a check on the National Bank of

A large crowd were present at the

Hugh Humphrey, reserved their de-

In NIemOriam.

Again the Reaper has entered our
Society and taken a beloved sister
f'to the home of the blest". On the
morning OF May 9th, at St. Luke's
Hospital, in Richmond, Va, the
pure spirit of Minnie Best passed
away. 1t seems wrong that we
should grieve at the going out OF
such a beautiful Christian character.
In early life she gave herself to her
Saviour, and ever after sought more
ofHis presence, and gave Him more
of her love. She was a devoted
daughter, loving sister, and an I'M
falling friend.
She loved her church, and was a
faithful member of the Woman's
Foreign Missionary Society. Last
year she was unanimously elected as
Corresponding Secretary, but owing
to falling health was forced to re
sign. She was interested in the work
and her heart always responded to
its needs. God has reaped His own,
Her mission is finished and she has
left the perfume of a consecrated
life. May its halloWed influence
abide with US, calling US 10 more
vigilant service for the Master.
Resolved, First. That while we
will miss her presence we will bow
in humble submission to Gods will,
knowing that some time we will un-
derstand what now seems so mys-
ferrous.
End. That we tender the be-
Eeaved household our ~sincerest sym
pathtes in this dark hour, praying
that our Heavenly Father in His
Infinite goodness will pour the heal
ing balm in their bleeding hearts,
and that they may feel that her 60
ing away is only "one more tie to
make the strange Beyond seen
FAIR"
3rd. That a copy of these resolu-
tons be sent to the stricken family,
to the ARGUS and Raleigh Christian
and also be spread upon

MRS. ANNA DAVIS DEAD.
Beloved Wife of Maj. David S,
Davis Falls on Sleep.
From Tuesd US Daily.

Davis Falls on Sleep.
From Tunsd US Daily.
On yesterday, just as the shadows
of evening fell upon earth, atthe old
home on Ash street in this city,
there passed into the great beyond
the soul of Mrs. Anna Lightner
Davis, wife of Major David S. Davis.
Measured by the true standard, her
life was a successful one, for through
out nearly two generations hers was
a lite of service, thinking for others,
doing for others, and living for
others.
Before her marriage, Mrs. OaVis
was a faithful, thorough, conocienti-
Gus teacher, and evep after her mar
riage, for a number Of years, so thor
ougniy was her heart in the work,
realizing as sac did the great field
for usefulness, she continued TO teach.
Later on, however, after much
persuasion on the part of her devot-
ed husband, Maj. DAVIS, they re-
moved from Kinston to their farm
in the upper part of Lentor County.
Immediately after moving to the
farm. Mrs. Davis entered with en-
thusiasm upon Church and sunday
school work in her neighborhood, at
Holy InnCcent's Episcopal church.
Loving the c0mpanionship of young
people, she gathered about her a
large following, and il q short TIME
her influence became a power for
| good in the neighborhood. Her work
was devoted to all classes. Her face
was as familiar in the humblest
homes of the poorest of the poor, as
in the homes where the sun of pros
perity shone. Administering to the
.lsoffering, helping those in distress,
speaking words of encouragement.
she went about doing good.
Men and women pass away, fame
is but a vapor, marble and granite
crumble into dust, but kind words
and good deeds live forever.
Mrs. Davis was born in SeutI
Carolina, having married the late
DR.. john Davis, a prominent ply
~sician, who died many years ago,
her second marriage was to 6
brother OF her first husband, Major
David S. Davis, of this city, one OF
the most gallant officers in the Con
federate Army, one of our mos;
esteemed citizens, and a husband
whose devotion to his wife was
| tender and beautiful.
Mrs. Davis was a sister of Mrs, B.
M. Privett and Mrs. Ford, of this
city. She was So years Of age.
The funeral was held this after
noon at five O'Clock from ST. Steph-
ems Episcopal church of which she
was a member, and the il torment
made in Willow Dale Cemetery.
