A Promising Young Life Gene Cut.
Life is uncertain and death is IS
ce, tain as life is uncertain. Lie is
like beautiful flower: yesterday it
was tender bud full of bright prom
ises, today it is full blows, shedding
the richness of its perfume for the
pleasure and happiness OF all, and
tomorrow it fades, withers and dies
and it's dead petals are scattered by
the four winds Of heaven. A sacred
writer once said that in the midst of
life we are in death and we are daily
reminded Of the truth of thi5 when
the cola and unfeeling hand Of death
is laid upon the form of some loved
one and claims it as its victim From
nearly every home there is some va,
cant chair; some loved voice is hushed
and we mourn for the presence OF one
who was, but is now no more.
Such has been the experience OF
US all and such is the experience OF
our friend and "fellow workman,
Mr.. J. Frank Kaiser, whose home
has been invaded by the cruel pres
erce of death, and robbed the homa
circle of one Of its priceless Jewels.
Miss Linda Caolula Kaiser was
born October 8, 1872, and died June
2, 1898. In early life she gave every
evidence of brilliant and useful ca
reer. To her life was a beautiful
field in which there was something
for each hand to do, some work for
each one to perform, and with this
idea firmly impressed upon her, she
diligently set about to prepare her
self for the conscientious discharge
of those duties which fell in her way
in thu journey of life. Each shining
moment was improved and each golden
opportunity was seized ard It lied
in furtherance Of this object. After
attending the schools about her child
hood home, she entered Castor Col
lege at Dallas, n. c., FROM which she
would have graduated this month.
But fate had 9ecreed otherwise and
with her the lamp Of lie was burn
ing low and the slender threads
which knitted soul and body together
were riven assunder and the pure un-
su!lied soul Of the sweet young wo
man was relieved from its earthly
tabernacle and winged its ever!ast
ing flight to that mansion not made
with bands eternal in the heavens
Just FIVE weeks before she would
have left the doors of her alma ma
ter fitted to grapple with the stern
realities of life, she was stricken
with that dread disease, typhoid
fever, but through the lingering ILL.,
ness which followed she bore her suf-
fering with Christian fortitude and
patience and the end found Ler not
unprepared to boldly enter the dark
valley Of the shadow Ct death for the
LOVING and gentle Shepherd led the
way crying ''fol!ow me"
Her remains were inferred at St.
DAvid's $, near the home of her parents,
in the presence Ct numerous rela-
tives and friends who had gathered
to pay the last sad tokens of respect
to the memory Of the departed loved
one. Her pastor, the Rev. r. +.
L vingstone, conducted the funeral
services, and he was assisted by the
Rev. + L. Lybrard Of Brockland,
