those who are best informed upon this subject

September next.
The farmers have been very busy in their
crops, laying by their corn and getting out
their wheat for the last few weeks, while the
merchants were wrapped in balmy slumbers,

been all the rage with the big and little boys
since the schools were closed and the hot
days set in.

Mrs. MARY ELIZABETH O'REILLY
| DALE, wife of our fellow citizen w. j.
Dale, died last Tuesday evening, of
heart disease. Her husband and daugh-
ter were SO deeply afflicted by their
loss, that it was deemed best not TO
preach the funeral, as was announced
The procession to the grave was one OF
the largest eyer witnessed in cur town.
Mrs. Dale was daughter of DIR. James
G. O'Reilly, famous physician, and
was born June 9th, 1878. She prOfesSed
religion and Joined the Methodist
Church in 1882 or 1888 and was married
to Mr.. Dale ON the Goth of November,
1884. There is. scarcely family or per-
son in town that does not feel something
of a personal bereavement in the death
of Mrs. Dale
Her personal popularity was fully at
tested by the large procession that fol-
lowed her remains to the grave, We'd
Desday evening. The community has
lost one of its best women. The church,
OF which she was faithful and ener-
getic member SO long, one of its bright>
est ornaments-one who in her daily
walk and conversation exemplified the
beauties and worth of Christianity.
But those who are the most irreparably
bereft are her immediate family, by
whom she was idolized. She was the
life, the joy and the comfort of the home
circle. AS WIG, mOLD0r, n6lRnDOrs
Christian, she had no superior. She was
q noble, pure, good woman in the high
est sense of these terms. But death
lOYes a shining mark. At the close of
long summers day, just as the sun was
sinking in placid quietness behind
bank of clouds that hung cleaning in
the west like a sea of fire, she passed
away, to enter upon that rest prepared
for all the people of God. AS that sun
which went down so quietly rises on
the morrow with augmented glory, SO
will she, in the resurrection morn, rise
again, clothed in the unfading robes of
eternity. In her sickness she was patti
ent and resigned, and spoke many words
of comfort to her weeping family. She
had not shadow of doubt or fear. The
bright morning star never sinks behind
q darkened West, but melts away in
the light of heaven. So the Christian
never dies, but passes away in the light
of Heaven.
When our friends in dust are sleeping,
Never more to wake below,
Let us check our bitter weeping
And appease our sharpest woe.
For as Christ, the King immortal,
Died that death might be his prize,
Rose to break the graves strong portal,
So the dead in Christ shall rise.

sickness at CmIlenka.

We regret to learn that fiux is on the
increase in and around Cullaoka. Two
deaths have occurred within the last
week, Mrs. Jaco, who died Wednesday,
and Mr.. Rough Williams, at Moores-
Vile, on the same day. Mr.. John
Cheatham and Mr.. William Davis are
very low. Mr.. Davis wanted to join
the Methodist Church this week and in
sisted on Rev. J. A. Orman baptizing
him by immersion. Mr.. OrInan consents
ed, but the physician, DR.. Bennett, ad-
vised them not to take him to the creek.
Mr.. Davis then got Tom Stephens to
make a large box to baptize him in. The
box was flied with water by members
of the Baptist AMI Christian Churches,
and non>believers, and he was immers-
ed in it by Mr.. Orman, assisted by E. w.
James and L. M. Stephens. Mr.. Davis
seemed to get better after being baptiz~
ed, but he is still very sick. Mrs. Su-
sannah Love, aged 81, is also very sick,
at the residence OF her son-in-law, w.
L. J. Wilkes. Mr.. and Mrs. A. Nelson
and Esq. A. l.. Prewett, are also sick.
The physicians are riding day and night.
