MISS HALLE NAE FURR
An Appreciation.

On last Sunday morning mt ;
O'Clock after a brief illness of ap-
pendicitis. Miss Halle May Furr,
third daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. p.
b. Furr, of North street. and one
of the loveliest and most accom-
plished young ladies' of this city,
passed into life more blessed and
abundant.
Funeral services were conducted
by her pastor, Rev. f. S. Lewis,
at her late home and the love
honor and high esteem in which
she was held was graciously at
tested by the presence of nearly
every family in the city, and
many from other places, and the
profusion of exquisite flowers sent
by loving hearts and tender hands.
There were also present iu a body
her Sunday school class, and the
class that graduated from her
grade at the high school the past
session where she taught so capa-
bly, and effectively.
From a human point of view
we cannot understand the SEEM
ing inharmonies that steal into
our hearts and homes-frusrrat-
ing our plans, blighting our hopes
and almost utterly crushing our
existence, by removing from our
circle one so dependable, so beauti-
full in character and so conclusive
to the happiness of those with
whom she came into contact; like
the flowers she had such a passion
for modestly radiating the fra
GRANGE of her sweet young life
wherever she moved.
But by faith we catch vision
of the Christ who was sent into
this world to catch up the broken
threads, to dispel the gloom and
to bring blessing out of sorrow.
Then it is we can appreciatively
exclaim in our hearts: my Lord
and My Godl" Then it is, we
can look up through our tears and
thank the blessed Christ for the
gift of His holy spirit to whisper
when all seems dark, Let not
your hearts be troubled"
We laid Halle Mays precious
body away in St. Peters cemetery
beneath a mound of flowers. to
await the resurrection morn, and
we beg her loved ones to look
away from the cross to the beauti-
full crown-for she is not dead,
she has only just begun to
live. Amenl

TEACHER.

Resolutions.

We, the committee appointed to
draft resolutions in memory of
Miss Halle Mae Furr, our beloved
friend and teacher in the Sunday
school, who passed away July Both,
submit the following resolutions:
Whereas, lG obedience to the wi II
of our Heavenly Father, Miss Hal
lie Furr has been called from the
work on earth to higher and
greater work beyond the ken of
humanity; and
Whereas, By her untimeIy
death her family has lost a de-
voted member, the town of Ok
ford has lost one thoroughly quail
fled to serve in school, society and
church, ever ready to aid in their
advancement, always responding
TO every call, and
Whereas, All organizations with
which she was connected have lost
an efficient and earnest co-worker,
and
Whereas, We, as members of
the Sunday school, realize, that in
the passing of this exemplary
young Chistian life with her lofty
ideals, purity of thought, humility
of spirit, love for the beautiful
flowers and children, we have lost
valued teacher in the primary
department.
Therefore, Be it Resolved, that
while we bow in submission to
Gods will, we will endeavor to
carry on as best we can the work
that she had so faithfully begun in
the lives of the children of her
class; and
Resolved further, That we as Of
ficers, teachers and members of the
Sunday school, extend our deepest
sympathy to the bereaved family:
and to all who loved and reyered
her for those beautiful traits
which characterize the true Chris
tian.
Resolved, That these res olutions
be placed upon our minutes, read
before the Sunday school, a copy
of them sent to the family and
that they be published in the local
papers.
Respectfully submitted,
MRS. Z. N. LOWE,
Miss LYNDA RAMEY,

one was an exceptionally fine stu
dent, conscientious, painstaking
and untiring in her work. Among
other high marks made by her at
the University was the splendid
record in mathematics, having
made distinction in her freshman
year, this being considered a very
high honor.
Upon her graduation from the
State University, Miss Halle Mae
was given a position in the Tocco-
pola High School. Here she gave
splendid satisfaction and was
elected for another session, but
she was offered a position in the
High School at Oxford which
position she accepted. Her years
work in this new position was of
the same high character as in the
other positions she had filled.
She was reelected and had been
busy this summer preparing for
still more effective work during
the coming year. Only two
week sprior to herdeath she had re-
ceived from the department of ed
ucation at jackson her professional
license. She earnestly sought the
best possible equipment for her
chosen work, and brought to this
work daily bright, cultured
mind and a clean, tender, loving
heart. Her work was done so
thoroughly, with such care and
patience, that whether at the Uni
versity or in her school room she
had the admiration and approval
of those with whom she toiled.
At the time the death angel
touched her she was busy planning
for the new session, studying how
she might touch the boys and girls
of her grade on the responsive
side.
Miss Halle Mae was devout
Christian. She joined the Metho-
dist church in Oxford. October
%, 1905, during the pastorate of
Rev. J. K. Countiss, and at the
time of her death was one
of the teachers in the pri-
mary department of the Sun
day school. She was an active
member of the League. In all
her lifework we find the same con-
scientiousness, the same earnest
ness, the same high purpose. She
never did anything in her life in a
slovenly, careless manner. With
her what was worth doing was
worth doing well.
Too much cannot be said in be-
half of her love for the beautiful.
She loved flowers and found a
sweet JOY always and a satisfaction
in cultivating with her own hands
many beautiful and rare plants
which she shared freely with her
friends and her church. She
loved books and cultivated an in
innate acquaintance with the best
authors of the day.
Music had many charms for her
and her pure, reverent soul
mounted up in worship and adora-
tion as she listened to the notes of
the piano or joined in some noble
hymn at the church.
Miss Halle Mae loved the home
life, was domestic in her nature,
artistic in her tastes and did
beautiful embroidery. 1t was her
JOY to add something every now
and then, to the home, something
made by her own hand.
have never seen a comm unity
more deeply stirred, more pro-
foundly touched by a death than
Oxford was by the sudden death
of this popular young lady. On
Wednesday night before her death
she assisted in entertaining num-
ber of her friends in her own
home. They called the doctor on
Thursday, Friday she was some
what worse and during the day

NEW YORK, March 14.-The Rock

ihys Il is probable that further sessions
EIll be held to work out the details of

When this work is completed it is prob

NEW YORK March 1.-THE Census

and In expectation Of bullish statement
there was a good general demand for

houses were buyers, with good interests

ed for by profit-takinE sales.
When II was announced uuoHcally on
the floor that the publication of the con

few days, there was an effort to depress
the market and the pressure became
larger but there was a sufficient demand
TO hold prices comparatively steady. and

CITY'S FINANCIAL
PROBLEMS AWAIT
RETURN OF MAYOR
Proposed $86,SO0,OOO Loan Bill
Will Not Be Taken Up by
Councils This Week
VOTERS TO DECIDE IN MAY

Municipal financial problems, including
turn of Mayor Smith from his Southern
trip II present plans are carried out the
proposed $3.50, SOC, 900 loan, out of which is
to come S35,OOO,OO for transit, will not
be mentioned at the meeting of Councils
Finance Committee today, or at the
regular meeting of both branches of Coun.
ellis on Thursday.
The delay. 1t Is said, will in no way in
terfere with the scheme to place the loan
before the voters at the presidential pri-
maries May 10, as there will still be time
for the passage of the necessary legislation
by Councils. In the event of any further
controversy over items in the loan. special
meetings of Councils will be called to pass
upon II in time to have 1t advertised be-
fore being made a question for the voters.
In response to questions as to any loan
discussion by the Finance Committee
Chairman Gaffney today said:
There are only a few items of the loan
that have not been gone over by the COM
mttee. Transit, of course, is one of them
Director Twihng, l understand will not
be ready to make public his transit plans
before Wednesday, and, of course, If that
is the case, he will not want to discuss
them before the Finance Committee to-
day. If the transit plans are not ready, I
see no use in taking up the few other
items that have not been gone over, and
you can say, almost certainly, that the
loan will not be taken up and that the
committee will devote It's time to other
the way pending final disposition of the
loan | think Il would be better anyway
to wait until Mayor Smith returns to con-
tnue the loan reports
