Ms. Peters Dead.

The following notice, in regard to
the death of the wife of a former
citizen of Bolivar,is copied from the
Commercial Appeal of Saturday:
Mrs. Geo. B. Peters, wife of Gen.
George B. Peters, died at 6 o'clock
yesterday evening at her home on
Lauderdale street.
Mrs. Peters had been i'll for many
weeks. She got better and was able
to sit up in bed until last Monday,
when a new complication appeared.
She first had appendicitis, which was
followed by peritonitis. These had
been conquered, when heart trouble
began and ended beautiful life that
was full of usefulness.
Mrs. Peters was Miss Katie Belle
Greenlaw, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Oliver Greenlaw. She leaves hus-
band ana six children, four daughters
and two sons. One daughter is Mrs.
Eldridge Wright and another is Mrs.
Collier Estes. The youngest child
is a son of z years.
Mrs. Peters had one brother, Will
liam Greenlaw, of Dallas, Tex, and
two sisters, Mrs. James Guion and
Mrs. Eli Raynor.
She was an earnest Christian
woman, a member of Grace Church
and president of Grace Church Guild.
Every member of the Guild was de-
voted to her, and all of them grieye
for her as a sister. Her life was de-
voted to her home, her husband and
her children and to her church. She
was a young woman, scarcely more
than two score years, but into that
life had crowded much good work.

PIANO BUYERS.

People who bought cheap consigned
Pianos, with promises of free tuning
and "free lessons" and other induce
ments, should commence investigating
the probabilities of these promises be-
ing kept. 1t may be of some interest
to them, also, to find out WHERE the
NOTES, which they gave for payment
can be found. Those who gave notes
and surrendered instruments had bet
ter get back their notes, if they wish
to prevent trouble.
We have been steadily advising
against buying consigned Pianos;
against purchasing from irresponsible
and unknown Agents, and against CIV
ing notes for payments, which are
either sold or hypothecated, or trans
ferred to money lenders, or others.
People in misfortune, always deserve
sympathy, especially when they exer-
else ordinary precaution.
Piano buyers ought to know, that
We give better value for less money
than any other House in the south.

lection. THOS. GOGGAN & EROS.
