Grandma CONDER Dead.
     Grandma CONDER, who has been in feeble health for several months, took suddenly worse on last Thursday and on Tuesday night, March 21st, her spirit took its flight to the God who gave it.
     Mrs. Mollie CONDER was a native of Tennessee, having been born in that state on July 25, 1839. In 1877 she moved to Hunt county, Texas, where she has since resided.
     The funeral was conducted Wednesday by Rev. T. M. STRIBLING, pastor of the Presbyterian church, of which she was a member, and the body was laid to rest in the City cemetery.
     She was an humble, trusting consistent Christian, having confessed her Savior many years ago, and died triumphant in the faith. Her life is its own best eulogy and her example is worthy of emulation.
     She leaves two sons, William C. and James W. and other relatives and friends to mourn her loss.
     The following out-of-town persons attended the funeral: R. L. CONDER and family, Neda, Texas; Mrs. Dellis ANDREWS, Greenville; Mrs. Sam MCCOWAN, Greenville; Mrs. L. A. WRIGHT, Texarkana.
