Every thing was arranged in nice style and there was a beautiful har mony pervading the whole array of the exquisite articles, which most pleasantly impressed all who called during the “open ing.’’ Some of the articles that especially attracted the eye of the writer were the handsome line of imported robes, silk vel vets, camlette goods, silk warp Henriettas, plaids in combina tions for the street, Bedford cord with silks to match, an endless variety of ribbons and many others too numerous to mention.

Mrs. Nettles was the only child of Hon. A. D. Sims, a distinguished member of Congress from this district before the war. She was a most estimable lady and there are many among her neighbors and acquaintances who have cause to remember her generous na ture.

Nettles, Esq., and to the husband and son the sympathy of the community is extended in this hour of distress. Her re mains were interred in the Baptist Church yard on Satur day afternoon, Rev. J. A. Rice conducting the services. The pall bearers were Messrs. G. W. Dargan, J. G. McCall, G. W. Brown, E. O. Woods, W. F. Dargan and W. D. Woods. Mrs. Theodosia Lide, wife of Mr. Ezra C.

She was distinguished for her devo tion to the cause of religion, be ing a member of the Baptist Church. She was very active in Sunday-school work, having charge for many years of the infant class in the Baptist Sun day-school and she was always at her post. Mr. Russell E.
