 For five years Rev. MT. Jones re- | mained a pastor In the Methodist Vert circuit. He was next stationed at the Second Methodist Church of Rome. then went to the Newborn Cir cult and later was given the church at Monticello.
 About 1880 he became agent for the
 Methodist Orphans Home at Decatur, and for number of years remained there. While stationed at Decatur he frequently had buslness which called him to Atlanta and it was then that he met so many of the people of this city. He often preached there and in
 a snort time became very popular clergyman.

tions of Montgomery sent telegrams | of coincidence yesterday to Mrs. J. Ad- disOn Hayes, the only daughter or Mrs. Davis and severui floral designs | were expressed to Richmond where the body of Mrs. Davis will be inferred. The news of the deatn of Mrs. Davis was received with much concern at the State Capitol. Although there was no official observance taken of the de- mise of the wife of the late President of the Confederacy. the passing away of the woman so loved by all the South was spoken of frequently in nearly every office in the old State House. Historic memories connect the name of Davis and the Alabama Cap itol. and it was not strange that the death of Mrs. Davis should have been received with universal sadness.
 Owing to the absence from the Cap itol of Governor Jelks. who Is attend ing the State Fair in Birmingham, no action was taken by the office of the chief executive. An order to the Uni ted Sons of Confederate Veterans. which also might have been looked for. was not promulgated, owing to the ab- sence of pr. Thomas NJ Owen. Com mander in Chief of the organization. Dr. Owen Is also in Birmingham.
 The ladies of the Memorial Asso- citation of Montgomery took cogni- zance of the death of Mrs. Davis in fit- ting manner. At the direction of Mrs. NJ D. Blob. President of the Memorial Association, a beautiful floral piece of the design of the cross and the crown, was purchased. and sent to Richmond. Va. by express. to the funeral of the former 1rst lady of the Confectionery.

The Butcheries of Peace

Mr.. Frederick L. Hoffman, Of the
Prudential Insurance Company, has
declared that the annual rate of fatal
accidents in American cities is be-
tween eighty and eighty-fve in each
100000. On a basis of O.0O0. 900
people in this country, that would
mean that $1,000 people in America
lose their lives every year through
accidents. According to the same
authority, some 1,664,000 persons
are more or less seriously injured
every year, while 1900, 900 more re-
ceiye wounds of a less serious char
acter. Now, the two great armies of
the North and South with all their
implements Of destruction were able
to kill only G2,112 men a year.
which is a lesser number than perish
in time of peace through accidents.

Daniel PEI kins was a man OF few
words, and man of true worth and
courage, says the author of ''The Log
of Sea Angler" Early in his life
he was the skipper of coal schooner
which traded up the coast from Bos-
ton.
on ogunquit a gale struck the
schooner so quickly on one trip that
before anything could be done the
vessel was over and going down. and
Daniel was thrown into the water,
ten miles OF shore in his oilskins.
He managed to get out of the OIL
skins. and then, taking his bearings.
started to swim to ogunquit.
Captain Sam told me the story. A
friend of his, 1t happened, was going
to Boston in his schooner. He had
reached Boon Island. and was bowl
ing along at a good clip when he
heard hail.
Hold on, will you? want to
come aboardt"
The skipper was Struck all Of a
heap" as Captain Sam said. for there
was not a sail in sight nearer than
aye miles, but he iammed the tiller
ever and came up into the wind, and
nearly ran into Daniel Perkins,
How are ye, Daniel?" said Cap
tain Sam. (which way ye goin'?"
Why. was going home to ogun-
quit, but If it's all the same I'll come
aboard"
So Daniel swan up to the quarter
and Captain Sam hauled him in. He

in the water nearly half a day. but
Captain Sam said. HE didn't seem
tuckered, and would have struck the
coast somewhere between Portsmouth
and York Beach. sure"
