In Memory Of Miss Fannie Smith.

Almost a year has scared away on it's
weary pinions, since the imprisoned soul
of Miss Fannie has taken its flight to
its celestial home, aud put on the robe
of immortality. Almost a year since
her weary feet ceased to tread this vale
Of tears, since her trembling tender
hand reached out to the loved beyond,
and the heaven, which she craved.
Scarcely q year since she turned and
looked for the last time on the ones she
loved here, and with faltering lips MUIR
INJURED blessings, until fainter and
fainter grew her breath, then, when
the last whisper ceased, her great low
ing eyes caughtu up the dying wish, and
fixed them on visions beyond. Though
only a short time, how long to those
who miss her. How much they need
her. Miss Fannie was a lady of much
culture and mental capacity, with o
nature so tender and soul so deep.
Faults. There are none, who have
them not. She was a volume of infor-
nation to her associates, and sought
the tenderest, truest and best, the same
in joy and in sorrow. She had noble
ambitions and high aspirations, and
bitterly deplored her mistakes in life.
But the browning virtue of her life. was
she believed In the Savior of the world
and trusted in him, in life and death.
She now realizes that pitiful prayer, so
humble, 30 full of meaning, when her
soul was in anguish, "Oh. shall l ever
get to heaven?" Miss Fannie is now
one of those who came up through
great tribulation. After the tempest
and storms of life, after the trials and
griefs, after the sobs and heartaches,
all 10 hushed, and she is resting beyond
the river. What perfect bliss, watch
ing and waiting, reckoning for other
weary ones, who are still on the same
tempestous, reaching heavenward.
What gain for all loss, what recon.
pense for all suffering, happy forever,
associated With loved ones, angels, and
Jesus himself. L. A. B.
February 81, 1895.

Such EXPLANATIONS are called forth
" hen we think OF the score of beau
tiful women who were brought to
gether last Friday evening in response
to the neatly printed invitations from
the young men of Jonesboro, which
read thus: The young men of Jones'
boro at home, Friday evening, February
90, 1895, at the residence of Judge Kirk
patrick, in honor of Miss Evely Dosser,
of Columbus, Ohio. Miss Dosser is of
a beautiful brunette type and on this
occasion looked unusually charming
as did all the other ladies whose bril-
liant attire we would describe but for
inadequacy Of word BETTING to portray
those lovely costumes. Such an array
of beauty and l~ovliness has not been
witnessed in Jonesboro in years before.
Even Providence lent a helping hand
by suiting the weatherfor the occasion.
The young men certainly acquitted
themselves with great honor in every
particular. The refreshments which
consisted of sandwiches, salads, beat
biscuits, coffee, pickles, celery, and
fruits were served after the latest style
by the hospitable hostess, Mrs. Kirk.

daughters, Misses Minnie and Jessie.
The young men can not express the
gratitude which is really due for the
very pleasant entertainment. Those
present were as follows:

Out in the Fourth District, which is

pamphlet of thirteen pages. containing
a historical sketch and directory of the
Second Presbyterian Church of this

first of this year, and contains a brief

interest connected with the church
during that period, which will be found
especially interesting to the members
of that denomination. 1t also contains
a complete directory of the officers Of

1t must certainly be conced-

our minister at Madrid. in
structing him to demand from
the Spanish government
"prompt disavowsl Of the I'M
authorized act, and due ex-
preston Of regret on the part
OF Spain" goes as far as the
circumstances OF the case war

Mr.. Gresham adds to his
demand for PREPARATION the
declaration that this Govern
ment must insist that imme-
date and positive orders be
given 10 Spanish naval COM
manders not to interfere with
legitimate American commerce
passing through that channel.
and prohibiting all acts wan
tonly importing lie and prop
erty lawfully I'm er the flag of

be seen from the foregoing
that the secretary Of state has
not only acted with promptness.
but with vigor and frmness.

ment, but since his return to
