THE JEFF JONES ESTATE"
After Seventeen Years Is Wound Up
in the Probate Court.
From the Fulton Sun.

From the Fulton Sun.
DR.. VIM. F. Taylor, of Martinsburg,
has filed the final papers in the settle
ment of the "Jeff Jones" estate.
1t will be remembered by our older
citizens that Col. j. F. Jones died in
the spring of 1879, and his will, which
was a lengthy one, was at once ad-
mitted to probate. Letters were
granted VIM. Harrison as executor of
the estate in the following May.
VIM. Harrison died in the fall of
1887 and on the 18th of December, the
same year, letters of administration
were granted to DIR. w. F. Taylor, of
Martinsburg, a son-in-law of the de-
ceased. DR.. Taylor was administrator
de bonus o of the estate, with will
attached, and it is he who makes the
final settlement.
Col. Jones had a large estate and a
large family. The family consisted of
nine children, three girls and six boys.
The estate was valued at Sal 1856. 35.
OF this amount s22, 1858. 95 was cash and
81, 40 was real estate.
Each child's part on final division
is S4,5S1. 1919. The children have all
fled receipts in full of the above
amount.
The will of Col. Jones was a pecu-
liar one and covered fifteen pages of
closely written legal cap paper. 1t
provided that a final distribution of
the property could not be made until
the youngest child was % years of
age.
Although the will was lengthy and
its provisions very explicit, yet there
was not a halt or a bobble in its execu-
ton.
Col. Jones vas born in Kentucky
in the fall of 1917. He was educated
in Fulton, where he studied and prac-
ticed law. His principal business was
growing and handling stock. He had
a large farm in North Galloway. Col.
Jones represented Galloway in the
legislature at one time.

w. K. Roberts, author of a book
recently published under the title
s'Dianotheism," has had the title
changed to "Divinity and Man." A
doctrinal hypothesis upon the struct-
ural order of the universe, the career
and destiny of the soul and the moral
obligations of life. The title has been
rendered into plain English because as
"Dianotheism" it seemed to create an
impression that the work was a trans
lation from some oriental religion.
The work in reality is a deduction
from the authors study of the leading
oriental creeds and their comparison
with Christianity. The book may be

What a Pastors Scrap Book Says.

Sunbeams fly on perfectly straight
lines, as does the truth. Nathan went
by the short routes when he said
'oThou art the man." There is moth
ing that a sensible sinner likes better
than having the truth put straight at
him and sent blazing into his heart
and conscience. He knows then that
he is dealing with a fearless and
honest man. Everybody likes the
other man to be straight and square,
however devious and crooked he may
himself be.-Interior.
II you have a preacher who is not
afraid to tell You the truth hold on to
him. That one quality has more in it
for you than il he had all the facets OF
a diamond, all the stars of the Plei-
AIDES, all the sweetness of a spring
morning. What we need most of all
in this world is the exact truth OF
God concerning us.-Interior.
Condemn no man for not thinking
as you think. Let every one enjoy
the full and free liberty of thinking
for himself. Let every man use his
own judgment, since every man must
give an account of himself to God.
Abhor every %reproach, in any kind OF
degree, to the spirit of persecution.
If you cannot reason or persuade a
mar into the truth, never attempt to
force a man into it. If love will not
compel him at once, leave him to God,
the Judge of all.-John Wesley.
If you want to succeed in the world
you must make your own opportun-
tiles as you go on. The man who
waits for some seventh wave to toss
him on the dry land will find that the
seventh wave is a long time coming.
You a commit no greater folly than
to sit by the roadside until some one
comes along and invites you to ride
with him to wealth or influence
John B. Cough.
No one can ask honestly or hope
fully to be delivered from temptation
unless he has himself honestly an6
firmly determined to do the best be
can to keep out of it.-Ruskin.
God never wrought miracles to con-
vince atheism, because his ordinary
works convince it.-Bacon.
Drudgery is as necessary to call ou'
the treasures of the mind as harrow
ing and planting those of the earth
Margaret Fuller.
1t is only when to-morrow's burden
is added to the burden of to-day tina
the weight is more than a man cal
bear.-George Macdonald.
There is nothing so small but tina
we may honor God by asking hi
guidance of it, or insult him by taking
it into our own hands.-Ruskin.
The talent of success is nothing
more than doing what you can dc
well, and doing well whatever you d.
without a thought of fame.-Long
fellow.
If You wish success in life, maxi
perseverance your bosom friend, ex
perience your wise counselor, caution
your elder brother, and hope you

essary to swear.-Interior.

R DOSS REFUSES
To Return to Her Husband, W. II.
Doss, Of Auxvasse, Who Treated
Her Badly, She Said-State-
ments From Both Sides.

About two years ago Miss Ida E.
Beadle, daughter of Mrs. Emma Bea-
die, of this city, married w. II. Doss,
of Auxvasse. They lived in Auxvasse
after the marriage, and some ten or
twelve months ago a child was born
to them. Mrs. Doss left her husband
and came to this cityto stay with her
mother. Mr.. Doss came to town and
tried to make her return and live with
him. She refused and he obtained a
writ of habeas corpus for the child,
but Judge Edwards quashed the writ
on account of the child's age and said
that 80 young a child would need a
mothers care. An agreement was
made, however, that Mr.. Doss should
be allowed to see the baby once a
month at the Windsor Hotel.
Immediately after this case Mrs.
Doss, through her lawyer, w. w. Fry,
filed suit for a divorce, claiming that
she had been m~istreated, etc. Thurs
day Mr.. Doss came over from Aux
vase and, going to @ his wife, tried
to persuade her to return and live
with him, but she is still with heI
mother. When seen by a LEDGER
reporter Thursday Mr.. Doss said:
~ have just been trying to get my
wife to come back to me and live with
me. 1 always have loved her and love
her now. She is the dearest woman
in the world to me, and | want her tc
come back to me. l have always
treated her as well as anyone could,
provided everything I could for her
comfort, and 1 am satisfied she really
loves me and wishes to return to me,
From the very first her mother and
brothers yer opposed to my marry.
ing her, and I am positive that it il
not OF account of her not loving mt
that she does not return, but on ac'
count of her family's prejudice agains
me. l am on the right side; God i
with me, and 1 am sure everything
will come out all right"
"Wiii she dismiss the divorce suit?'
dSkeu tne reporter.
81 think she will, and / firmly be-
lieve that she will come back to me-
Friday morning the reporter called
at Mrs. Beadle's residence and fount
Mrs. Doss and Mrs. Beadle at home
They were asked to make any desired
statement, and, on being told wha'
MI. Doss had said, Mrs. Doss said:
81 never did love Mr.. Doss, anc
only married him because / thought
he made such fair promises that if he
kept them / could learn to love him
in time. For the first six months
after we were married he treated me
as he had promised, but from that
time on, until / left him, he was cruel
to me and did not keep any of his
prouises. I know no soys no will
treat me well now il l return to him,
but l am not going to return to him.
Never shall do SO. l cannot ever love
him on account of the way in which
he has treated me. l am done with
him, and never shall go back"
Mrs. Beadle said:
"We have allowed Ida to take her
choice, and she has decided to stay
away from Mr.. Doss forever"
Mr.. Doss is a shoe merchant and it
is to be hoped that some amicable
settlement of the affair can be made,

much chance of such a thing at pres
