her on earth and which fitted her TO
enjoy the blessings of the faithful at
the right hand of God. The deceased
left husband, two little children
and many relations and friends to
mourn her death. To these does the
heart of our people go out in kindest
coincidence.
With feelings of deepest regret
Camille is called upon to chronicle
the death of Mrs. Jno. Giles, which
occurred on the morning of the 9th
inst. Mrs. Giles has for many
months been in quite delicate health
but no serious fears were entertained
III regard to her condition until few
weeks ago, when she was stricken
with typhoid fever Since that time
she has been slowly sinking, and on
Sunday morning last her spirit qui-
city took its flight TO the God who
gave it. Thus has passed away an
other pure woman, whose life was
made up OF good deeds and whose
death will bea rich harvest of eter-
nal happiness. She leaves a fond
husband and Il devoted little son, be-
sides many dear friends and relatives
to all of whom Camille would extend
hand of kindest sympathy.
1t is the sad duty of Camille TO
note third death which occurred
on last Wednesday night in the per-
sun of Mrs. L. II. Stephens. Mrs.
Stephens was an old lady and had
been very i'll for several months, and
while her death was not unexpected
yet it has bowed down the hearts of
this entire community who knew
and loved Mrs. Stephens for her no.
BILE qualities. The deceased was the
mother Of our worthy citizen, ESQ.
j. I. Coleman, her only surviving
son, and to him her lus a d. grand
children and friends, the people OF
this vicinity extend their heartfelt
coincidence. Truly an the midst OF
life we are i'll death as there have
been three deaths in this immediate
neighborhood within the last week.
