As a druggist he was recognized as
one of the best this city ever had,
and his pleasant disposition and uni-
form courtesy made him a trade-
winner for the several business in-
sittutions he was identified with dur-
ing his thirty years of active business
life in this city.
He was a kind and affectionate hhs-
band and father, a true and loyal
friend. He was a sincere member of

and was given to the jury Tuesday
night, the jury reported Wednesday
morning returning a verdict of not

ant. Special comment was passed on
the masterful way in which Mr. Shep-

that they were not surprised at the
verdict of the jury, after having heard
the facts as presented the jury by Mr.

DEATH OF PAULINE RIPLEY
Miss Pauline Ripley, daughter of
Mrs. Paul Ripley, died at the home of
J. B. Hinnant, in this city Wednesday
afternoon at *5:30 o’clock, after a
year’s affliction of lung trouble. Some
months ago she was taken to Ama-
rillo, where It was hoped the high r.l-
titude wouid be beneficial, but she
gradually grew worse and the doc-
tor advised that ^nothing could be
done, so she was brought back here
to spend her last days at her life-
long home, with and near her loved
ones and many friends.
‘Tis indeed sad to see the Grim
Monster of Death lay its blighting
hands on such an ideal young lady,
just as she enters upon the vista of
womanhood, but we are taught that
“God Doeth All Things Wisely,” and
tnose whose hearts are racked with
sorrow should find solace in the
thought that their loved one has only
been transformed to higher joys, in
a land of joy, peace and happiness ev-
erlasting.
The funeral services were conduct-
ed at the home of J. B. Hinnant yes-
terday afternoon at 4 o’clock by Rev.
Russell B. Whiteside, who told of
Christian fortitude and many ennobl-
ing treit3 of character possessed by
the departed one.
The remains were laid to rest in
the City Cemetery, many friends and
relatives attending the sacred rites.
A number of beautiful floral offerings
bespoke the love and esteem of friends
and loved ones.
The Gazette extends its sympathies
to the bereaved mother, grand-parents,
and other relatives in their great sor-
row.
Winter is coming and with it, the
rain. So, you had better bring that
old parasol in to us and let us put a
new top on it for you. More goods

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT
The beautiful life of our beloved
friend, Mrs. T. W. Beville, on earth,
is ended. Death occurred in her home
at Como, Saturday, Sept. 2nd., 1916.
We are deeply grieved over the loss
of our friend, who was indeed a true
wife, a devoted mother and a conse-
crated Christian, being converted at
an early age, and uniting with the M.
E. church South, and has since that
time lived a true Christian life.
She was in bed of affliction for
several weeks, but bore her suffer-
ing with all patience and was ready
for the Master’s call.
In the death of Sister Beville, the
church and community has lost a
strong Christian, who was always ,
ready to lend a helping hand to those
around her and loyal to the work of
her Master. Therefore,
Be it resolved: First—That the
removal of such a life from our midst
leaves a vacancy and a shadow that
will be deeply realized in the home
and will prove a loss to the communi-
ty.
Second—That we, the members of
the Forest Academy church and Sun-
day school extend to the broken-heart-
ed husband and children our deepest
sympathy in these, their sad hours of
sorrow.
Third—That we bow in humble sub-
mission to the will of our Father and
say, “Thy will be done,” not mine.'
Fourth—That a copy of these resolu-
tions be spread upon the Sunday
school record. A copy be furnished
the family and a copy sent to the Ga-
zette for publication.
