Henry Wuellner, secretary Of the
Pierz Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance
company, informs us that the claim
of John Leidolt, who lost a valuable
team in the fire of the American house
barn in Little Falls, has been adjusted
by the officers of said insurance COM
pany at $3.50, full amount insured for.
Many different opinions were ex-
pressed, whether Mr. Leidolt had a
right to draw his insurance or not
the horses not having been burned in
the barn on the premises. Now Mr..
Wuellner, secretary of the company,
requests us to state in the Pierz news
that the policies of the company are
silent on the question, that if horses
insured in the Pierz Farmers Mutual
and are killed by fire or lightning, the
owners are entitled to the amount
insured for, whether killed in the
barn on the premises or elsewhere.
He says a farmer cannot let his horses
stand in the barn all year round in
order to secure the insurance in case
they are killed.

MAY DAY
Celebrated at The M. and F.
Very Attractive Entertainment

The Fetching of May" at the M.
and F. High School last Friday was Cne
of the most attractive entertainments
which the school has had.
The friends of the school were invited
at ten o'clock, and the sunshine of May
morning in spite of the uncomfortable
change in temperature gathered an au-
dience which filled the small chapel. The
first part of the program was carried
out by Miss Reed, with the pupils of
her department. There were four songs
which the children sang In the happiest
spirit Miss Julia Miller, Miss Trannie
Sandidge, Miss Dexter English and Miss
Mary D. Patteson. each had a recitation.
One of Riley's most characteristic pieces
was given very naturally by James
Herriford.
After a brief pause the program of
Lyrics and music was begun. AS Mr..
Ohlenmacker played the Bridal March
from ''Lohengrin" the doors in front
were opened and the Queen and her
attendant entered from the campus with
"garceful step and slow" They came
through the aisies formed of ropes of
laurel, and took their places in a
semicircle around the Queen Miss Madge
Rosenfield and her maid of Honor, Miss
Elizabeth Rowe. Miss Rowe's manner
was charming as she gave Lyric call
ed the Birth of May. The poem with
the two which followed was written
for the occasion by Alexander Hynd
lindsey of New York, beautiful lines
in which the Queen responded after
having been crowned were marks OF
the poets artistic genius. Miss Madge
Rosenfeld gave two Lyrics, Miss Mary
Miller four; Miss Lucy Lowe
three taken from the classics of short
English verse. Mr.. Ohlenmacher then
played Moskowski's germany" and
the young ladies went into the ribbon
seats reserved for them. The germany
was finished as solo.
Miss Mary Williams played schergc
from schubert, and her first appearance
since coming under Mr.. Ohlenmacher'
instruction showed the careful training
she has had under him. Grieg's "But,
terfy" was played by Miss Martha
Hancock. The Rustic of Spring by
Miss Margaret Todd and Miss Lima
Rosenfeld sang merry Maiden Spring
from Mcdowell.
The entire program was in touch
with the beauty of the spring and the
spirit of it was tribute to the nativity
of May.

MRS. MARY M. GARNETT.
One of CoIumbia'S Most Prominent
and Highly Respected Ladies
Called to Her Reward. z
FUNERAL SERVICES LARGELY ATTENDED

Tuesday night April %, 1903, at 11;30
the spirit of this estimable lady left its
tenement of clay and entered the ce-
lestial city prepared for those who walk
in the fear and admonition of the Lord.
Death had no sting, as it was known
and remarked by those who were init.
mately associated with her, that she had
cared but little for life since the demise
of her late husband, Judge Jas. Gar.
nett, though she has been surrounded
with the comforts of life, loved fondly
by her children, to whom she was per-
fectly devoted.
Mrs. Garnett was daughter of Bu-
ford and Frances Wood and was born
and reared near Edmonton, KY, hei
father being prominent in the affairs
of Barren and Metcalfe counties. She
was educated at Georgetown College,
and in 1866 she was happily married to
Judge Jas. Garnett and for forty-two
years she resided in Columbia. When
the end came she was 81 years and -four
months old.
Her life was that of true Christian
woman, taking much interest in relig-
ious affairs, and especially was she de-
voted to the Baptist Church of which
she was member and had been since
she was sixteen years of age. Her
children, her brothers, the Church anC
this entire community has sustained q
great loss, one whose place in the home
can not be filled and whose counsels ir
Church affairs will be sorrowfully miss
ed.
But why mourn for one whose life
was spotless, and who was great suf
ferer here? Skill could not eleaviatt
the pain, though every thing that loving
hearts and tender hands could do, wa:
done. The children who are sorely dis
tressed should take comfort in these
words, "There is no death for then
who walk after the manner of Gods
teaching" 1t is only transposition-
from world full of sin and pain-tt
