Obituary.

Charlie B. Prewitt was born March l, 1866,
and departed this life Nov. %, 1884, He died
of typhoid fever, was sick for some weeks.
Charlie was one of our incest and cleyerest
young men, no one knew him but loved
him, for he was kind and respectful to all.
He was rather retiring and modest in his
department. He was a member of the
Methodist church but said to me some two
years ago, that he did not know whether he
ought to remain in the church or not, that
he did not know whether he was good
enough to be In the church. said to him,
Charlie, don't give up the church, the
church will help you. He concluded to
to take my advice, and after that went to
GAINESVILLE and went into business with his
brother John. He remained there till taken
sick, he came to his fathers ON the South
side, to die. He thought he would not get
well from the time ne was taken sick. He
said to his brother william, / want to go
home, a short time before he died. VIII
liam said to him you are at home. Yes,
said he, but can't stay here always. Show
lug clearly that he had reference TO his
home in heaven. About midnight he put
his arms around his mothers neck and
smiled, being SO weak he could not speak |;
but telling it more powerfully by signs, that
he WIS almost through the fight and victory
Sas his. Like true soldier charging the
last entertainment of the foe, he sees the
enemy giving way, but wearied and worn
ready to faint, too feeble to shout the vie
tory, but more successfully does he express
1t in his face, with the smile of triumph
that could not be expressed by the shout
that shakes field and forest. This is the way
Charlie met death, with the smile of vic
tory and went home TO await the arrival
of those left behind. May the whole family
meet in heaven. b. NJ. STEPHENS.

to astronomers, as an annular eclipse,
so called from the Latin word Gnnulus,

servable here nor anywhere in the
