Miss Amanda Fulton
Goes to Het Reward
——— . \ :.
wWas One of Terrell County’s Oldest
And Most Beloved Women.
\liss Amanda Fulton, probably the
I}~ resident of Terrell eounty, pags
“:l‘f;\"\. + Thursday morming after an
ed 7 f two weeks, at the home of
]1“111“,:;“,‘:' Mrs., W. J. Thornton, of
1"[""‘ ffl““ {ew years ago Miss Fulton
M ident of Dawson, was born
.“n\\\"‘,,‘vh county, but r?mOVEd to
m ' county in early childhood, and
Terre o the first citizens of Daw
e ";‘j-(x‘lh only a stretch of timber

If,‘,.\ the Fulton family, consisting of
“;l‘f mother, two sons, John and Rob
the 7 4 daughter, Miss Amanda, oc
‘,fl,"-.‘fi‘ ihe residence on Vine street
by as the “round top” house.
}i“i':w-*' who can remember that time,
eo familiar with the beauty_ of its
¢ rroundings. The Fulton family were
:l;‘iu,t nature lovers, apd their’ yard
was a mass of bloom in all: geasons,
olanted by their own hands. ,Every
flowering shrub that bloomed in the
wamp was moved from its habitat to
ploom on their premises, and every
cecies of plant known had ‘a place
;{,l,m With their love of flowers was
mingled a love of music, and in years
gone by Miss Amanda sat at the me
jodeon with her brothers accompany
ing her on violin and_flute. |
She was one of nine children, and
\\;;.~ the last of the (am'fly, her nearesti
relatives now being nieces and
‘ nephews, of whom she has a large:
' connection. Early in childhood she be
came a member of the Methodist
church, and was an active figure in alli
its organizations until her advanced
age prohibited. Until the last she was
| interested in every .go.od movement
and was quick to aid in any worthy
cause. 1t can be truly said of this be
joved woman that she ‘grew old grace
fully. Those closest to her say that the
older she grew the sweeter was her|
disposition, and she was never seen
without a smile on her face. The end
came quictly, peacefully—as .she had
lived—and with one foot across the
[ border of the better world she spoke
' to many loved ones who _had gone
over long ago, and had only to close
| her weary eyes to be with them across
the dividing line.
The funeral service was conducted
by her pastor, Rev. Reese Griffin, at
Doverel at 10 o’clock Friday morning,
aiter which interment was at Cedar
Hill cemetery in Dawson, where she
was laid to rest beside her loved ones.%
The last'census showed that there
were 4,500 Indians in Oregon.

GRAVE OF LINCOLN’S
WAS KILLED BY INDIANS IN
1786 WITHIN SIGHT OF HIS
HUMBLE CABIN.
‘LOUISVILLE, Ky—TFhe grave of
Abraham Lincoln, grandfather of the
martyred president, has been found in
a church yard near here, in the belief
of several Louisvillians who recently
have completed an extensive investi
gation. ;
The investigators found two stones
—their inscriptions blotted away by
long exposure to the elements—which
they believe mark the grave of the
grandfather, who was killed by In
dians in 1786 within sight of his cabin
and before the eyes of his three sons.
According to R. C. Ballard Thurs
ton, who has made a preliminary in
vestigation of deeds in the Jefferson
county court house, the examination
warrants the belief the land compeosing
the church yard is part of the Lin
coln property, which included 400
acres.
Additional details of the death of
Lincoln’s grandfather- have been re
veated ‘by the investigation, it was
stated. ,
When their father fell mortally
woimded Mordecai ran to the house
and procured a rifle while Josiah dart
ed for a nearby fort to obtain aid.
Thomas, then a boy of 9 years, re
mained with his father.
According to the findings an Indian
seized Thomas and was about to scalp
him when Mordecai returned and shot
the savage to death. Thomas was re
leased and later became the father of
the president.

IN THE ROOM ESCAPED
SERIOUS INJURY.
Bob Gardner, a well known Terrell
county negro, was instantly killed by
a stroke of lightning when a severe
electrical storm swept over the south
ern part of the county Wednesday af
ternoon. The negro, with several oth
er farm' hands, had taken refuge ‘from
the rain in a tenant house when the
tragedy occurred. The electrical cur

and tore out one side of the house.
None of the other inmates were hurt
except a .slight shock to the wife of
the negro occupant of the dwelling,
who was in bed quite ill. Gardner nev

For years this law-abiding and in
dustrious negro was one of the most
valued tenants on the farm of Mr. J.
D. Laing, and had the respect of
white and colored.
A heavy rain followed the electrical
display. No other damage to the com
munity resdlted from the storm.

A. 0. BLALOCK PROMINENT
VISITOR TO DAWSON
‘Was Here Monday in Interest of His
Candidacy for Commissioner.
Mr. A. O. Blalock, former internal
revenue collector for Georgia, was in
Dawson Monday. Mr. Blalock is a
candidate for commissioner of agricul
ture. He met many of the Terrell
county voters while here, and judging
by the expressions heard on all sides,
he made a Most favorable impression.
Mr. Blalock’s business-like record as
revenue collector will no doubt give
him a strong pull on the farmers of
Georgia. He thinks he can easily cut
the expenses of the office many thous
ands of dollars short of what they
have been. _

Girls Are Making T heir
‘ Way By Killing Rats
Two Cultured Misses Use New Voca

~ NASHVILLE, Tenn.—The young
woman who jumps on a chair and
shrieks when she sees a mouse will be
amazed to learn that Miss Anna Mae
Wright and Mrs. D. M. Staples are
Ibusily engaged in killing rats and are
making money out of it.
These two—said to be the first pro
fessional woman rat killers in history—
are Virginians of good birth and edu
cation. They started their new yoca
tion in Nashville and will soon go to
New York.
Miss Wright and Mrs. Staples use
barium’ carbonate as_poison,. followjng
suggestions of the United States pub
lic health department. Their metho«il 18
this: They visit a big warehouse or
place of business and by quoting sta
tistics prove that tats are wasteful,
costly and a menace to health. Then,
having made a confract, Mrs. Staples
and Miss Wright set bait—sausages;,
tomatoes, cheese—full of barium car
bonate. The rats after eating seek a
secluded spot outside and give up the
phogt »- ° gy
The female Pied Pipers will bait a
public market place gratis. Thus they
intend to travel from city to city, see

CIVIL BUSINESS OF THE SES

T Rk T S W
‘-What is declared by lawyers and
officials to have been the lightest civil
docket on record was taken up and
disposed of in Terrell superior court
Monday. Several uncontested divorce
cases and a few other civil matters of
ino general interest were tried. The
only case involving any considerable
amount of interest was that of Wm.
C. Bryan, a resident of Chicago,
against the Dawson Paper Shell Pecan
Company, wherein the plaintiff sued
on a judgment for approximately five
thousand dollars obtained against the
pecan company in an lllinois court.
Before this matter; reached -the jury,
however, attorneys for Bryan dismiss
ed the suit.
The grand jury is still in session
and ‘is not expected::to make its final
repart to.the court until next week.
i.’l’m;_criminal docket . will be taken up
next Monday and the length of the
’court's session at that time will depend
upon the number of indictments that
}may be returned by that body. One
of the criminal matters to be heard
is that of the state against Balkman,

all of Monday, if not longer, to try
this case.
