SON NEAR HICKMAN.

Mrs. Mary Wade. aged about 70,
died last week at the home Of her
son. Win Wade. a short distance be-
low Hickman.
She had been Ill for several weeks
at the home of her daughter, Mrs.
Charlie Hill. near this city, but about
two weeks ago she thought she had
recovered sufficiently to stand the

that of her son. She made the trip
and contracted a severe cold which
resulted in pneumonia and ultimately
caused her death.
Mrs. Wade was one of the most
prominent ladies in Fulton county and
was widely known for her many
deeds of kindness. She lived a con-
secrated Christian life and was a de-
voted mother and kind neighbor
She leaves numerous relatives in Full
ton and vicinity as well as a host of
friends who are grieved by her de-
mise.-Fulton Commercial.

The increase in the dividend rate on

factor in the speculation. Following the

of cutting of prices of steel products and
of stagnant demand became factor in
