IN MEMORY OF WILLIAM
SAMMIE BEARD.

Died at Providence Infirmary in
Mobile, Ala, on June 80, 1908, Will
liam Sammie, the eldest son of
Mr.. and Mrs w. S. Beard. Was
twelve years and one day old. He
was good quiet boy and a favor
lite of the neigh5orhood. All
loved him. He was loving and
kind at school. You could hear the
children say, mamma, | love Sam,
for he is so good to me, at school.
They all wanted seat by him in
school. Oh, how sad it is to part
with him, but why should we
weep, for Sam is in Heaven where
there is no parting, no tears or
pain; let US follow his little foot
steps for they are perfect.
A voice we cherish is still,
A vacant place in home.
Which never can be filled.
We loved him. yes we loved him,
But angels loved him more.
And they have swcetly called him,
To yonder shining shore,
The golden gates were opened.
A gentle voice said come!
And with farewells unspoken.
He calmly entered home.

OBITUARIES.
MRS. ARGENT IRELAND.

Mrs. ARGENT IRELAND.
Mrs. Argent Breland, beloved
wife of John C. Breland, departed
this life in peace at 100 p M.
Thursday, July End 1908. Aged 81
years: and was buried at the Bre-
land Grave yard near Buffalo
Church. Rev. Alex Breland most
ably conducted the funeral SER
vices at the grave, showing that
the deceased was a member of the
Baptist Church, she died in the
faith; her life proved that she
was follower of the Lord, and
was ready to go; peacefully falling
asleep she was translated to the
realms above and is now at rest.
We sympathize with the be-
reaved husband and children,
who are not the only ones who
w i'll miss her-for she ministered
unto the sick and afflicted during
her life. The deceased suffered
patiently without the least COM
plant, or fear, and slowly slept her
life away into the arms of Jesus,
she suffered from chronic bowel
trouble, of ten or twelve years
standing, and bilious malaria.

Of all the wretched spelling we
ran across it this week in one of
the contributed letters. The ed
itor does not mind correcting the
usual run of misspelt words in the
average country corr sspondence,
but when IT. comes to having to al
most rewrite about a third of the
words in sentence, think he is be-
ing imposed upon by one who ha;
added laziness to ignorance. 1g-
norance is rightly said to be no dis
grace, but coupled with laziness it
turns cut to be a pretty bitter pill
to us in this instance. Trust
that this will not give offence but
will serve as an ACCOMPLISHMENT to
the reckless composition Trainer, to
use either spelling book or die
tionary on doubtful words when

Today a total of over l,0OO,OOO morse pow
