SOUTHERN AUTHORIZES DEAD.
Mrs. Augusta Evans Wilson Lays
Down Her Pen Forever.

Mobile, Ala, May 9.--Death came
almost instantly to Mrs. Augusta Ev
ans Wilson, the well-known South
ern authoreSs, while she was dress
ing this morning at her home, No
$50 Government street, causing dis
tinct shock to her relatives and
friends all over the country. Death
was due to an attack of heart fail
ure. Arising early this morning,
Mrs. Wilson seemed to be in the best
Of health, considering her advanced
age. She retired early on Saturday
night, and was in the best of spirits.
Mrs. Wilson was born at Colum-
bus, Ga, May 8, 1885, and was,
therefore, "A years of age. Her par
ents were Matthew Ryan and Sarah
Howard Evans, of that city, and at
the age Of II years she accompanied
them to San Antonio, Texas, remain
ing there for three years. She came
to this city more than sixty years
ago, and had resided here continu-
ally ever since. Her marriage in
1868, in this city, to Col. l.. NJ. Will
son, a well-known banker in his time
was an event that was long remem-
bered He died in 1891, and there
were no children.

Mrs. Wilson produced were such pop

Alamo" "Beulah," "Macaria," est.
Elmo" a book written during the
close Of the Civil War, and probably
her greatest work; "Vashti," "Infe-
lice" "At the Mercy Of Tiberius" and
"The Speckled Bird" Her first book
was 'Inez," written in 1856, and her
last production was "Devota," in
1907.
Mrs. Wilson spent the evening
time of her beautiful and even life
In retirement and quietness verging
on solitude. In her latter days she
refused to be interviewed by news
paper men as to her works and life,
avoiding all publicity, and feeling
perhaps somewhat piqued because of
certain criticisms and structures on
her publication. "The Sneckled pirdn

LITTLE GEORGIA HEROINE.
Fiftecn-Year-Oid Girl Rcscues Fa-
ther from Storms AAebris.

Bowdon, Ga, May 9.--Last Fri
day night, during the disastrous cy-
clone which swept through this sec
tion OF the country, the house OF
Mimic Price was totally destroyed,
his barn and all out-buildings blown
away and torn up considerably.
His wife was killed in bed by some
falling timbers, while little child,
only 16 months old, was not hurt, or
even awakened during the storm.
Mr.. Price was blown out under some
falling timbers of the house and
chimney and was there fastened until
his little daughter, age 10, could get
him out.
At first neither knew where the
other was. The little girl climbed
the bell post and rang for help, but
owing to the loud thunder and light
ming 1t could not be heard. The child
then called and her father answered,
telling her to go and see about her
mother. She went and found her
mother dead and very badly bruised,
and the child in the bed asleep
She went to the woodpile and got
the axe and crawled as close to him
as she could get and began to cut
her way through to him. After an
hours work she succeeded in getting
him loose, except for large rock
lying on her fathers hand. This
she tried several times to move, till
her father, not knowing in what con-
dition the rest Of the family was,
told her to cut his arm Off She
finally, however, succeeded in re-
moving the rock.
1t was so dark the child could not
see, only as 1t lightened, but not once
did she hit her fathers arm as she
was cutting the planks in two that
were laying on 1t.
After she succeeded in getting her
father loose she began 20 hunt the
other children.
Mrs. Price was buried next day at
Pleasant Grove church There is not
tree nor house of any kind lett
