Being away from home after the Watson re-
ception. we failed TO write description OF 1t
for the Press and Banner. However, even at
this late date, We will say that II was inde.
scribably grand In every sense OF the word.
One Of the most striking features Of the occa.
remembered by Mr.. and Mrs. E. w. Watson.
The rich and poor. young and old OF the vlcin-
ityswere alike participants OF the sumptuous
feast, which was q convincing proof that
they did not wish TO overlook any one. We
do not like to be selfish, but we would not
care II Mr.. and Mrs. Watson had dozen, in
stead OF only one son, to favor with such re.
ception, that is, II we were so kindly remem'
bered as we were at this one. We congratu:
late MIR. Livy Watson that he has succeeded
in captivating such q charming young lady
Ora's loss is truly Bradley's gain.
While some houses are being frightened,
others are being darkened. On the night o.
the 18th inst, Mrs. Sloan Morrow was carried
by the death anger from the sorrows o
earth TO the joys Of heaven. A little more
than year ago she was led TO Hymens altar
and to-day she lies within the cold embrace
of the tomb. Truly, Death is no respecter OF
person or age. Mrs. Morrow was most noble
Christian woman, and although her stay
among us was short, she leaves large mum
ber of friends to mourn her loss. The day
for the funeral was dark and stormy, but not
withstanding all that, a large concourse o
relatives and friends assembled at Mt. Morlah
church TO pay their last respect to "al tha,
was left OF her." The funeral services were
conducted by Rev. r. 6. Phillips. We extend
to Mr.. Morrow our most sincere sympathiet
in this his sore affiiction. &.
