those who have known him. In the
memory of hla earnest, noble life.
During the past week, in which he
had been confined at home and It
had been known that his condition
was possibly critical, many and many
have been the expressions of admira-
tion of his quick, alert movements
and his ever cheery disposition and
kindly word, and of the deep sense
of loss and loneliness which his
friends have felt, even from his few
dsys' absence from his accustomed
plsce in their midst.
Yesterday afternoon he seemed
better than for the past week, und
retired a little after 10 o'clock last
night, having spent the evening In
bright conversation With several
members of his family.
About 2 o'clock he awoke with a
severs pain over his heart. Mrs.
Ohent and other members of the fsm-
lly were called. In Just a few min-
utes all Buffering was at an and; his
spirit had gone home to ths Father
of life and light.

morrow afternoon . The services will

o'clock. Rev. J. C. Mlmms of this city

(Special to The Telegram)
ORANGE. Feb. 13.—"When pro-
gressive little Cupid discarded his bow
and arrow and took to the mysterious
telephone he fixed it so that love
might laugh at distance. The other
day Sambo Johnson, In Orange. anJ
Euphonia Jones ,tn Meridian. Miss.,
were simultaneously wounded by the
aame dart. Now they are one in wed-
lock. The Incident is indicative of
the wonderful uses to which the tel-
ephone facility may be put as it is
brought to the standard of country-
wide and universal service.
Although Sambo is not young, it
was only a short time ago that he dis-
covered that he could get local use
of a telephone In a town the slse of
Orange tor $1.50 a month. He made
his mark on a contract, paid several
months in advance to guarantee the
company against part of the coat of
connecting up the central office equip-
ment. and a day or so later the instal-
ler arrived at his cabin. The old col-
ored man watched with interest the
work of placing the telephone.
"Huh!" he suddenly exclaimed, "If
I was a washerwoman I shore could
git all de washin' in dls yere town."
He looked proudly at his new play-
thing as he commenced to realize Its
practical possibilities . After a few
moments more of contemplation he
again broke the silence, this time with
a question.
"Mintah," he asked, "kin a body
talk anywhar dey wants to on dat
telephone?"
The installer told the old darkey
that he could speak to practically
anyone in three states from Orange.
The work was quickly finished and
the colored man ' sat wrapped in
thought.
At the first tinkle of the bell, that
told of an open circuit. Sambo Jumped
to his feet and grabbed the receiver.
He had suddenly remembered a "ladv
fren' " he had left back In old Mis-
sissippi. The Installer helped him get
long distance, and the Meridian cen-
tral did her part with alacrity. Neith-
er the colored man nor the colored
woman had used the telephone before,
and the operators at either end of
the line were forced to repeat the con-
versation.
"Ask her,' 'instructed Sambo John-
son. "wtll she marry me?"
The momentous qusatlon reached
the ears of Euphonia Jon«S. The re-
sponse was prompt.
"No. sah," she exclaimed, "cause ye
aint sont me no 'gagement ring ylt."
Although several endearing expres-
sions had passed by relay from one
to another, now came what appeared
to be a flat refusal on the part of the
party of the first part.
"Jist say dat I won't apn' no ring—"
he started.
There was a pause while the mes-
sage was being repeated to fall on
startled ears.
"But," continued Sambo, "I speck
I'll start tonight to fetch it to her."
The conversation cost Sambo $3,
but he got his wife, and now the first
washerwoman's telephone is working
in Orange. Aunt Euphonia Jones-
Johnson is running a regular hand
laundry. Sambo splits the wood and
helps generally. His new "boss"
won't stand for "trlfleness.
The Installer, who told the story,
has his clothes washed for nothing
but a big fat tip every week.
Valuable deposits of fire-proof
brick and pottery clay in great quan-
tities have been found in Coleman
county.
