SUDDEN DEATH.
Mr.. R. h. Durham, Highly Respect
ed Citizen, Stricken With APP.
Oplexy. Dying in a Few
Minutes.
SAD MESSAGE SHOCKS ALL COLUMBIA


were greatly shocked last Friday af-
ternoon, about APO o'clock, when the
news spread over the city that Mr.. r.
III. Durham, the well-known poultry
dealer, manager for Grinstead & Co.,
had met with stroke of apoplexy,
and was dying in the wholesale house
of V. NJ. Gowdy & Co.
Mr.. Durham was seated in the store
conversing with several gentlemen,
when stricken. He was placed on a
cot, physicians called, but death came
in about thirty minutes.
His brother at Campbellsville was
notified and the body conveyed to the
Hancock Hotel. About : o'clock the
brother and an embalmer arrived, and
after the body was prepared another
brother and his mother reached here
from Taylor county and the remains
removed to the Durham home, this
place.
The deceased was born and reared
at Saloma, Taylor county, and was
thirty-seven years old when the
summons came. A number
years ago he made a profession of
his faith in Christ, united with the
Baptist Church and was consistent to
the end. Soon after coming to this
place to live, seven years ago, his
church membership was removed from
Taylor county to the Columbia Bap-
fist Church, and for some time before
his demise he held the office of Dea-
con, and he was also assistant Super
intendent Of the Sunday School. He
was man who had the confidence of
the people of this community, and his
death brought sorrow to many
friends.
Saturday morning religious services
were held at the residence conducted
by his pastor, Rev. o. p Bush, and
soon thereafter the remains were
started to Campbellsville, accompa-
MED by his mother and brothers and
several friends.
The deceased was an honored Mason,
q member of Columbia Lodge, No. SO,
the Chapter, No. Z, and Marion Com
mandry.
The funeral took place in Camp
bellsyille at 2:3O o'clock Sunday after
noon, Lebanon body of Knights
Templar officiating. Quite number
of MaSonS of this place were in attend
ance.
The News together with this entire
town extends its deepest sympathy to
the mother and five sOrrowing broth
ers and one sister.
The stroke falls heavily upon the
mother, who was the dead sons house
keeper, and who was almost constant
ly with him, but was visiting another
son when the end came Only those
who know mothers love can realize
how Sorely her heart bleeds.
Dick Durham, as he was Familiarity
called, will be missed from the busy
walks of life. from the Church and
from the lodge room, and from social
intercourse. Peace to his memory.
LATER:-Since writing the above we
want to state that in testimony of the
high standing of Mr.. Durham, the
Campbellsville Baptist church, the
largest house of worship in that city,
was inadequate to hold the friends
who were present to attend the funer-
al. More than Two hundred failed to
gain entrance.

Doeskin Gloves.

Every women who invests in the
washable doeskin gloves should invest
in two pairs, for, unless the one pair
is washed every night as regularly as
one winds the watch, clean gloves are
never available just when needed.
Wash these gloves on the hands in
water not too hot and scrub them
clean with the nailbrush and soap.
Rinse the gloves, still on the hands,
in several waters. Then shake the
hands until the gloves slip of easily
without being dragged by the finger
tips. Squeeze them as dry as possible
and shake out before hanging up to
dry. When they are dry run the end
of a curling iron wiped clean) or q

MELISSA WOULD NOT TOLERATE

Mrs. Merriwid picked her pearl ear
studs from her dressing table and con-
templated them thoughtfully as they
lay in her rosy palm. Il wonder il

she murmured, and what effect
they would have on a persons tummy
In that form. I've a great mind to

fculty. do you know it?"
No, dearie," replied Mrs. Merriwid,
"and | don't want to know it, if you

wondering If Mr.. Stintwell wouldn't

bother with the coroner and haven't
got decent picture Of myself that
could give the newspaper reporters, so
I'll compromise by telling him that
he's wasting his breath. He doesn't
like to waste anything, so that ought
to stop him."
Aunt Jane made a clucking sound
indicative of Impotence. IF you re-
fuse Mr. Stintwell, you're very fool

say" she remarked. "He must be
worth over a million dollars"
Have you ever noticed how short

His idea is a partnership. He'd be
willing to take me in on the ground
floor, as it were, and when we drew
up our chairs to go over our accounts
in the evening, he wouldn't charge me
up with anything that wasn't right. II
he ate a light breakfast, he'd prob

me to debit myself with the sugar l
used for making fudge, which wouldn't
be more than just; but he'd be
willing to bear a proper proportion OF
the household expenses, if you left 1t
to him what a proper proportion was.

dearie. I want to feel at liberty to
