1909, at 2:40 p. m., Sophronla,

arduous for her and she enjoyed an
extreme happiness ln providing en
tertainment for her friends and rel
atives, and all who ln any manner
were thrown upon her hospitality.
Those attending the funeral from

A Ited-Hot Day.
Today has been one of the hot
test and most depressing of the sea
son. Last night was a very hot one,
there being no breeze blowing the
entire night and this morning dawn
ed very sultry and hot. A breee
has sprung up during the day and
tempers the fierceness of the sun's
rays somewhat. The thermometer
Is not as high as one would think,
registering 96 degrees at noon.
The weather Is reported to bo
playing havoc with animals, and
many cases of horses being over
heated are reported. Dr. W. D.
Jones states that he is kept on the
go by the cases reported to him, all
directly attributable to poor Judg
ment of horse owners and drivers
ln handling the steeds.
The weather bureau predicts
showers for today with fair weather
tomorrow. Little relief from the In
tense heat Is promised for several
days.

Paint that Pays!

That's Fatton's Sun Proof Paint. Why? Because it covers
more surface, wears longer and looks better than any other
high grade paint on the market.
It adds greatly to the beauty and attractiveness of a pro

the cost of painting.
