MRS. CAROLINE JONES
DEAD.
Passed Away Tuesday Night
Long .and Useful Career
Ended-Funeral Service.

A feeling of the deepest sor-
row and regret was cast over
Lumberton and this entire Sec
ton yesterday morning when it
was announced that Mrs. Caro-
line Jones had died Tuesday
night at $50 o'clock. Mrs. Jones
had only been sick a week, hav-
ing been taken i'll on Tuesday
mig hit of last week. While she
had not enjoyed good health for
several years, the immediate
cause of her death was bron-
chitis.
Mrs. Jones was born and raised
in Lumberton, and had she lived
until October 21st, would have
been II years old, and was one
OF the best known ladies in this
section. For many years she con-
Quoted a boarding house which
was always the home of many
people who came to town from
this and other counties.
Early in life Mrs. Jones joined
the Methodist church of which
she remained a member until her
death.
Mrs. Jones is survived by one
daughter, Mrs. w. S. Wishart,
who resided with her. Her only
sister, Mrs. J. M. Stephens, died
at her home in Jonesboro less
than a year ago.
The funeral services were con-
Quoted from the residence yes
terday afternoon at 5 O'Clock,
Rev. A. P. Tyer, of Maxton, a
former pastor of the deceased,
officiating, assisted by Rev. E.
M. Hoyle, pastor of the Lumber
ton Methodist church. Nearer
My God to Thee" and Gather
ing at the River" were sweetly
and softly rendered by Messrs. c.
B. Skipper, E. ]. Britt and J. P.
Stephens, and Mrs. Lizzie Proc
tor.
The remains were borne to
MeadoWbrook cemetery where
they were tenderly laid to rest.
The very large number of friends
who were present to pay their
last sad respects to a departed
friend attested the high esteem
in which she was held. The floral
tributes were manv and beauti-
full, among them being a very
large one of anchor design, pre-
sented by the young men who
boarded with Mrs. Jones.
Those who acted as pall-bearers
were, honorary: C. B. Town

Lumber Bridge Takes Prize.

Fayetteville Observer.
The recent encampment of the
Second Regiment of the North
Carolina Northumberland was held
principally for the promotion of
rifle practice. Each company was
required to go on the 200, the 300
and 500 yard range, and each man
to shoot ten times at target, at
the first standing, at the second
kneeling and at third lying down.
Those scoring SO out of $50 were
designated as marksmen, and al
lowed to go to the 600 and 1000
yard ranges. Considerable inter
est was manifested and competi-
ton between the companies was
very keen. The scores have beer
computed and it has been found
that the Lumber Bridge Ligh-
Infantry led the Regiment, lead
| ing one of the Goldsboro compa
MES, which was thought to be ar
easy winner, by two points. Thi
