shocked to learn Of the sudden
death, at her home in Brandon,

James L. Buchanan, nee Matte
Bate. She had retired, and was
aroused from slumber by a spell
of coughing; dying almost in
stantly. He devoted husband,
who was alone with her, the
children all being absent, did all
he could to relieve her, but his
efforts were in vain. Yesterday
she was attending to her usual
household duties, enjoyed her
supper, retiring to her bed with
out any premonition of the COM
ing the dread messenger" She
was a consistent member of the
Baptist church; a faithful, de-
voted wife; a fond and loving
mother; the best of neighbors,
in fact she was one Of the truest
and best of women; and beloved
by all for her sincerity, goodness
of heart, and sweet christian
character.
Mrs. Buchanan was the daugh-
ter of Hon. William Bate, for
many years a leading citizen of
Brandon. She leaves besides
her husband, Mr.. James L. Bu-
chanan, the following children,
to-wit: William, Sam, Misses
Emma and Edna and James L.,
Jr., all of whom have been sum-
moned to pay a last tribute to
Their mother. whom they idolized.
To the bereaved husband and
family we tender our sincere
sympathy, and pray for them
Gods care and blessings
Funeral services will be held
late this afternoon, interment in

Keen disappointment as to the re-
suits of recruiting under the voluntary

pressed in the house Of lords today
by the Earl of Derby. former chief

especially to the starred trades men
required for work on necessities re-
quired 10y the government-and agri-

plea to the government 10 prevent

themselves to specialized occupations

necessary to obtain q requisite num-
Der of fighting men without whom

cruiting campaign were given, but 1t
