Obituary.

Died: At her home near Green brier, Arkansas, March I9, 1901, Amanda Surratt, wife of O. F.. Surratt, age IS years and six months. She leaves a husband and two children, ages one and three years. Sister Surratt professed a life i'll Christ while she was quite young and united with the Needs Creek Baptist church of which she lived a devoted member until her death. She died in the bloom oi vouth and her death was as the setting of q radiant sun. She was ready to die yet anxious to live, not for her own sake, but for the sake of her two little children who need a mother care. What moral sublimity invested her dying scene! There was the redeemed spirit at tracted by the glorles oi paradise struggling to quit this tenement of clay and soar away to the haven of rest. lust a few hours beiole death she called her husband to her bedside and laying her arms around his neck, badc hnn adseu. saving all she regretted was ieav- him and the children. but 1t was the Master call and she was ready for the glad home gong She glorihed God in death and who has doubt about her ascen- sion to the man iions ot glory. l never heard her piety called Ill question. She was a lonely speci- men of the excellency of the chfls- tian character. She was sunshine in her home and church.
