that day at their club room. A good
number celebrated, and some of the
members toyed with the feathers OF
the American bird until late into the
night and until his birdship fairly
screamed with delight. A number OF
invited guests of the opposite faith
were present, few of whom hailed
from Jonesboro, and, although not con-
verted, evinced pleasure at being pres.
emf. DR.. Cam bridge and w. H. Cooney,
two stout Tammany men, made
speeches, using as their subject, "The
Glorious Fourth" which they handled
well. The meeting was then closed
with song composed by Mr.. Cooney
for the occasion, which he executed

at the age Of fifty-two. Her illness
dates back to partial stroke Of paral-
ysis she received more than a year
ago. She partially recovered and was
able to go about the house and out
driving but never became entirely
well. This was not the immediate
cause of her death, however, which
resulted from complication OF dis
eases. Funeral services were held at

conducted by Rev. K, G. Atkins. The
