 These were denied the brave, manly young
 man, and in the beauty of youth he was
 called away. But as William Cullen Bry-
 ant beautifully said in his "Naiting by
 the Gate,' "With neither dread
 or longing to depart I stand and
 calmly wait till the hinges turn for me-"
 so Edward Beard stood, knowing that
 when the hinges did turn for him they
 would throw open wide the very gates of Heaven!
 To his entire family the sympathy of the
 community goes out, and to his father and
 mother, Rev. Dr. and Mrs. Beard, who have spoken words of comfort to so many
 souls overwhelmed with sorrow, the love
 and sympathy of all our people, regardless

A dance was given last evening at Lake, view pavilion by the "Can't Get Away' young gentlemen to the sStay at Homen young ladies, as one of the popular young oeaux expressed it. And we all know this description includes nearly all the bellies | and beaux of our town, for our people have not been given to touring much these | times.

There is charming party of peo- I pie up there from various parts Of the l south, and Birmingham Is splendidly rep | resented.

 relatives and friends was laid to rest 1ues- | day morning in our city of the dead. In
 all the relations of life she was loyal, gen.
 and brave heart. she made the world
 brighter and sweeter by her living. She | met the requirements of life as became | Christian, and she faltered not in the dis | charge of every duty. She was tenderly | beloved by all who came within the sunny
 charm of her character and her life. Those l who witnessed her daily living esteemed l her as one of the best and truest of our
 many good, true women, and 10 her bus- l band children ,brothe and sisters, who now
 are covered by the shadow of their terrible
 loss, the sympathy of hundreds of friends
 is extended. As one who appreciated her | character and her heart and who esteemed
 her noble virtues aud her heroic life, and
 loved her for them all, desire to add my l sympathy to that of other friends.
 Miss Beuna Vista McCants, who has been
 visiting the Misses Jordan, returns to Tus-
 kaloosa after a most delightful sojourn
 here. She was the recipient of much and
 constant attention, and left behind her
 many aching hearts.
