Miss Aanie Brown 111.
v It is indeed sad to chronicle the
illness of Miss Annie Brown, who has
' been the popular milliner at W. P.
Roof's during the season just closed.
Miss Brown had made arrangements
to go to her home in North Carolina
to snend her vacation and was to
leave here Friday, but now she is detained
by illness which will make it
impossible for her to leave for several
days yet. But few young women are
possessed of the many beautiful traits
of character as is this beloved young
woman, and it is the sincere wish of
all that her recovery will be complete
within a very short time.

despite the fact that it began to rain
early in the evening and continued
until late in the night. Fish were
