days or more. The attack was Sc
we're one, and last Thursday night,
shortly after midnight, the pure spirit
fed from the childish body and God
took her to himself. Mary Moore, as
she was afectionately called by those
who knew and loved her, was one Of
the sweetest children we have ever

of the captives of Abs Valley when

are bereft Of the dearly loved one we
extend our sincerest sympathy-in-
deed the whole community sorrows
with them. Rev. DR.. A. C. Hopkins
