DEATH OF MISS LAURA NANCE,
Word came 10 us late Saturday evening
that Miss Laura A. Nance, OF Abbeville. was
no more. She was the victim Of the fell de-
stroyer consumption. She was an exemplary
member OF the A. r. P. church since early
childhood. Early in life she gave her hand
to the church OF her choice and her heart to
God, henceforth her time. her talents, her all
were dedicated to His service. Her piety was
80 marked, tinting and coloring her every
word and act, that none who met her could
doubt It's being genuine. She possessed a
sunny and remarkably cheerful disposition,
having smile and kind word for all, always
looked on the bright side of life. She had
that charity that "is long suffering and is
kind, that thinketh no evil" Her lovely
character gave TO her an easy entrance Into
the hearts Of all whom she met, and her
many friends everywhere will be saddened
because OF her untimely death, yet they can
but feel that their loss is her gain. Such q
life is given as benediction to teach us q
lesson which. If rightly learned. will ultimate
ly lead us to joys on high. Troupe.
