Judge
Death of Mr*. 4o»eph I’arrnlher*.
The hearts of the many friends of
this beloved young lady were saddened
yesterday by the unlooked for an
nouncement of her death. She was
the wife of Mr. Joseph Carruthors, a
book-binder for Mr. Thomas Gilbert.
They were married last February and
were more devoted to one another than
It seemed possible for human beings
to be.
She was the only daughter of Mr. and
and Mrs. James Meelor, of this city,
and was a graduate of our Public
Schools, where she was beloved by
both teaelicr and pupils for her gentle
manners and studious habits. Shine
hi Id hood she has been n member of
St. Luke church, and a more consistent
one would have been hard to find.
With a light step the beloved husband
went to bis business on yesterday
morning, after being assured that
she was better, when about twelve
o’clock lie was summoned homo to
find that death had begun bis terrible
work and the lips which bad bade lilm
good-bye only a few hours before were
fast (dosing never to part again. Only
one week ago tbclr house was bright
ened by a baby boy, who will never
know what a kind and loving mother
he lias lost, and will, wo trust, live to
gladden the heavt of a fond father.
Mrs. C. was barely twenty-one years
of age and had just begun to realize the
happiness of this world when sin* was
suddenly wafted to realms above.
To the sorrowing husband and par
ents we extond our sympathy and trust
they will be comforted with tlieihouglit
that she is happier in the home where
sorrow* is never known.
The funeral will take place from St.
Luke church this morning nt
o’clock.
Wli»< Wm Written.
About half-past twelve yesterday
morning, shortly after receiving
“special” from Talbotton, we wrote
brief article concerning the ministers
assigned to Columbus, in which these
paragraphs occurred :
“Rev. Dr. J. S. Key returns to St.
Paul’s Church.
Rev. Dr. Arminius Wright is assigned
to Broad Streot Church. Some of the
finest sermons wo have over hoard,
have fallen from his lips, lie has been
living in our city some months.”
On taking up the paper, we found a
sleepy printer had altered paragraphs
and a still sleepier copy-holder had al
lowed them to be put in as he changed
them In this way :
“Rev. fir. J. S. Key returns to St.
Paul’s Church. 'Some of the finest ser
mons wo have over heard have faUen
from his lips, lie has been living in
our city some months.”
Such an occurrence is not likely to
happon again.

the wrist and pulled him out just in
time to prevent his being mashed as
fiat as a pan-cake, for the cotton was
brushing his back as be bade farewell
to the water. He says he will never
take any more water; if so he desires It
as a “sprinkle” or mixed with some
thing else.

The Festival.
At the military festival. Instead of
drawing of swords and charging of
bayonets, there will he drawing of
prizes and charging 50 cents for tickets.
All this will be found in the grand gift
enterprise which has a committee
especially devoted to Its management.
The prizes will be varied and valuable
—gold watches, fine sets of jetyelry,
sliver ware, beautiful vaaes, toilet arti
cles, dolls, <tc., Ac. Tickets, entitling
the holder to a chance at the many
valuable prizes, will he only fifty oents.
We have no doubt but the enterprise
will be a success, as the prizes are fully
worth the risk of the small sum.
Many friends of the companies, we
understand, are donating articles to be
included as prizes, and wo hope others
will do so. Any article left at
this office will be taken charge
of and delivered to the
committee. Our merchants could do
a deal of good by contributing some
thing from their stock to aid in increas
ing the prizes, and we hope they will do
so. We ask them to remember our
volunteer military and send in 'their
contributions. We are ready to take
charge of anything—a cooking stove,
piano, silk dress, or a bottle of
“murnrn.” Yes, anything, gentlemen.
Another feature of the festival that
will he charming and novel, is the
promenade concert. Good music by
the best amateur talent in our city will
enliven the occasion.
Those who are devotees to the sub
stantial will find plenty of good eating,
In the way of oysters, turkey, ham,
cakes, etc. Let everybody be sure to
attend next Monday night and see for
themselves. "
