much better that It was decided to

only temporary, however, and
weeks ago she was confined to her
bod and gradually grew weaker un

The funeral services will be con
ducted by Major J. O. Varnedoe and
the interment will be at the city
cemetery this afternoon at 3 o’clock.
Owing to her feeble condition,
Mis. Upson had met very few peoplo
during her short residence hore,
and was In consequence a stranger,
but the sympathy of the numerous
ft lends of Mr. and Mra. Upson go
out to them In their bereavement.
The pall hearers at the funeral
this afternoon will be as follows:
B. Myddelton, B. 8. Richardson,
O. Cranford, C. 8. Bondnrant, 8.

sition with a view of buying land
and It will require all the real es
tate men In South Georgia to meet
them, distribute literature, talk to

ous counties to sell the land.
