Mrs. Ella Huckabee Nance has re-
ceived intelligence of the death of
her sister-in-law, Mrs. Stella Massey
Huckabee, widow of Mr.. Duette
Huckabee, who died at the home of
her sister in Jeffersonville, Ga, last
week. She was preceded to the grave
by her husband several weeks ago.
Mr.. Huckabee had been in declining
health for some time and while on a
visit to his wife's sister at Jefferson
vile died quite suddenly. The shock
and anxiety incident to his death
prostrated his wife and she followed
him to the grave in a few weeks,
without having recovered sufficient
| ly to return to her home at Millidge-
vile. Mr.. Huckabee was born and
reared at this place, but had made
his home in Georgia for many years.
He was son of Rev. and Mrs. Green
Huckabee, a godly and noble couple,
who died long years ago. Mr.. Huck-
abee was. about 78 years Of age; his
wife, a native of Georgia, was 65.
Much sympathy. is expressed for Mrs.
Nance, who is the last of her gener-
alton, the sole survivor of a large
family of sons and daughters.
The girls of the high school will
give the play deacon Dubs" in the
school auditorium on next Wednes-
day evening, Dec. 21st. The cast of
characters is exceptionally good, the
music fine and the stage effect ex.
cellent. One of the attractive fea-
lures of the play, will be the dane
ing of the Virginia reel in full cos
tune, which is said to be superfine.
The play is under the management
of the teachers. A small admittance
fee will be charged, the money to
be used for school purposes. It is
hoped full house will be present as
the girls have gone to some expense
and considerable work to present the
play.
