The funeral took place on the fol-

resting place by a large number of
sorrowing neighbors and friends
whose presence on this occasion
gave silent evidence of the love
and esteem they held for one who
had so long lived in their COM

Upton, as he was familiarly
known by his former school
mates and friends, was a son of
the late John Fryman, of Ayr
township, and a brother of our
townsman, Robert N. Fryman.
In 1870, he was married to Sarah
Pittman, and to this union were
born seven children-three sons
and four daughters, three of
whom are living, namely, George
married and living in New Mex
leo; John, the oldest son, married
and living at home and Miss Ruth
living at home-these three, five
grandchildren, three brothers and
two sisters are all that are left
of his immediate family. He
was a consistent member of the
Methodist Episcopal church.

Xigor for Veterans

From the Richmond Evening Journal
 New York and Memphis newspapers are having a good humored discussion .on the comparative physical conditions of the survivors of the union and Confed- crate armies The Memphis Commercial Appeal says that a man who noticed parade of Confederate veterans in that city, having just seen the parade of the Grand Army of the Republic at Wash ingtop, commented on the superior alac- rity and vigor of the Confederates. The Memphis newspaper presents as a prob able explanation to this that the Con- federates lived harder during the war and since have been forced to work and to content themselves with simple food and conditions, whereas the union men have been pensioned, more or less pampered and have been prosperous and at ease The New York newspapers respond with the suggestion that none but men who felt physically fit would care to go to Memphis anyhow, whereas the attrac- tions of Washington drew every veteran able to get there, even at the risk of exhaustion. They contend also that to- ward the last part of the war; at least the south drew on it's boys more freely than the north, and that consequently the southern veterans are younger
 The subject while not exciting is in- teresting. Has anybody in Richmond where many people, doubtless, saw both the Confederate reunion here in June and the G. A. R. gathering at Washing ton the last week in September, noted that there was difference in the phy- sical condition and the marching of the honored survivors of the two sides?

Tourists and Exchange

From the Manchester Guardian.
 A very important point in the American exchange question that has escaped notice is the difference made by the absence of American visitors. The manager of a well-known London banking house, whose business is largely American, tells me that in ordinary years the vast sums spent by rich Americans in this country Qargely in Bond street. help considerably to turn the exchange in favor of London. It is estimated that from 5000 to 40,00O Amer jeans visit this country every year. Last year, in August and September, there was great rush to England of Ameri- cans who had been stranded on the con tinent when war broke out. and the banks and tourist agencies had a very busy time. But this year the American tourist is not be found. "Almost the only Amer jeans who have come over,' my inform ant said, 'are doctors and Red Cross nurses and commercial travellers. Over 40 per cent of our staff have joined the forces, while one department which usual ly is enlarged at this time of the year to over 20, has been comfortably run this summer to six men,"

 At another shop brown velvet hat was seen-a "Kurzmann" model, which was broad brimmed and high crowned.

 Another stylish hat at this shop was of African brown velvet-rather large and trimmed with an uncurled ostrich feather l in champagne color. A tiny band of Afri-

 At another shop was shown most at- tractive huff and hat of pale pink chiffon and silver lace The hat was a large picture hat built of silver lace and trimmed in mole skin, which was cut in points and appliqued on the crown. A knot of pale pink chiffon which termi- mated in graceful ends was used as trimming at the left side, with large gold rose, and on the ends of the chiffon were mole skin ornaments. The huff was large and beautifully fashioned of pink chiffon edged at the ends with the silver lace. A broad band of mole was used right through the center as a trimming and the outfit was not only stylish, but very new and original.
 At another shop two very smart models were shown in hats one being of the new that is being "featured'' this season by Vogue. It rolls high in the back and down on the left side, and the simple trimming is of ostrich balls in cham pagne color and a single ornament of the ture hat of gold lace over black ma line the tiny folds of the ma'ine showing at the edge of the briIn.

HATS, FURS AND COATS DISPLAY YED BY LOCAL MERCHANTS

Fur and feathers tumbling about to- gether over broad brimmed bonnets and tiny brimmed turbans, ostrich feathers trailing over transparent brims with a cluster of fur ornaments caught here and there in modish array, stunning fur coats with high collars and wide, rippling skirts are the very last word from Dame Fashion" this season in each of these lines
 Some of the most beautiful fur coats ever seen in Birmingham are now being displayed in the different exclusive shops and one doesn't have to go to New York for the smartest fashions in furs, for they are brought right here to our doors and all we have to do is to make a selection.
