Mcrris, West End, 'Inion, Sunday morning; about 3.07 o'clock and was buried Monday after-1 oon, November 28. The burial services were held in Green Street Methdist church at 3 o'clock and the inerment was in Rosemont cemetery, lev. J. B. Chick conducted the bUYia! services. Mrs. Morris was 82 years and 20 lays old. She was born in what is :ow Cherokee county, but then a part f Spartanburg county. She was, bc'ore her marriage a Miss Martha Pierson. Mrs. Morris is survived by seven hildren: John II. Morris of Winton-Salem, N. C.; J. W. A. Morris, ieldale, Va.; A. R. Morris, of Union; >. L. Morris, of Monarch; E. W. Moris, of Concord, N. C.; Mrs. Amanda 'age, of Laurens, S. C., and Mrs. Maggie Milwood of Pacolet. Mrs. Morris was married in 1865, he year of the surrender. Her long ind useful life has been a benediction 0 all who came under its influence. Ihe was a devoted Christian, a loving, vife and mother, and a woman of high deals. Her children have inherited a rich treasure in the good name left, them. Many friends gathered to pay a last tribute to the memory of this good woman, and will hold in lasting re-1 "nembrance her noble life and beautiful character. Government Acquired Goods Offered for Salej Moscow, Nov. 26.?Goods acquired >y the government when it took over ill property have been dissipated to 1 very great extent and probably constitute a considerable part of the nuerial offered on the local street marj kets. 1IIL' DUIMICV VUUllOVdi^U Wlic docks of merchants and the contents ->f offices and residences and stored them in government houses which have been named "loot houses" by the ion-Communist public. These stocks were drawn on very heavily by the army and for other government purposes. But they also proved a gold mine for dishonest ofleials, and the dearth of all sorts of small articles in these houses indicates that pilfering has been pretty general. Concert pianos, gigantic divans, immense bedroom suites and wardrobes abound, but flat silver, table linen, miall rugs and other household articles which guards could carry are kecking. When the American Relief Administration opened up the houses where its personnel lives the government was to supply all furnishings under the food agreement. It was with greatest difficulty that nough dishes were found in the "loot bouses" for the use of the Americans and, although asurances were given that the government stores would yield plenty of table silver, the relief workers were obliged to use tinned iron spoons. Repeated searches were made in warehouses where silver was isted, but it was always missing. Many old-time Russians who are mployed by the American Relief Administration have recognized pieces of their own furniture in the lot sup plied to the American Relief Admin;stration houses by the government. Many of the better pictures from private houses have been put into gal'eries in Moscow and ePtrograd. Old furniture and tapestries have also been saved for museums in many cases, but the great mass of confiscated furniture and carpets has gone into government offices or residences of government officials.
