The blow was very sudden. The prominence of his family In his town and county gave this noble boy bright and promising prospects of future success, and his aptness and energy would well have fitted him for the place which the fu ture held out to him. The burial sendees were conducted by Rev. R. II. Dudley, the resident Baptist minister of Mitchell. A deeper shadow than the gathering shadows of night now rests upon the lonely, stricken homo, but his loved onea should remember that "Weeping night, Wednesday, 3 Kitchens, only son A V icent. "The divorce suit, as first announced, will be Hied by Mr. Renfroe Jackson." This was stated positively by 8an\- uel D. Hewlett, attorney for Mr. Jack- son, to a representative of The Geor gian Saturday morning, upon being asked the direct question. "I have no statement to make," Mr. Hewlett told the newspaper men Sat urday. "There Is nothing to say at present Neither has Mr. Jackson a statement of any kind." "Since you state," he was asked, "that there are no negotiations now pending between you. aa attorney for Mr. Jackson, and the uttnrney for Mrs. Jackson, will you state that the divorce suit will be filed by Mr. Jackson?" “It certainly will," replied the attor ney. "Will you state." he was asked fur ther. “that regsrdless of whatever ne gotiations are now pending between the parties. If there are any. or nego- tlatlonH that are likely to be made, the divorce suit will be filed?" “Yes. I will say that Mr. Jackson Is positively going to file a divorce suit.” Further than this, and the statement of his belief that he did not think Mrs. Jackson could have given out any such Interview* as had been accredited to her In a morning paper, the reporter was unable to get anything from Mr. Hewlett. The attorney said Friday, in response to a direct question, that- he had re ceived a telephone communication from Mrs. Jackson. In Indianapolis, but. on account of poor connection, he could not catch what she said. When usked again Saturday morning If Mrs. Jackson had called up Mr. Jackson over the long distance 'phone, and he had refused to talk to her, he stated that this waa not so. "She called me up. but. as far as I know—and 1 think I would know—she made no effort to talk to Mr. Jackson, so he did not refuse to talk to her." MRS. JACKSON WILL NOT FIGHT HUSBAND'S 8UIT.

These reasons will be fully given In a divorce complaint she Intends to file, unless he files one ahead of her. In which case she will probably make no cbntest. being only anxious for a legal separation. She asserts they quarreled because she svowed her Intention of going to Washington to have an opera tion performed; that her Juisband and Creelman were boon companions, and that the latter was urged by the former to see her and try and bring about a may endure for a night, but Joy com- | reconciliation.
