fire originated in the cook-room. By
the time the fire fighters reached the
scene, it was known that the building
could not be saved, and they worked
manfully and managed to save most
of the household goods. The small
house back of the main building did
not catch and neither did the barn,

the buildings

GONt TO
HER REWARD.
Mrs. Fora Winfrey, After a Long
Illness. Crossed 10 the Other
Side last Friday Morning
MANYYEARs A RESIDENT OF COLUMBIA.

= Last Friday morning, few minutes
before 9 o'clock, Mrs. Fora Winfrey,
who had been a resident of Columbia
for more than half century, crossed
over to be with her God.
Her death was not unexpected, as
she had been on the decline for some
years, having received fall from
which she never fully recovered. For
two months past her demise has been
expected by her sons and those who
daily visited her.
The deceased was native of Cum
berland county, removing to Columbia
with her sister, Mrs. T. G. Winfrey,
about the close of the civil war.
She was twice married her first hus
band, DR.. J. r Davidson, who was
che father of her oldest son, Mr.. T.
G. Davidson, who is United States
Commissioner, and Well-known to the
people of Adair county Her second
husband was Mr.. F. r. Winfrey, who
died nearly eight years ago. To this
last union there we're born two chill
dren, daughter, who died in infancy,
and Mr.. NJ. C. Winfrey, who is cir
cult court clerk of this county, known
to all the people, as good business
man. To the surviving sons this COM
munity tenders its heartfelt sympa-
thy.
Her daughter.in-law, Mrs. David.
son, was constantly at her bedside
during her long spell Of sickness, ad-
ministering to her every want, and
her Christian acts and devotedness,
was noted and commented upon by
neighbors, who knew of her tender
care and close watchfulnesS. She and
her husband lived in the home and
the fidelity of the son is also COM
mendable.
The deceased was a member of the
Methodist Church, and before she be-
came disabled, she was a regular at
tendant upon services, and a contrib
utor to the ordinances of the congre-
cation.
She was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Harvey Saufley, and il our
information is correct she was born
in BurkesVille about 50 years ago.
Notwithstanding her affection God
has been good to her. She has lived
to see her sons grown and in business,
both happily married.
There is nothing that touches the
heart like the separation from a good
mother. Her counsel will be missed,
and her affectionate admonitions will
forever ring in their ears. May God
comfort them in this hour of sadness,
ever looking to Him for comfort, is
the wish of the writer.
The funeral services we're held Sat.
urday afternoon at 2o'clock, from the
home, conducted by Rev. Jesse L. Muir
rell and at TIE close the remains were
conveyed TO the city cemetery and
deposited by the side of her husband,
her grave covered with beautiful
floral designs,

FEEBLE BLOOD
WORKS HAVOC
GUIDES Pepto-Mangan Makes Red
Blood; Liquid and Tablet Form

When blood becomes thin and weak
it is due to falling off in the num-
Der Of red blood cells. 1t is easily
recognized by pallid skin or blem-
ished complexion, loss of appetite or
unnatural irritability and sensa-
ton of weakness. 1t is not dangerous
at first. In fact, many people scarcely
notice it and go on for days, think
ing they will be better the next day.
The great danger is in the posi-
bility of becoming seriously i'll from
disease, which can work havoc in a
body that lacks the endurance and
resistance in ricb, red blood.
Taken in time and steadily, few
bottles of GUIDES Pepto- Mangan are
a great help. 1t improves the quality
of the blood by adding red blood cells.
They check the weakness, improve the
appetite, and clear the complexion.

THE NEW DIPLOMACY

Conference would probably DC
the forerunner OF future confer
ences on all questions OF inter-
national interest. We had hardly
anticipated SO early a confirmation
oil our views, but now the cables
bring rumors from London OF an
international economic confer
cnce to be held at Washington,
at which Lloyd George and Pre-
mier BRAND will be two OF the
delegates. Indeed, it has been
the subject OF comment by the
leading London newspapers. who
speak hopefully OF the results. II
is again expected that the United
States will take the initiative and
issue>the invitations. This. Tor
several reasons. but mainly be
cause this country is the Chief
creditor nation. and on grounds
OF delicacy the debtor nations OF
Europe could hardly introduce
the proposition.
At such a conference quite
naturally the PREPARATIONS question
would come up. and just as natu-
rally. the United States, being III
a certain sense. d neutral. would
be expected to assume the role
OF an impartial judge, listening
to all the testimony. sitting 1t
ir,dicially, and rendering a right
eous decision.
That this would go far III
smoothing the troubled waters OF
European finance, there can be
no question. Economic affairs
are chaotic over there, Germany
on the very verge OF bankruptcy,
others nearly as bad. and no APP
parent hope OF early rcad)uSt-
ment.
The encouraging feature seems
to be that the new departure IN
diplomacy has taken root all over
tac world. Delegates are to re-
place ambassadors. Conferences
are to be held at the mandate OF
the peoples.
Ambassadors have been hithcr-
to the creatures OF their SOY
creigns, the tools OF foreign minis
tiers, or the political appolntees Of
a party. and as a rule. puppets
moved by strings of secrecy and
intrigue. Negotiations have been
under cover. instructions in cipher,
and the whole proceeding en-
veloped i'll a mrlrky atmosphere
OF political iineSse and stratagem.
Secretary Hughes shattered the
traditions OF centuries when he
boldly threw his cards on the
diplomatic table and told the as
scfnblcd statesmen how he pro-
posed to play them. This is, III
deed, the new diplomacy, and the
only diplomacy appropriate to
dcnocracieS.
There was u worldwide Weari-
ness OF war; the peoples every
where were demanding some
means OF ending the periodic
orgies OF strife and bloodSllcd OF
which they invariably bore the
brunt. Their leaders heard the
ominous rumbling and ior their
own safety gave heed. This Dis
armament Conference has been
the result.
With conferences on inter
national problems war is difficult;
it Will become more and more SO
with each succeeding sitting. un-
til finally it will be impossible
from its very absurdity. We may
thus justly hope that the new
diplomacy inaugurated by the
United States. will cventuate III
securing to mankind that peace
for which it has always prayed
but which it has never been able
to secure.
