A venerable colored woman of Coffey-
vile realized that she had but little
time to live-peThaps two OF three weeks.
Twilight and evening star, and after
that the dark" said she; and while she
had no objections to crossing the bar,
she wanted to see all her friepds before
embarking. So she published a card in
the local papers expressing the wish that
her friends would call upon her at her
lowly abode and say good-by She had
many friends. white and black. all OF
whom had great respect for her. for
she was good woman all OF the Olden
time, and they went 20 her little shack
and found her cheerful and optimistic
Death was a trifling thing, to be sure,
but fine old woman. all of the olden
time, didn't think il was just right to
start out on the trip without saying a
word to her friends. So she shook their
hands and said. God bless you' and
they said. God bless you" TO her, and
went away, hardly knowing whether TO
laugh or cry. The old woman died on
Monday. During the last two or three
weeks she had the best time of her life.
Every day was reception day, and she
was at home to her friends at all hours,
and the friends. were SO numerous that
they wore path TO her door. 1t prob

When seen by The Washington Herald
man the baron evinced deep interest in
American newspaper methods-in the
ways and means of obtaining the news,
transmitting IL. editing IT, in the intri-
cacies of headline making which he ana
many others imagine TO be done Off
hand and haphazardly.
What I am at loss TO understand is
how in the world they manage to get
the news out In print so quickly. Surely
the writing of the article, It's setting. and
printing the whole issue must take up
considerable time" said he.
