odoriferous with carnations and
spring flowers. The chancel rail

flowers and potted plants. The rear

green plants studded with pink and

who had been i'll for several weeks,
died at his home on East Vine street
Thursday afternoon at 2 O'Clock.

home Friday afternoon by Rev. w.
A. Smith Mrs. Marie Wellington
presided at the piano. Preceding
the sermon Mrs. E. B. Adams sweetly
sang "Abide with me-" Rev. Smith
used for text Psalms 1894, yea,
though I walk through the valley"
ect. The speaker very touchingly
spoke on the life and good works of
the deceased. Prof. Davenport was
a man possessed of rare musical abil-
ity and many who are now making
good in this profession owe their
early training to him. He was
man who knew how to appreciate a
kindness and overlook a mistake in
others; he lived a consistent life and
when sentiment clashed with reason,
reason always prevailed. His death
cast a shadow of gloom over the
whole community. The family has
our sympathy. Mrs. Pattie McClan-
ton, after an extended visit, left
Wednesday TO rher home in Jackson.
She was accompanied by her little
