FRYER Sanitary Market and Grocery (Satin Cotttilg News- Success to All Who Pay Their Honest Debts —“Be Sure You Are Right, Then Go Ahead/' BLAKELY, GEORGIA, THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 29, 1919 MRS. EVELYN WHITTINGTON. Yeung Wife and Mother Passes Away Sunday Night. One of the saddest deaths it has ever been our duty to record oc curred in Blakely Sunday night when the spirit of Mrs. Evelyn James Whit tington took its flight back to the God who gave it. The young wife gave birth to a baby son Sunday, but shortly after wards lapsed into unconsciousness, from which she never rallied and passed away at 11 o’clock Sunday night, the physicians giving as the cause of her death “puerpal eclamp sia.” Mrs. Whittington was the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D. W. James, of this city, and while on a visit to Douglas last year was mar ried to Mr. Edward Whittington, son of Rev. B. E. Whittington, formerly pastor of the Blakely Methodist church, and had since been making her home in that city. She came to Blakely about a month ago to visit her mother. She was born July 25, 1901, hence lacked just two months of being IS years old. The young husband was notified of her critical state, but couldn’t reach here until Sunday afternoon after she became unconscious. His parents, Rev. and Mrs. B. E. Whittington, came to Blakely Monday and attend ed the funeral, which was held at 6:30 o'clock Monday afternoon, the services being conducted by Rev. N. T. Pafford, of the Methodist church, of which the young wife and mother was a member. A large concourse of 'sorrowing friends gathered to pay the last tribute of respect to her memory and the* floral offerings were many and beautiful. Mr. Whittington and his parents returned to Douglas yesterday, tak ing with them the little baby boy, which is a finely developed child, and it is hoped he may be spared to in some measure take the place of the sweet young mother who gave her own life to bring him into the world. May the untimely death of this dear child-mother be the means of drawing others of her loved ones to that heavenly land which she sought early in life and found the way. Our deepest sympathy goes out to all her loved ones in this great sor row. ANOTHER NEW BUILDING GOING UP IN BLAKELY. Mr. L. F. Warrick broke dirt Mon * day on the foundation for a handsome new garage building on the lot which he recently purchased from the T. M. Howard estate just west of the postoflice on the south side of the public square. The building has a 33 foot front and runs back 85 feet. It is to be a substantial structure and will add to the looks of that part of town. The News congratulates Mr. War rick upon his enterprise and hopes somebody else will catch the building spirit.

White, of Pelham, former ly of Blakely, were brought to Blake ly Friday on the train and interred in the Blakely cemetery at 6:30 p. m. Rev. J. A. J. Dumas, pastor of the Blakely Baptist church, conducted the funeral services at the grave, the services being largely attended by relatives and friends of the family in Blakely and vicinty. Mr. and Mrs. M. R. White of Pel ham, Mr. and Mrs. Grady Simmons of Thomasville and Mr. Charles M. White, just back from overseas duty with the U. S. army, accompanied the remains to Blakely. Arthur was reared in Blakely and his death at so youthful an age has caused universal sorrow among those who knew him as a little lad, and a double portion of sympathy goes out to the sorrowing loved ones when we recall that but a few years ago they were called upon to give up another young son and brother, Jack, just about grown, under similar cir cumstances.
