dren of Henry Thompson, negrU.
who lives on the farm Of Benj. Smith,
II negro, about four miles north of the

Fridny evening. Tho talented and
eloquent Father Budds officiated, and
paid most beautiful tribute to the

friendship. There is consolation in
the memory Of her lovely and unset
fish character, fitting prelude to so
gentle Il passing OF the sweet spirit to
its God. Mrs. Breslin presided at the
organ, while Miss Stella Bobo and Mrs.
Miller rendered with touching effect
Mrs. Wooilward's favorite hymns
Grccnrille Ncws. Mrs. Woodward was
81 sister of Mrs. NJ. Kennedy, Of this
city, and was loved by all who knew

Col. Gcru. l.. Hammond was the soil

incident. 1t seems that two we'll
known citizens. Mcssrs. w. B. Magru-
der and L. II. Watson, were conversing
very quietly, and in IN apparently
friendly manner, when Mr.. Levi n.
Gcer stepped up between them with
something concealed under his coat
and whispered to Magruder, who fol-
