Mrs. Il. r. Harris was summoned
by telegram on last Thursday to Ell
berton, Ga, to attend the funeral Of
Ezekiel p. Harris, who died Of heart
failure on the streets Of Elberton.
Mr.. Harris was well known through
out this section Of Oconee, where he
once resided. Ills friends we're
many. all Of whom deeply sympathize
with his bereaved widow and other
relatives In this sad hour. One year
ago to-day Mr.. Harris, with his wife,
visited here, and his presence was al
ways a loving benediction. Gentle,
kind and unselnshly considerate of
others, he was beloved by all. His
body was laid to rest in the new
presbyterian cemetery at Elberton on
FRIDAY morning. services being con-
Quoted by DR.. Stacey, assisted by the
ministers OF the various churches in
the city, He was known as "Uncle
Ieke' by the people Of E,lberton, and
many were the beautiful tributes
paid him from the pulpit and press.
The floral offerings were beyond de-
scription, testifying the respect and
loving remembrances Of his friends
and relatives. His was a beautiful
consecrated Christian life-one wor-
thy Of emulation--and we can safely
say. Peace to his ashes. He rests
from his labors and his works do fol-
low him. TO the bereaved ones we
offer our sympathy in this sad be-
reavement, and may Gods grace sus-
tain and comfort them.

Last Thursday morning Mr.. and
Mrs. W. r. Davis opened their doors
to the ladies Of the Beaverdam Mis-
sionary Society, twenty-five in num-
Der. including a few Of the Presbyte-

Greenwood. BY o'clock two quilts
were completed. and prizes were
awarded by Mrs. w. l.. Dobbs, the
first prize being won by Mrs. b. II.

the days program was the dinner

its burden Of tempting dishes pre-
pared by the ladies', and all went
away feeling that their days work

OF nice things were sent out TO the
sick and to Others who failed to be

Below we publish card Of thanks
from our esteemed friend and CO.
worker, T.. NJ. Davis:
'To the Ladies Of the Missionary
| Society of the Beaverdam Baptist
Church: | wish to thank one and all
for the nice box Of good things sent
me on the evening Of the goth. It's
the little things or acts OF kindness
that we do that mark our lives in the
sight of our Heavenly Father. What
would this world be if it were not
| for women? Oh. that man could re-
ali%e the good that is being accom-
! plished through them. What would
! be the condition Of our churches,
Sunday schools and our missionaries
in foreign lands were it not for wo-
man? 1t matters not what our situ-
alton in life may be; our surround
inSs may be all that we could ask for,
but without woman every home is a
blank. May the richest blessings at
tend every effort that is put forth in
your society is my earnest prayer"
