in this vicinity to manufacture news.
| judge that the people are getting
very scarce from the number that gen
orally attend Sunday school and church
services. Our Sunday school here
had to go "dead" on account of
mon attendance" of the people. It
seems as if the people here do not re-
alize the fact that it takes attendance
of both officers and students to make
successful Sunday school.

Death has again visited our com
munity and taken from us another
neighbor and friend, Mrs. Katie Crit
fifth. She died at her father-in-law 5,
D NJ Griffith, about o'clock last Mon
day. She lived at Whitwell and was
taken sick some two or three months
ago She fingered and grew worse and
was brought down to the valley hop
ing that the change of water and
location would benefit her, but alas
the change brought no relief. She was
the daughter of Daniel Pitman and
wife of Joe Griffith. She leaves a sor'
rowing husband, one child, father,
two sisters and three brothers, besides
a host of relatives and friends tc
mourn her departure. She was buried
at the Knox grave yard in tine presence
of a host of sorrowing friends. The
funeral services were conducted by
Rev. ]. D. Billingsley. Our whole
soul goes out in sympathy to the be-
reaved. A Friend.
