Cannot mt Present be Fully
Determined
(Associated Press)

San Francisco, Jan. 21-Central and
Southern California residents, chilled
by two days cold, awoke to warmer
temperature this morning. Tempera-
lures of 26 to SO degrees were effec-
tive throughout most of the citrus
growing district and were sufficient to
cause heavy loss to crops. The coldest
weather, aside from the usual low
marks in the mountains, was 10 de-
grees at Willows, Glenn county, on
Thursday morning.
CITRUS CROPS SUFFERED
How much the orange and lemon
crops suffered cannot be determined
for several days. Orange shippers and
county authorities are expected to
issue formal order today that all
fruit which might have been frost
bitten be inspected before shipment.

MRS. DOROTHY C. EDWARDS

Mrs. Dorothy Caroline Edwards
passed away yesterday afternoon at
1:30 at the home of her son, Mr.. R. T.
Adams.
Mrs. Edwards had been in poor
health for several years. Everything
that loving care and medical aid could
do had been done, but medical aid and
careful nursing could only tighten the
burden and relieve her suffering.
Mrs. Dorothy Caroline Edwards,
whose maiden name was Boyd, was
born at Boyd Tank, Ala, November
4th, 1859. She was married to R. T.
Adams of Selma, Ala Three children
were born of this union, two of whom
survive, Mrs. T. B. StringfeIlow, of
Gainesville, and Mr.. r. T. Adams, of
this city. Her second marriage was
to the late John F. Edwards, of this
city, whom she married in Gaines
vile. They moved to Ocala in 1901,
and Mrs. Edwards has made her home
here since.
Mrs. Edwards has been an invalid
for some time, her poor health caus-
ing her to live retired life. 1t was
with shock that her friends and the
friends of the family heard of her
serious illness and cath. The sincere
sympathy of their many friends is ex-
tended to the bereaved ones in their
time of sorrow. Mrs. Edwards is also
survived by four grandchildren, Hart,
Jack and Arthur Stringfellow, of
Gainesville, and Dorothy Adams of
this city.
The funeral was held from the
Adams residence this afternoon at 3
o'clock. Rev. j. j. Neighbour, of the
Episcopal church, was the officiating
clergymen, and the following gentle
men acted as pail bearers: Messrs.
H. w. Tucker, ]. II. Spencer, w. M.
Palmer, R. Ivan Osten, Bryan Boyd
and Tobe Bracken.
Sam r. Pyles & Company had
charge of the arrangements.

Giacomo Della Chiesa, as Pope
Benedict XIV was christened, spent all
his boyhood in the little Italian town

the Marchesa Givanna Migiorati. Both

He was educated in Capranica Col
lege in Rome and four years later ht
was ordained a priest.
He at once entered the Academy fol
Noble Ecclesiastics from which the
