CULLEoKA, Oct. 3l.-Twas but a few
DAYS ago we fingered in our little city
of the dead, and, while lingering and re-
viewing the history of the loved ones
lying there, we wondered who would
next be added to the number. Sooner
than we dreamed our unspOken ques-
ton was answered, and now the body
of Elizabeth Hewlett reposes beside
that of her twin-sister, Jennie, and be-
meath "A wealth of lovely flowers.
She had lived in Nashville for several
years, but the ties that bound her to her
old home and friends here had not been
brok en-, and her death was sad shock
to our entire village. She was our loved
friend and school mate. We had spent
happy hours in her home, and many
times had she been with us in the old
home in the bright days of the past.
She was ever gentle, bright and good.
Her efforts to make others happy and
to help in any way will be so sadly
missed in her home by the father and
mother and sister.
She had not been strong for some time,
but the family and her physicians hop
ed she would soon be better. But God
Judged that gentle-hearted Lizzie chad
on earth, her blessed mission DONE"
and took her unto himself, the Great
Physician.
"'rwas on beautiful Sabbath day
y
the Resurrection Day. We point her
loved and bereaved ones to that day
and its author for comfort. The light
of its dawn shines upon us even now,
and hrightens the darkness in our heart
and homes.
