JONES'.

To the memory of my little nephew,
Fitzhugh Jones:-Sixteen months ago
there came to us sweet baby boy,
with his bright smiles and soulful
eyes, telling us of the purity and sweet
ness of Heaven. Why must they
come to linger few months and
leave us so soon choked with the Bit
ter tears of our loss? This we cannot
answer, yet do we not feel these little
temporary wanderers from celestial
home come and 60 because of
the great love Of God? To my brother
and sister 1 will say it must be un-
speakable joy to be the parents OF
such a child with the stamp of Heav-
en- on its brow-and to one and all who
loved it, has it not been blessing to
hold it in your arms and care for it, to
gaze fOndly down into the little up
turned face and rejoice in the pure
beauty of its smiles and then to give
1t back to God at His call, with the
thought that it is our little Fitzhugh
in heaven as upon earth? Such love
as this will Sanctify and chasten our
hearts and carry us out beyond time,
giving us hold upon the unseen. To
have our hearts filled with this holy
affection is worth all the sorrow we
now bear.
O.Pure, sweet life, thy fragrance rare.
Still fingers in the silent air,
Like Q voiceless prs yer IL lulls my pain,
| And frozen griefs drop down in vain.
Since baby died.. WV.

ELKIN.

Tried, tested and eminently fitted
for the companionship of saints, the
immortal part of Mrs. Mary Elkin was
separated from the mortal and cor
ruptible part, on Saturday, I, at nine
o'clock, A. NJ. She died as she lived
quietly and peacefully. A splendid
funeral sermon was preached at the
Christian church, on Sunday after
noon, by Elder C. E. Powell, to one
of the largest crowds that ever assem-
bled i'm this city, on such an occasion.
At the Cemetery the floral offering
was profuse, and was fittingly symbol
ical of the purity of the spirit which
had flown from the tabernacle of clay
to the house where there are many
Mansions prepared for the pure in
heart. Her husband, Mr.. Zachariah
Elkin, a man of God, devoted to the
cause of his Master, died twenty-One
years ago. She was in her 73rd year
and had spent her life in trying to
make the world better, and those
about her happy. Although she pos
seSSed the Christian virtues, in high
degree, sacrifice, the leading virtue,
was most perfectly developed: for she
was never SO happy as when trying to
make others happy.
Kind, pure, gentle, forgiving-She
had no harsh words to express con.
corning others, but always had a word
of cheer for the respondent and an ex'
cuse for the Maynard. In the sanctu.
airy of God, around the Preside, in the
social circle and, as leading member
of the Ladies' Aid Society, powerful
church auxiliary, her work will live
after her, and give her large credit
on the ledger of Heaven. These state
ments are not overdrawn, but they art
admitted by all who knew the deceas
ed, to be literally true. Her expires
sion of reproof would always cause TIT
tattler to pause and learn to Speal
well of others. Such souls gravitat'
to God as matter follows line to
ward the center of the earth. Though
she is now in the company of angels
and it would be sinful to wish for he
return to this vale of tears, it is tru
that such noble women have don
more to make the world better thai
all the pulpit orators and printing
presses In existence.
These expressions of praise were no
reserved until her death, as the Gus
tom has it, but they were frequently
spoken of her, during her life, and tn
writer can truthfully say that he new
er heard an unkind word spoken Q
her.
J She was related to some of the larg
est and most influential families Q
the county, and they are God-loving
a GOd-fearing and a God-serving pee
: pie. Her influence on the characte
of those with whom she was intimate
: ly associated, is most beautiful
! shown i'm the life of her three sons

The death of little Francis Lee, in
FAINT daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
F. Denman, cast gloom over the wide
circle of friends Of the child's parents
in this city and county. Mrs. Denman
is the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Alex
West, of Lancaster, and she frequently
visited here, bringing the sweet baby
with her. Francis Lee was beauti-
full child and the pet Of not only the
immediate family, but all their friends
and acquaintance. In her innocence
and purity she has been called to the
better land, and the heart-brOken par
entS can find sweet consolation in the
words of the Savior, who said, "Suf-
fer little children TO come into me,
and forbid them not, for of such is the
kingdom of heaven"
The Nicholasville Journal says: On
Sunday morning, Oct. 1, 1899, at 2
O'Clock, the death angel called and
snatched from the loving arms that
EMBODIED it, Francis Lee, the infant
daughter and only child Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Chas. F. Denman, aged fifteen
months. The little darling had been
ailing sometime, and an abscess form
ing in the head brought on convul.
sions and its attendant evils. All the
loving care and skilled physicians
could not preserve the cherished bud
of promise, and it has been transplant
ed to the Masters garden, there to
unfold in Heavenly beauty. The
funeral services were conducted by
Ed. RObt. G.. Frank and Rev. T. W.
Watts at the family residence, Monday
afternoon at o'clock, the interment
