DEATHS.

TURNER-Died at the home of her
parents in Chesterfield County, Va ,
Thursday night, August 29th, Miss
Mary Ann Turner, in the Goth year of
her age. She was sick only a short
while. Just before passing over the
Jordon of death she called her mother
to the bedside and asked could she
give up her oldest daughter. "Well,
mother" she said. "You must give me
up, for 1 am going home to rest" And
with that calmness of spirit which al
ways a true christian possesses, she
passed from her earthly pilgrimage
to better world on high.
The deceased was a member of
Spring Greek Baptist Church for near
ly eight years. She was a consistent
Christian, beloved by all who knew
her. Many friends, both white and
colored turned out to pay the last tri-
butte of respect to her memory.
A darling one from us is gone,
a loving voice is stilled;
A vacancy is in our home,
Which never will be filled.
Dearest sister thou hast left us,
Our loss we must endure;
For thine everlasting rest was gained
By thy absence here below.
