1t is very sad indeed for US to
chronicle the sad death of our
friend Mr.. G. 7. Sally who pass
ed away into the great beyond,
March 9, just two weeks from
the time of the burial Of his sis
ter Mrs. Mollie Horton. MIR.
Sally was sick only about ten
days. His suffering was very
great but hebore it with strength
and courage. This is a very
heavy blow on his aged mother
who is in very feeble health.
Two months ago both of her chill
dren were in good health and
now they are silently sleeping
their last sleep and still more
sorrowful on her past. The same
day her daughter died. her fav-
.orite neice Mrs. Murray of Bur-
lington was buried. Mr.. Sally
was a good man and everybody
that knew him, liked him. He
was a true christian having been
a member of Clement church for
many years and there amid the
giant oaks his body is resting.
Rev. S. Y. Brown is very sick
at the home of his neice Mrs. R.
L. Long.
The public school closed at
this place a few days ago and our
teachers have gone home. Miss
Rigsbee to Durham and Miss
Thomson TO Sonora.
Spring time is here and it
makes US feel good to know that
God in his mercy has spared our
lives thrIugh the desolate winter
months. 1t il very sad if we
will only look back and count up
the alarming number of deaths
that have carried our friends and
loved ones to their long reward,
and those of US who are left
should try to liye:a better life,
not knowing what hour nor day
we may be called upon to give
an account of our stewardship.
Death is a mysterious object that
comes upon US unawares and
very often when we least ex-
pect it, we are face to face with
it. So now as beautiful spring
is here and our master is blessing
US with beautiful song birds and
flowers. lets all try to see if we
cannot do something the remain
ing months of this year that we
will always be pleased to refer
TO.
