MRS. HUGER BURIED
LAST TRIBUTE TO ExCELLrNr
 MOBILE WOMAN,
Sreat Asundance of Flowers and Vast Ceneourse of People to Honor
 Her Memory.

Mobile. April )-The funeral of Mrs. Daniel E. Huger this afternoon from Christ Episcopal Church carried with 1t so much sorrow that although the day was beautifully bright and spring-like there NFas a gloom and sadness over all.
 No family has been more intimately associated with the best in the city than the Husers. and Mrs. Huger, who was Miss Hattie withers. daughter Of Gen. Jones Withers, had, ever since her gfrlhood. been looked up to as the leader of all who bore the stamp of gentility.
 Her home. over which she reigned w.th vivacity, sweetness. and charm of manner. has always been synomy- nous with happiness to those who were so fortunate as to be listed among her friends.
 Even up to her last illness, with which she was stricken two weeks ago. she retained that magnetism that had drawn friends to her since her youth. and in her young womanhood made her one of the most noted and popular of the Southern belles.
 The death of her husband, Col. D. E. Huger. who was one of the most popu- lar men in the State, occurred a few years ago, and since then much of Mrs. Hugers life had been spent in the homes of her daughters, Mrs. Cleland Smith of Memphis. Tenn. and Mrs. Rob- ert Wilkie of New Orleans. both of whom have been in attendance at her bedside.
 There was an abundance of beauti- full floral offerings at the funeral and interment at Magnolia Cemetery. and those who acted as pall-bearers were: Dr. Henry Goldthwaite, MT. E. D. Led yard Mir. R. A. Sadler, MT. Winston Jones. Mir. Henry Lesesne. Mir. H. c. c. Donald. Mir. V. H. Marshall and Mir. Rittenhouse Moore
 MT and Mrs. Cleland Smith and Miss Harritte Smith will return to Mem phis in a few days, and Mir. and Mrs. Robert Wilkie and Miss Hattie Wilkie will go abroad in the near future.

PRICE FOR COURTHOUSE SITE.
St4S.O00 Said to he the Amount
 Demanded for the Property.

No formal agreement for the trans fer of the two valuable pieces of property belonging to the Sargent and Edwards families at the corner of Church and Elm streets. which will be used for the County court house as was announced in yesterdays Journal Courier, have yet been made, but that Is a matter of detail which will un- doubtedly be arranged a little later
 The present hitch in the proceedings is caused by the absence of two mem- bers of the committee having this mat ter in charge, Major Dennis A. Blakes- lee. who is in the south. and County is ill,
 Although it is confidently anticipat- ed that these two members of the com mittee of six having this matter in charge, will quickly acquiesce when the details of the purchase are out lined to them, the committeeman wish to wait until that time before contin- uing negotiations further
 The price to be paid for the two  pieces of property, according to pres ent understanding, is sl4S,000 just about what it is figured the present court house property is worth at pres ent market value.
 When tentative negotiations were first opened for the purchase of the Sargent property, sl2SOOO was the fig ure placed upon it. Later it was of fered for s1l0,00O which the members of the committee considered too much Later the price was dropped to s9O, ,0OO at which figure it now stands. The price of the Edwards property is s5S,- GOO
 These two pieces of property furnish an ideal site for such building as the county contemplates erecting. The committee will report the result of it's endeavors al the next county meeting. and preliminary plans will be submit ted at that time.
 The committee consists of Major John Q. Tilson, chairman: Major D X. Blakesee, Attorney John K. Beach and the three county commissioners.
