APRTL 17. 1019 Death of Mrs. Oscar Smith in Atlanta. Mrs. Oscar C. Smith of Donal sonville, formerly Miss Eula Mc- Kay of this city, died at a private sanitarium in Atlanta Tuesday night at eleven o’clock. She had been in a serious condition since about the middle of December, when she sustained interna! in juries from an auto accident that happened between Donalsonville and Colquitt, she and her hus band, both being thrown out of the car and being caught under the car. The death of this good and noble lady has cast a gloom over this entire city, as she was a favorite among her many friends here, who knew her best, who knew her finer qualities and valued her friendship at its true worth. Her death is doubly sad, as the death of her brother, Mr. J. A. McKay, occured only six weeks ago. Mrs. Smith was a devoted member of the Methodist church in Donalsonville, having moved her membership there about two years ago. Her life was one well spent, and the sweet memory of her many deeds of love will live long in the minds of her loved ones. She was married on August 16th, 1917, to Mr. Oscar Smith of Donalsonville, and has lived there since that time. Before her marriage she spent several years teaching in Waycross, where she made many warm friends. She is survived by her husband, Mr. Oscar C. Smith, her mother, Mrs. Flora McKay, and three sisters, Mrs. John King and Miss Kate and Aleph McKay. The funeral will be held at the house this af ternoon at 4:30 o’clock, being in charge of her pastor, Rev. Geo. Pharr, of Donalsonville, assisted by Rev. E. E. Rose of this place. Interment will be in Mcßae cem etery. The deepest sympathy of hun dreds of friends is extended the grief stricken family.—Telfair Enterprise. inrong WAtonu Engineers Parade Atlanta. —.Marching through human lanes of emhußlaaUc fathers, mothers, wtvea, sweethearts, relatives and frleuds, and passing buildings be decked In the national colors —the Seventeenth Engineers—Atlanta's own sons—received their official welcome hack home In one of the largest street celebrations the city has ever wit nessed. It took exaotly forty-five min ute* for Atlanta to show her boys j.ust how much she appreciated their ef forts in making the world safe for democracy. What happened in those forty-five minutes of patriotic demon stration will go down in the records of the city.

Will Not Condemn State Property. Atlanta.—The bill to condemn the Western and Atlantic terminal in Chattanooga, property of the state of Georgia, which was pending before the Tennessee legislature, has been withdrawn, according to a message received by C. Murphey Candler, chairman of the W. & A. commission. It U understood that the Chattanooga chamber of commerce withdrew the bill to condemn this property as the result of assurances by Whiteford R. Cole, president of the Nashville, Chat tanooga and St Louis railroad, that ,lhe Chattanooga terminals will be ex tensively Improved as soon as the federal government turns the rail roads back to the owners. If the bill in question had pased the legislature and the city of Chattanooga had taken that portion of the terminals that It wants, the terminals would have been praclctdly destroyed. The purpose of the condemnation proceedings contem plated by the bill was to open the way for the extension of Broad street in Chattanooga.
