Beautiful Life Ended.

One of the saddest deaths that it
has been GU privilege TO chronicle
in recent years was that Of Miss Bet =
tie Macklin, daughter of the late and
lamented John Macklin, which oc-
Cured at the home of her brOther-in-
law, Mr.. Burbridge Blackburn, near
Woodlake, on Tuesday morning last.
Miss Bette was the youngest child
OF a large family, and of Il sweet,
modest, and lovely disposition.
Her health had been poor for some
time and every effort was put forth
by loving hearts to shield and ward
off the impending blow.
She spent the better part Of the,
year in Florida with the hope that
its milder climate might stay the in
roads of disease, but in vain, and she
returned to her old neighbOrhOod,
kindred and friends, to lay down
life's burden.
She was a handsome young woman
and her character was as lovely as
her person.
For years she had been Il member
of Providence Baptist Church, this
county, and, when the hour of dis
solution came, her faith was firm
and mistaken, and she quietly fell
asleep in the Savior's loving arms.
She leaves an aged mother and
two sisters Mrs. Emma Blackburn
and Mrs. Anna StevensOn) together
with a large circle of relatives and
friends to mourn the blighting of a
pure and happy young lie.
The funeral took place on We'd
nesday morning from Providence
Church, the services being conducted
by her pastor, Rev. E. f. Wright,
assisted by DIR. u. T. Cody and Rev.
T. Warn Beagle, and was attended
by every body in the neighbOrhood.
The remains were placed among
her kindred dead in our cemetery.
We tender our sincerest sympathy
to the sorrOwing hearts thus made
desolate.

Death Of a Retired Merchant.

On Saturday night last, at 9;3C
O'Clock. Mr.. WIN. II. Waggenel
died at his rooms in the Capital
Hotel, Of acute heart trouble, aged
60 years.
Mr.. Waggener was the son Of the
late DR.. A. G. Waggener. He wa
born at Rus1ellville, KY, on the 9th
of August. 1853. When n child he
removed with his parents TO Dan
willie, where he spent his youth and
young manhood. In June, 1854, he
graduated from Centre College, and
in January, 1866, entered into part
nership with his brother, Mr.. j. l..
Waggener, in the dry goods business.
Owing TO the frequent raids made
upon the city of Danville, during
the war, the Waggener brothers re-
moved to this city in December, 1868,
and opened up in the stOrerOOm now
occupied by DR.. S. B. Holmes as a
drug store, at the corner o. M il and
st. Clair streets.
They were very successful and
popular 9s merchants, and continued
in the basiness until November, 1888,
removing, in the meantime, to
the store now occupied by johnson
g. Hoge, which they had erected
especially for the purpose.
Owing to delicate health upon the
part of the members Of the firm,
they closed out their business as
above stated, and retired to enjoy
the competence which they had
earned.
Mr.. Waggener was married III
early life to Miss Mary Cooke, OF
Harrodsburg, by whom he had three
sons, Victor, Lucien and BERTHE.
BERTHE died when a small child, but
Victor died from the result OF an
accident, when just budding into
Young manhood. Mrs. WaPgener's
health gave way and she soon fol-
lowed her noble boy.
OF late years Mr.. Waggener and
his brother have spent the summer
months at Atlantic City, n. j., and
the winter at the Capital Hotel in
this city.
For a long time Mr.. Waggener has
suffered from some heart trouble, but
did not take to his bed until a few
DAYS before the end.
His son Mr.. J. Lucien Waggener,
ir., who is professor in a college in
Iowa, reached here, in response to a
telegram, few hours before his
fathers death.
