ami ere eoneyed to the residence of
lier sister, Mrs .lames liobn. A
numerous company of friemls -ks at
the station to meet the remains of this
huly who ial emleaiej herself to the
whole community in her lovely, young
womanhood nnd later in her riper
years. Mrs. Winder was n lady of rare
social priices and aeconipliHlimcnts and
a uimcrsal favorite in all social gather
iugs. She delighted in entertaining
ami giving pleasure to her largo circle
of friends, and waa truly the soul of
hospitality so long aa her health Per
nutted. Her cleverness and delightful
fund of humor made her a mtmt ottrac
tive and gracious hoste&s, and many
will recall these charming and amiable
traits of her generous nature.
The funeral services were held at
Christ Church, of which congregation
she had been a devoted member since
childhood, and, despite threatening
weather and frequent showers, the
church was filled with those who knew
and loved her. The burial office of the
Episcopal ritual was impressively per
formed by the rector. Rev. Milton A.
Barber; Bishop Cheshire reading the
lesson.
Mrs. Winder found much joy in the
"praises of the sanctuary," and for a
long period was a valuable member of
Christ Church choir.
It was fitting that the music should
have been especially well rendered and
that the choir should have been com
posed of nearly its full quota of
members.
The hymns sung were, "Art Thou
Weary"; "In the Honr of Trial"; and
"Peace, Perfect Peace." At the con
clusion of the sweet and solemn church
service the remains were conveyed to
Oakwood cemetery and laid it rest by
the gTavrs of loved ones "gone before."
Rev. Mr. Barber read the committal
and recited the final prayers; and
Bishop Cheshire pronounced! the dol
ing benediction.
Eiquisite floral tributes were carried
to the cemetery. They were sufficient
to cover the grave over and over again,
and also the resting places of those
surrounding her.
Among the hymn selections at the
grave were, "Asleep in Jesus," and
Tarry With Me, O My Saviour."
The pallbearers were Charles Boot,
Charles McKimmbn, Ed Chambers
Smith, Charles I Hinton, B. Grimes
Cowper, Allen 0. Rogers, Robert 0.

New Bern, May 4. Home weeks ago
citizens living along South Front street
adjacent to the New Bern Iron Works'
plant, complained to the board of al
dermen that the noise from the big
pneumatic hammer used at the plant
waa "running them crazy."
Ia order to prevent any person ia
that section from losng their reason on
this account, Mr. W. A. Mcintosh, man
ager oPrkecneern, had erected between
the plant and the adjoining property a
"sound proof" fence sUteen feet la
height.
ThU fence proved to be just the thing
needed and, according to a statement
contained in a eommunieatioa which
Mr. Mcintosh last night sent to the
board of aldermen, tka citizens of that
section now have to listen attentively in
order to hear the slightest sound from
the big steam hammer.
