WEST POINT.

WEST POINT, Dec. IL THANKSGIVING
day was not formally observed at this
place, although we feel sure that the
people of our community did not forget
to be thankful for the many blessings
we have enjoyed during the past year.
The year is fast winding to close, and
another Xmas time Is soon to be cele-
brated. 10 some it will be one of glad
ness, while others will have many sad
homes thinking of the faces that were
so bright round the Xmas fires a year
ago. In many homes there are vacant
chairs, and maybe here and there a
pair OF little stockings are put away,
that last Y ear hung close by the fireside
while the expectant little one slept and
dreamed of santa Claus"
Bro. Ausban will preach at this place
next Sabbath afternoon.
Cam Vestal, of near Nashville, is visit
ing relatives here at this writing.
Wheat is looking thin enough for this
time of year, but the farmers should not
feel discouraged.
Miss Ida Addison, of your city,
visited us last week.
Mrs. Laura Porter died at her home
near this place last Wednesday morn
ing, the 5tb, after long illness She
leaves many friends, two brothers,
three sisters, husband and two little
boys to mourn her loss. She was reared
in this community, and her life among
us speaks more for her than we can say
in our way. We extend our sympathy
to the bereaved ones, especially the lit
tie boys. for they are too small to
realize what they lost that day. May
the Lord comfort the sorrowing rela-
tives, and above all watch over the lit
tie boys, is the prayer of ZULA.
