why Dickens Lives.

Why is it that the sales of Dickens
works, in England alone, amount in a
single year to more than those of any
later novelist during his whole lifetime?
The readers of his novels do not lack in
telligence, and a good number of them
are of a sufficiently advanced culture
to detect his faults. But whatever the
higher criticism may disclose against
hin1- there still remains the fulness of
his robust human sympathy and that
mastery Of genius which forever holds
the mind even of children, as that of
Shakespeare's does.-H. M. Alden, in
Harper's.

MRS. JONES
Passes Away Monday After
noon After Great
Suffering.
Burial Took Place at Her
Old Home at Pee Dee.

Mrs. Garland Jones died at her
home on South Walnut street Mon
day evening. She was a victim Of
diabetes and had not been in vigor-
Gus health for fifteen years. She is
survived by her two daughters,
Misses Pearl and Lucy Jones, and
one son, Garland Jones, Jr. Mr..
Jones died in this city FEBRUARY 10Th
last. Tuesday, after a short service
at the home in this city, the remains
were taken to Pee Dee for interment,
where DIR. A. P. Lyon, with whose
church she had been worshiping
when able to attend since the family
moved here two and a-half years
ago, conducted the funeral services.
The burial took place in the family
burying ground on the farm of Mr..
Lee Hutchinson.
The deceased was born in Todd
county in 1849 and when quite young
was married to Mr.. Jones. The
greater part of their married life
was spent at their home near Pee
Dee, this county. Their married life
was ideal and both of them were de-
voted Christians. Mrs. Jones, who
was Miss Bette Houston, had re-
ceived liberal education and was
an omniverous reader in her early
womanhood and was lady Of high
literary attainments. The only book
she ever published was a novel, en-
titled Walter Raymond" 1t was
popular in its day, but the increas-
ing cares of motherhood prevented
her giving much thought to litera-
ture especially when her nervous sys.
tenn began to give away. AS a neigh
Dor, Christian and mother she won
the esteem of all who knew her. Dur
ing the many years of illness she had
the constant attention of loving
children and devoted husband up
to the time of his death, as well as
many friends.
