had' been quite 111 for .several
days of jaundice but rested well'

Mrs. Ritchie's maiden name
was Miss Tryphena Miller. She
was born June 14th, 1835, and
was therefore nearing her 67th
birthday.
She was married in 1855. In
June, 18SG, she was bereft of her j ms wag marked up ft hulo less

good
will. To know her well
was to become endeared to her.
The circle of hor warm frhnds
about her bear a burden of deep
sadness at their own loss of a
very dear friend as well as that
of sympathetic grief for the two
sons especially, for whom she
made a pleasant home, was in
herself a homft.
It is especially sad that when
alarming symptoms set in on
Sunday all efforts to reach her
sons and daughters away by
telegraph or telephone were un
availing and the first news to
reach them was the saddest pos
sibla. The remains were taken to
Richfield today on No. 30 .and
will be kept tonight in the home
of Mr. J D Earnhardt and will be
buried tomorrow at Wesley
Chapel M. E. church, of which
she was a faithful and worthy
member.
Her surviving children in the
order of their ages are Wm. A,
Jno. A and Charles P RLchie,
Mrs. D A Rogers, Mrs. J D
Earnhardt and Mec L, Walter P
and Mumpford F Ritchie.

her life. She wag at her broth

her arm caught in the belting.

mashed and the left one was
bruised considerably. Her in
juries are very painful, though
not necossarily fatal. High

The absence of mortgage sales

Iter. Mr. Miller to be Installed on 23rd.
Rev. VT H Hiller will be in

Rev. L E Busby, D. D., will
officiate.
After looking at the thing
from all sides we have to confess
fess that we cannot understand
why it is that no man is willing
to make a try at the chief
justiceship. It cannot be bo
cause they do not want it, and
we cannot believe they had
rather see Judge Clark honored
with it than have it themselves.
