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. FINE SPEAKERS TO APPEAR HERE. v si-auKs or i.kctuiiks to hi: GIVKN AT HAITIST CHURCH -NO CHAKGKS FOR AD MISSION AT ALIj. Rev. C. W.

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. NEW CROP SEED IRISH POTATOES DIRECT FROM GROWER.
