IN LOVING MEMORY.

Annie Maize Boiling, daughter of R.
A. and Adeline Ross, was born Dec.
18th, 1895, near Sardis, Tenn, and
died Sept. 9Th, 1921, in the home of
her father-in-law, J. H. Boiling, in
Lexington, Tenn.
She professed religion at the age of
IA years and soon thereafter joined
the church at that place. She lived
true and consecrated Christian all
the after days of her life, which was
cut off when she was but in the bloom
of young womanhood.
She was married to W. c. Boiling
Dec. 22nd, 1912, and to that union two
children were born and survive, to-
gether with the devoted husband, two
brothers, Willie and John A. Ross,
one sister, Cora, and her father.
Those who had the privilege of in
timately knowing Mrs. Boiling testify
that she was as lovable and sweetly
disposed as the days were long and
that as a wife, mother, daughter, sis
ter and friend she wet every obliga-
tion and won every heart.
We who loved her do not doubt that
her soul is resting in peace.
ONE WHO LOVED HER.

There are enough high class sing

a good sized opera company. This is
not to be wondered at as Captain

may not be generally known that
Captain Swain was an operate i'm

final breach with the theatrical syn
dictate, but such is the case. Quar-

be frequent occurrences during the
