SHADY GROVE.

SHADY GROVE, July This morning,
while the earth is parched and vegeta-
ton withered by old SOILS scorching
rays, we will scribble the happenings
of our little lively village for the benefit
of those whom they may happen to
interest.
For the past week there has been a
very interesting meeting at the Dun
lap Church, conducted by Elder J. e.
b. Riley. Large crowds were in at
tendance at each service, notwithstand-
ing the heat. The services closed last
night, having had two additions to the
church.
The sick of our community are i'm
proving, and it is a fact that we have
less illness through this strip of the
county than almost any other locality.
We were quite sorry to learn of the
death of Mrs. b. S. Allen, the mother of
DIR. A. NJ. Allen and Col. JnO. b. Allen,
of Pulaski. Mrs. Allen, whose maiden
name was Damaris Tidwell, was raised
in this county, and for the past ten
years lived here in the village, and no
one had more friends than this
smother in Israel" About year since
! she moved to Giles county, since which
time. AS | understand, she has been
failing. She was a lifelong member
of the NJ. T.. Church and loved dearly to
s'go up to the house of the Lord" and
assemble together with the congrega-
ton.
In the death of Miss Minnie Tate
which occurred last Friday night, at
the residence of her cousin, Mrs. w. j
McEwen, one of the fairest and purest
of earths's flowers was transplan ted tc
the garden of the eternal Eden, tC
bloom in immortality. Dear, sweet
Minnie! So fair, so young to die; bu'
thanks to a risen Christ, we know tha
the tomb only closes over the fair cas-
ket of clay, while the jewel has beer
taken by the Masters hand to b'
placed where it will "shine as The
stars" throughout the ages of Eternity
The remains were carried to Santa FL
to the old home of her childhood, to bt
placed beside father and mother anC
sister, who had preceded her. Mimi,
was member of the Cumberlant
Presbyterian Church, and, although
only twenty-three summers hat
passed over her fair young heart, filled
alike with Joy and sorrow, yet none o
the follies of this old world ever tainted
her pure spirit. Her young sister, Pearl
was with her during the last days 0
her illness; and her brother and famil.
and Miss Evie HARRISON came to b
with her at dissolution. Mrs. McEwel
has been untiring in her efforts t
brighten the last days of the one VIII
passed away like faded flower.
