d Food and clothing are the two great
requisites OF the natural life. Cloth
ling is the second necessity. The
#three services of clothing are protect
zion, decency, and ornamentation. In
dbe Bible there are almost numbcrlcss
INSTANCES of the employment OF dress
for the expression of spiritual truth.
I'VE have such phrases us clothed with
Humility, the robe OF Righteousness,
%he garment of salvation. into which
as meant 10 be borne all that Oriental
slress. means with regard TO complete
tness of covering and what might be
called dignificd grace
In our text. "meeEncss and quiet.
ispcss OF spirit" are the qualities that
spre contrasted with that vanity which
1lcnds 10 the adornmcnt of the body;
lnaktng adornment of the body the
lchicf object OF concern.
In our modern times much OF our
dress is for show, not for protection,

gwen decency does not have as much
consideration as would seem TO be ad.

Dom Pedro l., Emperor of Brazil.
was one of royalty's strong men. On
the occasion of a carnival he arranged
matters so that he was standing on the
bow of the royal barge between two of
his stateliest courtiers.
Suddenly, in the midst of the festivi-
ties the King reached out, grasped a
courtier with each hand, and, after
holding them for a few moments
squirming in the air and begging to be
released, he relaxed his grip and al
lowed them to drop plump into the
water, amid the frantic applause of tn 4
huge crowd that had assembled to view
their monarch. The King joined heart
lily in the general hilarity; but what
the drenched courtiers thought about
this exquisite joke is not recorded

Senior Counselor of the former. He was married in this city in December. 1876 to Miss Elizabeth Matthews Daw- son, who preceded him to the grave amny years ago. Besides his two sons. Drs. Dawson and John N. Furniss. he leaves a number of relatives to mourp his death. During his long life he was identified with many useful movements of a public and eleemosynary character.
 Was Fund of "Reminiscences.
 He was probably one of the best and most accurately posted man as to oc- currences historic and otherwise within his experience in this city, recalling with wonderful exactness of detail oc- currences that less alert men had for- gotten. His fund of "reminiscences and recollection was astonishing.
 He was an omniverous reader. his re- search covering an almost universal field of information. He delved into many subjects practically unknown to the man of average learning. He was widely versed in classics. He possess ed leaning toward scientific investi- gation and was particularly learned in botany and geology. What he knew he knew most minutely and correctly. and his enthusiasm for life and learn ing undoubtedly had a material infiu- ence upon the unusual preservation of his faculties. His rigid Integrity and his devotion to his family and friends were also equally marked traits of his character. He was broadly Presbyte- rian in his views of life and religion maintaining the highest conceptions both, of his relations to his fellow men and to his Creator.
 Funeral arrangements cannot be made until consultation with Dr. Daw- son Furniss, his son. who Is in New York. However, the funeral services probably will be held Sunday afternoon.

 His death came as the result of a gradual sinking from a complication of diseases. from which he has been suffering for several months. For the past few weeks Dr. Furniss's strength has been gradually diminishing and his death was not unexpected.
 In point of service Dr. Furniss was the oldest member of the local medi- cal society and enjoyed wider per uonal acquaintance than any other man in the city His life has been one of earnest effort and true of pur- pose. yet at all times unostentatious His work whatever its nature, was done in a painstaking and methodical manner.
 During the early part of August pr. Turniss went to New York to visit his son, Dr. Dawson Furniss. and while there was seized with the complica- tions which terminated In his death. He was brought to his home in Selma and since that time continued to sink until dissolution came.

 In 1907 the deposits were S30, ,7S5.- S3S.95: in 1908, the panic year, the deposits were s26.11s.05s.04: The loss is attributed to fear on the part Of the rural depositors. for most of the state banks are in rural districts
