DEATH OF MRS. MrNEIL.
Friend Pays Tribute to Good Woman,
Who Passed AWAY in BronWOOd.

w no Il boSCu AWAY
The angel whose mission is to
gather in his harvest of souls has
plucked from our midst our friend
and neigh Dor, Mrs. H. f. Mcneil.
On Tuesday, Oct. 81, 1913, after
four days of extreme illness Mrs.
Mcneil was called to enter the glory
of that land which has no need of
the sun, neither the moon to shine
in it, and the Lamb is the light there
Of" Mrs. McNeils health was very
much impaired for some months pre-
vious to her death. She was taken
suddenly ill Friday morning, and
though all was done for her that
children, friends and doctors could do
none but the Great Physician could
stay deaths icy hands. She passed
peacefully away about one O'Clock
Tuesday afternoon. Her willing
hands were ever ready to minister to
those in need. OF a truth it can be
said, "she hath done what she could"
We are assured that she has entered
into the reward which she so richly
deserved at the hands of the Master
she loved and delighted to serve.
Though we miss her here and pace
is vacant in her home that cannot be
filled she is not lost, but gone before,
and on that glorious resurrection
morn will clasp the hands of her low
ed ones again.
Loved ones, she is singing in the
sinless summerland, singing with the
redeemed, whose robes have been
washed in the blood of the Lamb,
whose tears have been wiped away,
now wearing the beautiful white
robes, having come up through
great tribulation, walking the gold
paved streets, passing through the
pearly gates, and in possession OF
| happiness fancy cannot picture and
words are inadequate to describe.
| The funeral service was conducted
by Rev. ]. F. Eden, her pastor, who
spoke very feelingly of the beautiful
| life now ended. At the conclusion
Of the service the body was tenderll
laid to rest in the silent city of thu
dead at the new cemetery in Bron
wood. She leaves an aged mother
one brother, one son and several step
children May Gods blessings res
upon them. A FRIEND.

3O,I47 BALES BEEN GINNEO
Up to Nov. 1 Nearly 5000 Bales More
Than Year Ago, and Only 1000
Less Than Total in 1912.

The official report Of the returns
made by ginners to the government
shows that up to November 1st there
had been ginned in Terrell county
3O,147 bales of cotton. This is 4,3O8
bales more than had been ginned at
the same date in 1912, the figures for
that year being 25,839.
The number ginned to November 1
is within 1000 bales of the total crop
grown in the county in 1912, which,
according to the governments gin
statistics, was 1900. The crop this
year has not turned out as we'll as it
at one time promised, but it is esti-
mated that it will exceed that Of
1912 by two or three thousand bales.
