Central Church Parsonage.

All Raleigh was shocked to hear OF
the death of Mrs. q. II. Adams, which
sad event took place yesterday after

before her death came and its news,

among her husbands congregation.
BY her purity and sweetness and good
ness she has made hosts of friends

Matte Manning. She was the daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Manning,

married to Rev. G. T. Adams, the pres
ent pastor of Central church.
The news of her death was tele-
graphed TO her sister, Miss LYDIA
Manning, of Nashville. If Miss Mann
ing desires the burial to take place III
Nashville the body will be shipped

ment will take place here.

dren. Her noble character and kind
lv and gracious demeanor has made
her hosts of friends. She was one OF
the truest and most faithful OF wo-
men, and her husband and children
have met with irreparable loss.
She was interested in all forms OF
church work, and especially to the
poor did her presence bring sunshine
and good cheer. Faithful and true as
ing in her care for her family she
ing in her care for her family. one
was a model in every respect. her loss
will be kecnly felt among the church
workers of the city.

ances of the most gorgeously equipped APP
partments. 1t is sort of bird s-eye
view of all the different rooms OF d
superbly appointed mansion, and many are

as one catches first glimpse of all this
luxury

Cole Manufacturing Co

The new planter exhibited by the Cole
Manufacturing Company has perhaps re-
ceived more attention than any other ma
chine Of its kind. Mr. r. M Cole. Of
Carthage, n. c.. is the inventor Mr.
Cole has made special study of this line
of machinery and has devoted several
years to bringing out a planting machine
which would meet the demands of South
ern farmers. Instead of making three
separate planters for the three staple
crops, corn, cotton and peas, he has made
a remarkable combination which can be
produced at the average cost of a single
planter. The most striking points in
the machine is it's great simplicity and ad-
justibility.
All who are interested in home manu-.
featuring and this line of machinery will
be pleased to know that a company has

manufacture of the Cole Combination
Planter and other agricultural machinery.
This company has a capital stock of $15,-
