Mrs. Frank J. Ford died at 9:20
Friday evening. May 11, 1923, at her
home in north Decatur. Funeral ser-
vices were conducted from the family
residence Saturday afternoon at 1

Rebecca Kenney was born jn De-
catur in 1874, a daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. A. S. Kenny; was 47 years of age
at the time of her death. She had been
in failing health from a complication
of disorders for several years, and
was confined to her home, but her last
illness sapped her vitality and de-
cided against her continuance of life.
On April 26, 1900, she was married
to Frank J. Ford. Three children
were horn to them—Clarence, John
and Franklin. Besides her husband
and two sons, she leaves her mother,
Mrs. A. S. Kenny, three sisters, Mrs.
Will Renshaw, Bridgeport; Mrs. Jack
Cates, Decatur, and Mrs. Jack Moss,
Sweetwater, and one brother, Floyd
Kenny, all of whom were present dur-
ing her last hours. «
In early life Mrs. Ford became
member of the Baptist church. Her
beautiful, unselfish Christian charac-
ter is known to all who knew her at
all. Self-sacrificing, generous, noble,
and true to her ideals; a loving'
and devoted wife and mother, an un-

The Texas Press Association, after
years of effort, has finally enacted in-
to law a bill establishing legal rates
for newspapers in the Lone Star
State. •
The association started with a bill
to have all notices formerly posted,
published in some newspaper. Now
the state has established a rate that
will allow all papers to compete on an
equitable basis for the work, and that
gives to the notices the same consid-
eration as other
tiling.
The measure is
for its simplicity,
the rate the lowest advertising rate
obtained by the newspaper for com-
mercial advertising. The measure is
bound to have a very beneficial ef-
fect on the practice or rate cutting.
Also it puts an end to the cheap graft
of an extortionate rate for what is
known as political advertising.
Here is the measure as passed and
which will go into effect June 14 of
this year:
H. B. No. 185, “An act to provide
for the printing of all proclamations
and legal notices or other advertising
matter by the different institutions of
the state, districts, counties and sub-
divisions thereof, and providing for
maximum fees to be charged for said
publications and directing the manner
of payment thereof, and repealing all
laws in conflict herewith, and declar-
ing an emergency."
Be it enacted by the legislature of
the State of Texas: .

is quoted as saying that indications
