MRS. W. F. LONO.
Mrs. W. F. Long Died, Friday
Night After Short-Illness.
Mrs. Mollie Long, wife of Mfe
AV; F. Long, died at her home on
Lamar Street last Friday night at
11 o'clock. Last spring, in''Ma,vy
Mrs. Long had a very severe, at
tack but entirely recovered as 4ier
friends supposed and hoped. ; But
just before Christinas 'she was
again taken sick and was ill for
several weeks, but rallied and was
able to be on the streets about ten
days before her death. After be
ing out visiting one evening she re
turned home and was seriously ill
that night. From this attack she'
never rallied, but suffered great
pain until the end came as an
nounced above.
Mrs. Long was an amiable,
loveable woman, a member of the
Methodist Church, and not simply
a member but an active member,
her heart being always interested
in anything which would further
the cause of her Master and her
hands always ready to do their
part. She Was. oved as few wq
men by all who knew her,' and
many were the tears which were
shed when it was announced ; that
she had departed: She leaves I a
husband, one son,-about six years
old, mother and several brothel's
and sisters. v
The f unerrl services were con
ducted from the residence on Sun
day morning, Rev., N; C.Yearby,
assistelRev
conducting the services, and . was
buried in the cemetery i As a to
ken of the esteem in iwhich she
was held, the offering of flowers
were the largest and most hand
some we have ever seen, it requir
ing an entire wagon to transport
them to the grave.

chinery At a meeting of the Board of i

building. It is the purpose of

There. was no parental objec

was the way the couple took to
surprise their friends -The bride
was handsomely attired hv a suit
of brown, with hat, shoes and
gloves to match. She is the love

A. N. Blalock, one of Bahama's
most progressive and popular bu

The groom is located at Rouge

county's most promising young
physicians. He has many friends
throughout the State, who will be
glad to know of his fortune.
Big Brakes Monday ! and Tues

slowly since the holidays, but on
Monday there was a good sale at
all 'the warehouses, while on yes
terday sales were heavy. We are
glad to note that prices , are very
satisfactory, and while not so good
as earlier in the season, still the
farmers were highly pleased, for
prices are- far arid away above
prices this time a year ago. ,
