ElktOn.

Since my last letter grim death
has visited our community and
borne away another soul to the
eternal beyond. Col. E, w. Grigsby,
one ofour oldest and most influential
citizens, died at his home on
Wednesday night, 28th inst, about
| 8 o'clock p. IN. His funeral was
preached by Rev. w. L. Rowland
on Thursday evening and his re
mains were inferred Friday in the
old family graveyard on his farm in
North Alabama. Col. Grigsby was
about 70 years Of age and has been
a member of this community and
the NJ. Z. Church here for a long
time. He had been quite feeble for
some time, but there weren no serious
apprehensions of his dying so soon.
He leaves quite a number of chill
dren, grand children, friends and
relatives to mourn his loss. We
fear that the death of this aged
father has left vacuum in our
community that time can never I'LL.
The remains of Mrs. Fanny Dillin,
who died recently at Smyrna, Tenn,
were inferred Thursday in the old
family graveyard near John G. Pat.
terson's. Misses Willie Freeman
and Lou Hill, two of Pleasant
Plains brightest stars, spent part

day from Christmas visit to Mr..

standing the mud and rain, the
oyster supper at Bethany was well
attended and handsome sum was
raised for the benefit of the new
parsonage. Jack Annette is the
happy recipient of fine Christmas
present-about 8 pounds of mascu-
| Unity. Mr.. John Lewter and Miss
Alice Whit were united in marriage
at the residence OF the brides father,
Mr.. Ephraim Whit, on last Thurs
day evening. May their future be
bright and prosperous. Will Griffis,
son of A. =. Grif1is of this place,
arrived here from the west on
Wednesday, 2Sth. John Stone with
his family left for Texas Thursday.
Lafayette Matlock has moved to
Lincoln, where he will engage in
blacksmithing Hollis wishes to
swap his mule for 1925 horse; if
the horse is worth $3.50 it will not
prevent the trading. Hollis can
borrow a nickel from Dick Baugh
and pay the difference. On last
Thursday night quite number Of
guests were invited to participate,
as we thought, in a social entertain.
ment at the residence of A. G.. Ezell.
We had all scarcely assembled, how
ever, before we found that the meet
ing would prove to be a delightful
wedding occasion. About half past
6 O'Clock DIR. A. +. Ezell and Miss
Pattie Ezell presented themselves
at the hymenial alter as candidates
for matrimony. Rev. w. L. Row
land stood before them and in a
solemn and impressive manner tied
the silken knot which henceforth
binds their destinies together. The
bride is a beautiful, unassuming
young woman and excites the ad
miration of all who meet her. The
groom is handsome young gentle
man, just entering the medical ranks
with bright anticipation Of a sue
cessful future.
May fortune e'er bsfriend them,
And all its pleasure lend;
| Heavens blessings attend them
Unto their Journeys end.
Quite a number Of guests were
invited to an entertainment at Capt.
w. j. Ridgway's on Friday night,
which proved to be splendid
oyster supper. Drs. A. I. Ezell and
George Hunter left Hopday to re
sumo their studies at the Wander
bilt. They will return in about
two months with their diplomas,
then we may expect another pleas
ant surprize wedding. The prob
abilities are that DR.. Ezell will re-
turn sooner, as he did not carry his
bride with him. SCRTBBLEB.
