From kaOiIn.

Ed. Register-After four months absence,
l resume my correspondence from this place.
Immediately after my school closed at Pine
Grove l returned home and found that some
of the people of this valley were afflicted
with measles, but at the present time most
of the patients have recovered their former
health.
Our distinguished Belleview correspon-
dent has lately purchased splendid double
barreled shot-gun. He assures us that he
will turn some of his attention toward hunt
ing when his school closes at Cedar GROVE.
His school at this place is progressing finely
and has a goodly attendance. We suggest
that the directors of that school made wise
choice in choosing Mr.. j. G. 81. for their in.
structor.
Our last information from Pine Grove was
that the people of that place were still en-
gagged in hunting for deer. There have been
several of these quadrupeds killed there in
the last month or two, both by the Pine
Grovians and other persons who had visited
that place on venary expeditions.
The past week has been characterized by
beautiful weather-the warmest that l ev-
er witnessed in the month of December;
yet we all are satisfied that we will soon have
snow and byemal weather.
Messrs. A. s., h. and G. W. Holbrook and
family, of Pine Grove, will soon immigrate
to the state of Indiana, where they will spend
and happily spent in their new homes, is the
writer's felicitation to them.
OBITUARY.
A bright and shining light that was once
as pure as the morning dew has now just
vanished over the shores of mortality to
felicity to shine forever in a brighter and
glorious world that is unknown to us. The
golden bowl is broken. Death has deprived
us of one of our most venerable friends
Mrs. Susan F. Williams is no more. She
was born in the State of Tennessee, Novem-
Der 3Oth, 1920; in 1910 united in marriage to
Rev. }. c. Williams, an eminent minister of
the gospel who now survives her: and died
December Sth, 1888. The subject of this
sketch had been a consistent member of the
Methodist Church, South, for about forty
six years at the time of her death-strictly

works, and we now judge from the ways in
which she lived in this world, that her soul
is row resting in the bosom of God. Her
funeral sermon was held In the Methodist
Church at Caledonia, by Rey. j. FL. Headlee;
after, which her body was deposited in the
Methodist cemetery of that place. The
friends and relatives of this dear one, who
are scattered over the wide limits of the
land, will all be sorry to learn her demise.
We give them our sympathy in their sad be.
reavement. Alas, we all must soon follow
her foot-steps-all must drink that cup of
woe, death; and now, o that God would
take the helmet of salvation and sword of
the spirit, which is the Word Of God, and
pierce our frail hearts and cause us to be
better Christian men and women, that we
may have the desired pleasure of meeting
this departed one some day, in that beauti-
full world where eyes hath not seen, nor
ears heard, neither hath entered into the
hearts of man, the good things God hath
prepared for them that love Him.
