Sitlersou, which occurred Friday night, February 10th, 1912, at 1 o'clock at her resi dence 011 Simmons Avenue. Mrs. Sittemon with her husband had been home from an entertainment at the Masonic Hall only ahout three hours when she called to hi 111 that she was suffering and he arose and assisted her to a chair in the room adjoluing their sleeping apart ment. A home remedy was ad ministered, and then she felt that death was nigh auMwith the last word, fell from tit chair. Mr, Sitterson, who was \dono, placed her in a more comfortable position on the floor aud went hastily to a neighbor's to phone for a physician But her spirit hud fled, even be foie the message called for help. To friends with whom she talked last, she complained of a severe pain in her chest, but thinking it due to cold, thought nothing of it. However, the trouble proved to be acute indigestion and having 0 weak heart, she passed away quickly. Mis. Siltcrsou was born iu Wil liamston sixty-seven years ago. be ing the only daughter of Simon and Caroline Smitbwith, who were prominent residents of the town during their lifetime. She was also the half-sister of the late Hon. Joseph J. Martin and the aunt of Col. Wheeler Martin and Mrs. J. K. Carstarphen. At the age ol twenty ycfcrs, *he was married to Mr. Joseph H. Sit ter on, who foame from KlizHbeth Ciiy to make .his home here. In thice yearn they would have cell*- biated their golden wedding, hav ing lived forty-seven blissful years together. The death of her two oldest daughters, Mrs. Harry \V. Stub'is, and Miss Murt Sittersou, several years ago, had brought great sorrow into her life, but there was no hardening but rather an opening of the heart to others who needed comfort and assistance. She had been for \« ars a devoted daughter of the Church, and no member of the parish was more coustnnt npen its services. If well, it war, indeed a rare occurrence for her to be absent from divire wor ship. Loving life and possessing en optimism which makes for real life, she was a source of pleasure to each of her many friends to whom she never failed to show her regard for them. Her industry and love of home and these things which beautify and give pleasure to the eye, made it indeed a home to those who dwelt therein. To the hus band she was in the truest and highest sense a wife, and h*r thought was always for his health and comfort. He with three chil dren and a grandson are left to miss her through the yeare:, Simon C., Wilmer M., Mr.*. Rena Jones and Harry Murt Stubbs. Sunday afternoon while the snow made all the world look, beautiful in white, her liody was deposited in its resting place, aftei the last sad rites of the Church had been said by her rector, Rev. Morrison Bethea. There were exquisite flowers sent by friends as a loving tribute to one whose hands were ever busy caring for the tender buds and plants which adorned her home. It was indeed meet that the casket should be ccvLrtd with the choicest flowers. Blamed a Geo* Worker '•I blamed my heart for severe distress in my ieft side for itwo yearf," writes W.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1912 Class Entertained The evening of the Fourteenth, iSt. Valentine's Day, was chosen as a most appropriate time for the an imal feast of the members of Ad vent Class, of the Episcopal Sun day School. This appropriateness is due from the fact that St. Val entine was a saint of the early ChttTch, who, when the Romnn Emperor Claudius, the Cruel, de creed tlir.t marriages should cense and engagements be broken, sym pathised with tho sad- hearted lovers and secretly married many cou ples and since then he has become the patron saint of lovers. The custom of entertaining on; the day is very popular in this time, and to it was that the Class with several friends arranged to have a jolly good time together atj the home of Miss Hnttie Thrower, j who has been teacher of the Class for. a number of years. Very attractive contest-menu folders printed in purple, with pur ple cords and pencils (.Purple l*ein;» the Class color,) were given each guest ou arrival. The contests — "ACTalc of Letters" aud "Illus trated Songs" proved very inter esting. In the midst of the merri ment, little Miss Mary King Edi son, dressed as postgirl in boots, toboggan and sweater with postbag, came in and distributed valentines [to every one present. These were reed aloud and brought forth peals of laughter—little hearts with cupid i being given as souviners. The feast came off at 10:30 ■ o'clock and was served at tables set for four in the hall and guei;t room. The menu had been caie ful)}' selected by the Class and con sisted of oyster cocktail, iried oys ters, lobster and chicken salads, I deviled egfls, celery, popper U4>d jcheese sandwiches, olives, pickles, cracUers, silliabu'u, wafers and cof fee. Till 12:30 the fun lasted and then the guests departed. The in vited guests were: Mrr,. W. R. Fowdcn, Mis«es Irene and Miry Smith, Hannah Vic Fowden, Nan nie Biggs, Carrie Alexander, Annie K. Thrower, Clare Jones, Chde Hassell, liseie Peel,Mrs.C.B.Clark; Mess.F.M.Shute. A.D.Mizell, Mau rice Moore, W. H. Gurkiu, John Henry Thrower and F. F. Fagan.

Iti the town it measured nine inches on a level but in the country it *AHS ttu [inches. As the wind was blowing there were heavy drifts in many places through which pedestrians floundered. Sunday Schools and Church services practically were abandoned and merchants were called 011 liberally lor rhblier boots. The mercury was low but MI Mon day morning it is claimed that it reached the lowest for the season. The Graded School did not open until Tuesday and the young folks enjoyed the snow under a cloudless sky and pleasant sun. All day Sunday birds were so cold and tame that they c at in porches and some people taking advantage of their helplessness killed them with sticks.
