w. c. T. u. MOTHERS DAY

Mothers Day." as observed by
the W. c. T. u, at their meeting on
Tuesday afternoon, while not reach
ing the ideal in number of mothers
present, was an interesting meeting
The weather was perfect for an open
air meeting. Chairs were arranged
in the yard at Mrs. Adelia Woods
A splendid program had been ar
ranged BY our pains-taking presi-
dent, Mrs. ]. S. Baughman. This
was supplemented by a very fitting
talks from two of our pastors, Drs.
Early and Welburn. DR.. Early
struck the keynote when he told the
mothers present, that a reform in
dress, for their girls was as much a
necessity, if a high standard of mo-
rality was to be maintained, as a re-
form from Intoxicating liquors. The
object of these meeting is to bring
the mothers in closer touch with the
work the w. c. T. U. is trying to do
for the protection of their boys and
girls. Parents are urged to sign the
Total Abstinence Pledge" and to
teach it to their children in youth
and thus save themselves many
heart-aches for their old days. At
the conclusion of the program a So
cial time was enjoyed, during which
frappe and waters were served

Deaths Heavy Hand
Laid Heavily Upon Prominent West
End Family This Week.

Death is at all times sad, but it
is particularly so when it comes to
those in the very prime of life and
who are so much needed, as it did in
the case of Mrs. John B. Rife, of
noon. By her taking away three
sons are left motherless and de-
voted husband must climb the hill
alone. God grant that they may all
be given strength to withstand the
irreparable loss they have sustained.
Mrs. Rife, who was Miss Mamie
Carpenter, a daughter of Sandy T.
Carpenter, of the West End, was AZ
years old and had been since her
childhood a devout member of the
Christian church She was as beau
tiful of character as she was of
face and her friends were numbered
by her acquaintance. Light-heart-
ed and happily disposed, she got the
best out of life and impressed those
among whom she mingled that with
her life was worth the living. A pity
it is that she was not spared longer
to spread sunshine and bring happi-
ness to hearts in gloom. The three
sons that survive her are fine, man.
ly fellows, but they are just at the
ages when a mothers love and adj
vice is so much needed. They are
Julian, John and Jesse Rife, who
with their father have the sympathy
of large circle of friends. De-
ceased was only i'll two days. Ev-
cry effort possible was made to save
her, but medical skill was unequal
to the emergency. The burial took
place in the Hustonville cemetery
Thursday afternoon after appropri-
ate remarks at the grave by her pas
tor, Rev. A. H. Baugh, Ed. j. @.
Montgomery, of Liberty, and Rev.
L. Brandenburg, of the Baptist
church. A great crowd gathered at
the grave to pay the last tribute to
the excellent young wife and moth
er.

Examining Trial Put OFF
Commonwealth Witness iii When
Morgan Case Was Called.

The examining trial of Sweeney
Morgan, prominent Garrard county
farmer, who shot his son-in-law,
Booth Sutton to death last week,
was postponed to Tuesday on motion
of the Commonwealth, when called
in the Garrard county court Thurs
day. A. material witness for the
prosecution was sick and unable to
be present, which caused the
postponement. Mr.. Morgan has
retained Attorneys L. L. Walker and
James /. Hamilton to defend him,
while Attorney Joe E. Robinson was
employed to assist in the prosecu-
ton.
The Lancaster Record says that
the following evidence was brought
out at the coroner's inquest: Mr..
Sutton had been drinking and trou-
BILE occurred between him and his
wife at their home. Mrs. Sutton
left home and went to the home of
her sister, Mrs. Frank Holtzclaw,
who lives about two or three hun
dred yards from the Sutton home.
Sutton followed and came to the
Holtzclaw home with a shotgun. An
other quarrel ensued and Mrs. King
a sister of Mr.. Morgan interposed.
At this time Mrs. Sutton is said to
have gone to the home of a neigh
Dor, Mr.. Bruce Lawson and tele-
phoned to Sheriff Ballard to. come
and arrest her husband. At about
this time Mr.. Morgan is said to have
learned of the trouble from a little
son of Mr.. Frank Holtzclaw, and
with a shotgun, went from his home
to the Holtzclaw home, a distance
of about one hundred yards. On ar
irving there, as testified by Mrs.
King, Mr.. Sutton said, sect up from
there Grace" and fired at Sutton,
who was sitting on the porch, from
a distance of about ten feet. The
shot entered just over the heart, cut
ting the aorta. Mr.. Morgan says
that he shot in self defense, and
that Mr.. Sutton was rising from his
seat and was about to shoot him.
The body was found around the cor
ner of the house about forty feet
from the scene of the shooting by
the Sheriff on his arrival, and be-
side it was shot gun.
After the Coroner's inquest, Mr..
Sutton's body was removed to his
own home and burial took place in
the Lancaster Cemetery Tuesday.
