ceives a card on which are written the
misspelled and correctly spelled terms,

BAKER 81 SON.
MRS. MARTHA THORN ASHFORD.

Mrs. Martha Thorn Ashford, relic OF
the late Daniel F. Ashford, formerly Of
Adams county, Miss, died at the home
of her daughter, Mrs. +. J. Walton, in
st. Joseph, early Monday morning last,
after long illness.
Her remains were taken TO Natchez
for interment and were laid to rest be-
side her husband, who preceded her to
the Great Beyond some years ago.
Mrs. Ashford was the daughter of the
late Mr.. d. P. Thorn, of Adams county,
and was seventy-one years Of age.
She was most gracious, estimable
lady of ante-bellum days, whose num-
bers, alas are thinning out only too rap
idly.
She leaves to mourn her demise, her
son, Daniel F. Ashford, of this parish,
and daughter, Mrs. L. ]. Walton, of st.
Joseph. Also seven grandchildren.
She was true Christian lady, who led
an exemplary, charitable life, and the
sympathy Of the entire community goes
out to the surviving relatives.
She died at O'Clock a. m. Just with
the awakening life of new day she
went to sleep like tired child. 1t was
just as the birds carrolled the coming of
the morning and just as the rosy fingers
of the orb of day tinted the eastern sky
with sheen of glory. Surely most fit
ting time for pure spirit to take its
fight heavenward. With the eye of faith
one could see at the dawn of this mem
orabie day an invisible hand wave sig
nal, and voice in softest accent on the
morning breeze, announce that the gates
were open and that Gods angels were
waiting to escort her in.
After long, busy and useful life she
died as she had lived-honored, trusted
and loved. She reared her own monu-
ment while she lived in the hearts of all
who knew her. Her life was completed
ifwork all done and well done constitutes
completion. Her Christian life was heau-
tiful from its beginning to its close, and
through all the vicissitudes and sorrows
that she met in the way, her faith in God
never wavered.
:.Smoath the locks of silver hair
On our mothers brow with tenslerest care
Gather the robe in final fold
AROUND the form so stilI and cold;
Lay on her bosom, pure as snow.
The fairest, sweetest flowers that grow
Kiss her and leave her our heart : deli ght:
Her pain Is over, she sleeps Tonight. -
