Obituary.

Margaret Davidson, daughter Of
James and Nancy Reno, was born in
Fayette county, May 18, 1882, died
Nov. lS, 1910.
She was married to Frank Davidson
in August 1897, to which union five
children we're born, Dora aged u, Inez
10, Mora I, Flossie and Beryl 2, all
OF whom with her husband survive
her.
Maggie leaves three brothers, James,
Frank and Clark, four sisters, Cora,
Carrie, Mollie and Essie, with their
father, to mourn her loss, one sister,
Florence, and their mother having
gone on before
She moved to the neighborhood Of
Carmel with her parents when she
was only four years Of age. She lived
in this vicinity the remainder of her
life.
She joined the M. f. church at
Pisgah during the winter of 1907 under
the pastorage Of Rev. Moon. She
died protesting her faith in the Lord
Jesus Christ. Her illness was of a
lingering nature and she often talked
of death with her friends, saying she
was not afraid to die.
There's land that is fairer than day
And by Faith we can see It afar,
And our Father waits over the way
To prepare us a dwelling place there"

CHAPTER VII.

VY@ HERE'S no questioning the fact
that two weeks of Radville
had driven Duncan to desper-
alton. On the morning of the
fifteenth day he wakened in his room
at Miss Carpenters and lay for time
abed staring vacantly at the gaudily
papered ceiling, not through laziness
remaining on his back, but through
sheer inertia.
Why" he reflected aloud, 1T does
not seem reasonable. but I'm actually
looking forward to the delirious dissi-
patton OF church next Sunday!
