Miss Howell's Singing.

The following taken from the Rome
(Ga.) Daily Courier, of recent date
will be read with much pleasure by the
friends of Miss Emma Howell in Rus
sellville and elsewhere, as showing that
In addition to her various accomplish
ments and many charms of person and
mind, she is becoming quite famous as
songstress. The Courier says:
A large congregation assembled at
the Baptist church Sunday. The con-
gregation was attracted. partly by the
pastor, and others went to hear the
excellent musical features that we're
to be presented. The worshipers went
away well pleased by the sermon and
solos. Miss Georgia Hills presided at
the organ with her usual superb execu-
ton. The service was opened with a
solo entitled, 20 We Tears" by Miss
Emma Howell. This young lady pos
sesses highly cultivated and an ex-
ceptionallY sweet voice. Miss Howell
seemed at her best, and the audience
listened with rapt attention. The SER
mon by the Rev, X, B. Headden was
from Col. Sd chapter, 1sr verse: elf We
then be risen with Christ seek those
things which are above" The discourse
was grand and eloquently delivered.
The solo by Miss Ida Nevin, sung as
an offertory, was much admired. Miss
Nevin sang apparently without an eff
fort, and her magnificent veice has been
carefully trained. At the conclusion
of the services the audience Joined the
choir and sang with great enthusiasm,
sit is well my SOUL"

IN MEMORIAM.

The dark angel Of death has cross
ed our thresh hold and demanded
the treasure around which clustered
the fondest hopes and most sacred
affections. The little vacant chair,
tue crushed heart, the aching voice,
all bitterly reminds us that our dar
ling sleeps in the long embrace OF
death. and the hearts in whose affec-
tions little EARL had become the
central attraction, bleed in response
to these sad reminders, that his
sweet voice will greet us no more,
his winning ways never again bright
en- our pathway, and that the loved
form OF our dear one Is gone, taking
with it the joy and sunshine which
ever attended his artless innocence.
How Inconsolable this sorrow, how
the bruised hearts would yield to
despair, without the comforting
thought Of a blessed reunion in the
.'sweet by and by" Yet how re-
luctly do we resign our idol, though
a gentle voice is softly whispering;
"Look up stricken ones, your EARL
is only transplanted." Before sin
had marred his purity, an unering
Father plucked this rare and tender
floweret, and has taken it to Himself
where unalloyed the innocent spirit
may dwell, undimed by the sorrow of
earth.
Oh how sad each token that re-
minds us ola word or action Of our
loved and lost darling, how tenderly
we touch them, and silently pause TO
listen for one sweet sound Of an an
gel voice, that does not come; yet as
ne sit in the shadow of this dark
affiiction, we would kiss the rod and
and draw near the hand that applies
the strokes, that they may grow
lighter, saying "Thy will be done"
and though the bleeding heartstrings
are vibrating painfully to the sad
touch of the death angel, "still
small voice" from the "grecn pas
lures beside the stil waters seems
to be waited to the troubled hearts,
and in soft accents whispers "Peace
be STILL" G. Fl

OBITUARY.

Mrs. Mary j. Griffin, wife of j. w.
Griffin was born in Madison county,
Tenn, june 5, 1860, died at her home
in Pope county, Ark, Aug. 9, 1886, age
26 years, months and days. She
professed religion and Joined the Meth
odist church, south, in the year 1873,
in which she lived about one year then
she received letter from the church
and joined the Cumberland Presbyteri-
an church at Dunlap chapel in TENN,
in which she lived until the fall OF 1878.
She then immigrated with her husband
to Pope county, Ark. In March, 1879,
she united with Shiloh congregation of
the C. r. church, in " hich she lived a
consistent member until the day of her
death. Sister Griffin was the mother
OF five children, one of them she saw
buried Just few days before her death.
The writer saw her press the last kiss
to his lifeless lip and as she turned
away she remarked "the separation is
only for while" Scarcely three
weeks had passed until God saw fit to
transplant her into the Garden of Par
disc, where she will bloom with her
dear little boy forever. But soirowing
husband, parents, brothers and sisters
as God has seen fit to take her from the
family remember your loss Is her eter-
nal gain. May you all so live and so
train her four little ones that after
awhile with Mamie and Marion you
may constitute one unbroken family in
Heaven, and may all the, members of
the church that she loved initiate her
example, that our last end may be like
hers, that we may be able to say like
her w han cba xvao asknd by a tram nj IN o.
mother If she was dying, she REPLIED
zone more step and will be over the
river where all will be we'll with me
forever" is the prayer of

In Memory of Mrs. Lula f.

DtuChOulhs
TO the Superintendent of the Baptist
Sabbath school, Russellville, Arkan'
sas:
Your committee to whom was re-
ferred the painful duty of preparing
and presenting a memorial and res
olutions expressive of our sorrow
caused by the death of Mrs. Lula E.
Blackburn, who departed this life on
the 10th day of July, 1886, would
submit the following:
Mrs. Blackburn at the time of hei
death was about twenty six years oil
age. She was married to Mr.. Robt
NJ. Blackburn on the 9th day of Dec.
1883, with whom she lived happily
until her death. She came into oui
midst about five years ago, full Of
life and hope, and most devout
christian. She embraced the chris
tian religion when quite young, and
when she come among us she at once
joined the church, and up to the
very week of her death, entered
heartily into every good word and
work OF the church.
We can understand why the old
die, and we can give some explana
tion why those who are not good and
who never do anything for the bet
tering of the condition of the human
family die. But how can We explain
the death of such a lovely woman as
Mrs. Blackburn. She had just be-
gun life with her husband and God
had blessed their union with Little
Ruth, beautiful child, but oui
Heavenly Father, with but little
warning called her home.
We do not complain, for we know
that in the far of future this as well
az all of the mysteries of providence
will be explained, and as she often
sung in the church,
sit will be well with the SOUP
And the beautiful lines of Smith ex-
press our feelings in contemplating
the death OF our sister:
'sSister thou vast mild and lovely,
Gentle US the summer breeze,
Pleasant as the air. of evening,
When 1t floats among the trees.
Peaceful be thy silent sluinber.
Peaceful in the grave SO low;
Thou no more will join our number,
Thou no more our song shalt know.
Yet again we hope to meet thee,
When the day of life Is fled;
Then in heaven with JOY to greet thee,
Where no farewell tear Is she'd"
Yes, those OF us who are faithful
will meet our sister in the beautifuI
land where God will wipe away all
tears, where there shall be no more
death, no more parting Of friends,
and will gather on the banks OF the
beautiful river close by the throne
of God" And who knows but that
when we Thus meet that our sister
shall not with heavenly harp tuned
BY the touch Of an angels finger play
and sing that beautiful hymn that
she loved 50 much to sing while
living,
at Is well with my soul"
In consideration Of the high ap
probation Of the character Of our
sister, we offer the following:
l. Resolved, That in the death OF
sister Blackburn, this school has lost
one OF It's most efficient teachers and
the church one Of its most deyout and
exemplary members.
H. Resolved, That we tender TO
