in Little Rock, G. P. Chalfant

Mr.. Chalfant offered his young
manhood on the alter of the
South, and served four years un-

matchless christian gentleman,
Robt. E. Lee. A generation has
come upon the stage of Action
since the close of the war. and
have passed the meridian of
life's day, are now defending the
western slope whence all the
race of man is tending. Mr..
Chalfant suffered all the hard
ships incident to life in the Con-
federate army besides being ter
ribly wounded at the battle Of
Gettysburg-the Waterloo CT the
Confederacy. He was left on
that hot July day. Was found
by a Federal and cared for and
afterwards was exchanged and
followed Lee to AppomattoX..
His wound gave him lots of
trouble and suffering all through
life, but now he rests with all
his comrades that fell in the bat
tie and those who have fallen on
the road since the war.
He leaves several children and
his faithful wife to mourn his
death. He was the father of
Mrs, j. E. Fisher of this city and
his other daughter lives in Little
Rock while his only son, Mack
Chafant lives in Dallas Texas.
His remains were laid to rest
in the DeAnn Cemetery Sunday

resurrection of the dead.
Peace to ashes and a benedict
ion to his loved ones.

MARY PITTMAN

Died at the home of her par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. Dan Pittman,
on last Thursday night, October.
10Th 1911, their daughter. Mary,
aged, 8 years. Little Mary had
been sick for a week but none Of
the family or the physicians
thought her sickness serious un-
til the evening before her death.
Little Mary Pittman is dead.
The word flew over the town as
on wings of the wind, Where
ever it touched it left sorrow and
sadness, and the expression OF
sympathy for the bereaved ones
were many and from the heart.
Bright, happy and cheerful,
Mary carried sunshine with her
wherever she went. She had
always a smile and a pleasant

death comes as a dark shadow
to friends and to her relatives
who loved her so dearly,
Death is hard master. He
would take from us our brightest
and best, dut he cannot even mar
memory. 1t will serve as a balm
to our wounded hearts. A brief
funeral service was held at the
home Saturdaymorning. conduct
ed by Rev. A. M. Shaw, pastor
of the local methodist church.
Many of the relatives of the
sorrowing family were present,
and as they looked upon the
sweet, placid little body in its
white casket and surrounded by
beautiful and fragrant flowers
yet not more beautiful or pure
than the little face within-their
hearts swelled in sympathy for
the bereaved father and mother
for this their only child. But
let US not think of little Mary as
dead. but living; not as a flower
that has withered, but as one
that transplanted by Divine
hand, is blooming in richer color
and sweeter fragrance than those
of earth. The little remains
were entered in DeAnn Gene
terry Saturday morning, there to
await the resurrection morn.
When we see a precious blossom
That we tended with such care,
Rudely taken from our bosom,
How our aching hearts despair!
Round its little grave we linger.
Till the setting sun is low,
Feeling allourhopes haveperished
With the flower we cherished so.
We shall sleep, but not forever,
There will be a glorious dawn;
We shall meet to part, no never,
On the resurrection morn.
