light and heat essential to their com

ficiently general to cause any serious
misgivings as to the ultimate advan

The merchants who published a no

Came to the home of Mrs. Forehand in
TEast Vienna Monday and asked for
board, paying in advance for a week.
His presence was nqted by Mayor Ly
tle who unable to find out his business
here from others approached him
while he wap seated in the park Tues
day afternoon and was greeted with
absolute silence. The stranger arose
quickly and departed but a signal
from Mayor Lytle to Marshal Pen
nington brought about his prompt ar
rest, When questioned he claimed to
be a Canadian and a card writer by
profession, it Is understood that he
made conflicting statements telling
others that he was a knife sharpener
and a chinawaro salesman.

■the wife after a few years and later
M- Rushin was married to Mrs. Mary
Frances Lilly, she also died a few
years following the marriage and
then his last marriage to Miss Mary
Leo Jefferson, of Columbus, was con
summated.
Mr. Bushin’s principal occupation
from early life was farming. In this
he.was highly successful, he owns ex
tensive lands thoughout the county,
all of which arc In an excellent state
of cultivation. 4
He was; also prominent politically,
having served the county for a num
ber of years as tax collector. He al
so enjoyed the distinction of having
represented the district as senator
and was serving as Dooly’s representa
tive in the House when stricken with
the paralytic attack in June, 1916,
from' which he never completely ral
lied, although he finished his term
and has sln'ce that time until a short
time prior to his death looked after
the conduct of his own business.
Mr. Rushin was a member of tho
Missionary Baptist church, having,
aligned wimself to that religious body
in his youth and having for the great
er portion of his life served as a mem

The unexpected demise of Mrs. J.
S. Morgan occurring at her home sev
eral miles west of this city Wednesday
morning, March 27th, brought sorrow
to a wide circle of friends and Ac
quaintances throughout this section.
Mrs. Morgan had been quite frail
/or many years having within recent
years suffered several extremely se
vere Illnesses. Just previous to her
death, however, she was apparently
quite well and had only returned to
her home the day before from -the
bedside of her father, Mr. J. J. Mur
ray, where she had been ministering *
to him in his suffering. She was alone
at home looking after her domestic .
affairs when the call came to her. She
was found on the floor of the dining
room where-she had fallen, having
passed away, it U presumed quickly
and without pain.
The deceased before her first mar
riage to Mr. Jathea Duke was Bliss
Leila Murray. Sometime after the
death of Mr. Duke she was married
to Mr. J. S. Morgan who survives her.
Mrs. Morgan was a sweet, Christian
character, she was a loyal member of
the Methodist church and possessed
a geptienesa and refinement of man
ner that' gave her distinctive charm.
At the time of her death Mrs. Mor
gan was 58 years of age.
The funeral services were conduct
ed Thursday afternoon at 4 o’clock
from the home, Rev. Hearn, of By-
romville, assisted by Rev. Cates, of
Cordole' officiating. The remains were,
interred at the'Goilier Cemetery. The
services were largely attended.

ing a recent deposit of $100 made by
him in a Hawktnsville bank, he had
only a small amount of money In his
pockets. A bag in hit possession cou
tained tools of various Idnds.
He was asked by the officials for
references where they might obtain
satisfactory identification of him but
he could not or preferred not to fur

After careful consideration the of

suspect until the Federal authorities
could be notified. »
