D. L. TRAVIS
DIED AT RALLS
The host of friends of Duke L.
Travis were shocked Tuesday morning
to learn by wire that he had passed
| away that morning at 3:30 at the
jhome of Rev. H. Hall at Rails, West
i Texas.
i Mr Travis had spent the fall and
winter at Ralls buynig cotton and
was preparing to return home. A
week before he took a hunt with some
friends and exposed himself and con- been in her usual health until a few

bed until Tuesday night. Two good vvas powerless to aid her waning
physicians and trained nurses were physical being.
Funeral services were held at the
home Monday, March 3rd, at 10 a. m.,
conducted by Rev. K. R. Isbell, as-
sisted by Rev. J. A. Kidd, interment
taking place in Oak Lawn cemetery.
Deceased was born in Morgan
county, Ala., June 29, 1830. She in-
herited two large plantations and
was educated in the best colleges of
the East at that time, and traveled
extensively. She was married in 1848
to Dr. J. Haywood Jones, who served
as a colonel in the Confederate army,
and died at the close of the war. To
this union was born two sons, William
H. Jones of Cooper, and Zandy Jones
who died many years ago. She is
also survived by six grand children,
three by each son, Marshall, Paul,
and W. H. Jones, Jr., of Cooper and
B. C. Jones of Dallas, H. H. Jones of
Kansas City and Mrs. Bettie Brock-
wav of New Orleans.
She moved from Alabama to Tenn-
essee in 1876 and 1879 was married
to Dr. William H. Maury, who lived
only 2 years. She came to Cooper in
1897 where she has since made her
home. She connected herself with
the Episcopal church early in life
and lived a devoted Christian life.
She retained her faculties well for
one of her advanced age and her cul-
ture and education made her an inter-
esting character, and she wras especial-
ly popular with the children of the
neighborhood, with whom she was ac-
customed to divide sweetmeats.

of his brothers and sister, wife and
all his children except Mrs. Gervers,
who was unable to go to his bedside.

burial, reaching Ben Franklin Wed-
nesday at 12:15 p. m. and met by
! Smith’s hearse and brought to his
home in Cooper.

WAS IT INSURED?
The usual after the fire question.
Everyone has come to look on insur-
ance as a necessity.
But—There are several questions
that you should ask yourself about
your own property, now!
Is it adequately insured? Is it in-
sured in a company that handles loss-
es in a business-like way? Are the
goeds that it contains insured? Is it
ests of its policy holders? . Is it in-
sured in a company that would not be
put out of business by a great confla-
gration? Is it insured in a company
that helps its policy holders to pre-
vent fire? There are a host of other
considerations.
Let. this agency prove the value of
its service and soundness of its poli-
cies.
