Happenings and Incidents Of a Week
Around the City.


Around the City.
Last Friday morning, after nearly six
months pain and suffering, Miss Cuddie Col
houn fell asleep only to awake in that bright
or and better land, where there are no good
byes no sick ness, no death. Miss Cuddie was
loved by all who knew her, and not to love
!, her would have been impossible, for never
was there sweeter, gentler or more noble
Christian woman. In all the weary mouths
OF her illness, she was patient and hopeful,
and when the end came sank sweetly 10 rest
surrounded by those who had so lovingly and
tenderly nursed her. 1t Is with a heart filled
with sadness that we attempt TO write this,
and we only express the feeling OF the entire
community, when we offer to the bereaved
family our earnest, heartfelt sympathy In this
their hour Of desolation. God has added one
: more bright jewel to his crown.
