Death of Mrs. J.. Archie Wolfe.

After a lingering illness, during
which her sufferings were excrucia-
ting, Mrs. J. Archie Wolfe, died at
her home in Sandy Run, on Sunday,
April LIST, 1900. She had been a long
sufferer from disease and all that
medical skill and tender loving hands
could do to effect a cure and to allie
viate her pains was done, but alas,
they were fruitless. She was a noble
hearted Christian woman, who un-
complainingly bore her severe trial
with a meekness, which adorns and
beauties the Christian character
and relied implicitly upon the prom
ises Of her Lord that after this life's
Gtful fever was over she would enter
the city of the new Jerusalem, where
pain and sfdiction, suffering and
death never enter. Asa wife, she
was true to every obligations; as a
mother, she was af%ectionate and in
dulgent and as a neighbor, she was
kind and generous. A good woman
has entered upon her everlasting re-
ward in that mansion, not made
with hands eternal in the heavens.
She was buried in the Wolfe grave
yard on Sandy Run last Monday, in
the presence of weeping relatives
and sorrowing and sympsthising
friends.

astonishingly accurate and in this
respect he is far ahead of De7ore, I.

there will be a tremendous freeze

they are making frank statements

publicans. The following is call
issued by them for the organiza-
ton of cOlored republican club:
We have made efforts to organ
ize heretofore in one general club
of whites and blacks, but without
success, owing to the unwilling
ness of some Of our white repub-
lican friends to organize with the
negro. The republican organiza-
ton has impeded progress; there
fore. we will say to them, as Abra-
ham said to Lot, LET there be
no strife" We will divide as
they did the grass plains and still
be friends, but take up our politi-
cal arms and march to the front in
protection of republican rights,
regardless of color or nationality.
