DEATHS HARVEST.


Our community was shocked and
grieved last Friday morning by the
intelligence of the sudden death
of Mrs. w. w. Cherry, which
occurred the night before at her
home in this city. Although her health
had been declining for a year, she was
as we'll as usual when she retired at
night. In the morning, when she did not
rise at her accustomed time, her hus-
band first called her, and hearing no
response, he went to see why she did
not awake, and found that she was
sleeping her last sleep. In the silent
watches of the night she had passed
away without a struggle. The an
nouncement of death that has come
without moments warning, is some
times made doubly sad by the reflection
that the passing soul might not be pre-
pared to meet it's God in peace; but Mrs.
Cherry's friends have the comfort of
knowing that her faith was firmly fixed on
the eternal promises of God, and that she
yielded her life in the way that He had
appointed for her to go. She leaves be-
hind her the record of long and useful
life. She was devoted member of the

identified with the womans' work of the
church, in its several departments, and
found great delight in this service. All
christian work was to her labor of love.
Mrs. Cherry was born and reared in
this county. She was the daughter of
the late Gideon Polk. She leaves one
surviving sister, Mrs. W. G.. Aydelotte
of this city. Besides her husband,
there are four sons to mourn her loss:
Messrs. J. p. and Octie Cherry of Nash
vile, and w. o. and Nelson Cherry of
this county. They have the sympathy
of many friends in their sorrow.
The funeral services were con
