THE TWENTIETH CENTURY COUNTRY WEEKLY.
BARNESVILLE, GA., THURSDAY, MARCH 5, 1903.
MRS. W. A. WRIGHT
I PASSES AWAY.
I)KATH OCCTKRKD TUESDAY
NIGHT AT HElt HOME IX
THIS CITY.
The people of this place were
shocked Wednesday morn in g
when the sad intelligence of the
death of Mrs. W.A. Wright spread
abroad. The end came very
suddenly about 9:30 o’clock Tues
day night.
She had been in her usual
health appearently. up until about
20 minutes previous to her death,
when she began to complain of
not feeling well and in a short,
space of time she was stricken
with paralysis and had passed in
to the great beyond. Her husband
was the only one present at the
time of her death.
The funeral occurs today,
(Thursday) at 10:30 o’clock, at
the Baptist church, and Rev. J.
N. Snow will conduct the exercis
es, after which the remains will
be intered in the Methodist ceme
tery.
Mrs. Wright is survived by her
husband, Dr. W. A. Wright, and
two children Mrs. D. L. Ander
son, of this city, and Prof. W. C.
Wright, of Dublin.
The community had a gloom
cast over it when the news of her
death was learned, for Mrs. Wright
was well beloved by all who knew
her.
She was a consistent member of
the Methodist church and a most
lovable Christian woman. Her
absence will leave a vacancy in
the hearts of her loved ones that
cannot he filled. We extend the
deepest sympathy to the bereaved
family.

BAZAAR PROVES
GREAT SUCCESS.
GOOD WOKK DONE BY the
METHODISTS TO SECURE
A I’IPE ORGAN.
The much talked of and widely
advertised bazaar given by the
Methodist church to secure funds
necessary to buy a pipe organ for
the new church, opened with a
rush last Friday afternoon.
At 4 o’clock in the afternoon
the doors of the Blue’s Armory
wore thrown open to visitors and
buyers. A magnificent supper
was ready to be served to the
hungry public.
The hall was crowded with
articles to tempt the hard-earned
sheckels from the pockets of the
individuals who passed that way.
Anything from a buggy down to
the most infinitisemal article
could be found on sale.
Many things of value, beauty
and utility were displayed before
the gaze of the bargain seeking
public, and there were agreeable
ladies to take your money, when
you expressed a desire to pur
chase.
There were four booths, in
which were found on sale the dif
ferent commodities. We fear to
take up in detail of each booth,
because we might possibly say
more of one than another and
then there would be trouble. Suffice
it to say that they were all beauti
ful. These were presided over by
the different ladies, each in her
own charming manner.
Just a word about how they feed
up there. There was plenty to
eat and the cuisine was excellent,
and the service was in the hands
of pretty young ladies.
A large part of the merchandise
was disposed of the first night
and it was seen at once that the
affair was a great success. Large
crowds thronged the hall till the
close Friday night, purchasing
the things for sale. This was re
peated again Saturday afternoon
and night, with like success and
a large amount of cold cash was
poured into the treasury.
Monday night a variation of the
program took place. The hit of
the evening was the auction sale,
the goods being sold at outcry by
Mr. Chas. T. Tyler, in his own
inimitable way.. A raft of stuff
was disposed of in this manner at
unusually good prices.
Tuesday night the attention of
the people was consumed by an
old fashioned blue-back spelling
bee. This was participated in by
all sizes and ages and was pro
ductive of great amusement. Mrs.
Mary B. Smith and Mr. Frank M.
Stafforn proved the most adept in
the art, of orthography.
Wednesday night a resumption
of the spelling took place, the suc
tcessful contestants of Tuesday
night, Mr. Stafford and Mrs Smith,
being allowed to choose from the
crowd present. Everybody entered
into the spirit of the affair and
made it an exceedingly enjoyable
occasion.
The armory will not be open
Thursday night on account of
services at Baptist church. Fri
day night the work will be resumed
and concluded. It is expected
that this will be one of the most!
pleasant nights of the series of
bazaar entertainments.
About $850.00 has been realized
from the bazaar so far, and it is
expected that this sum will easily
reach SSOO by the close of the Fri
day night.
VVe will not attempt to say
anything for those who have been
in charge of the affair. The suc
cess of it speaks for them more
eloquently than W’e could.
Misses Mamie and Lillian Mitchell
were among those from this city who
went to Atlanta yesterday to attend
the Ben Hur matinee.
