Special to News-D Democrat.
Massillon, Dec. 1.-The oldest resident
in this section of the county and prob
ably in the entire county, passed away
Thursday evening at o'clock. At that
hour Mrs Sarah Reed, aged 103 years,
yielded the ghost and passed to her re-
ward in the world beyond. Mrs Reed
was born in county Meade, Ireland, in
1896. She remained in her native coun.
try until. the Decoration day, 1881, when
she came to this country and to Massil-
Ion, where she has resided ever since
with her daughter, Mrs. Michael Bohan,
Of 391NVest fremont street. 1t was at
the Bohan home that the old lady died
after an illness of nearly eight years
duration from cancer. Up to the last
moment the centenarian's mind was
clear as when her cheeks glowed with
health in the early teens Of the present
century Her eyesght and hearing
were also almost unimpaired. 1t is
somewhat startling to think that had
Mrs. Reed survived but 32 days longer
she would have lived into the third
century of her existence-from 1896 to
1900. Her husband preceded her to the
grave 32 years ago. She is survived by
but one child-Mrs. Michael Bohan.
Five grandchildren and seven great
grandchildren also survive. The grand
children are Mrs. Sarah Luckner, Mum
cie Ind, John Clark, Peter Clark, Miss
Elizabeth Bohan and Mrs. Ellen Wag-
ner of this city.
Funeral services will be held at the
late residence Friday morning at 9
o'clock and at St. Joseph's Catholic
church at $3.50 o'clock. Interment in ST.
Joseph's cemetery.

A YOUNG BURGLAR.
Massillon, Dec. 1.-Sidney Kayler,
aged about 16 years, was arrested by

warrant charging him with burglary
and larceny. 1t is alleged that Kayler

mine of Warwick & Co.. and removed
a quantity of brass of considerable
value. E. e. Fox, manager of the COM
pany, filed the complaint before Mayor
Wise. Kayler when arraigned Thurs
day evening pleaded not guilty and
gave bond for his appearance Saturday
evening at o'clock for trial.

Busy Twelve Months.
The Importance of the close of one year
and the beginning of another is probably
realized more by the commercial world
than any other class, for the reason II
witnesses the closing of old accounts and
the opening of new ones, terminates ola
contracts and forms others. dissolves old
organiza tons and ushers in new ones.
The old year, which cloged yesterday,
from a commercial point of view, has been
one to which the business men Of Savan-
nah may point with pride, for through
their pluck and energy the trade relations
of 1898 have not only been increased In
1899, but new industries have been estab-
lished to add to the city's growing com
merce.
1t has been a year checked fun of
achievements for the wholesalers, who
have worked indefatigaby for representa-
lion in every nook and corner of the dis
trict with which Savannah deals. Good au-
thority has II, however, that the close
methods employed in looking after their
established trade relieves the wholesale
men largely of competition they would
otherwise have TO contend with. The ter
rito contiguous to the city has been well
canvass. d, IS it always Is, and while there
is nothing further than opinions and the
cheerful faces of dealers on which TO base
an estimate, II is safe TO say the volume
of trade for the year 1899 exceeds that for
1893. This is evident from the bank clear
ings, which exceed the clearings Cor 1898
by about 50 600, co., and much Of which rep
resents business done by wholesalers.
Probably the most important acquisition
to The citys commerce during the year Is
the shipment of phosphate rock, which
moves in large shipments from the mines
in South Carolina and Florida through the
port of Savannah. BY the schedule Of
monthly exports through the custom
house, It is apparent from the value Of the
phosphate exported through Savannah
during 1893 that takes precedence over
other products. Lumber has moved freely
IN response 10 a constant demand for Geor-
gia pine In the North.

SWEET APRIL LED THE VAN.
MORE MARRIAGES THAT MONTH
THAN DURING ANY OTHER.

In the Year 1900 There Were s25 Lii
censes Issued by the Clerk of the
Court of Ordinary to Couples Seek
ing Nuptial HaDpiness--one Less
Than the Preceding Kear--The
Record Regarded ms Good and ms
Indicative of Prosperity-Decem-
Der Ran April "a Close Race in the
Number of Licenses Issued--A Me-
gro Couple Established a Record
for Quick Marriages.
The success that has attended the people
of Savannah during the year now drawing
wooing, as is shown by the fact that Clerk
Kellbach, of the Court of Ordinary, has is-
sued g marriage licenses since Jan. 1.
True, this number is one less than the
total for 1893, but this Is explained by the
fact that in 1898 the good times for Savan-
nah began to come back, and good many
marriages that previous business depree-
sion and distresses had caused to be post
poned for many months, or even years,
were celebrated then, the improved for
tunes of the grooms-to-be making this
event in their lives possible Of consumma-
ton. The marriages OF this year, as ex-
planned by the genial clerk of the Court
of Ordinary, who is a long distance ex-
pert in thi. matter, are but the natural
crop springing from good times, plenty OF
money and the possession OF a moderate
expectancy as to ability to take on new
obligations.
This year the month of April led in the
number Of marriages, elghty-seven being
contaminated during its thirty days The
cynical may seek to ascribe this to the
popular legend connected with the first day
of that month, but ahe more good-natured
say It IS due TO the fact that in the
spring the young mans fancy, lighty
turns to thoughts Of love" with the added
explanation that the young girls fancy Is
likely to be similarly affected. December,
though. ran April a close second, eighty
two licenses being issued during this last
month Of the year.
A comparative statement of the mar
riages for the years 1898 and 1899. shows
that in the former there were 826 and in
the latter S25. During 1888 there were 291
licenses issued to white couples and in 1899
there were Isl; In 1898 there were 535 IL
censes issued to co.ored couples and in the
year just drawing to close 5il. The
number of licenses issued during each
month of 1899, with the number issued TO
white and colored couples respectively. Is
