Aged Lady Burned to Death

Tuesday, Feb. II, Mrs. Mary A.
Cooksey fell from her chair into the
fire and was burned to death at the
home of her daughter, Mrs, A. G. Will
liams, where she had lived the past IS
years. She was in her eightieth year,
and was in apparent good health which
she had enjoyed for years, having sell
dom taken a dose of medicine. She
seemed to have had premonition of
death, for the day before she picked
out some special garments and packed
them away, and told her folks that
she felt that death was near and that
she desired to be buried in them.
The family were preparing to sit
down to dinner and had barely left
the room when they heard her fall,
and rushing back they found her face
downward in the blazing fire. Medi-
cal assistance arrived within ten min
utes, but she had died almost instant
ly, having sucked the flames into her
lungs.
She was born In Williamson county,
Tenn, and was the widow of Daniel
A. Cooksey, who died during the Civil
War. Her grandfather. John Han
cock, was a signer Of the Declaration
Of independence. She was devout
christian, a member of the Baptist
church. She was noted for her char
liable disposition toward the sick or
distressed and always tried to comfort
and help those in need Of sympathy.
She was never heard to say an unkind
word about anyone, and all who knew
her were her friends. She leaves two
children and several grand children.

The condition of affairs in the
city of Mexico is most horrible
and unusual. The fighting with
rifles and heavy cannon in a city
of half a million people is unpre-
cedented. President Madero says
he will die rather than resign.
Diaz with his rebel hordes seems
to be inmoyably lodged in the
arsenal. The conflict cannot wage
