Hazen, chief of the weather bu-

after delivering ourself asfollows:
"Old Sol once more pours his
wealth Of golden sunshine upon
US, and hoary winter, crippled by
his piercing rays, has seized his
staff preparatory to journeying
on" We are getting tired OF such
foolishness, and If ever again we
are caught wri5ing about such q
mystical thing as gentle spring
we are going to kick ourself all

For the past three or four

new rollers, and we expect them
to good work.
The breezy guano IS still GO
ing to the country. We will
venture the assertion that there
are more commercial fertilizers
sold in this market than any other

there is more natural material in
the county of Terrell for making
compassionate made fertilizers
and less utilized than any other
county in the State regardless OF
size.
