HEFLIN MOURNS THE LOSS
OF A GOOD WOMAN

Friends at Heflin and Ringgold were
saddened beyond expression when the
news spread that Mrs. s. z. Thomas
Of Heflin, had died Sunday night at
1855 o'clock, following an acute illness
with which she was stricken on Satur-
day morning a day prior to her death.
Her health had been very poor for sew
eral years, but she had been able to
attend to her household duties most of
the time until Saturday morning, when
the last attack came.
Her life had been beautiful eX.
ample Of consistent Christian living,
and 1t was fitting that she was per.
mitted by Him who knoweth all things
best, to pass on to her reward quietly

of limited editions.
On the death OF Rt. Rev. Bishop
McGill Bishop Gibbons was trans
forred to Richmond in which see he
was installed by Archbishop Bayley
on October 20 1872. His admins
tration in Richmond was marked by
an almost Immediate revival of in
tcrest in Catholic projects. and the
cause of religion hourished with new
vigor under his administration. In
the course of the five years of his
Richmond episcopate seven new
churches were erected, and st. Pc
tcr's Cathedral, Academy and Paro-
chial School were founded. st. Jo-
seph's Orphan Asylum was enlarged
and schools were built at Petersburg
and Portsmouth, these being but a
few of the fruits of his energy and
talent and accomplishment.
MADE ARCHBISHOP.
On May 20. 1877, Bishop Gibbons
was appointed coadjutor with the
right of succession to the Most Rev.
James Roosevelt Bayley, Archbishop
of Baltimore. He Immediately took
UP his residence in this city.
On October of that year Arch
bishop Bayley passed to his reward,
and Bishop Gibbons succeeded to the
responsibilities OF the first archdio-
cese in America. In the following
February he was solemnly vested
with the pallium. the insignia of the
ArcH!cniscopal dignity, in his Cathe-
dr8l seat at Baltimore.
IN 1888 when Archbishop Gibbons
and other American prelates were
summoned TO Rome to confer with
Pope Leo on affairs relating to the
welfare Of the church in the United
states, His Holiness showed him great
favor and was so impressed by the
baltimore prelate that he appointed
him to preside over the third plenary
rounCil of Baltimore, convened in the
Following year. At the session OF this,
the most imposing gathering OF prel.
at,s and divines ever held in America,
when the wealth of intellect. splendor
of rank. and halo OF ecclesiastical
achievement combined to make an as
ssemblage forever notable in the
american records OF matters of
church, the executive ability Of Arch
bishop Gibbons was exhibited clearly,
winning for him the respect and ad-
miration of the assembled theolog ians.
His zeal and energy largely con-
