Our community was severel
shocked on last Monday night, Jul.
31st, by that unwelcome visitor
death, which claimed for its victim
Mrs. E. w. Holly. This good lad,
has been a resident of this commu
nifty for about three years, in whicI
time she has made many friends b,
her good traits and genial DISPOSE
tion. She was very devotedly at
tached to her husband and children
who seemed to absorb her whole
time. She was in the true meaning
of the word devoted wife and kline
mother, and many viii be the heart.
that will ache when the sad news i.
waited to their ears. She had never
connected herself with any church
but she was a lady of the highest
moral character and had all the at
tributes essential to make a goo6
woman. She gave evidences before
she departed this life that she had
made peace with her God and be
came perfectly resigned to her fate,
and bore her sickness, which was Of
very serious nature, and breathed
her last in perfect calm. The be-
reaved husband and motherles chill
dren have our sincere sympathy.
May he be ready when he will have
closed this earthly career, to meet
her on that bright shore where there
is no more parting, and sorrows and
troubles never come; then we would
say to him:
Let your sorrows cease to flow,
God has recalled his own;
But let pour heart in every woe
Be able to say, "Thy will be DONE"
Miss Mamie Gordon, one of
Brick Church's fairest bellies, is now
the guest of the Lynnvillites- having
gone there last Friday to remain I'M
til after the reunion next Wednes-
day. We presume that it will be a
grand occasion, as it will be cele-
brating the anniversary Of Uncle
Johnnie Gordon, who is in his S5th
or Seth year, and is one of the. pi-

markably good health and is one of
the most generous men we have
ever met, and true and good mem

Mrs. Ham, Mrs. Hardy and
Miss Willie Jones Hardy are visit

tracted meeting which commenced
there last Saturday and was well
attended Sunday by the people of
Brick Church. After a splendid
sermon by Rev. j. B. Anderson,
everybody repaired to grove near
the church and partook of a sump-
tuous dinner prepared by the good
and generous people of Diana. AT
ter dinner they all returned to the
church and had the pleasure of lis
tening to an excellent sermon by
Rev. A. NJ. Ezell.
We were very much surprised
by the marriage of Mr.. John Oliver,
