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.

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. Mr. H. S. Wimberly BuildingNiceDwelling • Mr. 11. S. Wimberly is building a large two-story dwelling on Beech Street, in front of J. J.
