Some days ago the MORNING News
published notice of the death of Lucy
Douglas, and an invitation to attend her
funeral at the First African Baptist
Church. .'Old Maum Lucy lived at Mrs.
c. A. LamaTs, at the corner of Haber-
sham and Broughton streets. She was
the nurse of the late Col. c. A. L. Lamar,
OF this city, his children and his grand
children-a faithful old soul, the type OF
a class that is fast passing away. In 4
few wears more the kindly old nurses
whose affections centeTed in the little
ones. and whose love for them was only
surpassed by their mothers, will all have
gone to that undiscovered land from
whose bourne no traveller returns" The
| subioined notice from the MacOn Tele-
| qr0Oh and Messenger of the death of old
Lucy. is a kindly tribute to an humble
but faithful woman:

of another life. But connected with II
Is the history of a life full of sac
rifce. The older families Of Savannah
VIII recall an old negro with a pleasant If sad
face and striking eyes, who might have been
seen any fine morning on the stoop of resi-
dencc on BrOughtOn street. looking after one
or more little faXen- haired children. With
her bright bandanna head gear, a white
neck handkerchief and checked apron, all
faultlessly neat. she was picture of the old
/ nurse of the best of Southern families. And
such had been her life calling. She was the
nurse of the children of Mr.. O.. b.
Lamar, Of Savannah, and her charges,
all save one, met watery grave by the loss
! of the steamer Pulaski many years ago. The
only one saved of that happy brood was her
| especial pet and favorite. and when he laid
| down his life, in the last battle of the war,
/ she was stricken with great sorrow. She
/ remained by the widow and orphans and was
1 regarded rs one Of the family, and to her lat

| ones Of the third generation. At any time

/ the language Of no emancipation prOcla-
/ nation. could shake her fidelity to her trust.
Winter faces have gone to the land beyond. q
| whittier soul never. Her life was a touching
! illustration of the affection between master
and slave in our better days. Her death
/ breaks one of the few links of affection that
| still bind the white and black races of the
/ Soufh together.

A sermon on Temperance Tonight

The attendance on the sermons of the
missionary Fathers, now conducting the
mission at the Cathedral, has been con-
siderably increased during the past few
evenings--sO much so that the spacious
edifice has been taxed to its utmost capa-
city to accommodate those pres ent. While
all of these Fathers have pleasing ad-
dress, it is evident that Father Cook is
the favorite. He will deliver a sermon
tonight on temperance, which will no
doubt have a very large attendance. The
members of st. John the Baptist I. A. b.
Society and st. John the Baptist Cadets
of Temperance will be present in regalia,
as it is at the special request of these so
cieties that the sermon is to be delivered.
Ihe services begin at O'Clock.
