Admission, Ala, Star.
All Admission mourns thedeath
of Mrs. w. w. Stringfellow, who
sank to rest early Saturday after
a long and trying illness, which
she had borne with great forti.
tude and cheerfulness. Mrs.
Stringfellow was known to and
beloved by a great number of
people, not only in Admission but
throughout Alabama, and the
news of her death has carried
genuine sorrow to many hearts.
Almost the entire 81 years of
her life Mrs. Stringfellow had
lived in Admission, coming with
her father, the late Duncan T.
Parker, from Mobile, when he
become president Of the FIRST Ma
tional Bank, in the early days of
Admission, a post which later was
filed for many years by her hus-
band.
In the social and religious life
of Admission and in all of the good
works undertaken in the nameof
charity and religion in this city,
Mrs. Stringfellow took a promi-
nent part, and she always was
foremost in every worthy move
ment which enlisted the interest
of the women of the city. Her
brightdisposition, unfailingcheer
fulness and marvellous energy
won for her the love and admira-
tion Of all who came within her
influence and her death has sad
dened hundreds of people in this
and other Alabama cities.

North Carolina mountains Mrs.

The Country Press.

Among the many things which
the war brought home to the ma
ton was the big part played and
the big influence welded in A.
merican life by what for want
of a better TERMS generally re
ferred to as the small town or
country newspaper.
There was a time when the
country newspaper and the coun-
try editor were the butts of jokes
and the signals for smiles. That
time is past; gone, we believe,
forever. The war helped to do
it, for the war, as in many other
instances, jolted the sophistoca-
ted and lazy national conscious
ness into the realization of tie
importance, the significance and
the genuine worth of the country
press.
One of the proudest pages in
the history of Americas share in
the war is that devoted to the uni
versal and answering loyalty of
it's newspapers which, almost
without exception, gave the most
selfless sort Ofservice to the COM
mon cause of the country. And
of Americas newspapers, the
patriotism and service of none
were more marked than that Of
the country papers. Their part
cannot be overestimated; their re-
ward is in gaining recognition,
which they always deserved, of
an Importance which they have
always possessed and which will
be theirs in a greater degre than
ever henceforth.
The country paper has a char

Stringfellow used her wealth for
the education of dozens of girls
in that section. In herhome State
Mrs. Stringfellow's name has al
ways been coupled with charita-
BILE and worthy deeds and never
a worthy case has been too small
or too large for her careful and
personal attention.
Besides her husband, Mrs.
Stringfellow is survived by one
sister, Mrs. Hegemeyer, of New
York city.
Mrs. Stringfellow's fortune,
nearly a quarter of a million dol
lars, including the beautifulman-
sion now being built in Admission,
was left by her will for charity
hospital after the death of her
husband. Mr.. Stringfellow will
likely add much to the bequest,
making the institution one of the
finest and best equipped hOspi-
tails in the country.
