Miss Xantippe Saunders, 85, for many years one of the leading artist of this city, died at 10:45 o'clock last Tuesday-morning at her home, 3128 Western Parkaway. Miss Saunders first began her serious work as an artist under Professor Pering, of Louisville, continuing her studies in New York under Professor JEaton and Professor Later she was associated with Carnelia Pering; of this city, for over twenty-five years, the art school being known as Pering Saunders. She was a cousins of the late Mark Twain and possessed the same gifts of wit and humor with which he was endowed. While she outlived most of her contemporaries, her cheerful, bright and optimistic disposition won' for her a host of friends among the younger generation. She was known particularly as a portrait painter.

After the funeral services the interment was in Cave Hill Cemetery. Louisville Herald Miss Sanders was a native of Adair county, her mother being a Miss Hancock, and there are yet many bf her relatives living in the surroundings of Columbia. She was a very popular young woman, and especially -was sbe a favorite of the young people of this community. She was a leader in all social functions, and her company wasJ eag erly sought. Her father, Mr.

William Sanders, was a native of England, was a skilled penman, and was a school teacher by profession. He and another teacher, also an EngliBhman, Daniel Booty, came tO'Columbia at the same -time, and entered upon their profession. It was in the Mt. Pleasant community he met and married a Miss Hancock, the mother of Miss Tip. The mother died when the subject of this notice, was a small gi.l, and in a few years, Mr.

Sanders married another Miss Hancock, sister of his deceased wife, who is also dead. Near the Mt. Pleasant church Mr. Sanders erected an Academy and re ceived boarding pupils for a number of years. Tradition tells us that the late Judge Jas.

Garnett, Gen. P. W. Hardin, deceased, and Hon. W.

F. Neat and many other men who became prominent, attended this school. When Mr. Sanders was about; fifty years old, he accepted a position as bookkeeper for a Louisville House and removed, with his daughter, to that city. He did not remain in this position but a short time, resigning it to accept a position in Norton's Bank, which he held until his death, which occurred about twenty-five years ago.

As an artist, Miss Sanders had but few equals. After receiving advantages in New York, she spent a year or two abroad. A specimen of her work can be seen on the tomb pt Mrs. Prudie Lyon, the first wife of Mr. Lyon, in Columbia cemetery.

It is the deceased picture and it is burned in the stone, the weather having no effect upon it. The passing of this distinguished character removes from Kentucky one of her most distinguised women, one whose memory will linger for ages. Judge Junius Hancock of this place, was a cousin the deceased. For Sale. Piano, sideboard, bed and box mattress.

T. McFarland Mar- ries in Texas. HOMrv CL0YIS, NEW MEXICO. On Saturday morning, Dec. 2, a quiet but pretty "wedding was solemnized at Brownfield, Texas, when Miss Jennye McFarland, of this city, became the bride of Mr.

M. L. Norris, of New Mexico. The ceremony was pronounced in a very impressive manner by the Methodist minister, of Brownfield, in the home of Mrs. Fred Smith, cousin of the bride, after which the contracting parties left at once upon a motor trip, arriving last week in Clovis, New.

Mexico, where they will reside. No young lady ever reared in Columbia has more friends wishing her happiness than has Mrs. Norris. Her sunny, unselfish disposition, her winsome manner and attractive personality have made her a universal favorite with both old and yonng and Mr. Norris is indeed to bo congratulated upon winning this charming young lady.

Although she has for several years been in business in Indianaoolis. where she also left a host of riands, yet Columbia has ever claimed her for her own and she will be greatly missed. Mr. Norris is a prosperous business man, representing a well-known Albuquerque firm. Better still his friends know him jto be a gentleman of sterling character and their many friends bespeak for this worthy deserving ceuple the 'highest type of happiness.
