There were five rails washed out

night. Fortunately no one was
drowned.

lOSIs
The deceased leaves to mourn
her absence, a husband, one child,
a father, a number of brothers and
sisters and a host of friends. She
was converted and joined the Meth
odist Episcopal church at Ironton
Mo-, in 1891. She lived a consis-
tent Christian life up to the time
of her death. Our loss and grief
here are softened and frightened
by the assurance OF the gospel and
her abiding faith in her Savior.
Her last words to her husband
were, "Take me home to my par
ents." He said, "Carrie, do you
think you are going to die?" She
said, eyes, l feel that | am going
home to glory, and l want you and
all the rest to meet me there"
Her body was brought back to
lronton, and the funeral services
were conducted in the Methodist
church by the pastor June %, after
which we laid her away in the
~lronton cemetery to await the res
su~rrection morn.
To the husband, relatives and
friends, "Look up, she is gone, but
not dead" She will be waiting
for you on the other side. May
God bless you and help you to so
live that you may meet her, is our
prayer. T. j. PETERSON.

DIED-Mrs. Alice L. Pease, wife
of Arthur l.. Pease, December Sd.
1908, at the age of 80 years,
months and % days. She leaves g
husband and two children and g
host of friends to mourn her death
She was a true and faithful
wife and a loving mother. She
protested faith in Christ wher
quite young and united with the
Baptist church. She loved hel
church and was a devoted Chris
tan until death. The comforting
words of our blessed Saviour tell
us if we believe on him though we
be dead we shall live.
The weak'ning pulse, the short'ning
breath,
The last, faint, Aut'ring sigh,
And then we weep and call it death,
But can a Christian die?
The prison bars asunder break,
The captive is set free,
And angel harps, in glory, wake
To sweeter melody.
The ransomed spirit takes its flight,
The heavily goal is won,
Beyond the power Of sins dark night,
A new life is begun;
A life that ever shall increase
In wisdom's boundless joy,
Where sweet surprises never cease,
And love finds fresh employ,
A life with God-the source of life,
Eternal, true, sublime,
Beyond the reach of earthly strife,
. Beyond the frosts of time!
0, glad new life, mid joys supreme,
Unfettered, pure and free,
Our waiting hearts but family dream
What thy delights shall be!
A FRIEND.

peaceful rest and quiet comfort in
the hours of natures restoration.
To these gentlemen are due the
acknowledgment that is herein
gratefully given.
The following, taken from the
last issue of the Greenville Journal
tells of local option results in
Wayne county: ga great deal of
interest was conferred in the case of
the state against the Piedmont So
call and Pasttime Club, or rather
against Will Nelly, as steward and
treasurer of that club, if club it was.
After the adoption of the local
option law in this county the sa-
looms went out of business at the
expiration of their licenses.
Shortly after the Fulton saloon at
Piedmont closed a number of the
heretofore saloon patrons met and
organized a social club, know as
the Piedmont Social and Pasttime
Club. Z. 7. Starnes was elected
president, Jas, Tuner, vice presi-
dent, Sim Frazier, secretary and
Will Nicely, treasurer and steward.
They got up a few articles of agree
ment for a constitution or bylaws
of the club, and rented a part of
the Fulton saloon building and
placed Nicely in there to have
charge and run the thing. A per-
son was admitted to membership,
and when so admitted he paid Mr..
Nicely, the stewart, two dollars.
AS a certificate of membership he
received a punch-out card, calling
for the value of two dollars in
goods of the club. When he want
ed a drink, or several drinks, he
would get them and present this
card, and the bartender, Mr.. Nicely,
would punch out on his card the
amount purchased. When the
amount of the card was drank up
he would lose his membership un-
less he bought another punoh-out
card. He could buy these cards as
often as he wished and pay for his
drinks with them for all the liquor
he wanted. In fact there seems to
have been but little difference be-
tween this club and a regular a
loon. While Mr.. Nelly claimed
they only sold to members of the
club, yet this club had a member
ship of 112 members, which would
be a good saloon patronage.
Prosecuting Attorney Davis filed
information in Squire Holmes
court at Piedmont against Nelly
and Frazier, charging them with
illegally selling liquor. A change
of venue brought the case to Green
vile. The witnesses for the state
| were members of the club, also
told of the workings OF the club,
and each INT of them when asked
by the prosecutor why he became
a member, said, so L could get
drinks when | wanted them At
torney Davis brought out in ev-
idence that the club was created
and was used for the purpose of
evading the local option liquor law,
and the jury promptly returned a
verdict fining Mr.. Nicely $500"
