WY AsHiNeToN, Dec. Pit is
w currently reported in diplo-
W matte circles that Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts
will succeed Whitelaw Reid as am
bassador to Great Britain. 1t is said
the post was offered to Senator Lodge
a year ago by President Roosevelt
The plan to make Senator Lodge am
bassador fell through at the time be-
cause the senator, while not abso-
lutely declining, induced MIR. Roose-
welt to hold the. appointment in abey-
ance. Even now Senator Lodge may
not be wiling to accept the post. His
senatorial term will expire March q
1911. There is no doubt that PresI"
dent Taft would be glad to send the
senator to London If he could be in
duced to accept. There Is growing
belief that, with the retirement OF
Ambassador Reid, James Bryce, the
British ambassador at Washington,
will also be recalled. The British
government is reputed to be merely
waiting to see the type of ambassador
that the United States will send to
London before new representative
at Washington Is selected.

Wagon T Talk F!

Some Reasons Why Farmers and
Others Should Use the Best Made
Wagons to do their Hauling:
First. You will save money to buy
the best wagon that is put up. In
doing this you also save time and
other loss.
For example: You buy an ordi-
nary two-horse wagon for $45.00,
and this looks cheap enough and
looks pretty well. Now, then, add
the interest on your money to the
repair bills and time lost, and we
ask you what Is your answer. We
venture to say that you are paying
20 per cent per annum, and yet some
people say that they are not able to
buy good wagon; and If you are
not really able, the reason for it is
that you have paid 1t out to the
blacksmith.
Buy a MILBURN WAGON, manu-
featured by the Milbl,rn Wagon Co.
1t will cost you around $4,000. Every
part Of the wagon Is guaranteed for
twelve months, and we give 1t 20 you
in writing.
Add the interest on your money
to the repair bill for five years and
cost you over 10 per cent per annum
Tor everyday use you can run the
MILBURN WAGON every day for
three years cheaper than you can
run q lower grade OF wagon one year.
An old wagon that begins to go to
the shop Is dear property, and If you
will allow yourself to make some
figures on it, you will agree with us
that 1T is better to make firewood Of
them.
We have now on hand a full car
load of MILBURN WAGONS, and
they must go in the next four
months. Our prices and terms a-e
right We mean business and will
trade IL you know values.
We carry these Wagons in stock

DEATH OF MRS. j. w. sHELoR.
A Patient Sufferer for Years, She
Passed Away Last Friday.

Mrs. Elizabeth Hix Shelor, wife of
j. w. Shelor, of Walhalla, fell asleep
last Friday afternoon at 4.50 o'clock
at the family residence on Hunter
avenue. Mrs. Shelor had been in i'll
health for twenty years, aud for the
past four years had suffered constant
ly and intensely from a complication
of diseases, which medical skill and
attention seemed unable to relieve
She had been to several hospitals
and under the care OF specialists at
various times, but at best the relief
given was but temporary. Only two
weeks prior to her death she was
taken to Columbia for treatment by
specialist, but after being there for
a few days he advised that she be
brought to her own home, where she
might spend her few remaining days,
as was her wish, with her loved
ones in her own home. She arrived
here Tuesday, and on Friday after
noon peacefully passed away.
Mrs. Shelor was So years of age,
having been born December Sth,
1855, at Fair Play, this county. Her
maiden name was Elizabeth HiX, she
being daughter of the late William
j. and Harriet HiX. On February
27th, 1888, she was happily married
to Joseph w. Shelor, who with two
children, survives her. Four chill
dren were born to them, two having
died in infancy. Mrs. Shelor was q
grandniece Of Governor B. f. Perry.
In early life she was soundly con-
verted and united with the Baptist
church, of which she was a consist
ent member until her death. Her
life bore constant testimonial to the
truth Of her religion and the sincerity
of her Christian profession. Mild,
gentle, always loving and tender, her
nome life was a constant benediction
to the members of her family and
those neighbors whose privilege it
was to know her intimately. Her
suffering was constant and great,
covering a long period of years, yet
she bore all without complaint.
Death came to her as welcome vis-
itor, relieving her weary body from
the, bonds of pain and suffering, and
releasing her gentle spirit from it's
mortal home for it's flight to that
"house not built by hands, eternal in
the heavens.
Mrs. Shelor leaves her husband
and two, children, Miss Hattie and
II. B. Shelor, one step-daughter, Mrs.
""iNei' anu "iue cllcle ol
relatives, to mourn her death.
On Saturday afternoon at 4 o'clock
services were conducted by her pas
tor, Rev. l. w. Wingo, d. D., at the
pavilion at the Baptist cemetery, af-
ter which the body was tenderly low
cred to the grave in the presence of
large concourse of sorrowing
friends. In their great sorrow the
bereaved family have the S. mpathy
Of the entire community.
