a Tribute to the Memory of my
Mother.
By D. NJ. MCANULTY.

1t is with sadness that / chronicle
the events incident to the departure
of my precious mother, Martha r.
McAnuIty, who left us on the
morning of September IA. 1908, to
Join our loved ones in Heaven.
In the morning of the next day
after funeral services at the Presby
terian Church in Hickory Vale, ,
conducted by Rev w NJ. Norment,
we laid her hody To rest III the
Cemetery at Mount Comfort
Mamma was a daughter of Rev
Robert A Moormau Was born
Sept "a 1851 She gave her life
To Goo and beraIn+. member of
the Mount Comfort congrrea ion
of the Cumberland Presbyt rian
Church in July, 1861 In 1884
she moved her Church membership
to Hickory Valley where she re-
NAMED a faithful member to the
end.
She was married to David w.
McAnulty December 10, 1867.
Eleven children were born to them,
four of whom prece ed her TO that
Home prepared for us by our
Saviour. Her father and mother
are there What rejoicing when
our mother met these loved ones
again!
Her husblud and seven Of her
children are left to cherish her
memory.
We were made sad when we
knew she must leave us, but how
we should rejoice that she is now
where there is no pain or sorrow.
My earliest recollection Of my
mother is one of suffering. She
was for months an invalid and
rarely since | can remember was
she well. She tore b misfortune
bravely and always looked for help
TO Hin who doeth all things well.
She loved her church and was
act We in its service when she was
able TO work.
She was devoted to her husband
and children and her chief fault (if
fault it could be caileO was that
she made too great sacrifice for
them
We loved our mother and our
chief desire is to live as she ad
monished, so that when our work
here is done, we shall be prepared
to meet her again.
In her last hours of suffering she
was almost speechless, but she
understood what was going on about
her and knew that her hour of
departure was at hand. She seemed
so anxious about leaving her three
Youngest children In the dark
night, just few hours before she
crossed the great river, she called,
ssEthel," Norma "Ashley."
When they came to her she said
"good bye"
Her parting message was to her
daughter Pattie: when she saw the
tears aud sorrow, she said ''Don't
cry" Our darling mother we will
try to hold your last message and
rejoice because we know you are al
Home AMI living in the presence OF
Joy unspeakable aud full of glory.

unbroken during the week, except
in few scattered localities, where
light rains fell on the 18th and 10th .
All growing and maturing crops
are suffering greatly from lack of
moisture, and the ground is too dry
to pillow and prepare for wheat and
oats. The outlook for the late corn
crop is not at all encouraging; the
yield is certain to fall far short of
what was promised a few weeks
ago. Cotton is opening-in some
fields, rapidly and prematurely-
and the drouth is having serious
effect against full growth and de
velopment; rust and shedding are
also reported to considerable ex-
tent. Such crops as late Irish po-
tatoes, peas, millet, peanuts and
turnips are needing rain very badly;
Irish potatoes and turnips show
bad stands and growth is almost
stopped"
