Death of a Good Woman.

Mrs. Re5ecca Shelor, relict Of the late
Joseph R. Shelor, died at o'clock ?. NJ.
on the 18th instant, at the residence OF
her son, Mr.. John. W. Shelor, in this
county. Born March 81, 1905, she lacked
but little while of having completed
her s7th year.
For month OF so marked decline of
her bodily powers had been noted, but
at no time confined to her room, and
retaining her native energy and vigor OF
mind she to the day of her death assisted
in the everyday concerns Of the home.
On the day of her death she had dined
with the family, and, as was her custom,
sought the refreshing rest Of sleep. She
appeared to sleep longer than was her
wont. however, and an effort was made to
rouse her, when it was found that life
was extinct She had passed away with
out sigh or struggle.
The measure of her long life was
crowded to the full with good deeds, and
none can be found to say aught against
her. She was never heard to utter a
harsh criticism of any one, and was often
known kindly to rebuke this in others.
She was remarkable for the utter absence
! of extremes in her temperament.
In mature womanhood, August 29,
1850, the date of her marriage with Mr..
Shelor, she took upon herself the care of
family of motherless children, and so
well did she perform this delicate task
that these now ripe with age rise up and
call her blessed. Her home life in all its
relations was ideal in the fullest sense,
and is, therefore, worthy of imitation.
She was a sister of Messrs. D. D. and
L. II. Werner, of Retreat. and Of Mrs.
Jane Stribling, of Richland.
She united with Retreat Presbyterian
church in 1S49 and to the end of her life
uniformly adorAed her profession Of
religion. Only short while ago she
spoke calmly of her departure as:t hand
and signified unmistakably that her house
was in order.
On the goth, after appropriate and
impressive funeral services at the family
residence, conducted by her pastor, the
Rev. Newton Smith, her body, tenderly
borne By her nephews, the Messrs. Strib-
lug. was laid to rest beside that of her
husband in the family burying ground
hard by. W. A. DICKSON.

Through that word thrills untold melody
laughing children; the sound of well

the ripple of meadow brooks, in which
we knee-deep wade; the lowing of the
cattle as they come from the pasture;
the short scythe cutting the thickening
grass; the creaking of the hay-rack when
we trampled down the load. Home!

up like fountain; it thrills like song;
it twinkles like a star; it leaps like a
fame; it glows like sunset; it sings
like an angel; and if some photographer.
urged on by spirit from beneath, should
seek to cast forth that word from our
language, the children would come forth
and hang it with a garland Of flowers;
the wealthy would come forth and cover
it with their diamonds and pearls; kings
would hide it under their thrones and
coronets; and some bright day it would
flash from under the gems, and the word
would read out as brilliant and fair and
beautiful and resonant as before. Home.
