DEATH OF MRS. DAVIDSON.

Late yesterday evening Mrs. David
son, wife of F. r. Davidson, general
superintendent of the Newman Lum-
ber Company, died at the family resi-
dence in this city after an illness of
several months. She had an opera
tion performed from which. it seems,
she got but little relief, and gradu-
ally grew worse until her death.
Therefore it was no surprise to hear
of her death, though none the less
regretted.
Mrs. Davidson came to Hattiesburg
from Pennsylvania and had become
identified as one of our citizens She
was a good, Christian woman, good
wife, good mother and all liked her
who knew her.
The remains were buried in the
Hattiesburg cemetery this evening
about 8 O'Clock, and were followed to
their last resting place by large
number of our people.
