Obituaries.
Died, December 4th, at Bridgewater, Virginia,
SALLIE HANGER, youngest child of j. Gilmer and
MATTE j. MINOR, aged 10 months and days.
He who gave and takes at will,
By whom this light was given,
In perfect wisdom called her hence
To dwell with Him in heaven.

Died, November 18th, in Appomatox Co., Va,
Mrs MARY MARSHALL, in the 74th year of her age.
This another in Israel, after protraced illness,
borne with Christian forttude and resignation has
exchanged her mourning for gladness and left be-
hind her the testimony of fond mother, benevo-
lent neighbor and conscientious member of the
flock of Christ In the early days of her confession
of Christ, having embraced religion when very
young, she had many spiritual conflicts and doubts
but in her more mature experiences especially near
the close of life, she gathered strength for the war
fare, aud when deaths hand was sensibly upon her,
she gave utterance to sentiment which showed that
her triumph through Christ was glorious. How
strange seems, that l, who always feared death,
could be brought to say that l wish to die, for |
feel that death is gain" He, who has swallowed
up death in victory" led her through the deep wa
tiers, and "dying was but going home" May all
her children and grand children, who ever found
their mothers home here delight be prepared to
enter that heavenly abode where all tears shall be
wiped away. j. H. ID.
