JUDGE CUMMINGS DEAD

Another one of our old-time cit
izens has crossed over the river to
rest with the silent majority. Judge
n. NJ. Cummings passed away on
Thursday night at the home of Miss
Anna Cook, on South Sixth Street.
Judge Cummings had been in failing
health for many months, and his
transition was not a surprise. He
was seventy years of age and had
lived in Columbus for many years,
coming here from Oktibbeha County,
where he served as circuit clerk for
two decades.
Judge Cummings was formerly one
of the justices Of the peace of Lown-
des County, and was at one time a
member of the police force of Colum-
bus. He was a public-spirited cit
izen, as honest as sunshine, and true
to every trust reposed in him.
Funeral services, conducted by the
Rev. Thos. H. Lipseomb, were held at
three o'clock yesterday afternoon at
Friendship Cemetery. where his re-
mains were laid to rest.
