Exercises preparatory to a.joyous two
weeks' holiday for tho children, were
held in the city schools last Friday.
They were in keeping with the season,
consisting of songs, dialogues, recita
tions and little plays in which Santa
Claus and the Uh ri st mas tree bore a part
and by which one of tho finest lessons
of Mfo were taught.-lhatthere is moro
real joy and true happiness in giving
than in receiving. Quite a number of
visitors witnessed tho exercises, but
there should lin ve been moro. The
children did well, each enteriug with
zeBt into his part and each face bright
and joyous and full of expectant hope
of tho good times to bo had during tue
holidays; but they would have done
better and been bappici had the pa
rents been there to encourage and
smile upon them. This was not like
other occasions. It waa a Christmas
occasion, when all that was said and
dono lind iu ic the idea of Christmas
and Christmas giving. A lesson was
being taught that was intended to
shape the thoughts of every boy and
girl into beautiful action. A lesson
thnt broadens and beautifies and feeds
the soul, making the boy a better man
and tho girl a nobler woman. It was a
lesson in love, faith, memory, soi vice,
hope and joy, each of these graces be
ing personified and represented by
beautiful little girls, each delivering a
beautiful little speech. Those who
have children at this Christmas time
should not only encourugeBueh lessons
taught in the Behool room, but continue
the teaching in their homes, being hap
py the while in the fact that no mate
rial gift, whether of gold or precious
stones, can equal the unfolding love of
children.
Death of Mrs. T. J. Webb.
Death has been abroad in our midst
again, and this timo robbed n happy
home of a devoted wife and tender, lov
ing mother. At 0 o'clock this morning
Mrs. Elizabeth Webb yielded to the
relentless enemy and quietly passed
into the world beyond. The tender
ties that bound her to a loving hus
band, four children and a multitude of
devoted friends has been ruthlessly
snapped. >>ut it is tho way of the world
and God knoweth how to apply the
healing balm.
Tho deceased was Miss Eliznbeth
Williamson, daughter of Beubon Wil
liamson, nnd granddaughter of Capt.
Billie Nevitt. She was a native of An
derson County and graduate from the
old Johnson Female University of this
city. In June of 1057 she was married
to T. J. Webb, who for BO many years
served this county as Auditor. Six
children were boru to this happy cou
ple, four of whom survive, Mrs. Julia
vonHasseln, Mrs. Mamie Geiger. Rob
ert C. and Wm. M. Webb. May 4th,
1880, was the birthday of the deceased,
making her 08 years old. From her
girlhood she was a devout member of
the Baptist Church, and her useful
bapyy life was characterized by the
beautiful attributes of Him whom she
professed to know and love when a
child, tho blessed Saviour.
This noble woman sn ile red much
from ill health for several years past.
About four years ago she found it ne
cessary to enter tho Johns Hopkins
hospital in Baltimore. She returned
after a brief stay feeling assured that
she was fully recovered, but last spring
her health failed again and in October
oho made a second visit to Baltimore.
This time she was told nothing could
bo done that would be of permanent
benefit, and she returned home to pa
tiently wait tho will of the Muster.
With meekness, patience and perfect
trust she boro her sufferings, and when
death came it was like tho flickering of
a spent candle. In death she wears a
peaceful smile, whilo the marble fea
tures retain much of that remarkable
beauty that characterized her in the
youthful years of life.
The funeral services have not been
fully decided upon by the fntnily, but
they will most likely bo held Friday,
notice of which will be given.
