John D. May.

John D. May was born July 30, 1852, at the old May Home stead, about e1ght miles north of Forrest, and this became the scene of almost his entire life. IL was here that he spent the sunny days of childhood and youth. Among the sweet and chaste country girls of his native hills he found the bride of his young manhood, Mittie Giles He mar. ried her December 23. 1886, and settled on the farm almost within sight of his old home. Here he became one of the leading citizens and most substantial farmers of this section.
 He was brother of Rev. H. E May. of the White River Conference, and is well known to many of our preachers as one of the leading laymen of the Wesley circuit.
 About the opening oe tho new year he was taken with pneumonia, which re- suited in his death January F, 1905. Ills funeral was conducted by the wrl- ter from New Hore Church, and his body was laid to rest in the Hughes cemetery.
 As an all round character John May had few equals.
 As d christian his life was absolutely above reproach. He was converted at Wesley church in September, 1885 un der the preaching of Rev. John B Ril- ter, and united with the church at that place. He was never absent from church without cause, and in his quiet, modest, sincere way was ever ready to contribute to the service in song or prayer. He filled such offices in the church as trustee, steward and Sunday nta al ;tl efficiency and unfaltering fidelity. His religion broke down at no point. At home, as husband and neighbor, the had no children, he was as pure and gentle and hOspitable as he was active and faithful in the church. His sub stantial, well provided, comfortable country home was a welcome and ia vorite retreat for all the preachers, and place of attraction to neighbors and visitors. Here they freely gathered to enjoy A free and generous hospitality
 In all h;S business relations he was likewise thoroughly honest and sincere Living, as he did, all his lifetime in the same community, no one was more thoroughly known by his neighbors, l and yet no one shared more universally the confidence and esteem of the people than he did. The snow white purity of his heart, the consistency of his life, aud the unselfshneSs of his nature de- | fled criticism. The atmosphere from which he has gone forth is left fragrant with the wholesome influence of his we'll spent life. The name of John May will finger long, synonym for christian loyalty and manhood During his last illness he suffered much, but bore his sufferings with un. murmuring patience. He never lost consciousness, and when the progress of his malady had dispelled al hope of recovery, he said to his brother that there twas not shadow of cloud' upon his soul-his "way was perfectly clear"
 He has left behind widow and four brothers, and friends without number Their loss they have keenly felt, but his beautiful christian life and trlum. phant death must ever be source of comfort and inspiration to them all.
 Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright, for the end of that man is peace.o

Card of Thanks.

In the care of our afflicted relative, Mrs. A. M. Heath, our neighbors and friends have certainly been very kind and thoughtful. Their attention and assistance in nursing and caring for her have been invaluable, aud we could scarcely have gotten along so we'll with out their loving help. For all of these neighborly services am deeply grate. ful, and take this method of expressing my sincere thanks to all who have by word or deed helped us over the strug- gle. We hope our relative will improve under the present conditions and sur roundings, and that she will soon be restored to us in perfect health of body and mind, and she will join us in our appreciation of these manifold favors.

From James Hasley.

To tie Editor Forrest Citv Times;
 Though years have passed and gone siIce lift my cd home in St. Francs County, never for one moment have l ceased to te interested in the welfare of those whose hearts l found always Warm and true.
 Sometimes my nind turns backward and I think of all those knew back in old Arkansas, I think, too. of the pains and disappointmeDts and the va rying labors of time, and l think of the mistakes have made.'
 Sometimes think that if every grain of sand on old St. Francis rivers bars were a grain of gold, and All this vast wealth was mine, making me tie greatest multi-millionaire the wor d ever knew, I.would gladly give every dollar of it all if could only call back the opportunities have wasted, cor rect the mistakes have made, and put lump of sugar in the cup of every man and child knew back in old St i. Francis in years gone by.
 I think of those l knew who have crossed the river, and l am profoundly impressed with the sudden death of an 9id friend, Dr. Mcknight, and may I ask you 10 allow me to lay one of mt mory's choicest flowers upon his grave. 1 knew him well. He invaria- bly had smile and kind word for everyone he met. 1 never knew him to be guilty of any little selfish deed It was not in him. He was made of broader, better material than selfish ntss. His heart was warm and tender. He was friend to those who needed friends. Verify, lie was good Samar- itan. He never passed by on the other side. In his practice as physician he never forgot the precepts of his gentle Jesus, for Dr. Mcknight was chris tan. In the thunder he heard his Mas ter's voice: in the sunshine he saw his Savior's smile. He was an every day christian. He carried his religion into his daily life. He was always kind and genial. He was always tcharitable. always generous, ready to extend fa- vors, ready 10 reach out his hand to anyone who needed help.
 But he is gone. Oh, gentle Jesus, open wide your arms and welcome him .nto Paradise.
