DEATH OF MRS. W. P. sNOWDEN

Mrs. W. P. Snowden died suddenly
at her home in Macon Wednesday
morning at 1880. Her death came as
a shock to her relatives and friends
as very few knew that she was i'll.
She had been unweli for several
days, but her condition was in no
ways consided serious. Her sister,
Mrs. Boggess asked her Tuesday
morning what she would have for
breakfast and she replied "some tea"
as her physician had advised her
against coffee In a few minutes af-
ter speaking to her sister Mrs. Bog
CESS noticed that she was breathing
unnaturallv and summoned the doc
tors and her sister, Mrs. Holberg and
neighbms She was past any human
help when her loved ones reached her
side.
Mrs. Snowden was one Of the most
beloved women in the county. She
was of an amiabe disposition, as well
as a woman Of innate culture and re
fnement. She will be greatly missed
not only in her own church circle and
family, but by the whole community
After services at the Baptist church
al 10 o'clock Thursday morning, her
remainswere Inferred in the Odd Eel
lows cemetery.

If ball played in Macon for many
years was the one of last Wednesday
between the teams Of Shuqualak and
Macon. Shuquaak won by the score
Of to l. The Shuqualak team is
composed Of good, consistent ball
players, and although there are no in
diyidual stars on the team, the boys
work together and usually meet with
success. John Anderson, pitcher for
Shuqualak although retired from
ball playing for several years! has
done the unusul and made his come
back as a pitcher for Shugualak. and
in spite Of the fact that he might be
numbered among the older citizens
Of the county, he pitches one Of the
best lames Of ball that has been
pitched in Macon fro some time. The
Shuqualak boys are all good sports
and played a fair clean game
The Macon team was very much
strengthened during this game bv
