MRS MARY E. STARKE DEATH OF MRS. MARY E. STARKE The announcement of the death of Mrs. Mary E. Starke which occured at the Rankin House yesterday afternoon at l:30 o'clock, will be read with regret by her numerous friends this morning. Mrs. Starke was one of the novlest women, and was universally beloved by all who knew her. The gentleness of her disposition and the purity of her character gave her a strong influence for good, which she exerted over all with whom she came in contact. The death of such an excellent lady is a serious loss to any community. Mrs Starke was the daughter of the inmented James Grier, who, before the war, was one of our wealthiest river planters. She was born in Stewart County, GA., in December 1830, and when she grew up to womanhood, was married to Col. John M. Starke. She leaves two children, Mr. John T. Starke and Miss Sallie Starke, who have the sincere sympathy of this entire community in their sad bereavement. The funeral will take place from the Pres- byterian church at l0:30 o'clock this morning.
