AN AGED LADY
BURNED TO DEATH
Miss Nancy Robertson Per
ished i'm Flames.
SUPPOSED CAUSE.
The House Destroyed by
Fire.
Lived Near Gray COurt-Occurred nj
Midnight-Liyed AlOne--12 Miles
from Here.

Miss Nancy Robertson, aged seventy
odd years, was burned to death Mon
day night in the destruction of her
home by fire. She lived on tract of
land, in which she had life estate,
which was rented by Mr.. whitley, in a
house of ante bellum construction,
about one hundred yards from the
house occupied by Mr.. Whitley and
family. The fire was discovered about
twelve o'clock Monday night by Mr..
Ieno Wilson, who was sitting up with
u sic't relative. He fastened to the
scene and aroused Mr.. Whitley. When
they reached the burning house they
found it entirely ,enveloped in flames.
1t WAS too late to rescue the lone in
mate, or save any of the contents.
The afternoon before, Mrs, Whitley
carried Miss Robertson, as was her Gus
tom, her evening meal. 1t seems she
was engaged in quilting, having on
on hand large quauity of batting. The
lamp she used was without a chimney.
Besides there was II great deal of other
inilammible material in the house.
The reasonable supposition is that in
some way the batting caught from the
lamp, and Miss Robertson suffocated
before she could escape or give the
alarm. 1t is easily conceived that her
clothing may have caught from the
burning batting, thus preventing her
exit from the house.
1t is said Miss Robertson's bones
were eXhumed yesterday.
She had lived alone for years.
Mr.. John Robertson aud Mrs. Dock
Armstrong of this county are her
nearest relatives.

drive last Sunday" "I don't know, "
says ], but deep down in my Lcart |
'e!t sure that In that suggestion a dead
sure clue had been uuearthed. Be
cause, Tom you know is tho negro boy
that tends our cattle and hasn't got
much horse sense. He is a big, burly,
dashy, hustling negro, with no better
IDEA of what mule can stand than an
ape might have. Besides, up to last
sunday Tine was young widower and
had Tor some months past been court
Ing certain dusky damsel, having
made one or two futile efforts to elope
with her. Had [ thought of all this last
Sunday when he asked me for a mule
L certainly should have denied him.
But as fate would have it d.dn't think
OF 1t and the mule is dead. found by
inquiry that he had borrowed a buggy
from neighbor, hitchcd my mule TO it
and driven six miles down to Center
Rabnn, caught up his prey and had
hled away ten miles to Fountain Irn to
get Notary to tie the knot that holds
and losens the two together or asunder
rs circumstances may suggest, then
four miles back home. This is not a
long drive, but when we consider all
the circumstances in the case and how
frightened negro might speed in
case of e!opement, we concluded that
we had logically traced from effect
back to cause, and that, the party be-
Ing insolyent, the only comfort left us
was to write up the bymonial and the
obituary. Thus:
Married on Sunday, September 81 at
O'clock, Tone Ch'ldress 20 Miss -,
= =, Notory Public, officiating.
Died, on Tuesday following, being
the 20tt day of September, old Bill,
Tone Childress being accessary to the
deed.
But no; further inquiry has devcl-
oped the fact that Tone drove George
and not Bill, and that George shows
no signs of maltreatment nor is he any
the worse by having aided and abetled
in the elopement So Tone is married,
acquitted and happy. But old Bill is
dead all the same.

written, "Out Of the abundance of the

The fact is to be plain and short,
Old Bin is dead. He's sure dead. He

one OF the few mules that would mind

you all about Old Bill. got him from

here nor there now, Sc the mule,
he's dead. lie came up Monday eve

as he had often shown signs of all

Next morning found him still with

In treating sick horse is to turn him
out and let him meander for himself,
and guess it's about as good luck as
any since [ have lost only two i'm
thirty years under this treatment, hav-
ing kept from five to seven most of the
time. But on this special occasion, be-
ing 1t was old Bill, my wife would have
me drench him. This did early in
the day and he went on until night
seemingly doing as well as if it had not
been done. Thus encoura led she in

which did of course. But to her dis

do him great hurt. He wrlthcd and

service on September, 9th, in memory
OF DR.. j. A. Martin. A goodly number
of people attended, and to be there
was to know how they loved and rev.
erenc"d their pastor and organizer OF
their society. 1t was with sad Joy that
we paid him these last respects. lie
was q noble type of Christian man
hood.
Whereas, The Reaper Death has
borne hence one whom we loved. We
feel that he is only gone before to that
Be'tor Land, and there "Life's journey
done we hope to meet and greet him
and spend eternity together"
Resolved 1st; That ia his seemingly
untimely death we feel that the Hand
of God has sorely sm.ttea, yet we bow
in submit: sion, knowing. that He who
holds our destinies Is "too wise to err.
too good to willingly atfi!ct.
End: That we extend to the bereaved
family and friends our tender, sincere
in this sad affiiction.

from resulting in pneumonia. 1t is also

cough Is not dangerous when this rem,

other harmful substance and may be
given as confidently to a baby as to an
adult. 1t is also pleasant TO take.
When all OF these facts are taken into
consideration it is not surprising that
people in foreign lands, as we'll as at
