Rev. j. R. Earle had the misfortune
to lose his two barns last Saturday af-
tern0on by fire. The large new one
was struck by lightning and the old
me, being near, wns also burned. \
large quantity OF foragc-all he had
was consumed. The stock was all
saved except his buggy horse. and it is
thought it was killed by the lightning,
though not certain. There was only a
small insurance on the buildings, and
the loss falls heavily on Mr.. Earle

The news of the death of Rev. Wilton
Earle was received in this community
last week with the deepest sorrow by
every one, both white and colored, for
he had the respect and love of every
one, which is a far better legacy to
leave behind than silver and gold. We
can hardly realize that Wilton is gone.
Only few months ago he preached at
Shiloh 80 earnestly, so vigorously and
with such loving tenderness. His body
is in the grave and his tongue stilled

brief career will be stars in his crown
