DEATH OF MRS. SUSAN H.
| BELL
In our last issue we noted the
accidental falling of Mrs. Susan H.
Bell, on the icy pavement last Sat
urday week. Though rendered
helpless, it was thought for two or
three days that she would recover
from the injuries, but from a cold
contracted at that time, united
with he injuries sustained, possibly
internal, a severe case of tympan-
titles was developed that resulted in
death last night. Her maiden
name was Susan Hoffecker. She
was born and grew up near Smyr-
ma. Some years after reaching
maturity she married John S. Bell,
who died about twenty-five years
ago at Dover, while filling the Of
fee of Justice of the Peace. She
leaves but one child, Reese ]. Bell,
of Wilmington. The remains will
be inferred on Friday afternoon, at
Glenwood Cemetery.

M. PRICE AND MISS JENNIE

The M. E. Church was the scene
this afternoon of a brilliant we'd
ding, the bride being Miss Jennie
Cairl Smithers and the groom
Lewis M. Price. The church had
been handsomely trimmed for the
occasion by the friends of the con-
trcting parties and looked very
beautiful in its array of evergreen,
among which were the bright red
of the holly berries and the beauti-
full and varied colors of genariums,
begonias and other pot flowers. A
rustic gate surmounted by an ever
green arch spanned the center
aisle while at the altar there was
another arch beautifully decorated
from the center of which hung the
traditional horse shoe. A large
