The heaviest sale of the occasion
took place at the warehouses yesterday,
when the three houses sole

paid made a fair average. It seems
that the poor grades are not in demand
and vo'-y little is paid for this

cured tobacco is selling high.

school in Alabama, and in 186<
was married to Col. S. W. Maurice

Voted member of the Methodist
Church. It was she who, in the earh
seventies, raised the funds for th<
bell which .. ails the worshipper
together and remains a memorial ot
her devotion to her church. Her lift
was full of good deeds and charitj
and her patience through months ol
suffering at the last^was an example
of Christian fortitude to those whc
ministered at her bedside.
The funeral sendee was held al
her residence Saturday morning, th<
service being conducted by Rev. R
W. Spiegner, assisted by Rev. E. A
McDowell and Rev. Mr. Davis. A

she spent a long and useful life, am
where her life stood for all that is
best and true in Christian woman
hood.
