OBITUARY..

Just eleven years ago Nj.
Evan Overton and Ollie his wife
laid to rest their only son. On
this sad university Dec. Ist
1899 their hearts were bleeding
again over the open grave Ct
their youngest daughter, Court
ney V. Overton. She was %
years 9 months and 10 days OF
age. She joined Ebenezer Bap-
fist church July 1898. Since the
age six years she has attended
the Methodist Sunday school at
Sharon. 1t was here she seemed
to enjoy religion most. She
never had the advantage of
collegiate education but by close
ALLEGATION in her home, she in a
measure mastered instrumental,
beside doing great deal of read
ing. For quite awhile she was
organist for both Sunday school
aud church at Sharon. She was
endowed with strong voice and
loved to sing. She was never
happier than when presiding at
the organ and leading the sing
ing in the regular services. The
pastor will miss her responsive
face. She was a cheerful soul al
ways looking Oh the bright side
of everything and trying to make
some one else happy, consequent
~ she was the centre of a large
circle of friends and the light of
her home. She left us in the
bloom of young woman hood
and is gone to join the choir OF
heaven. We drop tear by her
grave and extend our heart felt
sy pathies to her bereaved par
ents and sisters, may they be
comforted by him who called
their loved one home. P.

90 pounds of common Salt and ten

these bottles should be ready for an

In this connection it is well to re-
member that water on burning oil scat
