Mrs. Murray Dead

Mrs. Jas. C. Murray died at her
home near Bridgeport, Wednes-
day, September 9, 1914. Funeral
services were conducted at the
residence the following afternoon
at 2 o'clock, after which the body
was taken to the family cemetery
on her old home place and laid
beside that of her husband.
Mrs. Murray was the daughter
of Rev. Joseph Manning, who,
with Rev. Ephriam More, were
the first Missionary Baptist preach
ers in this community, and did
much in the early uplift of the
neighboring country.
Mrs. Murray was born Septem-
Der 3, 1929, in the historic Huff
bottoms. When she was six years
of age, her parents moved to what
is now known as the Manning
place. She joined the church
early in life and remained a de-
voted follower Of Christ until her
death. She was married Octo-
her II, 1858, to James. C.
Murray. They then moved to the
farm near Bridgeport, where
both lived until they passed away.
Mr.. Murray died in 1896.
Mrs. Murray, during her life
time, witnessed many develop
ments and historic changes in the
growth and history of this coun-
try. She not only saw these,
but played and important part in
their development. Not a con-
spicuous part, but the part that
every Christian mother should
play. She was Christian her
Self, and her home always had
that Christian atmosphere that is
essential in the home.
There are seven children: Mrs.
Harrison Wood, Mrs. Stokely Su-
song, Mrs. Ed. C. Burnett, Mrs.
Kate Stokely and Miss Mamie
Murray, of the girls; DR.. T. j.
Murray and Mr.. j. g. Murray, of
the boys. There are also fourteen
grandchildren and four great
grandchildren.

gashington. Dec. %. - The.
s&ed States government today
1Uatched long note to Great
britain insisting upon an early
Improvement in the treatment OF
American commerce by the Brit
ish fleet. This note gave warn
ing that much feeling has been
aroused in this country. and that
public criticism is general over
the unwarranted interference with
legitimate foreign trade Of the
United States.
The document. constituting the
strongest representation on this,
subject made by the United States
to any Of the belligerents since
the outbreak of the war. was ca
bled to Ambassador Page to be
formally presented t. Sir Edward
Grey. the British foreign secre-
tary. It's preparation was begun q
month ago. as a detailed point of
view Of the United States in, num-
erous specific cases Of detentiOns
and seizures Of cargoes has been
set forth in a series of emphatic
protests, most Of which have gone
unheeded.
IN Friendly Spirit
Today's communication was
couched in general terms covering
the entire subject of the relations
between the United States and
Great Britain. as affected by the
latter's naval policy. considered
highly Objectionable by this gov
ernment. The note declares at the
outset that these representations
are made iff d friendly spirit. but
that the United States considers it
best to speak in terms of frank
ness. lest silence he construed as
an acauiescence in the policy Of
Great Britain. which has infring-
ed the rights of American citizens
under the laws of nations.
Involves Triple Entente
Since France has adopted proc
tically. the same decrees on con-
traband as Great Britain. the ncte
virtually is a statement to the
tripfe entente. FEELING has been
aroused to such an extent the
communication adds. that the
American government is cOnlpell-
ed to ask definite inforGation re-
garding Great Britain's attitude
in order that it may take such
measures as to protect American
citizens in their rights.

insists on better treatment of AM

large damages will eventually
have to be paid by England for
the unlawful detention of Ameri-
can cargoes.
The President pointed out that
many protests had previously
been sent in specific cases and
that if the contention of the Am
erican government is correct and
he is firmly convinced thet it is.
claims for indemniflcation will
ultimately have to be met by
Great Britain. supplementary to
the previous protests. The new
note. the President explained. re-
presents fully the position of the
United States. saying that so far
as theorv is concerned. there real
ly is no debate on the point rails
ed, because England herself. in
previous wars. has taken exactly
the American position.
