The news from Washington that the Supreme court of the United States has just promulgated rules de- signed to lessen the long delays and thus a deal of costly litigation in aii the Federal courts may not be very exciting, but it may mean great deal to any citizen of the land at some time or other.
 One of the chief reforms will be that of bringing the taking of testi- naony down to a more simplified and inexpensive meth cd. That such a step will actually save money for the country and it's people ought soon to be provedt-Boston Post.

To the older ones Of this section the sad
dening news OF the death Of Mrs. s. B.
Jones came Thursday morning through
the columns Of the Southern Christian Ad-
vocate. She passed away in S~partanburg
where her home had been for a number Of
years. The writer for reasons claims the
privilege Of paying a slight tribute to her
memory. She was q native Of this section,
having been born and reared within a few
miles Of this place. Throughout a pretty
large territory, as a young lady, she was
well known and beloved, by old and young.
Having a warm heart, q genial and loving
disposition, with a smile and kind word
for all that she met, all were drawn to her
and became her best friends, yet 1t was
those who knew her best that loved her
most. She spent much Of her time at u
home, the home Of my sainted father, Rev.
G. w. Huckabee. There she always found
a cordial welcome. AS q bare-footed boy,
the writer was always glad at the coming
OF cousin Lottie. Then was formed for
her an attachment thatsneither time nor
distance has lessened.
She IA a life long consistent member OF
the Methodist church. In all Of the walks
Of life, sister, daughter, wife, mother,
friend, she ever showed a peculiar fitness
for, which was indicative of a high Chris
tan character, all Of which enabled her to
leave behind N enviable record, an exam
pie worthy to be followed. No II could
question the cordiality, the kindness which
shown forth in all OF her intercourse
with old and young, neither could her de-
vution to the Masters cause call forth any
doubt as to it's genuineness, its sincerity.
All Of which gives to her beloved ones left
behind, and the few remaining who knew
her years ago, the assurance that she is
now in the Christians home In heaven, en-
joying the fruits Of a we'll spent and happy
life. Troupe.
