In her life and char act-er was com bined and blended all of those excellent virtues which go to make up a true Chris tian woman for the Master’s use A sweet friend, most useful and beautiful Christian, a devoted and unselfish wife and mother was Mrs McDonald. A noble ■example worthy of imitation. Though modest in disposition, her quietGodly life, coupled with her intellectual qualifications.was a benediction to hhe comrnnnity and church.

Truly the pathway of Mrs. Me Donald grew brighter toward the end and as her loved ones gathered around her, so sweetly did she speak and admonish, as if going on a long leave of absence, yes she had nobly enlisted under the banner of the cross of Jesus Christ, and having won the fight, She was ready for the call and death was swallowed up in .

The fol¬ lowing are the changes: If a mileage ticket or tickets containing insufficient mileage to carry passenger to destination are tendered, ticket agent I d* tacb all mileage in cover or I covers and collect from passen-! per the additional amount in cash [ at 21 cents per mile to cover the 1 difference between the mileage detached and the mileage to des tinatioa, and issue one continu¬ ous passage ticket to destination Example: If passenger should presr nt mileage ticket containing 100 coupons to agent at Macon and request passage ticket to Birmingham, to which the au¬ thorized mileage is 254 miles, the agent wilt detach coupons re-; maining in the mileage ticket and issue mileage exchange tickets: in usual manner, collecting $3.85 in cash, this amount representing 2k cents per mile for 154 miles,: the difference between the 100 miles Jor which coupons were de- 1 tached from the mileage ticket’ and the 254 miles, authorized mileage between Macon and Lit - m mgham. Previous instructions concern ing mileage detachments' re quireed that one coupon be dc tached tor each mile or fraction | thereof traveled. Effective June 1, 1908, ticket agents will detach 1 ne cou ff° n lrom a11 tickets for each mile or fraction ' <>r a mite five-tenths or ov.m\ detachment will ue . mad; fractions of a mile less than ,i. ■ : tenths of a mile, This does not, j however, ’ alter the instructions I 1 relative to detaching the mini¬ mum number of coupons for! each journey as provided for ini contract of the ticket* NO. 14 V "HARO CLINCH" GEORGIA WOOD FIBRE PLASTER Be&ts the world for holding and lasting qualities.
