A VERY SAD DEATH
Mrs. Stella Moser Answered Final
Summons Last Thursday Morning.

This town and community was
shocked Thursday morning OF last
week when the news became gener-
al that Mrs. Stella Moser, wife OF
Albert Moser, had passed away at
the home of her parents, MIR. and
Mrs. W. C. Snow. Mr.. and Mrs.
Moser had been residing at Williford
for some time, but Mrs. MoSer had
been at the home of her parents
here for a few weeks.
Mrs. Moser died in childbirth, the
infant being stillborn. Burial oc-
Cured Friday afternoon, mother
and child being laid away in the
same grave. Funeral services were
conducted by Rev. C. j. Wade, and
a few appropriate words were also
spoken at the grave by O.C. Shaver
who had lived a neighbor to the
deceased for many years.
The death of Mrs. Moser was one
of the saddest events that has been
recorded in Evening Shade in many
days, and the erief-stricken husband
parents and other relatives have
the sympathy of a host Of friends.
Mrs. Moser was 27 years of agt
and had been married few days
over four years. She was an ex
cellent young woman and had tn
friendship and esteem of all wit
knew her.

Charged With Aggravated Assault

George Crigler of Bengay was ar
raigned before Esq, E. l. Dickerson
here Wednesday on the charge OF
aggravated assault, preferred against
him by Holley Howard of the same
community, the two having engag-
ed in a difficulty very recently. The
trial was postponed until January
20. 1t is remembered that lately
Crigler and Howard had a suit here
it being claimed by Crigler that
Howard had killed a mule belonging
to him. Howard won that suit, and
it is supposed that this last Difficult
ty was caused by feeling engender
ed over the first affair.

MEXICO GETTING IN LINE,

made repeated efforts to align our
neighhor tc the south against the
United States and in league with their

rection has prompted the spending Of
great wealth in Mexico and the prem
