DEATHS.

Mrs. Mollie Grimes, widow of tn
late VIM. S. Grimes, died at her hom
on Duncan avenun, Friday morning
of heart trouble. She was the daugh
ter of Silas and Elizabeth Ewal
Hedges, and in her 63rd year. She i.
survived by two daughters, Mrs. R
@. Talbot and Miss Elizabeth Grimes
both of this city.
Mrs. Grimes was a model Christian
woman, and loved by all who knew
her. She was a devoted member OF
the Christian Church and her faith
was impressively shown by her good
works. She was woman of means
and known throughout the commu-
nifty for the many acts of charity she
was continually doing. She was of a
bright disposition and at all times
had a good word Of cheer for every
one she met. She will be missed by
her devoted family, her church and
the community at large. 1t is the
passing of a noble Christian woman,
whose memory will be cherished until
the end Of time by all who ever came
in contact with her. 1t should be a
great comfort to her daughters to
know that the world was made better
by the life of their dear mother, and
that she is now only reaping the re-
ward of all true believers in Christ.
There was a large crowd Of friends
in attendance at the funeral, Sunday
afternoon, at the residence. Elder
J. S. Sweeney, her old pastor, and
Elder B. 20. Hagerman, of Lexington,
each paying beautiful tribute to the
life of the departed. The pall-bearers
were: w. H. Mcmillan, R. B. Hutch
craft, George Alexander, J. T. Hin
ton, j. B. Kennedy, ;. II. Ewalt,

Mrs. Mayme KenneS rguson,
wife of j. w. Ferguson, die at her
home on Main street, Saturday after
noon, at 4 O'Clock, of Bright's dis
ease. She was aged thirty-two years
and a daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. M.
A. Kenney. She is survived by her
husband and one son, VIM. Kenney
Ferguson; one sister, Mrs. @. A.
Weber, and two brothers, Walter
and Clarence Kenney.
We do not know how to. express it
better than to use the words of Mrs.
Ferguson's physician when he said,
Sin her death Bourbon county loses
one of it's sweetest women" She
was of a retiring nature, devoted to
the home life, and admired by all OF
her acquaintance. She was beau
tiful young woman, loving wife and
tender and affectionate mother and
daughter.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ferguson had only
recently moved into their handsome
and elegant home in this city, and it
does seem strange that one so young
and beautiful, with her useful life just
budding, should be cut down by
death. But we cannot fathom these
mysteries, trust and believe in Him
"who giveth and taketh away" ano
surely all will be well.
