Mr. Charles J. Burton died at his
home in this place at 9:45 O'Clock
Monday morning, Jan. 14th. The
end was almost sudden and coming
so unexpectedly the announcement
OF his death was n great shock to his
friends. Mr. Burton had not been a
sound man physically for year or
more but his appearance and man.
ner did not betray the fact and out
side OF his physician. and himself few
persons knew his constitution was
being rapidly undermined. Saturday
he was attending to business as usual.
Sunday he was not feeling well and
stayed about the house. Monday
morning just as he was preparing to
come up town he complained of an
oppressive feeling and laid down. A
physician was summoned but before
he arrived the sick man breathed his
last.
Mr.. Burton was about 43 years

Company, vice-president of the
Southern Grocery Company, direc-
tor of the First National Bank and
Hrrriet Cotton Mill OF Henderson,
and director of several other cor.
porations in which he was interested
elsewhere Mr. Burton was an active
and energetic business man, wise in
counsel and successful in his under
takings, and his Judgment was
valued and his advice sought by
those who had dealings with him. He
was a man OF unfailing good humor
courteous in manner, congenial in
nature, affable and approachable and
was exceedingly popular with all who
knew him. A true friend, a valuable
citizen, a useful member of society
and a heightened Christian gentleman
the death Of such a man is to be sin
cerely mourned. Mr.. Burton was q
member of the Baptist church, loya
in it's support and strong in the faitf
that he protested.

BURIED CANDLES
 IN SACRAD GROTTO

Rome, February 3.-The Tribuna. In a semi-official communication concerning the recent fight between Franciscan, Ar nenian snd Creek monks in the Sacred Grotto at Bethlehem. says that on Janu- ary 22 an Italian Franciscan monk went to bury candles in the grotto. Armenians who were officiating at their altar pre- vented him from passing, and attacked and felled him with sticks. Other Fran ciscans rushed to the rescue of their companion and in the great fight which ersued one Italian, one Spanish and three Armenian Greek monks were wounded
 The Italian consul at Jerusalem went to Bethlehem and opened inquiry. The Armenians say that the quarrel began be- cause the Franciscan monk insisted on passing to burn his candles without wait ing for the Armenian ceremony to end The inquiry made by the local authorities was favorable to the Latin monks, and the Italian consul is now seeking to have the guilty persons punished

ROMANTIC MARRIAGE.
Insurance Agent Writes Policy for Mrs.
 Price and Wedding Follows.

Athens, Ala, February 3-A rather TO- mantle courtship was ended here today by the marriage of MT. J. w. Hughes of Blountsville, Ala. to Mrs. M A. Price of Lentzville, in the west part of the coun- ty The marriage was consummated at the home of Mayor Clements, who is himself a minister and who performed the ceremony. MT. Hughes was former pupil of the mayor and came to him as the one man whom he knew in the town to aid him in his efforts at winning one of the finest women of the county as q helpmeet.
 MT. Hughes is state agent of the Mis- souri State Life Insurance company, and came here a month ago and went to Lentzville to see Mrs. Price, who is a wealthy merchant and farmer of that part of the country, and wrote her a poi icy. He returned two weeks ago to de liver the policy and collect the premium. and while with her fell madly in love with the handsome and popular lady and proposed marriage and was accepted, and today they came to Athens, where the ceremony was performed and the two happy people left for St. Louis on a bridal tour
 Mrs. Hughes has for some years been known as one of the finest financiers In the country, and has besides taking care Of a family of children, managed to buy number of valuable farms and pay for them. She has run a large and we'll man. aged mercantile business which supplied the country surrounding her for miles with all the merchandise demanded for the territory. She was left a widow some years ago with several children. She is among the largest taxpayers in the county.

Gold Production

The American producing gold dis tricts are still led by Cripple Creek in Colorado, which turned out $1S,000,000 last year. It has yielded s25,00o,00O in a single year, and production of about $20,OO0,O0 is expected from 1t every year.
 Alaska, Colorado and California are our Big Three in gold production. and when the years returns are all at hand 1t may appear that Alaska leads all the rest, and the Klondike also. The mines in Canada are not holding their own, while those of Alaska are increas- ing their outputs.
 The production of the United States Is now just about round S100,000, 900 g year. This Is a great sum, but the Rand will do still better, it being the chief producing section of the world. It's production in 1906 will be about $125,000,000, or something more than the production of all American fields in all the Americas.
 The output of the world has crossed the $400,000,000 line, something the world never did before, and the trusts, the standpatters, desire us to think that the high cost of living is trace able in the last analysis in the increase in the production of gold. Ten years ago the worlds yearly production did not exceed $2OO,OOO 900, and twenty years ago it did not exceed $100 100000, and 1t must be admitted that a four fold expansion in gold production must have some effect on prices.
