AGED LADY
WAS CALLED
BY DEATH
MRS. H. T. DAVENPORT DEAD
She Was Widely Known and
Esteemed

The death early yesterday morning
of Mrs. H. T. Davenport, while not
unexpected, in view of her recent
critical illness, is none the less de-
plored among the many friends of
this estimable woman, SO long and so
we'll known in Americus. The sum-
mons came soon after the midnight
hour, and the end was calm and peace
full
Mrs. Davenport had passed even
the three score years and ten, and
the greater portion of these years
were spent in Americus, her father,
Thomas Harold, having been one of
the earliest residents here She was
the next eldest daughter of family
of five, only one of whom, Miss Maria
Harold, survives. The other mem-
gers were Mrs. S. P. Boone, Messrs.
Uriah B. and William Harold.
Thirty-five years ago Miss Louisa
Harold was married to Mr.. H. 7.
Davenport, the wedding ceremony
having taken place in the same church
wherein her body will repose today
during the funeral services at 12
o'clock.
A son and a daughtr, Miss Mary
Davenport and Mr. Harold Daven-
port, blessed this union, an ideally
happy one throughout a long period
of years. Filial devotion was evi-
denced when four days ago the son
gave his own life blood freely in the
hope that his mothers life might be
saved To the venerable husband, the
son and daughter and other loved
ones, sympathy is extended in their
bereavement.
Mrs Davenport was a member Of
the Episcopal church, and the funeral
services, conducted by Rev. ]. B.
Lawrence, will be held there at 12
O'clock today. The pallbearers will
he Messrs. Thomas Harrcld, Frank
Harold William Harold, Charles
Farrold and Messrs. w. L. Thomas, of
Plains; J. S. Shields, cf Dawson; j.

Friends of the family and of the
deceased are respectfully invited to
attend the funeral AS a mark of re-
spect to their camp commander, the

Presbyterian church, on Jackson

ster mass meeting of thanks to be or.
fered up for the blessings visited up
on Americus, Georgia and the ma
tion during the past twelve months,
and every church-goer in Americus Ia

WAS A PLEASANT OCCASION
Large Attendance Enjoyed

BULGARIA TO
MODIFY TERMS
OF PEACE
NATIONS ARE URGING PEACE
Turks Think They Can Fight
Better Now

London, Nov. 22-"Come and take
them." the defiant reply of the Turks
to the demand made by the allied
Balkan nations for the evacuation Of
the line of fortifications at Tchatalia,
n front OF Constantinople, is not be-
lieved in diplomatic circles necessarily
to mean the end of negotiations for
an armistice, even though fighting
has been resumed.
From Sofia today comes word that
the victorious invaders are likely to
modify their conditions. The Euro
pean powers at the same time are ex-
erting themselves to induce the ma
tions composing the Balkan league to
bring their terms more into line with
the facts of the situation and to ar
range treaty which will give them
all they have conquered, but will leave
out that which has not been con-
quered.
Compared with its earlier disas-
trous experiences, the Turkish army
evidently now considers itself in Il
favorable position. Military experts
here see in the temporary failure Of
the protracted Bulgarian rush into
Constantinople signs of reaction
among the invaders after their sus
tanned efforts of the past month.
Inasmuch as the Ottoman capital,
even If Constantinople must ulti-
mattel ybe evacuated, in accordance
with the decree of the great powers
it cannot be occupied by the military
forces of Bulgaria, and it appears
that the allies have nothing whatever
to gain by insisting on the surrender
of the lines which form virtually
the gates of the city. Hence the hope
Is now expressed by diplomats that
this demand will be withdrawn. In
this case it is thought that Turkey
recognizing that she has no prospect
OF taking the offensive for the recov-
cry of her lost territory, would
quickly conclude that she has nothing
to gain by continuing the conflict.
She would perhaps agree to enter into
negotiations on the basis of sur
render of all but a reasonable strip
of territory at the back of Constanti-
nople, the Dardanelles and the Bos-
phorus.
