Mrs. Carrie Elizabeth Hobby,

this llfeat half after l o'clock P. NJ,
on the 9th of November, 1885, aged
80 years, 3 months and % days, af-
ter a long and protracted spell of
typhoid malarial fever, which she
bore with patience and hope
ful of recovery, until relapse or
inflammation of the bowels and con-
gestion, which was more than her
poor frail body and constitution
could overcome. Therefore death
was inevitable. But death had no
sting for her, because she had a
hope and a promise in Jesus, that
sue held more sacred than life
With a pleasant smile that illumi.
mated her countenance, and quick
glance at those around her bedside.
was enough to know that she was
triumphant even in death. She
was a member of the Missionary
Baptist church for number of
years; was a loving and affectionate
wife; kind, devoted mother, and
those that knew her loved her. She
leaves husband and six children
and a large~family circle to lament
her death, and host of friends to
sigh and say, "Peace be unto thee,
gentle Carrie" And may our Heav-
emily Father and the Heavenly host
rejoice to see thy sweet, gentle
spirit coming home to thee.
Grieve not OH gentle spirit,
For the loved ones left behind thee:
For it is Fate, whether soon or late,
That will bring US all near thee.

Died, at bis home on Red River,

25th of November, in the fifteenth
year of his age, Allen Washington
Vance, the oldest son of Capt. w.

His health began to fail some two

weeks life was held by so slender a
tenure that his family were admon-

Calmly and peacefully his young
life went out, and a shadow fell
across the hearts of his parents,
which God alone can dispel. Their
hearts are bowed down, aud are as

Rarely has the Master gathered

an irreparable loss. May God, who
