Sudden Death of Mrs. Lucy Glove,
Durisoe.

Durisoe.
Oftentimes ithose who seem to
be the strongest and most robust
have the icy hands of Death laid
upon them, while others who are
frail and delicate are left to dwell
among us for many years. Our
community was unspeakably
shocked on Monday morning when
it became known that Mrs. Lucy
Durisoe, the widow of the late D.
R. Durisoe, bad died about twelve
o'clock on Sunday night from
apoplexy Of the brain. She had
previously had two attacks or
strokes but had apparently re-
covered. On Tuesday morning a
great throng of friends and rela-
tives gathered to pay last loving
tribute to this good woman. The
funeral services were conducted
by Rev. C. E. Burts, the pastor Of
g. -
the deceased.
Save one brother, Mr.. w A.
Glover, who resides in Augusta,
Mrs. 5Durisoe was the last. sHtsa
;V1iiviing membe er .of tb clay
Egreatl y honored family Wss8
was MIR. Willie Glover. Her long
|.life of three score years was spent
Iin Edg field. There need not be
any. wonder then that she was so
universally beloved. By nature she
was woman of force, resolution,
infexible and uncompromising in
character-always kind, thought
ful, generous, lovable. From a
life of intense activity and USE
fulpess on earth this good woman
has oeen called by her Saviour,
whom she loved and served from
early life, up higher to JOIN the
many loved ones who have pre-
ceded her.

In spite of the very inclem ent
weather which prevented the hold
ing of the baby show and inter-
fered somewhat with the bazaar,
the ladies Of the Edgefeld Litera-
ry Club realized sixty-odd dollars
on Friday evening last. All Of the
delicious candy and supper, in
Guiding the oysters, were reality
sold, and only two or three pieces
of fancy work remained. The
ladies have been very generally
complimented upon the beautiful
decoration of the court room and
the three principal booths. The
phenomenal success of the bazaar,
in spite Of the odds against it, is
proof positive that to have any,
thing we'll doue it must be en-
gineered by the ladies.
