den. She was before her marriage
Miss Carrie Osteon, a Histor of Mrs.
W. (J. Wilson i*nd Mrs. Rivera Alex
ander. In early girlhood she married
and went to California to lryj, but
stfl has many friends in her home
town who will regret to hear of her
sorrow.
"B. K. Whittington, for many years j
a resident of Seal Beach and a for
mer city marshal, passed away
Thursday morning, March 22, at thtf
Orange County hospital alter an ill
ness of several months. Funeral
services were held Saturday after
noon at Marcel's undertaking chapel
in Long Beach, Rev. Taylor, pastor of

ficiating.
"Mr. Whittington was one of the
best known Citizens of this city. His
health commenced failing while he
was holding the office of city marshal,
which position he, resigned that he
might try a change of climate. A few
months ago he and his family went
to Banning hoping that the desert
ail' might benefit him. They recently
came back to Seal Beach and shortly
afterward his condition became such
that he was talcen to the hospital
where he passed away last Thursday.
The sympathy of this entire commun
ity goes out to Mi's. Whittington and
the bereaved children."
Kingstree special to the News and !
Courier: There are a number of
women in Kingstree who are sadder,
but wiser, from having been "stung"
by a fraudulent attempt to sell them
silk hosiery from the mills at prices
that would have tempted the money
out of almost any woman's pocket. An
individual, who called himself Jackson
came along about the last of Janu
ary.* He exhibited samples of^silk
stockings in two different prices,
either six pairs for $5, or six pairs
for $10, and he showed one or fwo 1
sample nail's, but apologized for hot
having his full case.
