Death of Mrs.
F. D. Wimberly, Sr.
The death-angel has again visited
our community and taken from us
one of our most beloved women.
Mrs. Carrie Taylor Wimberly died
on last Saturday at the home of her
son, Mr. Fred Wimberly. She had
been declining for a year or more,
yet no apprehension was felt until
about two weeks ago when her sym
ptons became alarming. She con
tinued to grow worse and although
nothing was neglected that medical
science would devise or loving
hands could do, all was of no avail
No human agency couid call back
the l>eautiful life that was slowly
and surely ebbing away. Hour by
hour the pa'acnt suffrer grew weak
er, exhibiting the same unselfish
endurance that has always charac
terized her life. Finally the end
came and surrounded by grief stri
cken husband and children the gen
tle spirit took its flight. Mrs Wim
l>erly was universally beloved faith
ful in every performance of Christ
ian duty, beautiful in mind, char
acter and disposition and with a
heart abounding in tenderness sym
pathy and love, hers was a sublime
life full of of sunshine and happi
ness for those about her.
But she is with the loving God
who made her the lovable women
that she was, and heaven is more
heavenly for her coming. Her
husband, children, brothers and
sisters will miss her but they know
where to find her. They are left
not so much to mourn her loss, but
to rejoice in her happy release from
pain and glorious triumph. The a
lx>ve is not intended as an obituary
It is only a tribute of love brought
by one who was the grateful recip
ient of many loving attentions from
her we truly mourn.
Both Of Our Pastors
Remain Here
We are glad to note that Rev. A.
Lester has been reappointed to serve
the Methodist Church here, next
year.
Both churches here are to be con
gratulated that their former pastors
will again serve them,
Revs. Lester and Walker are both
good preachers and splendid gentle
men, besides they are broad minded
churchmen and both have the re
spect and love of the community
and seem to be working harmoni
ously for the good of the people and
the glory of the Master.

Of Southern
New York, Dec., I—Fairfax1 —Fairfax Har
rison, president of the Chicago Ind
inapolis and Louisville railway com
pany was Unlay elected president of
the Southern Railway Company to
succeed the late W. W. Finley.
Fairfax Harrison is 43 years old,
When 34 years old he was appoint
ed assistant to the president of the
Southern. Three years later he be
came vice president of the road.
He filled this office nearly three
years, resigning in 1910 to assume
the presidency of the Chicago Ind

Company which is controlled joint
ly by the Southern and the Louis
ville and Nashville Railroad,
Mr. Harrison is a native of New-
York City. He is a son of Burton

of Francis Burton Harrison govern
or general of the Phlllippines. His
home is at Belvoir, Fauquier county
Virginia.
Mr. Harrison was graduated from
Yale in 1890 and admitted to the

assistant to the presidential 1903.

“Mr. Harrison was one of Mr.

policies which made Mr. Finley’s
administration so successful both
for the Southern Railway and the
territory served by its lines.

been confined to that branch of the
service. He has given much study
to financial traffic and operating
problems and is intimately ac

tivily in charge of the operation of
the railway so that he comes to the
Southern Railway prepared by prac
tical experience as well as the most
detailed knowledge of the details
of its affairs to take up the duties
of the chief executive.

NUMBER 1?
Many From Cochran
Attend Ben Hur
Quite a large crowd from Coch
ran witnessed Klaw & Eilangers
wonderful production of Gen. Lew
Wallace’s “Ben-Hur” at Macon,
last Friday night.
Art in staging seemed to have
reached its zenith on the American
stage. It is said there is nothing
o.i the English stage to compare
with the pictorial settings of Klaw
& Erlangers “Ben Hur”, and the
Eiebler Company’s production of
“The Garden of Allah”. Before
Ben-Hur came to America to fill
the present engagement it had just
terminated a several months engage
ment at die theatre Royal Drury
Lane, London, where it was under
taken with that pride in American
manufactures and American arts
and crafts, which has distinguished
the career of Klaw & Erlanger as
entrepreneurs.
Every stick of scenery, every inch
of canvas and every bit of costum
ing was of American manufacture
and fashioned by American artists
and artisans and we doubt if there
is a more magnificent scenic pro
duction on either the American or
European stane.'
Of course the climateric point of
interest was the chariot race, but as
is usually the case when one expec
tations are so great, they are disap
pointed, nevertheless it was a won
derful illusion and created a thrill
throughout the audience when Ben-
Hur seemingly plunged ahead of
Messala and won the race.
The play is supported by a com
pany of clever artists. Thos. Hold
ing as Ben-Hur, Walter M. Sher
win as Simonides, Virginia Howell
as Iras, deserve special mention.
They played their respective rolls
with dramatic skill.
