 Thursday, Oct. 10th, at 6 D. m Mrs. Burks, wife of Capt. c. L. Burks, departed this life after painful illness of long duration. All that loving hands could do or that the skill of expert physicians could suggest were employed for her relief, but the ravages of dis ease were too severe to be arrest ed. The fortitude and patience with. h..which she bore her affilction fully exemplitied her humility and christian virtues. She vas great ly beloved by large circle of rel atives and friends, was the central figure of an ideal southern home, and the place made vacant by her death can never be filled. That such home should be thus broken mp seems pity. The entire com mnnity greatly sympathizes with the family and tenders sincerest consolation. Her remains were laid to rest at tho New Cemetery with appropriate ceremonies.

Not a murmur of Gods dispensation was ever know ! to pass her lips. She bad long been child of the covenant, having united with the Cumber- land Presbyterian Church in early life. Her piety was of il quiet, in- obtrusive k ad. h"r ear WIS ever open to the cry of want and her hand to respond generously of the abundance which God had blessed her. In her domestic and social relations her geniality, kindness and honesty of purpose won for her the deepest respect and love. In her home life all the excellen- ces of her character shone forth to make home haven of rest and beauty to her loved ones. Modest, retiring and unassuming she pos sessed that subtle charm that draws one insensibly with the feeling of intrinsic worth, and beauty of character. Now that
