CHURCH BUILDING IN sTAUNT0N.
Three Handsome Edifices Now in Course
of Erection,

1t is very unusual thing for a city
| of the size of Staunton that there
| should be three handsome churches
| building at the same time, the Second
PRESBYTERIAN, Emmanuel Episcopal
and Baptist.
THE SECOND CHURCH PEOPLE
commenced theirs last fall and it is
now nearing complexion, the congrega-
ton hoping to dedicate on the first
Sabbath in October. 1t is of brick,
painted a cream color with black pen
cling, which has very pleasing effect
upon the eye. There are two towers,
the tallest on the corner, the building
being located on the corner of Freder.
lex and Lewis streets. opposite the
postotlce. The main entrance is
through pretty portico between the
towers, being on Frederick street and
the lecture room in the basement
fronts On Lewis street. The tower is
systematic, rising about 95 feet above
the pavement. The cost of erecting
and furnishing the building will pro
badly reach $4,000, and the seating
capacity will be about 700. The build
ing committee consists of Messrs. Ar
thur Wilson, W. A. Crawford, s.
Brown Allen, Frank Dull and DR.. W
N. Scott, and to Mr.. Dull is due the
credit OF designing the attractive and
commodiOus building.
EMMANUEL CHURCH
is being SO much enlarged and improv
ed that the building will look like a
new one when completed, which will
probably be before the cold weather
sets In. 1t has been only few years
since the church was built, but the
congregation has grown so rapidly that
1t wss found necessary to enlarge and
remodel the whole building, both as to
its interior and exterior. Besides a
considerable addition in the length of
the building in which there will be a
very handsome chancel with arrange
ment for large vested choir, the en-
trance will be tiled and the steps of !
involving a total outlay of |
from SIS, 900 to $4,000. The building
is composed of Messrs. A. |
f. Robertson, Thos. ID. Ransom, III. M.
and Jos. B. Woodward, and |
the contractors for the work are Black |

Mrs. Francis H. Smith.

Mrs. Janetta Alexander Smith, wife
of Major Francis H. Smith, died at
sunset yesterday evening at her home
ON White street. Lexington. Mrs.
Smiths health had been gradually fail
ing for six years. During the summe
those nearest her watched her cOndi.
ton with the deepest anxiety, but she
bore up so cheerfully and courageous
ly that the critical character of her i'll
ness was not apparent generally to her
friends. During the closing days of
last week she seemed unusually well,
then became not so we'll Her death
occurred suddenly and without strug-
gle. The news deeply shocked her
large circle Of friends and admirers in
the community. Major Smith was in
Staunton at the time, kept there by
his duties as superintendent of schools,
and drove over to his home last night
in buggy.
Mrs. Smith was born in Waynesboro
and came to Lexington to live in her
girlhood. She was the youngest
daughter of DR.. Livingston Waddell
and his wife, before marriage Miss
Hannah Estill. She was married in
1875 to Major Smith and leaves five
children: Livingston Waddell Smith,
Misses Annie Truxton, Lucy Preston,
EdmOnia Lewis and Janetta Waddell
Smith. She will be buried here tomor
row afternoon at an hour yet to be
fixed. The funeral services will be held
from the home.
Mrs. Smith was much admired and
beloved. No one ever knew her with
out being impressed with the beauty
of her character and the unselflsh, de
votion of her life. The charms and
graces and helpfulness which made bel
SO attractive in youth shone with IN
diminished brightness to bless her home
of maturer years. Her life beautifully
exemplitiad the Christian faith she haC
