In Memory of Ethel
 English Harbotde

Who recently passed on to take up her abode in the spirit world.
 With sad hearts we rerlize that sne can no longer mingle with us. To know her was to love her. She was a kind and loving wife, a good mother.a generous neighbor and an honest woman. She was truly a christian. No one was more willing to help the needy or distressed then she. These facts alone build a monument of glory above her grave. The world has been made better by her having lived in it.
 We extend our sincere symp- athy to the bereaved husband, little ones parents and relatives. One who loved her.

 It is up to Ozark to provide this rest room for the people of Franklin county when they come to spend their money and enjoy the day. and let them go away feeling that there is Christian influence in Ozark that is>not in every town.

Mrs. Geo. W. Darham kf
 Passes Iway.

Monday afternoon, Feb. 12, at 3:2Op. m. Mary Jane (Horner) Barham peacefully passed away at the age of 65 years.
 For the past few weeks Mrs. Barham had been in failing health but her condition did not become alarming till last Wednes- day a week agowhen hope of her recovery was despaired of. A few days before the final collapse she went to the home of her daugh- ter, Mrs. Garland Williams, just across the garden, and it was there that she received all the loving care that the fam lily and friends could bestow till the end came.
 She was born on Mulberry north of here and came from an old pioneer family, She married George w. Barham about 46 years ago and to them were born four children-two boys, Wallace and Will, and two daughters. Mrs. Garland Williams and Mrs. Charles McCarter.
 Neighbors, and other people who knew Mrs. Barham, could not help liking her for she had a friendly, joyful disposition, even in trials and adversities, and al. ways met you with a smile. The history of her life and her good works will be the best monu. ment to her memory, and her children may be proud that they had such a mother. When she was twelve years of age she unit ed with the Primitive Baptist Church. and about twenty-four years ago, when the family moved to town. she and Judge Barham united with the Mission ary Baptist Church. there being no Primitive organization near where she might worship with the people of her choice and be- lief.
 Funeral services were conduct ed at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Williams, Tuesday at 2:SO D. m., Elders w. A. Barham and G. w. Bray officiating. Inter- ment was made in Highland Cem- etery to await the all of the great resurrection morn.
 Judge Barham has the sympa- thy of scores of friends in his great bereavement-the first time that death has entered this home.
 A noble life has ended.
 It's deeds are all recorded
 The soul it's way has wended
 Where it will be rewarded.
