Death in Troy.

Mrs. Jennie Brice, widow OF the
late DR.. Brice, died at her home IN
Troy Tuesday night at $50, of an
illness lasting Tor svera1 months of
cancer. Mrs. Brice was born Seps
TENDER 6, 1910, therefore a little
more than 81 years Of age, a woman
of lofty character and intellect and
and a companionable neignbor and
friend. She was the daughter OF
the late James S. Moffatt, at the
time of his death one of the oldest
and most influential merchants in
the county, and known far and
near for the charm of beautiful,
noble spirited girlhood. At very
early age she became a member of
the Associate Reformed Presbyte-
rian Church, a consecrated devout
Christian through all the years of
busy lite. In the happy golden
youth she was united in marriage
to Dir. Walter Brice, d gentleman
of character and learning, after
wards a physician and editor of
reputation. They reared a large
family of children, the Doctor pass
ing away a few years ago. The
writer remembers many pleasant
hours spent at the home, beauti-
full site among the spreading
beeches; indeed, it seemed such a
place as John Howard Payne might
have dreamed about when his wan
deriRgs prompted the dear old song
of Home, Sweet Home" Such
was the influence of this good
woman's life upon everything
around her. God, in his infinite
goodness, has released from suffer-
ing and called her immortal soul to
the home of eternal happiness and
rest.
The services were held Wednes-
day afternoon at 3 o'clock at the A.
r. P. Church in Troy, conducted
by the beloved pastor, Rev. II. p.
PRESLEY. The burial took place at
the Troy Cemetery.

Injunction Refused

A new phase was put on the Duck
town Copper Company injunction
case Monday when an order made
by Judge Allen was received. He
holds that the remedy of the in
jured parties is by action for dam
ages and that he will not allow the
injunction heretofore issued to
stand. This position is taken by
Judge Allen for the reason that
about 5000 people are dependent
on their work as source of liveli-
hood, while the complaining inter
ests on the smoke nuisance repre-
sent only small part Of the COM
munity. Judge Aliens ruling is
made under an act of the last Leg
islature, where in an action of char
acter it rests within the sound dis
erection of the court when the work
is one of public utility, whether he
shall abate the nuisance or not. If
it determines not to do so, it is
matter for jury to determine the
amount of damages.
There are already about seventy
damage suits docketed against the
two copper companies, which the
companies are willing to settle on a
fair basis or purchase OF the land
at a reasonable figure.
