Messrs. Klaw & Erlanger, the
New York booking agents, were
notified of the growth of Colum-

class shows, and they have book

has always shown a preference
for comic operas and musical
comedies. and special effort has
been made to secure attractions
of this character. This effort

and large number of the most
famous New York successes
along this line are included in
the bookings.

SAD DEATH OF MRS. ANN E. FRANKLIN
The Gentle Spirit of One of Columbus Oldest Citizens
Takes Its Flight Into the Great Beyond.

After life, which ia its span
surpassed man 5 allotted time on
earth; after filling nobly and well
life s highest and holiest mission;
after a long and eventful career
distinguished for its loyalty and
devotion to her home. her family
and her friends: after having
lived to see her hopes and am
bitions for her children realized
in the fullest measure, the gen
tie spirit of Mrs. Ann Franklin
sank peacefully TO sleep last
Wednesday morning al her home
in this city at about half past two
O'Clock. To the loved ones and
devoted friends who watche d
patiently and lovingly at her
bedside the end had been appar-
ent for days. Following a gen
eral decline in health which
dates back many months she
was taken i'll Thursday preced-
ing her death and was forced to
take her bed. Her strength and
vitality gradually wasted away
until the end. Surrounded by
her sons and the other members
of her household she fell asleep,
the awakening of which is the
Resurrection.
Perhaps, no death in Colum-
bus in long time has brought
greater sorrow than that of Mrs.
Franklin. Known to all of our
people, manifesting at all times
a deep interest in the affairs OF
this community, a devout and
loyal member of the First Bap-
tist church; identified with all
of it's work and charities, she
came in contact with all classes
and her friends were numbered
among all men. The announce
ment of her death brought forth
expressions of sorrow from all.
Mrs. Franklin was in her
eighty third year. Born in
March, 1882, at Winchester,
Tenn, her life covered a long

period of the country's most in
tereSting history. She was the
daughter of Argyle Cam pbell
and Lucinda Young, representa-
tives of leading families of Ten,
nessee and at an early age with
her parents she moved to Moul
ton, Ala. and thence to this city
where she had lived for seventy
years. In 1888 she was married
to DR.. S. S. Franklin, Of Colum-
bus and of this union nine chill
dren was born, all of whom with
her husband have preceded her
to the grave with the exception
of Hon. T. B. Franklin and Hon.
NJ. A Franklin, both Of whom
now occupy prominent positions
in the affairs Of this State.
The funeral was held last We'd
nesday afternoon from the First
Baptist church which was
crowded with sOrrOwing friends
who gathered to pay last mark
of loving esteem to her memory.
The church was draped in
mourning and the alter was bank
ed with many beautiful floral of
ferings attesting the love and
sympathy of friends. The ser
vices was conducted by the pas
tor, Rev. w. A. Hewitt and was
simple and brief. The deacons
of the church, Messrs. W. n.
Pickett, F. NJ. Jacob, j. L. Wal
ker, A. A. Wofford, S. d. Lee, j.
A. Goree and T. O. Burns acted
as honorary pail bearers and the
active pail bearers were MessrS.

Will Inspect Routes This Week.

Mr.. w. G. Watson, superin.
tendent Of free rural delivery for
this State. is in Colum bus for the
purpose of inspecting the three
routes for which petitions have
been fled in this county, the two
routes running from Colum ous
to the Waverly and Prowell
neighborhoods and the route
running from Bent Oak to the
Billups and Humphries farm
neighborhood. Mr.. Watson will
spend the week engaged in this
work and while the merits of the
routes cannot be passed upon in
advance of their inspection he
believes the mum Der of people
who they will serve will justify
the esta blishment of the service.
With these routes installed
Lowndes county will be one of
the banner counties of this dis
irict from the standpoint of free
rural service and every section
of the county will be receiving
a daily mail with the exception
of a small district near Artesia.
This. no doubt. will be finally
served and thus the county will
be fully covered by this modern
feature of the postal service.

Government Strengthened.

st. Petersburg, Nov. %. The pres
ent lull is giving the governments little
breathing spell. The strike faseo and
the passing of the Polish crisis have
certainly temporarily strengthened the
hands of the government. Practically
all danger Of the necessity for dealing
with an armed uprising in Poland is re-
garded as over, and martial law will
probably be abolished at the end Of the
week. The immediate question con-
fronting the cabinet is the electoral
law. Premier Witte and his colleagues
have almost reached the conclusion to
base the elections practically on uni
versal suffrage. A member of the cab
met who may be considered to reflect
the views of the premier, said today:
'"The extreme wing of the liberals
still insists on fighting wind mill when
they express fears Of a return to the
old regime. That has passed forever.
The emperor's step is irrevocable. The
reports that his resolution has been
shaken are absolutely without founda-
ton. Nevertheless, the country must
be saved from anarchy and strong mea-
sures like those measures instituted at
Chernigoff, Saratoff, Tamboff and Pen
"a, must be taken where the occasion
arises. Neither in Russia nor abroad
need be the slightest fears that the
government desires to retrace its steps,.
