the lot sale next Monday after
noon. The location of this prop
erty, it's value and desirability,
will insure a large crowd being
present to bid in the bargains
which are to be offered.
Seven cottages have been cree
ted and are now occupied on this
property. and it has become a
neighborhood which has found
favor with the home seeker and
the investor as well. on account
of it's proximity to the manufac-
turing district.
The lots are to be sold at pub
lie auction. The title of the
property is as good as gold and
the terms of the sale are one
third cash and the balance with
in one year in monthly pay
ments, with interest on the de-
ferred payments. Long before
these lots are paid for their value

fold and this will insure a hand
some profit to all who invest.
The demand for cottages in
this section continues undated.
It is an ideal location for home
for the employees of the stove
works, the Cohoes cotton mill,
the rope and cordage mill and
it will be reached by the car line,
and will be close to the terminals
of the proposed Columbus, Mem
phis and Pensacola Railroad when
that road is completed It's geo
graphical location is such that
it is increasing in value every
day, and it will never again be as
cheap as it will next Monday.

warm and loving friends, who
will ever love to cherish her
memory. Oh, she was so good,
kind and affectionate to her hus-
bind and children, who will eyer
remember her towing ways.
In her home she always spread
around herself that soft light IF
love and pathy. She was al
ways dutiful and noble, a devotee
of the right. 1t was the Savior

wife and mother from The light

Death OF Miss NAT Morton.

"A sweet ana genLle life, that
knew only kindness and charity.
closed in that dreamless sleep
last Monday afternoon in this
city when the spirit of Miss Mat
Morton winged its fight into a
better world. The patient and
Borrowing watchers at her bed
side were prepared for the disso-
luton. For several days past
she had been at deaths door and
her condition held forth no hope
10 those around her. Gradually
the end came, a peaceful end like
the life which had preceded it.
This simple announcement will
bring the message of sorrow to
countless friends in this city and
elsewhere. friends W no h a d
known this good woman all
through the long years of her
useful and beautiful life. Seldom
indeed is the press called upon
to chronicle the demise of one
who was so universally loved and
esteemed, for in her death gen
tie hand is stilled, a holy influence
is ended and a beautiful life is
rounded into the full fruition of
all that is promised the good. the
true and just.
Miss Mat Morton was born
seventy five years ago of an
honored Georgia parentage and
at an early age moved with her
parents to this city which had
been her home ever since, her
death removing the last of four
children. OF her life here, her
work here it is almost Superfu-
Gus to speak for it was known to
ali. A devout and consistent
mem Der of the First Methodist
church, faithful worker in it's
Sunday school, a leader in all
charity and all that tended to up
lift and help afflicted mankind,
her memory will ever abide as a
blessing and benediction to all
who knew her. To her inspira-
ton and work is due largely the
beautiful custom of decorating
the soldiers graves, for she it
was who helped to establish this
touching tribute in this city
years and years ago.
She leaves large circle of
relatives and friends to mourn
her death. among her relatives
being her sister s children, Mrs.
L. II. Hatchett, Mrs. j. I. Sturdi-
want and Messrs. w. M. and
Chas. Evans with their families
and connections, besides legions
of Borrowing friends.
The funeral was held yesterday
afternoon from the old family
home in Southeast Columbus
and the large attendance bore
eloquent testimony Of the gener-
al esteem in which she was held
in this community. Rev. It. w.
Lewis was the officiating minis
ter and his tribute to the deceased
was touching and beautiful. in
which he emphasized the great
loss the church, the family circle
and the community has sustained
in her death. After the funeral
the body was bourne to Friend
ship Cemetery where it was laid
to rest the following acting as
pail bearers:
Messrs E. r. Hopkins, w. I'll.
