Day. Sad Death of Mrs.
Morgan. s.
Yesterday was our regular preach
ing day, but was more, because
agreeably to custum of the order
of the w. O. W., the first Sunday
in June nearest the 9th, is set apart
as decoration day, in,which each
Woodman is expected to lay, at
least, flower upon the grave of his
fellow brethren. The pastor, Bro
Freeman, was requested to preach
a sermon appropriate to the occaff5
sion which he did from the words;
'This is my commandment: that
We love one another as | have loved
YOU" John 18th chapter and 18th.

After Sunday school, the craft

Woodmen's graves as follows: SoYs;:s;

For the last Q or 3 days, the

Gates a peculiar condition to those
of us, who have been bred and born
in the sunny south. We don't re-

No doubt many an unselfish house

A sad death occurred on last Fri
day afternoon in the person of Mrs.
John Ed Morgan, whose husband
is a son of Mr.. Evan G. Morgan,
Sr. Mrs. Morgan had been sick sew
eral years and during all this time,
the tender devotion and solicitude
of the young husband was beautiful.
Mira. Morgan was a remarkably
smart woman, as her needle and
fancy work at all our fairs abun-
dainty demonstrate besides being
all expert taxidermist and painter,
but best of all she was an humble
Christian, clinging to the cross of
Christ even as she passed through
the valley of the shadow of death"
and her soul feared feared no evil. "
She was quietly laid to rest in our
Baptist cemetery Saturday afternoon
by her pastor, Rev. B. II. Covlng-
ton of the Methodist church, to
await the resurrection. She leaves
no children, and to ner lonely young
husband we offer our unfeigned
sympathies.
We had the pleasure of short
visit to hustling bustling Plum
Branch on Saturday last and were
shown through the new bank, being
introduced to the cashier, Mr..
Faulkner, who has the same name
as that of our mother. His suavity,
aud cordially would make us love
him anyway, but we confess that
We love him more on account OF
his name. The bank is in good con-
dition and we predict great success
for the institution under its present
management.

Plum Branch yesterday. We prom
ised Willie to write an article for
your paper on bugs before long.
Willie is down on bugs, especially
hum bugs.
The next meeting of the union of
the 3rd division meets at Plum

people are already picking out the
