Death' of Mrsi Sophia C JnTyers.
Mrs. Sophia C Myerav -wife of - CoL
Wm. It. Myers, died at her home In this
city . yesterday morniuff at 1 o'clock,
after Jong weary months, of w'astlng
sickness. Perhaps ' there was not an
other lady in this whole city who had
more friends and admirers than did
the one wbq has; jast passed from
amongst as, and none J truly, deserved
them more. ;!lnl her4 disposition! was
combined' all t that was beautif al and
food, and her life was one long chapter
of kindly deeds, and - loving and aTec
tionate acts. In her latter days the
beaaty of her Christian character shone
most brilliant, everf whin her'; suffer
ings were greatest, And iwith-" a aweet
resignation to His diylne will, she bore
throogh all her sufferings without ever
a mormar, passing, at last calmly into
that repose which is only to 'be broken
on the resurrection morn, :At the honr
of dissolution, she was surrounded by
ber husband and family, and ; many
relatives and friends. To her bereaved

those of Walter Hunter, Infant child of
J. & and iiary.-R. Myera, will be, in

Let as Have the Best CBjpaay, .
Now that 'a military company has
been organized In Charlotte, composed
of the best material of the old compa
nies, w nope that the dtizeas of the
place ana especially those in whose em
ploy ment many of the members of the
company are, will gi re them eyerj en
couragement to maka theix organiza
tion a source of . pride to thecommn-
nity. - -v-; r
Everybody knows that, nnleas tba
officers and men -drill 'diligently and
parade at frequent interrala, they can
not hope to become' proficient, and to
make tbat appearance in public which
they ought to makeV and which yery
public Epirited citizan would desire to
have them make. J If employers refuse
permission to tbeir employes to turn
out fox drill or parade; or arrant It In so
an" unpleasant a way as - to amoant toa
refusal, the company cannot t be kept
lip; the men will become disgusted and
diaheaxtaned. and there will soon b an
and of the organization. . W do net
earn to ..discuss : the - importance of
having at least one good military com
pany in Charlotte the matter does not
admit of discussion but we do express
the hope and the confident expectation
that no obstacles will be thrown in the
ay of that necetf lary practice by tbe
company" which "in. military matters

bling at the little loesot time required
for drills and parades, heartily encour
age the ; members of the 'company to
make it the ' pride of the city and tha
best military organization in the State.
