In the death of Mr.. Elijah Kelly,
last week rrd Mr.. John Y. Fitchett,
who died some weeks ago, lie com
munity loses two of its Oldest citizens.
These LII. were the peers of any, in
hon ,sty, purity of character and in
all those noble Qualities that go to
make the good citizen, patriot and
gentleman. They were each poses
ed OF more than ordinary intelligt nee
and looked at events from q breadth
of view, denied to the average { It'll
zen of their day and time. The one,
MIR. Fitchett, was long member Of
the Baptist Church. and in life and
conduct, was n fitting exemplar Of q
noble faith, that works alike, for the
upbuilding of hot h man and country
the other. Mr.. Kelly, was asso lii ted
with church. The horizon OF his
faith was not bounded by any ere ed
Il was as boundless as the universe
itself. He picked the crumbs Of
comfort from every faith, ard the
seeds of righteousness from every
book; he culle1 the flowers of hope
from every cline, and rested secure
in the faith of Gods might and In
finite justice. He WAS b ,l;ever il
The universal brotherhood of man
End his charity extended to every
man and to every land ctnopied by
Gods blue Heavens. He worshippec
his Gcd in temples not made by
hands, but in the fields amid the
waving grain and il the dark. deer
solitudes of the forest. he communeC
with his Maker. Despising the con
yentionalitics OF men and of the times
in which he lived he squared his con
duct and life, by his own kear
perception of right and wrong. Ir
the lives of these two men, theil
children have just cause to rel 'i' {
and proud, and in their example
as citizens, our community might
well prosper. grow great and be wise
Peace to their eshes.
