DEATHOF MRS $. AIRY

Our readers will be greived to learn
of the death of Mrs. S. AIRY which
ocuredat her home in this city
last Friday evening after a lingering
illness. Funeral services were held
at the home Monday afternoon con-
Quoted by Rev. T. B. Greenlee, assist
ed by Rev. Jackson Gidens. Inter-
ment was made in Maple Grove
cemetery.
Mrs. AIRY had been a resident of
this county for many years, and was
we'll known to many of our readers
She was an every day christian. The
beautifying influence of a pure re-
ligion were spread over life and
character as spotless and charming
as was ever possessed by any of the
noble women who have lived and
died during the ages that are gone
AS such life was a blessing and bene-
faction to all within the sphere of it's
influence, so is the death of such a
one public misfortune, as well as
an irreparable loss to the home circle
made desolate by her departure. No
one was more willing to aid the
suffering, cheer the responding, sus-
tain the weak and to throw over the
frailties of our race the mantle of
Christian charity. and when sick
ness and death came to her, as it
comes to all. neighbors and friends
We'd with each other in acts of loving
kindness and tender solicitude Mrs.
AIRY had many warm personal friends
all of whom sympathize with the bere-
aved husband who is left to mourn the
loss of his companion.
