Mrs. Mamie Carter Burned To
uNIIIa ~ EA
Death In Charlottesville home,
CHARLOTTESVILLE TID-BITS
By Beulah C. Coles, 3o7 w. Main St.

Amid joy, Old Man Gloom usually
steps in. 1t was most shocking news,
last Thursday, when word came that
Mrs. Mamie Sacre Carter had been
seriously burned by the explosion of
a stove and the home burnt to ashes.
This happened at Hickory Hill, Va.
She succumbed to her injuries on
Friday A. M. Probably some of you
will know her better as the mother
of EmImit Sacre. His children were
in the house at the time, but were
fortunately saved by Mr.. Carter. 1t
is a most pathetic and sad occurrence
and any clothes or selections to the
survivors vii be gladly accepted by
Mr.. and Mrs. Sacre. Even word
of cheer viii help them in these sad
hours, when a friendly clasp of the
hand or a word of consolation means
so much. The funeral services of
Mrs. Carter were held from the
Hickory Hill Baptist Church, Sun
day, January 26th, at 2 P. NJ, with
Rev. 1. A. J. Kennedy officiating.
Everything seems to be quiet down
in Denmark and the weather has
been so bad, that home and at work
has been my main dwelling place.
On last Tuesday night, Mrs. l.. N.
Burns entertained the $500 Club"
at her residence on 9th ST., S. W.
Although the weather was inclement,
the club members responded in full
numbers, and we played 500 like
twas 'nobody's business" DR.. w.
B. Dabney was the dark horse" as
he came in rather late and started
bidding higher and higher. Even ran
Mrs. j. Barbour and myself away
from table one after we had been
comfortably seated for several
hands. Anyway he received the mems
club prize, and Mrs. Dabney re-
ceived the ladies' club prize. Wonder
if they talked it over before they left
home? The other participants in the
game were Miss Ella Banks, DR.. and
Mrs. G. F. Johnson, Mr.. and Mrs.
Compton Tonsler, Mr.. and Mrs. Ed
ward Henderson, Mr.. and Mrs. Aston
Barbour, Mr.. and Mrs. Earnest Allen,
Mrs. Rosa Faggans, Mrs. Constance
Ragland and Mrs. Docia Johnson. We
were served chicken salad, and olive
sandwiches, and hot tea, which was
delicious. Mr.. and Mrs. Burns made
a lovely host and hostess. Oh yeah!
The Orange Blossom was timely and
enjoyable.
The "Whoopee Party" at Miss So
and Sos house, last Thursday, was
all in the word of gaiety. Since | am
writing about it | must have been
there. R. P. missed the right house
and went next door, walked in and
made himself 2t home, until the sur
caused him to make his de-
parture, but Mrs. B. P. saw that he
walked in the right home place after
everything was over and R. P. wasn't
drinking either. Well the main game
consisted of dominoes. r. G. came in
with that whoopee laugh that she is
so Familiarity known by. Mr.. & Mrs.
W. really enjoyed themselves, but
Mr. & Mrs. ]. were somewhat quiet.
Miss A. j. stepped out, had plenty |
rouge on. Mr.. and Mrs. B. were
the life Of the party, as usual, while
Mr.. M. was rather demure, think he |
mad his eye on a certain young lady
that was there. Oh yes, and Madames
S. and c.. came in together and left
together, wonder if their husbands
were together also? Mr.. and Mrs.
B. were there in full and I never
sow so many shot dogs" disappear in
all my life. Wonder if we all forgot
% eat before we left home? There
vas a certain very little lady that
specialized in the "Breaw-a-way,"
hat nearly put her partner out of
