During the past week a suggestion was
made by Mrs. Josephine Esputa-Da!y that
a memorial service l., held for Mrs.
Zaidec Jones Smith, who died recently,
ana who was for nine years the soprano
soloist OF ST. Matthew's Church. The
matter has been discussed IN local mu-
steal circles. and Mrs. Smiths old friends
and many who were only acquainted with
her through her beautiful voice have ex-
pressed themselves in favor OF the sery-
ice.
During her residence here Mrs. Smith
took a prominent part in musical af-
fairs, and was ever ready and willing to
assist at the many charitable concerts
gwen during the season. The fact that
her services were always given so gen.
arously and that to her was due in
great measure the success of st. Mat
thew's choir In the old days. should be
sufficient to solicit the assistance of many
Of the singers now resident here.
Those who will lend their services are
to notify Mr.. L. E. Cannon. at
he Riggs House. The memorial service
will be held thu last Sunday in May at
he Church of the Sacred Heart
