Friends of Mrs. D Holmes Grieved
 at News of Her Demisc.
 Eufaula, July 26.-(Special. 1.-The announcement of the death of Mrs. J. D. Holmes, which occurred at her home on Orange Street last night, came as a great shock to her legion of warm friends here and elsewhere. Mrs. Hclmes had not been in strong health for the past year or more but was apie to do light housework and visit her neiShbors Monday night she was stricken with paralysis and gradually grew worse until the end came this morning at 8 o'clock. She was the only daughter of Mir. and Mrs. M. A. ntat nt of this city and was the idol Of that ho lsehold She was married to J. U. Holmes of this city about dozen years ago and a more devoted couple never lived in this section. She was most lovable Christian woman and her un- timely end is deeply deplored Her hu sband father and mother and sev- eral brothers are left to mourn her death. The funeral will occur from her late residence tomorrow morning at o'clock and her remains will be in- tered in Fairview cemetery here.
 The sweet potato and sugar cane crops are assured and under the m f1uence of the late rains are growing finely. The acreage this season is large and it Is believed that the greatest abundance will be produced.
 Fitzhugh Lee and family, who have been residing about one mile north Of the city, will move lere this fall. MT. Lee has purchased the Jeff Davis home on Sanford Street, which he will oc- cupy.
 Work is progressing rapidly on the recently burned building owned by Gov ernor Jelks and 1t will be ready for oc- cupancy this fall.
 Capt. J. R. Barr, who resides five miles south of the city. is quite sick and was brought to the infirmary here for treatment this week.
 A large party of citizens is enjoying an outing at Blue Springs and will re- main some time. The springs are be- coming more and more popular every season as a place of resort and larger crowds are being attracted there.
 The electric light company is over- ha Hing its plant here and equipping 1t with mu:h new and improved ma chinery. When completed 1t will be ca pacitated to run street cars. If the spirit should ever possess the citizens to have them.
 Everybody in this section Is antici- pating 0 fine fall trade. If the present price of cotton holds up there is no doubt that the farmers will be in much better shaps than they have been in many years and money is expected to flow freely.
