IN MEMORIAM.

Mrs. Susie Cole. wife Of G. w,
Cole. prominent citizen Of Okolona,
was born in Chickasaw county Dec.
3, 1866, was married January 9TH,
1881 and died in Okolona July 6,
1908, after brief illness.
The community Of Okolona who
knew and admired her were shocked
when her sudden death was announ-
ced, and to no one Of her friends
more keenly than the writer, who
has known her from childhood. her
father, the late Frank Stamford. having
been associated with him as his CON-
rade and friend up to and during the
Civil War unto the day Of his death.
Mrs. Cole was a lady loved and
admired BY all who knew her. As d
girl she possessed not only the charm
Of personal beauty, but the winsome
ways most precious to her young LADY,
hood. In her matured womanhood
she was conspicuous for the christian
virtues that won the love Of all who
came within the spere Of her influence.
Although surrounded BY all the COM
forts and luxuries that wealth and
social pleasure could give, she was
without vanity or ostentation and as
easy Of access to theRhumblest as the
proudest Of her friends. Utterly uu.
selfish, she gave her FIRST thoughts to
those she loved. and the magnetism Of
her nature naturally drew to her the
best elements Of society, where they
found her the most amiable and hos
pitable hostess and agreeable Of friends,
in whose face pleasant smile Of vel
come which bespoke heart Of SYM
pathy for their griefs and cares.
As daughter she was obedient
and respectful; as sister, kind and
afectionate; as q wife, loyal and
devoted to her husband; as mother,
the paragon Of all that was loving and
tender in the care Of her children; and
her duty as wife and mother. which
above all things else were the objects
Of her highest ambition tA
When life seemed fairest and the
delight Of beautiful, LOVING home
we're all that heart could desire, she
was Unexpectedly ca led awsy from her
sphere Of usefulness. And while il
may seem to US that her work - moi
completed, yet we must take comfort
in the knowledge that God knows best.
He doeth all things we'll" This much
we can say the world is better for her
having lived in it. and we know she
was always ready. Her true christian
life and character gave her a passport
across the dark river to that mansion
Of bliss, where the tree Of life ever
lastingly casts its shades over the
sweet fields Of Eden. now her home,
Like a beautiful dream she has
passed with the summer night YET will
she live in memory while The mccking
bird sings Her requiem and the Aow-

she reposes.

WILL TAKE CERTIFICATES
Clearing House Paper May Be
Traded for tom Show"
Tickets.

There was a heated debate in the
rooms of the Press club of Salt Lake
City yesterday afternoon over the
proposition as to whether or not clear
ing house certificates should be accept
ed in exchange for Tom Show tick
cts. 1t was argued that the production
is going to be so good that only hard
money should be accepted from pat
rons On the other hand, the state
rIent was made that if the club could
get together a bale of clearing house
certificates ii would be in~first rate fin
ancial condition.
Finally the previous question was
moved and the motion to accept the
certificates was adopted. This news
will doubtless cause rejoicing in many
homes where clearing house certificates
are all that stand between the inmates
and the wolf. Following the club meet
ing rehearsal was held.
The rehearsal was in every way sat
isfactory, and at its conclusion H. L.
A. Culmer, the stage manager, ar
nOunced that he was much pleased
with the progress made Hereafter he
rehearsals will be held on the stage of
the Majestic theatre, which the man
agement has generously rendered to
the club.
As heretofore announced, the "Fom
Show" bigger and brighter than ever,
revised and brought down to date, will
be presented in the Salt Lake theatre
on the evening of Feb. 3.
