| greatest thought and consideration for
| other peoples feelings and striving

| the afflicted and distressed and to help
| those who had started on downward
course to retrieve the past and begin
| life anew.
| Mrs. Andrews was a broadminded
| Christian and her good works were
| not confined TO those of her own
| church or creed. For years she had
been a friend to many of the colored
race, and on last Sunday at two OF the
| colored churches in town and one at
Camp Parole, prayers were offered
| for her recovery. Mrs. Andrews was
| a member of the First Methodist Epis-
| copal Church of this city, from which
| church the funeral will take place to-
morrow. Wednesday Afternoon, at 3
