VICTIM OF PNEUMONIA.
The Ravages Of. this Fatal Disease
Claims ThoS. E. PAUL, a Well
Known Druggist Of
Columbia. Z
DIED ON 18th ANNIVERSARY OF HIS MARRIAGE.

chronicle the death of one of the best
known citizens of Adair county, res
ident and business man of Columbia for
more than twenty years Thos. E.
PAUL, who was friend to every body
and every body was his friend.
He was a son of Henry j. and Lati-
tia PAUL, and was born in Cumberland
county, near Burkesville, January 81,
1856. He was married to Miss Lena
Marcum, of this place, December II,
1886. He died December IL, 1907, a
victim of pneumonia, being sick only
one week.
He made profession of his faith in
Christ in 1895, united with the Baptist
Church, living consistent member un-
til the end came.
Coming to this place from his native
county when quite young man, he en-
tered the drug store of his brother, Mr..
r. F. PAUL, as clerk. He was very
alternative to business, and in a few
years purchased a half interest, and
six or eight years ago he bought his
brothers interest, and very successful
ly conducted the business until the day
heAwas taken SICK.
In business, he was exceedingly DO
lite, his manner clearly showing that he
took pleasure in obliging his friends, in
fact, every person who visited his store.
He was universally popular, and his
death is not only serious blow to his
wife, children and relatives, but to the
whole community.
His time was divided by two. Dur
ing business hours he could be found at
his store, and when not at his place of
business he was with his wife and chill
dren-a husband and father.
Aside from the companion of his
bosom and his little children, all girls,
Mr.. R. F, PAUL, his brother, is the
greatest sufferer. Since boyhood
erich" and ''Tom," as they were IA
miliarly called, have been inseparable-
like Damon and'Pythias property
of the one being free to the other: when
one was sick, the other was in mis-
cry until health was restored, hence it
will be a long time before the surviv-
ing brother will become reconciled to
the death of the one who has departed.
The funeral services were held in the
Baptist Church Thursday forenoon at
1890, conducted by the pastor, Rev. ].
G. Cook, assisted by Eds. W. K. Azbill
and 2. T. Williams, the speakers pay
ing, beautiful tributes to the dead.
In testimony of the high esteem in
which the deceased was held, the church
was crowded with friends, many being
from out of town.
After the services the casket, cover
ed with flowers, was conveyed to the
city cemetery and there deposited
where the body will rest until the res
direction morn.
This community deeply feels for the
sorrowing wife and the three fatherless
little girls, though they are left in COM
Portable circumstances. Around the
freside the little ones will receive the
proper training, and as they advance in
years, may the 'Giver of all that is good
keep them in the hollow of His hand.

hibernates, except that from time to
time she will lap the icicle which Is
made by the freezing Of her breath on
her paws. She ventures forth as soon
as the snow has sufficiently melted to
permit of her getting about and for
several days will eat nothing but hem

as a physic. When in her normal
state Of health again she is ravenous-

Five years more elapsed, and again
the friend met her.
They tell me you're growing rich,
she said.
"Ye-es. but I'm anxious about the
stock market. My husband has $4,000
in stocks. and he thinks they're going
up. but I'm not so sure about it. In
deed, 1 didn't sleep wink last night"
Five years later-another meeting.
From what hear your husband
will soon be a millionaire"
"Oh, l don't know" said the wife,
He hasn't more than half a million
yet. And II Is so tied up In all sorts
OF investments--one never knows how
they will turn out. I just wish we
had enough to put the money in gov
ernment bonds so that we wouldn't
have to worry But Of course the in

absurd notions about the amount of
money we havei One crank has even

ing to shoot him just because he is
rich. declare, sometimes I'm so wor-

story a happy ending, but that isn't

lived, and she never ceased to be un-

when she forgot all about it.-Bohe-

UNPRECEDENTED.-A Pelham man or
extensive business enterprise recently
had occasion to buy a mule-a real,
live, no-joke, sure-'nuff animal, to help
in the hauling. The market was
searched for a mule, and at last a
likely beast was found for sale by a
local colored man whose veracity had
never been assailed. The price fixed
was not too high, as mule-prices go,
The mule was bought, accordingly,
and paid for, with the sellers accom-
panying guarantee that the mule was
sound and kind. Four days later the
mule lay down in the stable yard and
died. The seller was sent for and an
explanation demanded. Here is the
mule you guaranteed sound only four
days ago; he simply died." exclaimed

The seller scratched his head a minute
and answered slowly: Il dunno, boss;
he never dun dat befo'." The purchase
money has not been returned.-Phila-

Financial Prosperity and Its Worries

Once upon a time a young man and
a girl loved each other fondly. He
was poor, but bright, energetic and
rersevering. She was pretty, cheerful
and amiable. They married. Their
friends thought they might have Wait
ed until their prospects were better
but they laughed prudence to scorn.
Two years after the marriage the
wife met one of her friends.
How are you getting along?" asked
the friend.
Very nicely" said the wife, beam
ing. MY husband Is so good, and
have such a lovely baby. And, just
think. we have $1,000 in the bank, and
we don't owe a cent to anybody"
Five years later the friend met her
again.
81 hear you are doing very well"
she said. Some one told me your
husband had $4,000 invested in real
estate"
why, yes" said the wife, but it's
such a worry. There are repairs and
taxes and interest on mortgages, and
one of the tenants has just moved out
owing us a whole months rent. Isn't
it a shame?"
