An impromptu dance was held at
the V. I. A. hall last 7 Sday night,
| but owing to the ne. DproaCh of
the annual forty day s"&son of fast
ing, humiliation and prayer and the
fact that many of the participants
were about to renOunce the, world,
the occasion was more or less solemn
mostly less Society is queer in
stirution; it gets heap of satsfac-
ton out of the world, and it's a frigid
day in lent when it it can't extract a
pretty solid chunk of comfort out Of
its forty day bluff at self-abnegation
and world remuneration. 1t reminds
u worldly-minded cuss of certain
pretty little widow who blushed to
the roots of her blond hair and said
there, now," behind her fan, when
told how really bewitching she look
ed in her widows weeds.

Mrs. Rosa Raulerson died at the
home of her sister, Mrs. II. B. Bethel
on the Seville road, on Monday Of
last week. after Il lingering illness
from consumption. The funeral was
held from the house on Tuesday, the
pastor from Seville officiating. The
interment was in Eden cemetery.
The News could learn very little con
corning Mrs. Raulerson, but very
many will remember her arrival
here from North Carolina less than
two years ago, when she was Il rosy
checked, vivacious young lady and
WHO at that time showed no sign OF
the dread disease which was so soon
to cause her death. She was mar
ried year ago to Mr.. Raulcrson.
Her untimely death is deplored by
all so fortunate as to be numbered
among her friends and acquaint-
ances, and poignant grief to the
surviving relatives, to whom the sim
cere sympathy of the people goes out
A GOOD THING.
