this conntvj and was brongbt to this
place and buried in the MeUiodist cem
etery by the side of b^r mother at her
own request. The burial services were

I Bondcnbaroer, Julia Hanuond, Thco^

I leaves a husband and sis little children
i to qioura her loss. It was very sad to
I see the husband and children take the
j last look at wife and .mother and bear
! the children cry out as the pallbearers
started with the corpse, "do n&t tako j
mother from us." Mrb. Williamson was {
an excellent woman. Nature did much'
for her and she did much for herself. |
She was educated at Kerncrsvillc High |
School The qualities of her heart i
and mind were of a high order and she
cultivated them with great dilligcncc.
She was intelligent, cultivated and re
fined and stood in the front rank of her
sex ip thiscoounuhity. Gentle, nindoM
and retiring in her manners. S!ie com
mntided the respect and e.<f«*ciii of nil
who knew her. Her aniabilify found
its way to general favor and i^lie lived
in the confidence and affection of
largo circle of friendti, while tihc re
mained with us and we understand
that ill Moebsville she.was e«|ually
appreciated. She sought no notoriety
and made DO display, but made hei
impression on the society in which she
lived and on the life and character of
her little children who will rise np. and
rail her blessed. They canmu, althougl
youtig. forget her beautiful and serene
life, or fAl to remember her many vir
tues. The duties of life were performcf
with great fidelity and to the profit am
plcmiure of all As wife, mother, friend
her memory is precious. She was
' consistent member of the Baptis
Church and lived in daily communio4
with God.
Her piety was not an accidental
! thing. But wk the rule of 'her life,
• she was faithful to her church and to
^ all her religious obligations. She
was ready to go to a better world, and
^ desired to remain here only to assot
i! her husband in rabing and educating
k
their ebildren. To a friend she said
only a few days before she left for
MocksvlUe that her only desire was lb
raise her children in good seciety and
give them a good practical education;
and that abe was willing to make any
11 sacrifice to aeeomplish it. She b now

Peter Jones
A little negro boy reported to the
citizens of this place early Wednes*
day morning that he tind found Peter
Jones, colored, lying dead in the
back of Mr. Kpb Galther*fi garden.
Upon investigation the report was
verified. In a path running through
the garden lay Peter as though he had
fallen asleep with his bands folded
across bis breast and as staigbt as if
carefully laid out. Beside him lay a
bag of com, in the ear. and some ten
feet above him sat another bag of
com against a tree.
^ It ia evident he had been on a corn
expedition to Mr. Gaither*a crib and
overloaded himself, necessitating two
trips, and was stricken.down as he
quietly moved homeward, having Just
passed his first turn. No sign of
struggle or foulplay could be found
and as he was known to be afiHicted
witli heart disease, it is supposed the
fatal attack was received as above
stated. No inquest was held over
him as the necessary affidavit was
not made. The body was removed
to a bouse where it was examined,
but no trace of violence could be
found.
