DR.. u. A. JONES.

Brandon has had a spiritual uplft
as result OF the meeting Just clos
ed at the Presbyterian church. DR.,
H. A. Jones, Synodical, Evangelist for
the State of Mississippi. delivered
during the twelve days. every sermon
which oftentimes numbered four a
day. DR.. Jones Is man OF unusual
power. He Is very eloquent at all
times. He can make you laugh, or
cry, according to the emotion he wish
es to produce. He Is very earnest and
makes the listener feel, to the very
depths of his being, how fully he de-
sires his salvation. DIR. Jones is
very learned i'm ecclesiastical love. In
making an exposition of a Bible scene
he gives you a perfect setting de-
plotting the era, the environment, the
people in such a life-like manner that
the characters seem, literally, to
move, to act, to speak, to think in
your very presence.
DR. Jones has a highly intellectual
physiognomy. While speaking. his
features glow with animation and
with the beauty of his thoughts. He
is so vivid i'm the portrayal of his
themes, that he unconsciously acts
the character he would have you see
and these adds force and power to
his delineationS. He lis so spiritual
so eloquent, SO consecrated, so hu-
man withal, that the entire village
has been impressed by his PERSONAL
ity, and joins in the unanimous plea
that he will return at no distant day.

MISS CLARA BOYD.

On Easter Sunday, April 18th, 1909,
Miss Clara Boyd passed through the
valley of the shadow of death''-she
feared no evil, for her life had been
such, that the rod and staff Of Him
on whom the Psalmist rested his faith
comforted her. We have many
reasons to believe that her gentle
spirit was waited to realms of eternal
joy-and that on this beautiful Eas-
ter day her voice, that continually
praised her Savior here, was mingled
with those, of others who had gone
before
Miss Clara will ever be remembered
by all those who knew her, as one
of the purest, most consecrated
Christian ladies of their acquaintance
She has many friends all over the
State who will mourn her death, but
those of her native county-Rankin
will feel her loss more keenly. She
had made Goshen Springs her home
from childhood, but few monhs age
her family removed to Jackson, hop
ing that medical aid might restore
her to health-all that was in human
power was done, but without avail
She died, and was buried, away
from her home-but not among stran
gers, for those who stood around he1
grave were friends who had known
and loved her. Their hearts beat
i'm genuine sympathy with the dear
old broken hearted mother, the be
reaved brother and faithful nieces.
The funeral services were conducte
at the home by DR.. Bailey and the
interment took place at Cedar Lawn
cemetery.
