In Memoriam.

Il is with sad heart We chronicle
the death of our dear and beloved
young friend, Hattie Leila, wife of
Cleveland Smith. She was born
April 8, 1884, and died October =. y.
1905
She leaves to mourn her departure
q husband, father, mother, three
brothers and three sisters, besides a
large circle of relatives and friends.
She was faithful member of
Florence Baptist church, Lexington
Association,) and remained true to
her Lord and Master until her spirit
took it's everlasting fight to that
home prepared for all that love God.
Her death caused deep grief into the
hearts of every one in the community.
Hattie was one of those gentle
sweet unselfish natures who won loge
and high respect from al who came
in contact with her. Always warm
welcome and q sweet smile awaited
you on entering her home. No more
will We hear her tender voice or see
her. sweet face, no more will the
hearts of her loved ones be cheered
by her sweet smiles and kind atten-
tions. She is gone, and the places
which knew her will know her no
more forever, but We comfort our
selves by knowing that cur less is
her eternal gain. Pastor.

ries good values both in free gold
