Mrs. McNair Dies
Wednesday afternoon at four
o’clock, Mrs Hattie McNair pass
ed away at her home west of town,
after suffering about three days
from au attack of hemorrhagic
fever,
Mrs. MoNair was probably thir
ty-eight years of age.
Her sad death makes total or
phans of seveu children, v>z. A G.
Jno. F., Agues, Perry, Mack,
Dewey and Lester McNair.
The two eldest boys are mem
bers of the U. S. Navy. Mr. A. G.
was stationed in New Jersey and
Mr. Jno, F. was in California
when messages t ere wired to them
of their mother’s death.
The body could not he held
for them to reach here, so it was
interred in the city c-meterv
Tuesday afternoon, in the presence
of many friende.
The deceased whs a member of
the Missionary Baptist church;
but since there is no resident pas
tor, Rev. R. F. Dennis conducuted
the impressive funeral service by
the open grave.
The five younger children, who
were with their mother, are still at
their stricken home. For some
time Miss Bettie Hand, au aunt of
Mrs. McNair, has made her home
with the deceased; and she desires
very much to keep the younger
together there; but there are some
propositions advocating that ♦hey
be placed in an Orphan’s Home.
Many regret that this patient
end industrious mother was claim
ed by death in the prime of life.
May He who carelh for the
swallow, care for the widow's loved
ones.

Today
Sure, this world is full of trouble—
I ain’t said it ain’t.
Lord! I’ve bad enough and double
Reason for complaint.
Rain and storm have come to fret
me,
Skies are often gray;
Thorns and brambles’ve beset me
On the road—but, say,
Ain’t it fine today.
What’s the use of always weepi g,
Making trouble last?
What’s the use always keeping
Thinking of the past?
Each mint have his tribulation,
Water with his wine.
Life, it ain’t no celebration
Trouble? I’ve bad mine—
But today is tine.
It’s today that I’m living.
Not a month ago.
Havin’, losin’, takin’, giviu’—
As time wills is so.
Yesterday a cloud of sorrow
Fell across the way;
It may rain again tomorrow,
I| may rain, but, say,
Ain’t it tine today.

i Saturday, accompanied by her

Error Corrected
In glancing last week from a
window, the editress concluded
that Mr. L. A. Bolton’s residence
wns being recovered; but it wasn’t
Mr. Bolton’s dwelling which was
being lesliingled. It was Mrs.
Nora Hatcher’s home; and she had
the no. 1 cypress shingles used
for tlie roof.
We intended correcting this er
ror before the paper went to press;
but while she was up the street
verifying that local item, and sev,
eial others, those working in the
printing office, “locked up’’ and
ran the papers off the press.

Injustice to the Dead
and the Living
It has been proven bepond th
shadow of adoubt that tae late W
I. Moody, former Tax Collector,
paid will) the County’s tax money
for two car loads of oats; an :
turned them over to the prop' r
authorities to be fed th the Com.
ty's mules.
Aft- r years of dissention, Mr
.VL.udy’s bondsmen had to tur i
over to tl.eCoiiuty the amount th-,
officer had paid for the oats, and
m ire, to ; the attorney admittiu r
the purchase of ths oats, btft claic -
ing that no bill or invoice bi -I
been presented for them until tl -
four years, the statute of limit, -
tion, bad expirea.
Tin sc are the facts, and this is
why Gov. Clifford Walker sigm d
the bill passed t,y loth hauses, or
dering that the money paid for
those oats by tbebondsmen be re
funded.
