A Type Of Southern Women.

We clip from the Christian Advocate
the following beautiful tribute to Mrs.
W. E. Colyar by her father in-law,
Col. A. S. Colyar and read by DR.. D.
c. Kelley at her funeral. Such gems
of thought do not spring from grosser
minds-they crystalize only in the
clear fountains of the cultivated
and refined intellect. 1t is no
doubt as true as it is beautiful, and we
publish it as just estimate Of the true
women of the South, whose mission is
HeIu 10 pe the guardian angel of
the home-the empire of all that is
good, great and noble. And as,
"There is no place like home"
so there is no mission like woman's:
This note will convey to you all |
wish to say about our great afflction.
Carrie came into our household a
few short years ago, a beautiful young
BRIDE. She brought to our home the
joy and brightness of a new day. In
the obligation of that sacred relation
she was the most loving wife, the most
devoted daughter, and the most affec-
tionate sister. Every day of her life,
until disease preyed upon her, she
made home happy.
"She was the most beautiful of wo-
men; and yet the charms of beauty
were lost in the higher qualities
heart full of charity, life full of good
deeds, and christian faith as strong
as it was simple, which carried her tri.
umphantly to the end.
"Such character-such a life
point to immortality. A. S. c."

To give a note with promise to pay
is very proper between individuals, hut
for a great government to issue money
with promise to pay it in other money
is more like children than men, especi-

the people and is used for the benefit
of the people. If the government is

control at will.
There is neither gold nor silver in
