AID SOCIETY wEErs

A meeting of the members of the
Deborah Aid Society of the First Chris
tan church was held yesterday after
The Columbus commercial. (Columbus, Miss.) 1893-1922, 1910-04-10

The past week has been the
busiest one of the contest thus
far. 1t seemed as though all of
the contestants wanted that ele-
giant solid gold Swiss watch, of
fered as a special prize by Buder
Bros, and the young lady who
finally won it did so only after a
hard race. But those who were
unsuccessful have the satisfac-
ton of knowing that they re-
ceived double votes for their ef-
forts and these votes will all be
added to their total and will
count for the regular prizes.
Better than any of the splen-
did special prizes that have been
offered is the special ballot offer
which is on for this coming
week. 1t is the best offer of the
contest. 1t is the best offer that
has been made up to date and is
the best offer that will be made
during the whole campaign for
the big prizes.
The contestants may earn as
many of these special ballots as
they desire, and if they hope to
participate in the distribution of
prizes at the close of the contest
they will have to get some of
these special ballots.
This offer makes it possible for
new candidates to enter the con-
test and get to the top of the
list with very little effort. 1t
also makes it possible for those
who are already in the race to
place themselves in a splendid
position to win the diamond ring
and the beautiful prizes.
AS predicted by some of her
friends early in the race, Miss
Fannie Dismukes is now leading
all of the candidates in the big
campaign. 1t took this attract
i've and estimable young lady
quite a while to make up her
mind to enter the contest Sc
riously but her friends have

Col. Jno. B. Mcfarland, of the
governors staff, inspector gener-
al for the state, and Lieut.. Roy
Ashbrook of the 18th Infantry,
Inspector for the war depart
ment, inspected the local compa-
ny last Thursday night. There
were 43 men in line and they
made a very favorable impress
sion. Lieut.. Ashbrook, said that
it was the best drilled and the
largest company that he had in
spected so far. The work in ex-
tended order was commented on
very favorably by both Col. Nc
Farland and Lieut.. Ashbrook.
Sergeant Patterson of the 18th
Infantry, who is on detail with
the Mississippi National Guard,
spent two days here assisting
Capt. Mullins in the prepara-
tion for the inspection. Sar-
geant Patterson has served IL
years in the army and is SOL
dier who knows his business.
In his discharge papers special
mention is made of his service
and bravery in the PHILIPPINES,
he having saved a corporal's life
at risk of his own; he also led an
expedition that had several en-
gagements with the natives.
The company will be drilled Mon
day night for medal.

effect in the breast and he only
lived a short while.

DIED ON FRIDAY
FUNERAL THIS AFTERNOON
WIFE OF ]. H. STEVENS, A PROMINENT
COLUMBUS CITIZEN PASSES AWAY
AFTER A LONG ILLNESS

After an illness of severa
months duration borne with
Christian fortitude, Mrs. Ophelis
Stevens passed peacefully away
at an early nour friday morning
at the family residence sol 5th
avenue south.
Deceased was Miss Wallace of
Tennessee. She came to Colum-
bus when quite a young lady,
and was married to Mr.. J. II.
Stevens in 1860. She was con-
sistent member of the Christian
church and her devotion to
Christ and His cause was ever
beautiful and faithful until the
end. She was not only a church
member in name but went about
doing good whenever the oppor-
tunity presented itself, caring
naught for public praise but
ever laboring faithfully in the
Masters vineyard. Her long
residence in Columbus gave her
a wide circle of admiring friends
who ever found her ready and
willing to assist in the upbuild-
ing of all matters pertaining to
the welfare of this co immunity.
No one high or low, appealed
to her for help, or advice but
what received the most careful
and sympathetic attention. She
has gone on to a rich reward,
leaving behind a devoted hus-
band and two loving and dutifCl
children, Mr.. Wallace Stevens
and Miss Allie Stevens, besides
wide circle of close friends to
mourn her departure. The funer-
al will occur this afternoon at
$50 o'clock, at the family resi-
dence conducted by Rev. Easley.
The following friends will act
as pail bearers: Capt. John A.
Nelson, Messrs. T. o. Burris,
VIM Baldwin, Rupert Richards,
Jno. S. Robertson, J. NJ. Easton,

Braving the fierce North sea;

There peers a lovely face.

And sings a mournful strain;

And carries the song amain.
