n AS and Electricity hold identical clements of
"a uplift for womankind. Where Electricity
strikes off the shackles Of Drudgery that for cen
turtles have bound womMkind, Gas in it's particu-
lar field performs the same service in a similarly cf-
fectve manned.
Woman as the house keeper 10 longer must bend
overthe wood and coal burning stove in the Kitchen
or living rooms of her home. The heat, smoke and
dirt that in olden days kept her soul harassed and
her hands tied to Drudg cry have gone into the dis
card since Gas made its entrance into her life Time,
trouble and expense are saved i'll enormous quaint
ties in comparison with the household work Of our
grandmothers
Here, too, are some practical illustrations Of the
changes that have come with the introduction Of
gas-piping in the modern home. We see woman re-
lieved Of the burdens Of cooking, heating water
and other domestic duties She finds Gas a ready
servant, an economical servant and a trustworthy
assistant in every department of her home.
1t is really an interesting study to follow the
development of Gas wOmans aid From the time
the first English producer secured light and heat
from the invisible agent issuing from teakettIe
full of heated coal. up the present moment when
it is sent direct from the huge storage tanks to tips
ready at every womans hand, Gas has been found
useful in a constantly increasing ratio. There is
booklet now being circulated showing over 1000
uses for Gas
AS in the case Of the electric company, the
gas company is persistcntly engaged in charging

BELOVED WOMAN
HERE YESTERDAY
PASSING OF MRS.M.B.COUNClL
End Followed a PFOtraCted
Illness

Mrs. Martha Harris Council, the
beloved wife of Mr.. M. B. Council.
passed to eternal rest at an early hour
yesterday morning at the family resi-
dence on Rees park. For days tha
life of this devoted woman had hung
by brittle thread, following a pro-
tracted illness, and the coming of the
death angel to this happy home cir
Gle and the bearing away to a higher
realm of the most beloved one there
was not unexpected to those at her
bedside.
Mrs. Council had been in i'll health
during many months, and, although
she had long realized fully her condf-
tion, she bore her suffering with the
cheerfulness and Christian fortftude
that was so thoroughly characteristic
of this noble, gentle woman, esteemed
and beloved by wide circle of friends
here.
The end came peacefully at 7:3o
o'clock yesterday morning.
Mrs. Council, who recently had pass
ed her SEVENTEEN birthday anniversa-
ry, was born and reared in Sumter.
and no other woman was more esteem
ed by wide acquaintanceship. She
was daughter of the late Isaac Har-
ris, well known Methodist minister
here in days agone, the family resid-
ing near Sumter City. She had been
a consistent member of that church
since her girlhood days, and many are
there here who bless her memory for
the deeds of kindness and charity, so
generously bestowed. -
A woman of innate refinement, geu-
tleness and unobtrusive withal, it was
in the home circle, and among friends
nearest and dearest that her many rars
qualities of mind and heart were the
Rscre appreciated.
Besides him whose faithful constant
helpmeet she had been during
more than half century of years.
Mrs. Council is survived by four
daughters, Mrs. John T. Argo. Mrs
Elton c. Parker, Mrs. S. H. Mckee
and Mrs. S. E. Statham, two sons.
John NJ. and Harris Council, all of
them residents of Americus.
The deceased has several sisters
and brothers, among them Mrs. S. E.
Dasher, Of Fort Valley, and Miss Eu-
genia Harris. One brother, the late
Samuel Harris, was well known here.
The funeral exercises will be con-

AS it was found impracticable fCI
the Masonic fraternity to lay the cor
newstone Of the new school building
as planned and contemplated, work
upon the building having progressed
beyond that point, this feature of tht
program was necessarily abandoned
and at the conclusion of the business
session the barbecue dinner was an
nounced-the finale of the very enjoy
able convention session.
A half hundred automobiles convey
ed the visitors and other guests to
the park of the Americus Cue Club,
where a bounteous feast awaited. Long
tables arranged beneath the oaks were
filed with tempting viands, the piece
de resistance, of course, being trays
of savory cue prepared in the height
of epicurean perfection Other good
things combined to constitute a menu
such as only the tabled gods are sup
posed to have enjoyed.
AS the grand march was about to
begin Artist McKinstry secured fine
view of the guests and well-laden ta-
bles.
