In Memoriam

Lilly Goodlett Shelton, born
Feb. 18th, 1884; was married to
Mr.. E. B. Shelton Oct. 18th,
1908 and departed this life Nov.
END, 1909. The funeral services
we're held by her pastor, Rev.
lockhart, of Pontotoc, and Rev.
PRESTON, of Tupelo. She united
With the M. E. church at this
,lace at the tender age Of Is
years.
Only those who knew Lilly
know how sad the thought is
that she is with US no more.
Only the memory of her beauti-
ful life fingers with us, as her
pastor 50 sweetly said, 'Modesty
is woman's browning virtue"
and she was modest, meek,
gentle and loving. Her husband
summed up the wealth of that
loving heart when he said,
Why, she never knew | had a
fault, she did not think | could
do anything wrong" Lilly was
a lovely child, and in the words
of one who loved her like a sis
ter, "She was the most unselish
being l ever knew" Her love
was the Christ-love as it was
bestowed upon the poor and
lowly as well as those of higher
rank. She realized that There
is no caste in blood which rum
meth of one hue, not caste in tears
which trickle salt with all"
Many prayers were offered for
her recovery. but we could only
cray as our Savior did, IF it be
possible let this cup pass from
me; not my will but thine be
done" And if not thy will, @!
Lord, to give US our loved one.
manifest Thy presence and go
with her across the dark sea-"
AS loved ones were watching by
her bed and could no longer
smother their grief and began
to weep, she said in her sweet,
sympathetic voice, Don't cry,
| am all right" and her face
was radiant and beautiful with
the light of the heaven-born
child, and we knew she was
Safe in the arms Of Jesus, Ga!
death where is thy sting?' Ta
the Lereaved husband, mother,
father, brother and other rela-
tives we can say, think of Lilly's
pure sweet life here, then picture
her in that glorifed state, ming
ling her voice with angels around
the throne. May her exemplary
life be an inspiration to the
many friends who are left be
hind. God bless the sweet little
babe and may he be reared in
the nurture and admonition Of
the Lord and his life be conse-
Grated to His service. S. A. G..

There are, of course. many tOIStS of good

But even this class of sentiment usually
suggests the fact that the world Is shallow
and that rc.l friendship Is a scarce, aS well Is
rare. Jewel This fact Is voiced by an old
toast that used To- adorn English beer pitchers:
"A Friend that Is Social

Right welcome shall be
But he that Is Proud
OR III Natur'd may Pass
BY my Door To- an Alehouse
And Pay for his Glass -
Even the more or less known toast, To

No one bulldog vet could eat
Every other bulldogs meat;
If you have good sized bone,
Let the other dog alone"
But the tOaSts that touch upon the tender
passiou-the amorous and the supposedly
passionate-display much. If not more.

of any other kind. To prove this, take one of
the most tart of ALL and It's answer:

The answer:
" To woman'S love,-to mans not akin.
