Mrs. Mary BrickIe.

1t is with profound sorrow that
The Commercial announces the
death of Mrs. Mary Brickle
which occurred shortly after
three O'Clock Saturday afternoon
from heart trouble, Mrs. Brick
ell had been i'll for about three
weeks but her condition had not
been considered to be serious un-
til Friday night when she had a
severe attack, and then another
when relieved by death as above
stated. The deceased was the
widow of the late J. M. Brickle.
She was about seventy years
old and had resided in Columbus
all of her life. She was con-
sistent member of the Presby-
lerian church and had been so
from early childhood.
Mrs, Brickle leaves to mourn
for her one son, Mr.. j H Brickle:
a sister, Mrs. Henrietta Long.
and a large number Of warm
friends with whom she has been
closely associated.
The funeral will be conducted
from the residence on South 4th

WANT TITLE
IN FEE SIMPLE
And will Not Accept Property
In Any other Way.

Postmaster John t. Wood is in
receipt of a letter from Congre s.
man Gambler in which he says he
had called at the Department in
regard to the postoffice size in
Columbus and was informed that
under no circumstances would
the government eccept anything
but a bona fide, absolute title in
fee simple. That therefore it
would be necessary to secure the
site selected by condemnation
proceedings or for the legislature
to pass an act authorizing the
owner to convey an absolute title
to the property, but that they
preferred not to take condemna-
tion proceedings and would
await the action of the legisla-
ture. 1t is safe to say thai the
legislature cannot and will not
do anything; hence the matter
will remain as it now is.

Doan's Kidney Pills and when she be-

she had taken three boxes, she was as
well as ever. Ineyer hear her complain
of headache, pains in the back aud

that the people of this city learn
ed of the death of Mrs. Louise

of Mrs. Annie Lee Sanders,
which occurred at their home, 1103
Main Street, at 1917 O'Clock
Thursday night from organic
heart disease,
Mrs. Lee had not enjoyed good
health for some time but none of
her friends had al idea of the
seriousness of her condition. In
fact she was not taken critically
i'll until Tuesday, but from that
time until her death no hopes
were entertained by the physi-
clans for her recovery.
Mrs. Lee was fifty-one years
old and she had resided in Col
umbus for many years. She was
a consistent member of the Epis-
copalian church and did much
for the relief of the poor and
needy.
Besides a devoted husband and
loving daughter she leaves two

for her.
