GOOD AND TRUE AND FAITHFUL.
Well might any-of any hue of skin
delight to have this said of them in
life, and to know that it would be writ
ten on their bier in death. Such has
been said, and the same is now written,
of Annie Carter, Familiarity known as
"Aun' Mary" for many years the pre-
siding genius of household duties at the
home of Mrs. w. Mcdonald Lee, Ir-
vington. Death claimed the faithful
creature somewhere in her sixties)
on Saturday afternoon last after a long
suffering from the grip, eliminating
the day prior in pneumonia of both
lungs. All that tender and affectionate
hands could do for the faithful NANNY
was done in the household and by neigh
bors and by the sorrowing husband,
Joseph Carter, who will toll few more
days, or a few more years at best,
without the wife whose devotion was
simple and childlike. Indeed, the love
and Christian spirit of old Aunt Mary
could well be envied by many in higher
walks of life. She had no enemies,
was devoted to those she served and
was beloved as one of the family.
Many tears from white lids worn red
as well as colored ones, fell when hei
spirit departed in peace to its Maker
and when the clods fell on Monday
through wintry breezes at the Doggett
burying ground. Her spirit is at rest
and all will miss her here.

Cannon CAN
STAND PAT

Attorney f. J. Cannon of the
Northern Pacific would not say to-
day whether or not he will attend
the grade separation meeting of the
council tonight. 1t is the general
opinion, however, that he won't be
there.
Corporation Counsel Hamblen's
opinion that the ordinance should
be changed to permssive instead
of mandatory form will be sub
mitted and the council will be left
to do as 1t wishes with the or
dinance If Cannon doss not APP
pear. on-participation on his part
will leave 1t up to the city to pro-
coed with grade separation or
leave it alone. II it proceeds, the
ordinance will have to be in manda-
tory form in order to compel the
company to do the work. A per-
missive ordinance will be subject
to the companys acceptance.
This leaves the situation where
Cannon can afford to still stand pat
and await developments
Where the accomplishment of
grade separation is coming in is
still to be developed.
