DEATH OF MRS. LUCY THORNTON IN
KENTUCKY.

Mrs. Lucy Thornton, who died at the
home of her brother, MIR. VIM. Beverly, at
Henderson, KY, was the widow of DR..
Churchill Jones Thornton, a son of Capt.
Reuben Thornton and Anna Maria WASH
linton, the grand daughter OF Charles
Washington, the presidents brother.
Mrs. Thornton and her husband were
cousins. Her mother was Sarah Ann
Posey, the youngest daughter OF General
Thomas Posey and his second wife (born
Alexander), the widow of Major George
Thornton, the son of Col. VIM. Thornton
and Jane Washington, daughter Of
Augustine, the presidents hali-brother.
Sarah Ann Posey was taken when a baby
by her mothers sister, Mrs. VIM. Fitz-
hugh, of King George county, who was
%childless. and raised by her. She married
Mr.. VIM. Beverly, of that county, a
descendant OF Major Robert Beverly,
who was chiefly instrumental In putting
down Bacon's rebellion in 1876, and who
wrote a history of Virginia that is still a
useful book. From the FitZhughs and
Beverieys, who were men of substance,
Mrs. Thornton and her children had IN
herited a handsome fortune, as we'll as
from the Thornton's, all of which was lost
in and soon after the war In Mississippi.
Mrs. Thornton had three children, a
daughter, Ruby, and sons, Clifton and
Churchill, all OF whom she outllved. She
was a fine type of the southern ladies of
the olden time, a type that is rapidly dis
appearing. She was about 76 years of age
at the time of her death, and was a first
cousin OF the late Mrs. Captain George
Wilson, of this city. Among the few
family relics preserved by her was a beau
tifnl cameo profile portrait OF DIR. Thorn
ton, that he brought from Rome, and a
miniature of her grandfather, Gen. Posey,
a rare, beautiful work of art in itself,
painted by James Peale in 1795, when he
was down In Virginia painting a minia
ture OF Washington of the same kind. A
ull-length oil painting of Washington,
that he himself presented to Gen. Posey,
together with a pair OF pistols surrendered
to Gen. Posey by the British commander
at the storming of Stoney Point, were lost
in a fire some years ago.

Daniel Webster in the famous White

that murder will out" This maxim has
been found applicable to many other

it to be true when there is alum in baking

who understand the harmful effect OF alum
on the system, are at a loss to know why
people continue to buy baking powders
containing it. All baking powders sold
for twenty-five cents a pound and less
contain alum. There is surely no econom
in using these cheap powders. For a pure
cream OF tarter powder, as DR.. Prices was
shown to be at the Worlds Fair, goes so
