OBITUARY.

DIED.-On the morning OF the lDtil
of Apfil, 1871, Miss ALICE, daughter
Of Sir. and Mrs. William l.. Hartsell,
90 Big Lick, Va, formerly of Bristol,
Tenn. Alice was Just budding into
womanhood was the idol of the iaml-
~ circle. Our loved one has faded
rom our sight, and left a vacuum
Which none can fiji.
Bat. dear friends, let Us not sorrow
too deeply over our loved one. Our
beautiful flower has only been trans
I,lanted into a more fertile soil, and a
itile genial cline. 1t has only lad
aside its mortality for the robes OF inn
mortality, and is now blooming IN
tlat GLORIOUS world where sickness,
main, nor dta th can never enter. ieI
aun is not set. but like the beautiful
morning star, has only melted away
into the light of heaven.
Alice remembered her Creator IN
the days of her youth, end followed
her Savior into the liquid grave. She,
"a, we'll rs her parents ana an only SIS
a.. were members of the Bristol Bap-
li-t Church. She had been alling for
.ereral days. bat nothing serious until
"a lew hours before her death. SoTEc
two weeks before her death she tolu
her parents that she would soon leave
tlrm, SO it was not unexpected TO her.
This is the third death of the young
lliie, Of the Bristol Church with n the
lu,t eight months. First, E1ittie, then
Mamie, and now Alice, what lovely
little group on the other shore. May
th.s Ice "a warning to US who survive,
mat when that hour shall come TO us
NAV wa be also ready. And this
should console us that, although they
cannot come to u, yet we can so to
them.

Intelligent people of the Virginia Com

Progress whatever towards becominga

upinion, there is none. There may be
a few doing what we might say tolc-
r,bly well, But If there bc such they
seem to keep it all themselves. There
are four million or more of the cOlGred

per cent are doing no good
This may be very unwise estima-

l. very small number that are doing
ANY good. Say nine per cent of the
four m Hons. When We see SO many
OF our race going &C. destruction, would
il not be proper for us to tell them
For instance let Us examine this fact
