On last Friday, at her home
near Hickory Valley, Mrs. Jno. D.
Woods passed away. She was a
member of one of the most respected
families of Hardeman County, and
because of her unusually bright and
sunny disposition was a general ia
vorite of a large circle of friends.
One of her most endearing traits of
character was that of self-sacrifice,
when by that means she could add
to the enjoyment of others. For
more than twelve months she was
in i'll health, and at all times bore
her sufferings with christian forti-
tude. The loss to the church of
which she was a member, and the
community in which she lived, while
great is irreparable to the devoted
family of which she was a member.

A COMMUNITY M0URN5.
Death Claims IS its Victim
an Honored Citizen.

At 20 minutes to 4 o'clock,
on Monday morning, March
9th, 1896, Jefferson Casey
Savage died at his residence
in Bolivar, Tenn, of neural
gia of the heart.
When the announcement
was made on the streets of
Bolivar that Mr.. Savage was
dead, u shadow of gloom
overspread the countenances
of our citizens. On every
hand, expressions of sincere
regret could be heard. No
death has ever occurred in
this community that brought
forth more genuine sorrow.
Mr.. Savage was an old and
honored citizen, loved by
everybody who knew him.
For the past few years, his
health has failed rapidly, and
his friends knew that the end
was near. Sunday morning
he complained of pains in
the region of the heart. Med
ical aid was summoned and
temporary relief given, but
he could not rally. He real
lied his condition, and told
his devoted wife, who had
faithfully watched by his
bedside, administering to his
wants as only a woman can
do, that he would soon leave
her. When he died he was
sitting in a chair.
The funeral services were
conducted from the Baptist
Church, Tuesday morning by
Rev. w. L. Brown, who paid
an elOouent and lust tribute
to the deceased. AS mark
of respect, the business hous-
es Of Bolivar closed, and the
whole town attended the ser
vices. Many from the country
were present to pay their last
The remains were
inferred in Union Cemetery.
The floral offerings complete
ly covered the grave.

Jefferson Casey Savage was
born May 81, 1920, in Mon
roe County. KY. He moved
with his fathers family to
Hardeman County, Tenn. ],
in 1924. The early part of
his life was spent on a farm.
In 1913, Mr.. Savage married
Miss Lucy Dean, by whom
he had six children, two of
whom are living-G. M. Saw
age, the present postmaster
OF Bolivar, and Eudora f.,
wife of w. f. Prewitt, a
prosperous farmer of the
Middleburg neighborhood.
In 1878, his wife died. Four
years later, Mr.. Savage mar
ried Mrs. Sallie Black. In
1862, Mr.. Savage entered the
Confederate army, first in
Captain Wilson's Company,
and shortly afterwards was
transferred to the Company
of Captain Wiley Higgs, of
which he was made first lieu
tenant, serving in that capac-
ity until the close of the war.
During all of his active and
gallant service, he was Meth
er wounded nor captured.
After the restoration of peace
he began farming, continuing
until 1872, when he was elect
ed Trustee of Hardeman
County, which position he
held and discharged in a
creditable and satisfactory
manner for twenty years. He
was never defeated for Office.
When his health began to
fail, a few years ago, though
strongly urged by his friends
to stand tor reelection, he
refused to do so.
He was a consistent MEM

Condition of Cotton.

The August returns to the statistician
of the Department of Agriculture show
a reduction in the condition of cotton
during July from 92.5 to SOL, or 1874
points. The condition of the same last
year was 77.9, which was the lowest
average for August ever given. The
averages of the states are: Virginia, Sc;
North Carolina, 90; South Carolina, SO,
Georgia, 90; Florida, "a; Alabama, 90;
Mississippi, rs; Louisiana, 10; Texas, SO;
Arkansas, 65; Tennessee, SO. Heavy
rains IN July damaged the crop, espec-
tally on bottom lands in Virginia, North
and South Carolina, Florida, and some
portions Of Georgia. Over large area
in Georgia the crop is in fine condition,
and promises fine yield. A drouth
that extended over Alabama, Mississ
slppi, Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas
for several weeks caused more or less
damage, and in many counties COM
plants are made Of rapid shedding and
premature ripening and blooming at the
top. Some counties in Mississippi and
Arkansas report that the crop is irrepar-
ably damaged from drouth and exces-
sive heat. Some counties in Texas re-
port the crop in good condition, fruiting
we'll and promising an average yield;
but over the drouth- stricken district
where the rains have fallen they have
come too late to be of benefit. The con-
tinued drouth and hot, dry winds have
done considerable damage in some
counties. There is complaint Of too
much dry weather in Tennessee, other
wise the crop is doing fairly well. The
crop over almost the entire cotton belt
is maturing rapidly, and is earlier than
for many years, partly from early plant
ing and partly from premature ripening.

Preserving Grape Juice.

DR.. S. w. Dodds, who urges the more
general introduction of beverages made
from grape Juice, and highly esteems
their curative and lth-promoting
qualities, gives the following directions
for making grape juice:
"When the grapes are aG their best
for eating, they are just ripe for juice.
They should be fully ripe. Wash Them
in colander and strip from the stems,
throwing out all faulty berries. Put
them into fruit kettle with nearly
enough water to cover A good rule is
two quarts Of water to six quarts OF
stripped grapes. No sugar is needed.
Skim when they begin to boil, heating
slowly, and when the whole mass is boil
ing hot strain through flannel or cheese
cloth. Thin muslin, like that used for
flour sacks, will do. This gives the
clear juice with very little pulp. When
no more juice will run through, put the
seeds and skins into coarse linen bag,
or one of ordinary cheesecloth, and ex-
press the remainder. A jelly squeezer
will discolor, more or less. Do not add
sugar. The less the fruit Cor juice is
cooked, the brighter the color and the
better the flavor. Like all small or
tender fruits, it is injured by long or
rapid boiling. The color becomes dark
and the fine, fresh flavor is gone. After
straining and squeezing, put the liquid
back into the kettle and let it come
slowly to boil. Then remove from the
fire or put into glass cans or bottles.

Treatment of Sunstroke.

Heat prostratlons and sunstrOkes have
been plentiful in the north during the
past week or two. In New York City
alone there were nearly one thousand
prostratons in single day, many Of
which proved fatal. We have heard of
neither prostrations nor sunstrokes in
Florida (which is incOmprehensible to
our northern friends) but the following
treatment for cases of this kind, which
we clip from the Washington Post AL
manic is worth place in your scrap
book.
There is always danger Of sunstroke
during hot and "muggy" days; predis-
posing causes of sunstroke are loss of
sleep, excitement, abuse Of stimulants
and poorly ventilated sleeping rooms.
People who are exposed to the sun are
always liable to an attack, although
persons who work in such places as
laundries and other eSta blishments
where artificial heat is used are some
times overcome. When exposed to the
sun, light hat eight both in weight
and color should be worn ;black absorbs
the heat. A wet cloth, sponge or green
leaf may be worn inside of the hat as a
safeguard. Great care should DE taken
between the hours Of II m. and 3 p. M,
as the danger Of sunstroke is always
greatest during those hours,
Upon the approach of feeling Of ex-
haustion, faintness, fatigue and head
ache, lie down at once in q cool, shady
place, and apply cloths, wrung out Of
cold water, to the head and neck. A
person who is overcome by the heat
should be removed at once to a shady
place and the collar Of the shirt, straps
and Wristbands be looSened. Cool
drinks Of water should be given and a
doctor sent for at once. If the person
is very faint, he or she should lay upon
the back and give spoonful of aro-
matte spirits of ammonia in little cold
water. Do not apply cold water to the
body. but rub the hands and feet until
the circulation has been restored.
When the skin is dry and hot, the person
should be placed against wall or other
support Gn a sitting poSture), cold
water poured over the body and ice
applied to the head.

Calvert, O. o. Guy and y. 5. butcher.
The examination was conducted By Cor
oner Askam at the rooms OF the Seattle
Undertaking Company. and was largely
attended. The testimony OF every witness
showed that the planking on Railroad ave-

business and the other side was in bad

The witnesses examined were r. Z. Aims

young man who found the remains after

story told by him TO a Post-Intelligencer
reporter on Wednesday.
The Jurors are representative business
men. There was a question as TO who are
the real owners OF the property. so the

BONES UNDER a TREE.
Melody Choir Finds the Remains OF a
Old Inhabitant.


Many conflicting claims have been set
up as TO the original settler in Seattle but
Melody Choir thinks he has settled the
dispute beyond all question by digging up
a lot OF human bones from a mound d.
rectly underneath the stump OF tree six
feet In diameter. Twenty years ago Mr..
Choir felled the tree. which he says was
800 feet tall. AS there was no sale for the
magnificent trunk, he occupied nearly
month in boring il, burning it and getting
IL out of the way Recently he has con-
which He's on Madison street opposite the
Jesuit college, as q sort OF truck market,
where gardeners and farmers may sell d.
rect from their own wagons, and with this
end in view he has been clearing up the
ground. To get rid OF the giant stump was
not an easy task, and he had 10 dig cir
GUAR excavation twenty-five feet in cia-
meter and five feet deep.
The tree had grown on mound. and d.
rectly below the stump was the archaeo-
logical treasure which Mr.. Choir IN
earthed. It consists Of a human skull and
bones, together with various implements
Of the crude stone age. such as arrow
points, small axes and the like. Along
with these was a lot OF charcoal. and from
the charred condition or the bones it may
be inferred that cremation was attempted.
Most OF the bones have crumbled 70 pieces,
but the skull is fairly we'll preserved and
OF unusual thickness. Mr.. Choir says that

COMPANY for Swanson's Death.
A coroners jury found yesterday that
John Swanson, who was run over and
killed by West street car on New Year S,
came TO his death through his own care
lessness. and exonerated the street car
company and its employees from all blame.
The jury, however. recommended that ths
speed Of twelve miles per hour be lessened.
The witnesses consisted of the motor
man and conductor in charge OF the car.
several passengers and an old man named
Jacob Van Glider. The testimony OF the
car employees and passengers was similar.
all agreeing that the car was going at a
slow rate Of speed all the way down the
hill and before Swanson was struck. They
all saw Van Glider in the center OF the
track waving his hands wildly. but
thought he was signaling the car 20 stop
enough 10 get on. They did not see Swan
son lying on the track beyond.
Van Glider, the man who was trying to
take Swanson home, furnished the most
interesting testimony of the hearing. lie
is an old man and speaks broken English.
In telling his story he often became ex-
cited and wanted to lie on his back and
show the jury the exact position OF Swan
son before he was struck and when he was
under the trucks. Coroner Askam would
often interrupt him and request that he
give his answers differently, but the old
gentleman would say, Now, you hold on
until / get through"
He said he saw Swanson first on New
Years day shortly after o'clock on the
corner of Blanchard street and First ave-
nue., lying on the sidewalk in an intoxi-
Gated condition. He walked over TO where
he was and shook him. Swanson said,
Hello, old man. VIII you take me homer
Witness said he would and started with
him toward the water front, and then out
the West street track toward Ballard.
After walking some distance the headlight
of West street car hove in sight and Van
Glider tried 10 push Swanson off the track,
but the latter broke away and said he
would take care Of himself Van Glider
then began to shout at the top OF his voice
and wave his hands, and Jumped OF the
track just in time to escape being run
