terry on Friday.
Mrs. Plots was born on the 18th of
June, 1916. at Galveston, Texas. Her
maiden name was Slaven, and she was
married to Lieut.. Plots, of the U. s.
Navy, at New Orleans on the 23d of
July, 1864. She lived at New Orleans
till the close of the war, when she went
with her husband to New York and
thence to Williamsport, Pa. After a
short time Lieut.. Plots was ordered
to League Island, where they spent
four years, and returned to Williams
port. In 1872 they came to Mobiles
ccuaty, where they have resided ever
since, part OF the time on Il farm in
Elk township.
Mrs. Plots leaves seven children,
Two or them quite young.
Mrs. Plots having been among tho
earliest settlers, and noted for her
kindness of heart and charitable dis
position, was widely and favorably
known in this and surrounding coun-
ties, and it is difficult to convey an i'm
preston OF the profound shock which
the community felt at her sudden
death.
To her friends and neighbors she
was known and loved fer her excep-
tionally amiable qualities, her cheer
full and kindly disposition and her
readiness to assist the afflicted. To
the general public she was known as q
remarkable clairvoyant and spirit me-
dium. From child she had what the
Scotch call ''second sight," and for
years she was not aware that others or
that all did not possess the same gift.
During the later years of her life she
lived, or believed that she lived, in con.
slant communication with those who
had gone before. Mrs. p. was brought
up in the Catholic church aud prayed
earnestly to be delivered from the gift
or the presence of what seemed to be
the spirits of the departed, if, as many
teach, it was wrong to hold such COM
munion. Her prayers were answered
by steady growth and development
OF the remarkable power.

Whom we, that have not seen thy face,
BY Faith, and Faith alone, embrace.
Believing, where we cannot PROVE
Thine are those orbs of light and shade,
Thou madest life in man and brute;
Thou madest Death; and 10, thy foot
Is on the skull which thou hast made.
Thou wilt not leave us in the dust;
Thou madest man, he knows not why;
He thinks lie WAS not made to die
And thou hast made him: thou art tust.''

Should still be near US at our side?
Is there no baseness we would hide?
No inner vileness that we dread?"

We watch, like God, the rolling hours
With larger other eyes than ours,

To the bereaved husband we can on

MAY all love,
Hi' love, unseen but felt, o'ershadow thee.
The love of all thy SONS encompass thee,
The love Of all thy daughters cherish thee,
The love of i'll this people comfort thee,
Till Gods love set thee at her side again.
