After an experience on declining

and an acute illness of d week or
/ ten days which was intensified BY d
fall, Mrs. Dorcas Anding Chiles
| Davis, the beloved wife Of MIR. w
W. Davis. died at the family home
near Grange Hall last Friday after
noon, March 3rd, surrounded BY
husband and many other loved ones
who had faithfully watched at her
bedside and hoped III vain that the
last sad parting might be stayed
yet a few years or months longer.
Mrs. Davis was born near the
spot where she died on Feb. 5, 1885.
and SO had but little while passed
her 18th anniversary. She was a
sister of the late Frank Anding and
Rev. Isaac A. Anding of Summit,
and a member Of one Of the sturdi-
est and most extensively connected
families in this portion OF the
State. She was q large hearted,
tender, sympathetic, good woman
and her whole life was d benedic-
tiun to the community i'd which it
was spent and shed its benefcent
influence upon all who came within
the radius of her acquaintance.
Mrs. Davis was twice married.
Her first husband was the lamented
Jos. e. Chiles. and the second w.
Wood Davis. her aged companion
who survives her; both true and
noble men worthy of the affection
of such d woman. She was never
blessed with any children of her
own, but her great. loving mother
heart reached out in tenderest
affection to the orphan and more
than one motherless one knew her
mother love and care and lives to
bless her memory now.

the Caseyville and Union Church
country in scholarship, eloquence
and Cody conservation had been
requested by the family to conduct
the funeral services and was assist
ed by the young pastor Of Philadel-
phia Church. Rev. T. J.. Furness.
All denominational lines were for
gotten and Baptists. Methodists
and Presbtyerians united with one
accord in honoring the memory BIT
the beloved dead. Messrs. MclD.
ferguson, ]. I. McInnis, Al. b.
Middleton, Neil Brown, w. M.
Higdon and S. S. Applewhite acted
as pail bearers.
DR.. Grafton read the beautiful
story of Dorcas in the 9th chapter
of Acts and took a few verses Of
this story. specially applicable to
the dead Dorcas lying in her flower
covered casket before him as his
text. 1t was a beautiful and ten
| der tribute and moved to tears
many who knew the departed and
listened.
The services in the church ended.

right here SO many find their greatest
trouble. The fermenting, undigested
food stays in the stomach and bowels,
impairing the nerves and blood, giving
rise to .sallow complexion. headache, sour
stomach, bad breath and often serious
Affections like skin diseases.
All this is due to impaired digestion

ANOTHER hEIRESS
MARRIES A TITLE


London, June 10.-Fashionable st.
Georges Church, on Hanover Square,
was the scene yesterday of another
international matrimonial alliance,
when Miss Mildred Carter, a beautiful
American girl became TIE bride of
Archibald Charles Montagu Brahazon.
Viscount Acheson, eldest son of the
fourth Earl of Gosford and descend
ant of a long line of Irish notables.,
The ceremony was witnessed by
diplomats representing II the impor-
tant nations of the earth, the brides
father John Ridgely Carter. having
long been secretary of the American
Embassy in London and highly popu-
lar in diplomatic circles. He is now
envoy of the United States to the
Balkan ountries-Roumania, Bull
garia and Servia-and makes his resi-
dence in Bucharest.
st. Georges, where the marriage
rites were performed, is a veritable
temple of Hymen and has been the
scene of many aristocratic weddings.
Colonel and Mrs. Roosevelt were mar
ried there nearly twenty-five years
ago. Five years ago Viscount Ache
sons sister, Lady Alexandra, was mar
ried to the late Earl Derby's son at
the same church. The demand for
seats at yesterdays wedding was so
great that many were disappointed.
The stream Of wedding presents was
almost as great and magnificent as
those received by Viscount Maidstone
and his bride, Miss Drexel, who were
married in London Wednesday.
Like Viscount Maidstone, the Wis
count Acheson is an eldest son and
will inherit an earldom upon the
death of his father, the Earl of Cos
ford The founder of this noble fam
lily of Ireland was Sir Archibald Ache
son baronet of Gosford, County Had
dington who lived during the first
part of the seventeenth century He
obtained a grant of large estates in
the countries of Armagh and Cavan
Ireland, and considerable property in
the province of Nova Scotia. Other
and later ancestors of today's bride
groom received titles of Baronet OF
Nova Scotia, 1913; Baron Gosford
1875; Viscount Gosford, 1855, and
Earl of Gosford, 1906. The title Of
Viscount Acheson dates from 1S47
The father of the bridegroom is the
fourth earl and was long lord of the
bedchamber of the Prince of Wales
