Another one of our good citizens has
passed away. Mr.. W. D. Halfacre died
at his home near st. Philips church on
last Friday night, 2Sth ulto., age "A
years. The deceased was man OF no.
bic character. and was esteemed very
high by his neighbors and all who
knew him. knew him to be man OF
good feeling. His heart and hand were
always open to help the needy. The
people, not only of his own surrounding,
but great many others will miss him
He was a member of ST Philips church,
and his body was quietly laid to rest in
the graveyard there on Saturday foI-
lowing his death, Rev. J. J. Long con-
Quoting the burial services. The SER
mon was quite interesting and very
much suited to the occasion. The
large congregation present showed that
the deceased was very highly esteemed
by his many friends. He was twice
married and leaves four surviving chill
dren, two by each marriage May God
bless the wife and orphan children,
and trust they will strive to gain that
which their father left-a good name,
character and reputation. Dear chill
dren, it will be better to gain this than
the wealth of the whole world.
Our ususI cold snap came after Easter
this time, and it's doing up the fruit.
Considerable frost on "Wednesday morn
ing with some ice.
Farm work is moving right along.
Corn planting pretty general this week.
We hoE that our church people all
enjoyed the Easter services on last
Sunday. 1t is blessed privilege TO
meet in our respective places OF Wor'
ship in remembrance of our dying
Saviour. Yes, the stone is rolled away.
Death has yielded up it's mighty prey.
The only hope of our salvation hangs
u pom our crucifed Saviour.
Our services at Colony las. Sunday
were rather sad. While the sermon was
full of Joy, peace and gladness, anu
while it was blessed privilege to COM
memorate the suffering, death aud
resurrection of our blessed Saviour, 1t
was quite sad to know that this was the
parting sermon from our pastor whom
the people of Colony church loved so
we'll. Rev. Armstrong commenced
breaking the bread of life to US about
two years ago. He came as perfect
stranger. Some of the first work he
did was to go around into the homes OF
his congregation which not Only crea-
ted personal acquaintance, but also
much love and kindness, and this pas
toral work shortly developed into q
crowded church almost every preaching
day. Rev Armstrong is a man that
will gain the influence of his people
wherever he goes. His disposition is
always mild and pleasant, and to know
him simply means to love him. He
did g good work in our church, and
leaves behind love that will be cher
isbed in the hearts of many.
The close of the service was very sad.
when he bid his congregation good bye
and the choir sang "God be with you
till we meet again"
LATER.
Miss Mary Lou Norris closed her
school at Jolly Street last Friday until
