Last Monday morning at 1890 DR..
W. r. Grissom, who had been prom

Mr.. Grover Grissom and DR.. Garlan

them to a loving God who can and
who is willing to comfort them in
this hour of their greatest sorrow.
Especially do the people feel for the
surviving companion, who was per-
fectly devoted to loving and faithful
husband.
The funeral services were held at
the Presbyterian Church Tuesday
forenoon at 10 O'Clock, In the presence
of large congregation conducted by
Rev. G. C. Brown, of Louisville, as

Death of Miss Maud Jackman.

Last Sunday night at $50 o'clock,
Miss Maud Jackman, the Oldest
daughter of Mrs. Laura Jackman, sue
cumbed to the inevitable and closed
her eyes in death.
Miss Jackman was nineteen years
old, and had been sick for about six
mouths. At times she appeared to be
improving and hope was entertained
for her recovery. Sunday forenoon
she was taken worse and it soon be-
came apparent that the end was ap-
preaching.
She was a very deserving young Ia
dy, modest in her demeanor, and was
very much liked by her many friends.
When she took sick she was a student
in the Columbia Graded School and it
is our info rmation that the teachers
and pupils were very fond of her.
Several years ago she made a pro-
fession of her faith in Christ, united
with the Methodist Church, and lived
a consistent member until the final
dissolution.
The fune raj services were held at
the M E. Church S. Monday afternoon,
condu cted by Rev. j. S. Chandler, in
the pre- sence of large concourse of
relati yes and friends. The interment
