SHARPS.

Since my last letter to the CITIzES
our village has been saddened by the
death of Mr.. Willie Mealey, which
occurred on the 18th of June, after
an illness of about six weeks. Death
always brings much sadness and sor.
row, especially so when one ia taken
in the bloom of life so young and
possessing so many things in his
person and character to attract the
friendship of all who knew him. He
seemed to be i'll from the beginning
stricken with death, for the best
efforts of medical skill, and careful
nursing had no effect upon him, but
he gradually grew weaker and worse
till life ended in death. Services
were held at Jerusalem Baptist
church, conducted by Rev. Ii. l..
Walton, of the Presbyterian church,
OF which church Mr.. Mealey attend
ed regularly, and his presence will be
missed and his place will long re-
main vacant in our midst. Mr..
Walton was assisted in the services
by Rev. Mr.. Edwards, of the Baptist
church, and Rev. Mr.. Page, of the
Methodist church.
