Mrs. Mary A. (Simmons) Hollan, wife of
Bradford q. Bass, died at 3 o'clock Satur-
day afternoon from the effects OF the grip.
She was taken i'll the 10Th and grew 50 rap
idly worse that the following Monday she
was completely prostrated and from that
time failed steadily to the end.
Mrs. Bass, who had reached the age of
As years, was born in Detroit, Mich, but
later lived in Chicago, and it was in that
city that her marriage to Mr.. Bass oc-
Cured Nov. 8, 1898. Since then her home
had been on the farm al Bass mills a few
miles from this village.
She was woman who fulfilled to the
best of her farfrom- robust strength the
duties which life imposed upon her, and in
her last hours showed beautiful faith in
the loving mercy that awaited her.
In her sickness, she had the care OF her
husbands sisters, Mrs. G. A. Brown and
Mrs. b |. Pratt, and it was at the residence
Of the latter on School street that the
funeral service was held Tuesday after

READY FOR BUSINESS

The Senate was ready for any busi- ness that might come before 1t. when adjournment was taken last Thursday until today. The committees had been announced and everything for legislative purposes was smooth sail ing on that end of the Capitol.
 No doubt Speaker Martin will to- day announce the House committees. and then the regular work can, be en- tered upon with earnestness and zeal. While neither Lieutenant Governor Gray, who will preside over the Sem ate. nor Speaker Martin have ever had experience as a member of the Legis- lature. they are both able men and quick to see and seize point. They have the capacity to make satisfacto- ry and successful presiding officers.
 There will no doubt be a great many bills introduced of more or less radical character. but we sincere ly hope that the spirit of justice and wisdom will prevail on all subjects.

II
 Alabama people have good reason to be proud of our citizen soidiery. The great parade of yesterday served to emphasize the strength and efficiency of our National Guard and the body of men which passed through the streets of Montgomery would have reflected great credit upon any State or any people.
 It is doubtful If any State In the Union could show three thousand bet ter equipped. or more perfect train- ed soldiers than these young men of Alabama. They came from every sec tion of the State, from the lowiards where the salt water breaks on the shores of Mobile and Baldwin, to the fertile valley of the Tennessee. Their faces were full of health and vitality and their step was vigorous. They are indeed the flower of Ala bama.
 The cadet battalions from Auburn. East Lake Selma and Abbeville were an added feature of the military parade.
 A committee of Montgomery busi- ness men. supported by Governor Jelks and through the generosity of the rail- road companies succeeded admirably In making a military display, the like of which Montgomery never saw before. It was the proper thing to do. We congratulate the soldiers on their splendid behavior; we praise the cons mittee which made the parade possi- bie; we thank the railroad officials for their generosity.
