MINISTER CALLED OUT and KILLED.

Mount Airy, May 24.-Last night
a killing occurred ten miles north of
this place in Carroll county, Virginia,
which is regarded as the most cow
ardly crime ever committed in a Sec
ton which in the past year has been
the scene of several shootings.
Rev. Joseph Easter had retired,
when some man called him up to in
quire the nearest way to a neigh
boris. The preacher came to the door
and walked around the house with
the man to show him a path through
the plantation, when another man a
short distance away emptied a load
of buck shot-shot into him, killing
him instantly. 1t is learned that the
victim s wife recognized the man who
did the shooting, as the moon was
shining brightly and the arrest of the
guilty party is expected. .... ...
The shooting is supposed to have
been the outcome Of the preacher S
fight among his church members up
on the blockaders of that section. A
large crowd gathered at the dead
mans house to-day and it is said
that if the guilty party is apprehend-
ed he will be promptly lynched.

JOHN B. TILLERY.
February ~, lS24-May "a, 1907.

In the death Of brother John B.
1illery the town and county have
lost one of their oldest and best citi-
zens and the cause Of Christianity
has lost one Of i S most earnest rep
resentatives. He was quiet and IN
assuming but he bore the image of
his Master in his patient, gentle life.
He prayed no loud prayers nor did
he parade his religion upon the street
corner, but he lived the Christ life
every day. The best of religion is
in the living and he lived nobly and
uprightly. The universal testimony
is "a good man has gone,' and "A
good name is rather to be chosen
than great riches" The noble and
worthy bearing of his life finds a
most excellent illustration in the
splendid sons and daughters he left
behind. They are seven. Three
SONS and four daughters. Each one
an earnest follower Of Jesus. A
noble tribute to the old father is
his. He trained them in the Way
they should go in their childhood and
they did not depart from it.
He was eighty three years old and
for many years a child of God.
Like the patriarchs of old he went
down to the grave full of years and
good deeds. Like the sheaf ripe for
the garner, he died full ripe and
ready for heaven.
All his life until about two years
ago was spent on the farm, near
Tillery in this county. And this
healthy out-of-door occupation in
vigorated him and kept him young
even in his old age. For until the
last few months of his life he was
active and vigorous and spent much
Of his time in the garden with his
hoe and rake. He frequently said
he did not know how to be idle.
Some time during the winter he
had the grip from which he never
quite recovered. He seemed to grow
weaker, and when old age pressed
it's claims upon him in this weaken
ed state he was unable to resist.
Slowly he gave way and we could
see the gradual losing of ground.
The end came so quietly. His was
q Christians death. The crossing had
no alarms; it was a deliverance.
It was such a fitting close to his
quiet, undemonstrative life. Like
the setting of summers sun when
no cloud or storm was near. He
just quietly went to sleep-and the
very ease and quietness seemed to
whisper, Peace" Asleep in Jesus,
blessed sleep" All, what comfort
to his bereaved children around his
bed and what message for the sons
of men! To the child of God death
is only a dream.
The funeral procession left his
home at five o'clock Saturday and
he was laid to rest in the Baptist
cemetery. HIS PASTOR.
