Obituary.

William Smith, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. j. N. Smith, of near Kings
Schoolhouse, died November 18th,
1908, with typhoid fever. His
death was not a surprise to neigh
bors and loved ones. For more
than a week before God came and
called him home all hope of medi-
cal aid had vanished; physicians
did their best to restore health and
give ease, but all in vain. 1t pleas
ed the Great Physician, Jesus, to
relieve Bro. Will of suffering in
this cold world, and the testimony
of our brother in Jesus was, 81 am
ready to meet God"
Something over a year ago the
dear brother was converted to Je-
sus, and many times | have look
ed into his face as he testified to
the Saving Grace of God, of Jesus
as his Personal Savior. He was
always ready to give a reason for
the hope that dwelt within him.
And with a heavenly smile upon
his face he cheered the lives around
him. One could see he had been
with Jesus.
One year ago-the fourth Sum
day in this month"; baptized Bro.
Will and the third Sunday in this
month l preached his funeral-in
about three-fourths of a. mile from
where he was baptized. He was
25 years, 5 months and Is days oil
age, and had given the last yea1
and 40 days to God. And on his
bed of affection, while loved ones
and friends were gathered around
the bed side, he looked up into the
face of Jesus, and there and Their
was sanctifed. And as I went tc
preach the funeral, Bro. Johr
Smith, the father, told me, with
tears streaming from his eyes, tina
he was blessedly sanctified severa
days before he died. So he wen
out to meet God and be with jesus
forever, and left a testimonial tt
live forever.
To the father and mother, wife
brothers and sisters, | point you tt
Jesus who will some day dry on
tears, relieve us from pain, and,
we only trust and obey, we cal
live with Bro. Will forever!
All for Jesus,
REV. w. w. STROTHER.

From the Dunklin Democrat.)
Mrs. Sarah Ann Langdon, born
May 1, 1880, died at Mexico, Mo-,
November 10, 1908. She was the
widow of the lamented E. j. Lang
don, Dunklin county's old and re-
spected citizen, who died at Arcadia
in the winter of 1893. She was a
daughter of Robert L. and Sarah
8. Glasscock, who lived near Po-
chahontas, Ark, where she was
born. Her parents were sturdy
pioneers, the father of Irish and
the mother of Scotch and Chero-
kee descent. They lived in Dunk
lin county many years, and in
1847 the daughter, the subject OF
this sketch, was married to the
afterwards prosperous Judge Ed
win j. Langdon, that man who
was a friend to so many, who was
a part of Dunklin county's best
history. The couple became the
parents of a family of children
who have made their mark in the
world, also. The living children
are: VIM. H. Langdon, a promi-
nent merchant and business man
of Jonesboro, Texas; Charles V,
Langdon, the well-known and sue
cessful merchant and farmer, Of
Cotton Plant; A. j. Langdon, the
fnancier, abanker and farmer o.
Hornersville and Arcadia, ane
Mrs. Hettie l.. Schaide, of Mexico
Mo. Another son, Truman Lang
don, died several years ago, ant
his family live at McMinville
Tennessee. Four other children
died in infancy or early youth.
Mrs. Langdon was a remarkabl
woman. She possessed a strong
intellect, was well posted in al
matters of current interest, had
reliable memory and was a splen
did conversationilist. She main
tanned her activity until a few year
ago when a fall disabled her loco
motive strength, and then she hat
to rely upon a chair and crutch tx
get about. She spent her tim
with her children, principally, an
died at the home Of her daughter
Her demise was not unexpecte,
for she had been in feeble healtI
for several months.

Corn gathering has been COM
pleted in this locality. Though
the yield was, in many instances,
light, the grain was unusually
sound.
But little rain fell here during
the past month, uutil the night of
the 22d inst. Since then we have
had two good rains and the con-
ditions are now favorable for a
thrifty growth in wheat-felds.
Married-November I'd, 1908, at
the residence of Mr.. j. M. Lucas,
by j., o. Scott, j. p, Miss Bessie
Henderson to Mr.. John Ship.
By tearing out the trunking
and filling the race of the old
Croker grist mill, j. M. Lucas
has removed the last remains OF
an old landmark. Underground
meal, much preferred by many to
the more rapidly ground, and
consequently heated steam-ground
meal is a thing of the past in this
vicinity.
Among those who visited friends
and relatives here in November
note the following: Mrs. Robert
Bays and daughter, Miss Lucy
Baya, Of near Tolu; Rooney Mar
tin, Of near Bixby; Misses Lottit
and Lola Hawkins and Marcus
Yount, Of Ironton.
Visiting went: Miss Gladly
Love and her brother, Olin Love
to near Belgrade j. @. Scott ant
wife to Ironton; Mr.. and Mrs. j

Home Circle

1t is In the home that woman rises
to her truest heights and wieldS her
widest influence. Every home is a
miniature world, and the wife is a
crowned queen. The wife who makes
society the field Of her accomplish
ments soon finds her husband a de-
voted club man. The woman who
fills her head with many OF the ideas
and pleasures of much that Is called
society, soon wants to entertain her
husband, any evening she may not
have some other engagement, with
cards. She plays just as she did to win
some prize at progressive euchre or
whist parties. She cheats little, and
they have little spat over it, and
then another and another, and pres
emily she fires something at his head,
but misses it and hits the motto over
the door, "God Bless Our Home -

the woman who has set her heart on
much that is in modern snciety.
