The entire community was greatly shocked Sunday morning by the an nouncement that Mrs. Mary Flizabeth Cunningham, wife of Rev. J. T. Cun ningham, had suddenly expired at her home on Main street. Mrs. Cunning ham had gotten up at the usual hour and had almost alone prepared the morning meal which was just completed when she fell and expired immediately. For several months her health had been in a precarious condition and was the source of much solicitude to her family and friends, but the end was none the less a deep sorrow and shock. Mrs. Cunningham was Miss Mary Flizabeth Heard, anc^was reared in Clay and Monroe counties. She became the wife of Rev. J. T. Cunningham at an early age and as the wife of a Methodistmin ister her home was frequently changed as the laws of the church require. In the duties which fall to the lot of an itinerant minister her husband found in her a helpmeet and companion who was a solace and a comfort under all the varying conditions that surrounded them. In his pastoral work he received that assistance which only the true Christian wife could give, and hand in hand they ministered to those among whom their lot was cast. Her life was every day a sermon from which noble lessons of self-sacrifice, untiring devo tion to duty, and deep cousecration to Christ were drawn. Mrs. Cunningham wan the mother of eiedit children, all of whom survive. These are George H-, Ha?, Joe. J T. Jr., and Earley, the son*, and Mrs. Hobson. Mrs. McElroy, and Mrs. Boothe, the daughters Two of the sons. Rev. Hal Cunningham and Rev .1. T. Cunningham are ministers of the Methodist church. In her home life was portrayed all the tender and motherly instincts. To her husband and her children she was devoted and each was at all times the recipient of that loving care that comes from deepest affection. In return she was the idol of her family and upon her was bestowed the tenderest love and affection by each member. She was an active worker ia the church and was greatly beloyed by her associates. At a recent meeting of the Woman’s Foreign Mission Society one of the scholarships pledged by the congregation of her church here was named in her honor, a compliment she ridhly merited. The funeral services were conducted at the Methodist church by Rev. T. W. Lewis assisted by Rev, N, G. Augustus. The remarks were devoted to the life and character of the deceased and con solation to the bereaved family and friends and the hope of a happy reunion in the hereafter, The floral offerings were numerous and beautiful.

On the 10th day of Ai igust, 1906, while we were returning from White Springs, we i let a man one and one half miles east of Guntown, about 7 p. m.. ’ who on passing our wagon, toe k from it a buggy whip belonging to us. We thought the man was Tom Bullard and we stated that it was him, but after hearing him make proof of his innocence be fore a meeting at Unity church held for this purpose, we are convinced, beyond any doubt, that he is innocent. We were honestly mistaken, and we regret very much that it occurred, and to seu him right before the public, wo desire this statement published in the Gun town Hot Times and the Tupelo Journal. H. B.
