During our attendance at the

For the generous hospitality
shown us and the numerous inyi-

The death of two prominent
members of Little Bahala church
recently, has caused sorrow among
the people. Mrs. Smith, a useful
and beloved woman in the prime
of life, departed for the unknown
country two weeks rago, and last
week Mrs. Belle Breeder, the wild
ow of the lamented C. T. Breed
en-, followed her friend and cola
borer. Mrs. Breeder was also,
comparatively, a young woman.
The love and praise we heard
spoken of these two Christian
mothers is monument to their
memory.
Mr.. Anderson Davis, who has
been bereaved in the death of a
promising son, who died at Nc
Comb four weeks ago, met with adj
ditional misfortune last Sabbath.
Mr.. Davis lives in the Little Ba-
hala neighborhood, and while the
family were attending the meeting
of the association on the day
mentioned, some covetous mis-
creant robbed them of three hun
dred dollars. The money was the
savings of the young man who had
died and had been buried in the
smoke house. Mrs. Davis had
thoughtlessly permitted the cook
to see her get money from the hid
ing place; and the robbery was
naturally the result of this, it is
supposed.
