Obituary.

Died, Mrs. Chas. McNeal OF Chap.
man, May IA. The deceased was
born at Warren's Corners, N. T.,
in 1924, making her 70 years Of
age. Her maiden name was Emily
Warren. At the age Of 22 she was
married to Chas. McNeal with whom
she lived happily for 81 years.
Her family consists Of a husband
and two sons, James and William.
In '84 the family came to Kansas and
located near Sutphens Mill, but in 'S7
left the farm and moved to Chapman
where they built home and have
since resided. This fond wife and
mother was held in high esteem by
all who knew her; was general
favorite in the community. She was
from childhood a great student Of the
Bible, which was her choice Of all
literature. Her spare moments, with
the book in hand, were seasons daily
welcomed and were those Of delight.
She was faithful, true to the church
and Sunday school, always in her
place and ready to do her part. A
chair made vacant remains In her
home. The family will miss her wise
counsel and example, but in memory
will, perchance, retain enough to
cause each one to reach out and Sc
cure that better part which was ever
the browning secret of the mothers

MAY NOT HAVE TO WAIT.


LAW
1t lie possible that the couples d.
vorced this week may be able to marry
before six months expires. The gen.
eral statutes Of 1868 in relation to
divorce proceedings was amended by
the legislature OF 1881. In 1889 the
legislature again amended the divorce
law and put in the six months clause
but in making the amendment went
back to the amended law Of 1868,
which had been repealed by the law
Of 1881, and therefore the legislature
amended a law not in existence. The
court Of appeals held in the case OF
the State ex rel. vs.. Blush that parties
to divorce suit were husband and
wife for six months after the decree
Of divorce was granted. This point
will be decided by the supreme court
in June. II it is found that the six
months clause will not hold then
divorces will be absolute when the
decree is granted. II this is held 1t
will make some difference in regard
to property rights.

Southern BaptIsts in Savannah.

The Southern Baptist convention is
in session at Savannah. 1t had not
met in that city since 1861, and the
great church has grown astonishingly
in the intervening time. Delegates are
present in Savannah from fourteen
states, two territories, and the District
of Columbia. They come all the way
from the Rio Grande to the Potomac,
and In the list will be found ex-gov-
errors, and other men standing high
IN church, college or state-the best
of citizens in private as well as In
public life.
These men represent 19. 100 churches
and membership that includes H.
500 ministers and 1,674,10s communi-
cants. These figures are those of the
census of 1890, when the Southern
Baptists outnumbered the Southern
Methodists by about 100000 A south
ern church that has 1,67410S commu-
nicants is indeed a mighty force, and
it is a growing and aggressive force
also.
It Is often said that the cotton states
are half Baptist and half Methodist,
with a sprinkling of other denomina-
lions, and even If this be an exagger-
ated statement, it is at least certain
that there is no greater moral force
than the Southern Baptist church.
The Baptists are increasing in num-
bers in all Anglo-SaXon communities,
but perhaps nowhere are they gather
ing strength and numbers faster than
in the south. The 1000 delegates
present in Savannah attest the power,
numerical and otherwise, of this
church. Among the numerous organ
izations is the Baptist Young Peoples
Union, which is represented at Sayan-
nah by a large body of delegates. The
city by the sea has its hands full in
entertaining the delegates, including
those of the Woman's Auxiliary.

Sons Of Confederate Veterans.

The eighth annual reunion of the
United Sons of Confederate Veterans
will be held in New Orleans, begin
ming May 49, The time of the reunion
is near at hand, but still camps could
be organized before that time, SO that
they could be officially represented on
the great occasion.
Commander Thomas M. Owen calls
ulous county, full of the sons of Con-
federate soldiers, there is not a single
camp, and that unless one or more be
formed speedily the county will not
be represented at New Orleans.
He says very truly and plainly that
there should be camps, not only in this
city, but also in Bessemer, Pratt City,
Ensley, East Lake, Woodlawn, Avon
dale, Elyton, East Birmingham and
Jonesville. cate City and East Thorn
as and Cleveland and Powderly and
Huffman, and perhaps dozen other
centers should also organize camps.
Commander Owen stands ready to
supply all needful blanks and instruc-
tions, and all that is lacking is local
patriotism and enthusiasm on the part
of the sons of patriotic and enthusi-
astic sires. Many other counties have
camps of the Sons of Veterans, but
jefferson has strangely enough neg
lected to organize even one. This is
a reflection upon the county that
should be speedily removed.

The AUGUSTA Chronicle.

The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle has
been sold to Messrs. Thomas w. 10y
less and Henry H. Cabaniss of At
lanta. Mr.. Loyless is an editorial
writer on the Atlanta Constitution and
Mr. Cabaniss for many years has been
business manager of the Atlanta Jour-
nal.
From an editorial and business point
of view, there are no two cleverer
newspaper men in the south. The sue.
cess of these two gentlemen in the
past is ample evidence of the fact that
the Augusta Chronicle will in the
future be made one of the greatest and
best newspapers in the south.
The purchasers have ample means
to make the paper a credit to Augusta
One of the best and most prosperous
cities in the entire south.
