Call at Central Ittet jodUt Parsonage -
At the oarsonage of Central Methodist
church yesterday afternoon, Mrs. Mat
tit Adams died suddenly. The end

a few hour's illness. The deceased was
the wife of Rev. G. T. Adams, the popu
lar and beloved pastbr of Central church
She was thoroughly identified with the
various branches of 'church endeavor,
and was held in high esteem for her
works' sake as well as for those amiable
qualities, of head, and heart that - ir
resistibly drew to her all who came
within her snhere of influence. Though
the pastorate of her husband in Raleigh

made a most favorable impression upon
the members of Central church, who
will sadly miss her from the public ser
vices and social meetings.
The time and place of tho funeral will
