to be up after that, altho on the advice
Of friends he did undertake a trip to

but he was in too feeble state to rally
even under the influence Of the balmy
air and bright sunshine Of the south.
He remained there only ten days, and
since his return here six weeks ago ne
has been gradually sinking until the end
came Friday night.
Charles Kennedy Weldon was born
July u, 1881, died March 10, 1905 in his
24th:year.
He. leaves a wife and one child, a
bright little daughter one year old. His
wife was Miss Matte Lear, daughter of
Thos. Lear, of Tolu, and he was married
to her April IA, l903-less than two
years ago. Besides his mother he is sur
vived by two half brothers, Ed Weldon,
of this city and Newt Weldon, Of Tolu,
and one half sister, Mrs. Minnie Babb,
wife Of @. r. Babb, Of Salem, and on .
full brother, Simpson, Of this city, and
three full sisters, Mrs. Arba Hina. wife
G. b. Hina, Misses Lena and SaIlie Wei
don, all of this city.
The funeral was from the residence

donia and kelsey, a mining capi-
talist we'll known 10 this oommu-

in Louisville a few days ago.
Mr. McGraw had been sick sew
eral months of tuberculosis but a
week ago improved to such an 5x-
tent that it was thought possible
to remove him to his native CITY,
and his brother was notified. Mr.,
MoGraw's illness took a serious
turn Saturday night just after the
arrival of his brother and death
soon followed. Mr. McGraw was
forty-two years of age and unmar-
ried. He had been there only a
few months and had lived there in
order to improve a number OF pie
ces of real estate he owned in New
Albany. His remains we're taken
to Toledo, Ohio. of which city he
was a former resident, for inter
ment.
Another strong proof that our
mineral field in Crittenden county
is all right and that lead and zinc
assure veins csn be worked profit
ably, is that Harry Watkins and
K d Dreschsr have leased the Co.

the Mary Rells, the Mill and all
of the Columbia Mining oompa-
ny's pr perty. They expect to
sink more shafts on different veins
and run out more levels and mine
enough ore to keep the mill run.
ming night and day, Watkins and
Drescher are two experienced mi
ners, and we feel sure that they
will set a good example to some
other mining companies that are
in thiI section. They are both
hustlers. They also expect to oper
up several new openings on the
Mary Belle, and mine at least from
twenty five to fifty tons of fiuol
spar per day. We wish them al
the success their gre 1t undertak
ing deserves.
