Interment.

Mrs. May Lock Byrley died at
her home in Atlanta, Ga. Friday,
March Bird. AS was known to
all the friends of the family she
had not been we'll for a number of
years and rather seriously sick
for several months.
Mrs. Byrley was the Youngest
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Will

respected citizens of Barbour

Mr.. and Mrs. Lock were with
their daughter for several months
previous to her death and accom-
panied the remains for inter-
ment in the cemetery near the
old home at Barbourvil,e.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Byrley were
graduates of Union College, Mr..

of DR.. Stevenson and Mrs. Byr-
ley during the administration of
President Faulkner. Mr.. Byrley
was also a graduate of Washing
ton Law School and Mrs. Byrley
taught for while in Union Col
iege.
They were married in Barbour
vile, sixteen years ago.
Mrs. Byrley was known in her
girlhoood for her kindness, gen.
tleness, intelligence and frmness
of character, these qualities even
more significantly marked her
womandood and distinguished
her as a wife and mother. Two

Yawning

German scientists claim that
yawing is extremely beneficial,
as it stretches the muscles of the
brain, sends the blood to the
jaws. and sharpens appetite and
intellect. The remedy is so
that it is being used extensively
in this town. to Judge by some
of the hardworking chaps who
hang around the corner stores
exercising their jaws and
stretching their muscles. Yawn-
ing may be all right as a brain
exerciser, but we believe a few
hard ticks toward actual work
would produce more lasting BEN
fits for this town. We have
enough jaw exercise to keep us
on the front page for eternity.
What we need is a little classified
effort along practical lines Lit
tie things embodying real work
will produce more results than
all the yawning in the world.
The officers of the German army
may sharpen their iniellects by
yawning exercises, but it is a no
ticeable fact that they arn't idle
