Mrs. K. Z. Hughes. Mrs. Hughes was
considerably shaken up by the machine

Of the many good women of the
town and county who have passed tC
the Great Beyond, there has not per.
maps been one taken in late year:
whose death has occasioned more wide
/ spread sorrow than has Mrs. Hughes
/ Unobstrusive in manner, she yet joined
to her by the bonds of love and friend
ship all with whom she came in con
tact. Through lifetime spent in the
community she was known to all, anl
her kind and gentle manner led al
classes to love and respect her. Tn
most devoted of wives and mothers
she yet in her gentle kindly way founC
many occasions to show some lIttl,
kindly act to those about her, and S,
unobstrusive We're these little acts tina
the recipients could but believe tina
they came from the bottom of her gen
erous, kindly heart. A devoted chris
tian and a long and faithful membe
of the Christian church, and a regula
attendant at the church services whel
her health would permit, surely she, i
any person ever was, was ready at tn
Masters summons, and it mattered no
if that summons came Unexpectedly
Surely the world is better for her hav
ing lived in it.
The heartfelt sympathy of the com
munity is extended to the stricken
family in their sorrow, and especial,
does the hearts of the people go out il
tenderest feeling to Judge Hughes il
his great bereavement. May the Grea
Comforter palliate his affection.
