as any woman I have ever known
The tear of sympathy was ready
to flow at the recital of others
sorrows. She was the daughter
of DR.. Barnes who lived near
and north of Mooresville. He
was man of few words, and
very modest and retiring, an ed
ucated physician, but too timid
to follow his profession. Mrs.
Fulton was twice married. first
to Dennis Lindsey, a fine and
dashing young man. Soon after
their marriage in 1860, as my
memory serves me, the war
clouds hung like a night shad
over the land; and the young
husband volunteered to fight for
what he and we all believed to
be the right, and came home
sick and passed into the great
beyond. One son was the prod
uct of this union, who still lives
somewhere in the West. After
the war she married w B Fulton
who was himself a widower with
two girls, and who raised his
children and her son here in our
midst and passed away some
years ago. Since then Mrs. Full
ton has lived in Tupelo, but had
been for some time with her
neice, Miss Josie Luton, as ev-
erybody here knew her, though
now married. There Mrs. Fulton
was taken sick and died. She
will long be remembered by those
who knew her, especially those
who came in close touch with
her. Her hand was ready to
give any assistance in her power
to any needing help. Kind and
affectionate in her family, true
to her church and loving toward
her Savior. What more could
be said, or what more would any
one wish said? She verified the
truth that it is a much more SOL
emn thing to live than to die.

In March, 1871, | moved from
Fulton to Tupelo. 1t was but a
short while till I knew every one
in town men, women and chill
dren. Tupelo was a mere village
then, and when anybody was
sick or in distress or want we all
knew of it, and all were ready
to fly to their assistance. l my
self have spent many nights
waiting on the sick. Every
body seemed attached to every.
body else lA the town and we
seemed better posted about each
other then without paones than
we now are with them. Some
beautiful October or November
day, amid the haze of the au.
tumn sun we would gather in
troupes in the bottoms to hunt
the scales and hear the chatter
of the squirrel as he enjoyed his
dinner, and jumped from branch
to branch and from tree to tree,
coming home as the sun began
to pass toward the western hori-
zon, loaded with hickory nuts,
wild grapes and muscadines.
Now you can't get into the woods
in bottoms for the wonderful un-
dergrowtn, and scales are all
gone, the spokemen having got
ten the trees, or they have been
used for firewood. When the
the hand of affliction came and
the death angel brooded over a
household, the watchers were
there from every part of town,
and when a funeral or burial
took place we were all there to
assist
Our town that was has grown
into a city now, and death comes
and burials take place W hen we
know not of it till it is mentioned
in the papers or some one tells
us after the loved ones are de.
posted in the tomb. Such a bu-
rial took place last Saturday
when Mrs. Jennie Fulton was
laid to rest in the old cemetery.
1t is true she died away from
home, and was brought mere fo1
interment. But she was buried

Impending sleam.hip War.

London, Jan. l0.-Sbippiug circles
we're greatly interested today in tele-
gram printed q the Manchester Dispatch
saying. 1.-The moving OF the White Star
Line TO Southampton foreshadows the
collapse OF the shipping trust j Pier
pont Morgan will soon retire, and the
trust will be reconstructed under White
Star control. The White Star line will
buy the allied companies at an easy figure
when the collapse Of the trust occurs, and
thus establish itself in the position Of
Offering formidable front 10 it's rivals.
1t was learned by the correspondent
of the Publishers Press that TIE source
of this statement is In German shipping
circles.
Both the Hamburg Am erican and
North German Lloyd lines are opposed
to the removal of the White Star line
from Liverpool to southampton. They
are Suspicious that the trust Intends to
break with them, and they hope, by
secretly spreading reports detrimental
to the trust, to bring Bruce Ismay, head
Of the trust, and Morgan into serious
disagreement, thus interfering with the
efficient management of the trust and in
crease the business of the German lineS
In shipping circles the belief is grow
ing that the shipping trust will not dis
solve. but that it will not continue much
longer to guarantee dividends to the Ger
man lines. leaving them to shift for
themselves. In this event the enemy of
the iast German bats would not be the
trust with its comparatively slow yes
sells, but the Cunard line with its new
ocean greyhounds, and it is predicted
that lively rate war between these lines
will follow.

SCHOOL BOOKS,

A sensation was caused yesterday upon
the resumption of the school book invet'
tigation by the legislative committee in
Richmond R. o. Bell, of the Bell Book
and Stationery Company, declared that
State Librarian j. P Kennedy had been
paying much more for hooks to the firm
Of Putnam aud Son, of New York, than
the same books could be bought for at
retail in the local book stores.
Immediately after he had left the
stand three employees Of the state Ii.
brary were called, aud these witnesses
not Only bore out The contention OF Mr.
Bell, but declared that Mr Kennedy
had remarked that Putnam e Son had
offered him 81, 500 to write history OF
Virginia. 10 this connection witnesses
declared that Mr.. Kennedy received
check for $500 from Putnam * Son on
account of the history he wAs 10 write,
but returned il because be had net de-
cided whether TO attempt the undertak-
ing.
Mr. Bell quoted insiances in which the
Stste had paid 81 so and 81 for books
which the Richmond houses retailed tor
so cents, and on which 3S cents bad
been quoted in other competitions. Mr..
Bell declared that his firm and other
firms wished to bid, but were not given
the opportunity.
Librarian Kennedy WAS at Harrison
bury, but Chairman Byrd telegraphed
him to come to Richmond today to
testify.
2. i. Patterson and G. V. Meredith,
both member OF the school board, we're
placed on the stand 10 the afternoon.
Mr.. Meredith said that the library
board was merely igurehesd 10 the
matter. The superintendent Of public
instruction prepared the lists, he said.
and then turned them over to the libra
rian 10 make the purchases. Kennedy,
be said, was given carte blanche to make
purchases. and that he acted as agent
for the board and was alone responsible.
Mr. Kennedy. wher interviewed ia

report that the Potnams wanted him TO
write history Of Virginia, it sas abso-
lutely false, az be has never been ap-
preached By representative OF that
iirm with any such proposition He
was asked BY an sgent Of another cou'
Germ to write such a history, but declined
on the Ground that he dida't have the
time TO undertake it, wishing to give
bis whole time to the State library.
