Miss Tina, lett last week for Birmingham
Ala, where they will make their future
home. Mr.. Witherspoon has been a ia
milia- figure in TupeIo for the past thir-
ty years, coming here when 1'upelo was
a mere village and feelings of regret are
expressed on every hand at his removal
from us to take up his residence among
strangers. Miss Zlna was reared here and
is beloved by every one for her noble
traits of character and sweet, gentle
disposition, and her name has become a
household word in nearly EVERY home
IN TupeIo Most OF her life has been de
voted to Sunda y-scho0l work in the pri
mary department of the Presby terrain
church, OF which she j. II most ardent
and faithful member. Her going away
is a great loss to the church she loves so
well and her place in the primary room
will be hard TO fill. We commend them
to the tender consideration of the good
people OF Birmingham, and we trust they
may find pleasant surroundings in their
new home.
