ALAMENTABLE DEATH.
Mrs. Georgia R. Shelton Sinks
to Rest Monday Afternoon at
Her Home. This City.
THE WHOLE TOWN IN MOURNING.

Monday afternoon, about the hour of
sun set, Mrs. Georgia r. Shelton, the
youngest daughter of the late Dr.. Geo.
j. Reed, d. D., and Mary Reed looked
upon home scenes fer the last time and
resignedly met her God. While her
death was not unexpected, it brought
sorrow to every household in Columbia,
as she was woman of a lovely dispo-
sItion, having lived a pure and Cody
life from early girlhood to the hour of
her departure.
IN 1864 her father removed from
Shelbyville, Ky, to this place, having
been called to the passionate of the
Presbyterian Church. At that time the
subject of this writing was one year
old. having been born March the second,
1868. 1t was here that she grew to
womanhood. and where she attended
TIE M. & F. High School until she was
about sixteen years old. She then en-
tered female college at Shelbyville,
graduating from that institution when
she was about nineteen years of age.
June 20, 1888, she was married to
Mr.. John I. Shelton, a gentleman of
high character, and soon thereafter
they took up their residence in Tennes-
see, Mr.. Shelton engaging in the gro,
Gerry business. In about six years af-
ter marriage, her husband died, leaving
her two sons. She then returned to
Columbia, where she permanently re-
sided until her death. Her youngest
son, who was named for his father,
died at Maryville, Tenn, where he was
attending college, three years ago.
Her only surviving bodily heir is her
son, Mr.. Reed Shelton, of this place,
who is grieved beyond expression for
the loss of good mother, wise coun-
selor, one he consulted about every
thing touching his interest, and while
her death has fallen heavily upon all
those who were near to her by the ties
of blood, the greatest sorrow comes to
the devoted son, who is almost heart
broken e.
No death has occurred in recent years
that brought more sorrow to the people
of Columbia where the life of the de.
ceased was known to be spotless and,
pure, devoted member of the Presby-
terian church from early girlhood
Such life as she lived is eltainly COM
forting to her son, her sister. Miss Oc-
tavia, her two brothers. Walton and
E. W. Reed. May God pour the balm
of gilead into their sorrowing hearts.
The funeral services will be in the
the Presbyterian church this (Wednes-
day. afternoon.

does not write non participating pol

non participating policy means that you
pay the same every year; dividend
paying policy means that your premium
is reduced each year. A non participa-

dividend policy catches the non
participating policy after the first pay

Good Money After Bad.


II Is curious fact that many men,
level headed enough about other
things, seem to lose their wits entirely
when they become involved in law
suits. In one case recently concluded
in the German courts a Berlin mer-
chant paid out over 5000 to recover
the value of five cent postage stamp.
he had written letter asking for an
address and inclosing postage for re-
ply. Failing to get an answer, he
sued for the stamp.
The famous Missouri watermelon
case was just as trifing and even
more disastrous. The seed was
planted on one farm. but the vine
crept through crack In the rail fence,
and the melon grew on the other
side. Both farmers claimed 1t, and
instead Of percelving the humor Of the
situation they went to law. To add
to the puzzling features Of the question
Of ownership there was the further
complication in that the fence stood
on county line, whereupon a ques-
ton Of the Jurisdiction Of the courts
came up. The farmers bankrupted
themselves without obtaining de-
cision as to the ownership.-Green Bag

A Real Gas Plant,

There are two varieties of gas plant.
One is a manufacturing establishment
where coal is converted into gas for IL
Eliminating and heating purposes. The
other variety is real growing plant
called the fraxinela. Few know why
the fraxinela is called the "gas plant"
This is because at certain times it re-
leases a volatile oil that actually ig-
mites If allowed to come In contact
with lighted match. The fraxinella
is also noted for its fragrance and
longevity if not disturbed. One plant
in New England garden is doing
its best to outlive a third generation,
and elsewhere a clump is still flourish
ing after no less than thirty-seven
years on a grave--one Of the most diff
ficult Of places for perennial to keep
up long struggle for existence, let
alone a normal life.-New York World.

Congressman sometimes adopt queer
expedients to gain the good will Of
their constituents. Years ago n mem
Der from western state was afraid
that his first term would be his last,
as he had not managed to make him
self a power In congress. While he
was debating what he should do a
friend said, "You live near the center
Of the United States, don't you"
"Yes." "Then why don't you intro
duce bill to have the capital moved
to the principal town in your dis
trict?" The congressman introduced
the BILL and the people Of his district
at once concluded he was great man
and sent him back for another term.
He reintroduced the bill in the next
congress, and, although it was prompt
ly pigeonholed in committee, his con-
stituents gave him third term as a
reward for his genius.
