On tho 18th day Of January, 1881.
Miss Rebecca Collins, triumphed
over a long and severe attack Of
sickness and suffering. and passed
into the realm awaiting those who
know and do the will of God.
Miss Collins was a daughter OF
the late A. c.. and Louisa Collins;
both of whom died in this place in
July, 1873, of that relentless epidem-
ic, cholera. She was gentle, kind
and affectionate in her disposition;
having a high sense of her duty in
this life, and unfinchingly did it,
and she was well beloved by allthose
who enjoyed the privilege OF being
her friends, and these were many.
Hers was not a mere Negative
charactcr-hence it cannot be said
that all who kneU her were her
friends. She often admitted dur
ing her sickness that she had come
short OF her duty to her Maker,
(who has not;D But we thoroughly
believe that her greatest short
comings were occasioned by, or the
result of the irratibility arising from
disease and suffering and not from
a black heart.
In 1871, she made a public pro-
fession Of religion, and connected
herself with the Baptist Church of
this place, and lived the life of a
follower Of Christ, up to her death,
as nearly as her strong human ma
ture would admit, and just fefore
the brittle thread other life vas cut,
she expressed herself as perfectly
willing to trust the result to, and
rely upon, her all sufficient Savior.
Miss Collins was poor, and had
many difficulties to encounter after
the death of her parents; but she
met them nobly, and nobly over
came them.
Her last days upon earth were so
spent as to leave the assurance to
her friends, that she now rejo.ces
among the throng of redeemed spir-
its who have "passed over the river
before her.

Hammond Dewham.o of J~onesboro,
Tenn, fell in love with a girl and was
about to marry her when his sister
Della, finding her protestations
against the match in vain, gave her
brother some biscuits seasoned with
arsenic, and killed him."
The above bit of news we. clip from
a Michigan paper. IA it is news to
US, of course it will he to others
We are unable to account how such
things get into newspapers, when it
is utterly false. There never lived
in Jonesboro, Tenn, as we remember
any people by hat name, and such
a case as that never happened in this
county in n other family. But
as a general thing newspapers from
abroad seem to know more about home
affairs than those published here at
home.
