II is with great sadness that we note
the death of Miss Annie Doughty. who
died at her home on Friday of last week.
after an illness of some duration. She
had been in poor health for several
years, but had been confined to her bed
about four weeks. She possessed a
bright cheerful disposition. and her
friends were ignorant OF the seriousness
of her illness. The skillful treatment
of her physician. and the ministrations
of her many friend were alike unavail-
ing. and she longed for the time to come
when her sufferings would be over. and
she would be at peace with her God.
Miss Doughty was member of the
Stockton High School Alumni Associa-
ton. being a graduate of 1902. She
was an accomplished and sweet singer,
and willingly gave her time and talents
to any good cause. Since early child
hood she had been a faithful member
of the NJ. p. Church, and entered with
true Christian zeal upon any work
allotted to her TO do. Her sweet
voice was heard in nearly every service,
and she will be greatly missed in all
departments of Church work. Funeral
services, conducted by her pastor, Rev.
V. A. Miller. were held Sunday after
noon in the NJ. P. Church. There were
many floral offerings. showing the
esteem in which she was held by her
many friends.
The following acted as pallbearers
Henry Hickman, G. C. Hudson. Leon
Clifton, Lawrence Bennett. Ernest
Shockley. Harold Mock.
Her many friends sympathize with
her family in their sad bereavement.
and mourn with them that one so young
and in the bloom of her youth, with so
many promises of useful life. should
be taken from our mist. However
there is consolation IN the thought that
our loss is her gain.

dent of Mexico. il deyolves upon
American Ambassador Wilson at once
to treat with the de faeto Mexican
government for the protection OF
Americans throughout the republic.
Political recognition of the gov
eminent which has emerged out of
the travail through which Mexico
has passed during the last two years,
will be a slower proceeding. But
with many Americans killed, many
wounded from the bullets of the con-
tending forces in Mexico City and
thousands rendered homeless because
OF the slaughter and carnage which
have resulted from firing in the
streets of the city, Mr.. Wilson's first
duty will be to treat with the new
president for amelioration of the con-
ditions imposed upon Americans and
other foreigners, especially since the
revolution entered it's last stages.
While this government will take
no concern over the choice of sue
cessor 10 President Madero, such a
successor will have to demonstrate
HIS ability to maistain stable govern
ment before political recognition will
be accorded him by the United States.
