OBITUARY,

Died, at the residence OF Col. O. Jones,
near Rock Hill, on the evening OF 3lst ult.,
alter q short illness, ELLEN, the beloved
wife OF Iredell Jones. Esq, at. the sge OF
twsnty.seven years.
Attractive and endearing in her manners,
kind and Christian in character, faithful and
devofsa in her flisl and domestic relations,
patient and uncomplainipR under sickness
ana euffering, her removal has left void in
which 1t will be hard to fill. ts'But we sorrow
not as others who have no hope"
Early in life she had vowed to be Christ's
sorvant and follower unto her life'a end, and
when the hour Of trial came, grace sustained,
and With murmured words OF prayer and
trust in Jesus, she fell asleep accepted in
tho beloved" henceforth, as we humbIy
trust to be numbered with Gods chosen
people in glory everlasting" ''For II we be-
iieve that Jesus died and rose again, even so
them also which sleep in Jesus will God
bring with him." Wherefore comfort one
another with these words" r. P.J.
