MRS. LUCY A. CHAMBHSS.
This Life Last Wednesday
March 31st.

Lucy A Chambers was born on
Feb. 5, 1848, and was married to
Mr.. B. F. Chambliss Jan. 30, 1868,
by Elder James J. Davis, to which
union was born five children-Lilla,
Joseph, Franklin, Charlie and Rosa.
Mrs. Cham'bliss was a gentle, low
ing companion, kind and tender
mother ever ready to wait on and
attend to the wants of her family;
a kind and obliging neighbor, ever
ready to assist when occasion re-
CURED a faithful and true member
of the old-line Primitive Baptist
church, true to her profession, al
ways ready to contend for the prin-
ciples and practices of the church.
But alas! her race is run, and her
work on earth is done. All that was
mortal of her has gone the way of
all the earth. On Mrach 20, 1911,
at about o'clock, she quietly de-
parted this life, leaving a host of
friends to mourn her death, and on
the Goth, after services by the writer,
she was laid to rest in Chickasaw-
hatchee church cemetery by the side
of her husband, who preceded her
to the tomb 80 years ago, to await
the resurrection morn, when her Re-
deemer will come to gather His own
from the four winds of the earth to
carry them home to rest from their
troubles forever.
Now, dear children, kindred and
let us not weep as those
without hope, for she was blest of
the Lord with a good hope in the
dear Redeemer through the resurrec-
ton to home in heaven. We know
that she cannot come back to us,
but we have the hope of going to
her. May the Lord bless children,
kindred and friends abundantly with
grace and strength to become recon-
ciled to our surroundings. Farewell,
mother, sister, neighbor and friend
w. T. EVERRITT.

TERRELL's GOOD ROADS.
Mr.. Jennings Is Building Some Very
Excellent Highways.

Editor Dawson News: wish to
say something in regard to our road
superintendent, Mr.. Riley w. Jen-
nings, who is one of the best super
intendents that we have yet had. He
is doing some fine work, and Terrell
county will soon have the best roads
of any county in the state. He is
building about eight miles of road a
month, and also has an extra crew
who go over the roads and repair
all of the bridges and fill in the
holes until he can get there with his
road building crowd. Then it is
fixed so that it will last for some
time. Mr.. Jennings has about half
of the force that was formerly used
by the county.

Paint Adulterated 76 Per Cent.

Devoe knows what the paints are
all made of, you know; he has to.
In Wilson, N G, are two dealers. One
Of EN- thinks he can't sell paint
for more than 81 a gallon; the other
wont have such stuff in his store
sells Devoe lead-and-zinc, of course.
The 81 paint is adulterated rs per
cent; Devoe is all lead and zinc and
linseed oil, with as little good dryer
as possible. A gallon Devoe has in it
a little more paint than four gallons
of the other. A gallon Devoe will
cover as much as four of the other.
Who wants to pay wages for paint
ing four gallons for one?
How much is Devoe lead-and-zinc
worth in that town? j. A. SHIELDS.

What Defendant Says.
Mr.. E. R. Daniel, a we'll known
farmer OF the northern part of the
county, has filed through Attorney
II. A. Wilkinson suit in the City
Court against Mr.. w. A. McLain for
$1,000.
1t is the largest damage suit that
has been brought in Terrell county
in long time, and has created much
interest, especially in automobile cir
cles.
1t is alleged in the petition filed in
court for Mr.. Daniel that as he and
his wife and children were returning
home on Sunday afternoon, March
18th, they met Mr.. McLain in his
automobile near Pleasant Hill, and
the mule they were driving became
frightened and ran away, going over
an embankment and striking a tree.
Mrs. Daniel and one of the children,
1t is stated, were thrown out of the
buggy and injured, the formers
clothes damaged, the buggy demoI-
ished and the qualities of the mule
impaired.
The items stated in the suit are
$40 for Doctors bill, $40 for damage
to clothing, 500 for damage to the
buggy and harness, and $500 for i'm
pairing the value of the mule as
buggy animal besides which the
plaintiff suffered great vexation,
mental pain and worry, and anxiety
because of injuries to himself, wife
and children"
1t is also alleged that the driver
of the automobile disregarded the
signal of the plaintiff to stop, and
approached without sounding bell or
horn.
What Mr.. McLain Says.
Mr.. McLain, who regrets the oc-
currence, states that it was unavoid-
able. He says the accident hap
pened at an embankment near a bend
in the road, which made it impossi-
Bile for him see that anyone was ap-
preaching; and, besides, two auto
mobiles that were a short distance
ahead of him had met Mr.. Daniel
without his mule becoming frighten-
ed, and he had no reason to believe
that his machine would scare the an
/ imal
/ Mr.. McLain stopped and rendered
what assistance he could, and offer
| ed to take Mrs Daniel and children
| home in his automobile.
