DEATHS HARVEST.

Mrs. ]. J. Fleming, nee Coffee, was
born.near Southport, Maury County:
was married in early girlhood to w.
I. Gilbreath, who died in a few
wears, leaving her with one son, who !
now lives in Lawrenceburg; she af-
forwards married ]. j. Fleming, of
the Campbell's Station neighbor-
hood, by whom she had two chill
dren - Minnie and Luther = the
former dying in young maidenhood,
five years ago; she moved from her
pretty home on the MoOresville
pike several years ago to Columbia,
to be near her husband in his mer-
camille business, and died early Sat
urday morning, May 8, of heart
trouble. Such is the outline OF a
life that cannot be portrayed in this
brief sketch. Always kind, sympa-
thetic and gentle, Mrs. Fleming's
was life that was felt for good
more in the home circle than else
where. Truly a good woman is
gone. A home is bereft of its bright
est light and its most potent int1u-
ence for good. A husband is left
without a companion, and a son
without mothers presence and
COUNSEL yet she is not dead-she
sleepeth; and on the morning of the
resurrection will greet them again.
May God comfort the Borrowing
hearts, and enable them to follow
her as she followed Christ. The

o'clock, Saturday, by her pastor
