"FhIs woman was full of good works

This eulogistic sentiment was ex-
pressed concerning the life and Iabors
of Doreas, and is recorded in the eighty
sixth verse of the ninth chapter of the
Acts OF the Apostles. 1t might with
EQUAL force, have been applied TO the
we'll rounded and successful career of
the late Mrs. Alice Strange Davis,
whose life was indeed full Of good works

bereavement to her immediate fsmi-
ly and friend. ALI Wash ngton, as a
community, is mourner, for so gen
erOus was her nature. SO deep her sym
pathies and so unbiased her views,
that wherever she cOu'd be of service,
wherever she could assist a worthy
cause or spread ray of light, che gave
freely Of her time, talent and strength.
Individuals, high and low, have felt
the charm OF her music Churches,
regardless Of denomination, have been
prOfiled by her services. Pupils have
been encouraged by her CHEEKY advice
and womanly tenderness. Those bowed
in grief have been made to look up be-
cause OF her friendly counsel. Ia every
undertaking she was successful, be-
cause she always did her best, and
counted NJ trial too d i ifficuft If it added
to the com pIeteness Of an honorable
purpose.

she had loved were there to pay O last

readily that she is thirty years old. She
taught IN the graded schools of Will

one of the high schools of North Caro-
lima. She became proficient as a type
writer and stenographer. In May 1896
she became the wife of Mr.. O. g. Stew
ard Of Bristol, Tenn, which city has
since been her home. For the past four
years she has been ass oeiated with
Messrs. Thompson and Steward as
private clerk to manager, clerk of all
Els hermen conven tions, and editor of
The Ship during the past three years.
Beside editorial work, Mis-. Steward
has added five thoussnd paid up sub

She has also acted as general solicitor
for Fishermen plantations and has col
lected thousands OF dollars since last
February and bestowed nine hundred
worth of new household eff ects upon
the farm houses. She prides herself on
never having asked white person for
q penny though many Caucasians have
contributed to the cause she represents.
She did not ask help from the white
race because she thinks 1t is high time
for the Negro to be self. lf.sustaining.
Mrs. Steward has delivered one hun.

Mrs Steward possesses journalistic

been made. She has no political
tendencies. but having been associated
with political father and husband for
years she has become remarkably in

out Independent, advising calmly and
