DIR. and Mrs. Will Crawford at
tended the Sunday School Conven-

were guests to dinner at the home
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Britton Scott, where
their kind hospitality was thorough
ly enjoyed and contributed very
much in making the occasion one of
great social enjoyment, as well as
promoting the interests of the Sun
day School work.
The new church at Pikeville where
the County Sunday School Conyen-
ton was held last Sunday Will stand
as a monument to the untiring eff
forts of Rev. III. E. Trip, who de-
serves much credit for the handsome
edifice, when it will be remembered
that he has overcome all obstacles,
and especially the increased influence
for evil which existed there, until
the saloons were closed, and now the
prospects are very promising for a
growing church membership and
much good accomplished. So mote
it be.
The allotted harvest of the White
Cleaner is being gathered every day,
but the swinging of his sickle is
hardly noticed until he comes with
in the circle of our own homes Or
that of our friends. On last Friday
afternoon when he entered the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. JnO. Edwards and
claimed their loved daughter Miss
Sallie Smith, the curtains Of gloom
and sadness drawn over our en-
tire community, and every heart
plunged in deepest sorrow. Miss
Sallie was a most lovable young wo-
man just entering womanhood.
E'Standing with reluctant feet,
Where the brook and river meet"
She was the idol of her home, and
loved by every one for her beautiful
Christian character and the many IN
nobling virtues which promised to
develop her into ga perfect woman
nobly planned" We cannot under
stand the dispensations of Divine
Providence, nor why it is hat those
who give promise of most usefulness
in life are soonest cut off.
In her heart no germ of selfshness
was ever known to live and around
her young life there ever glowed the
radiant sunlight of happiness and
joy, which drew friends and adj
mirers, as naturally as steel to a
magnet. Her implicit confidence in,
and devotion to her mother, was so
beautifully developed, that it was
always a subject of comment, and
served as a safeguard and protection
in the cares and pleasures of her
young buoyant life, and was a sourc
of qualification to her loving mother,
and devoted step father, welding an
influence for good, not only around
the home circle, but among her
young associates.
The funeral was held Saturday
afternoon by her pastor, whom she
SO much loved, Rev. III. E. Trip,
and she was buried at the Edwards
graveyard, a large crowd attending,
there being by actual count los We
hicles in the funeral procession, be-
Esides those ON foot. She was loved
by everyone who knew her, but God
loved her best.
To her bereaved mother and each
member of the family we extend our
hearts tenderest sympathy.
