nest had been kept up fol some time

Several days ago at home in this
city, eggs began to disappear from
one of the hen nests in the yard. Close

eggs were being taken. Nevertheless

Miss Eula Clark Dead.

On the morning of July 18th, 1913,
ahis, lovely.young woman passed from
her earthly home to the home mot
made with hands, eternal in the
heavens. Her, life seemed so short,
she having just passed her twenty
eighth birthday, but it was not lacking
in usefulness and duties rightly per-
formed. Truly can it be said that hel
life was "jeweled with many virtues
and noble deeds"
She had been in declining health fo-
two years Or more, but the last elgh-
teen months of her life was spent in
Sanitoriums, first in Columbia. S. O.,
and last in Asheville, N. c., with the
fond hope of regainlng health and
strength once more, but alas; it was
not to be so, the master had need for
her, and despite all human help from
loving hearts and hands, his summons
must be obeyed. The bereaved should
not mourn as those who have no hope.
They can receive comfort from this
sweet assurance. BLESSED are the
dead which die in the Lord"
Miss Eula CLARK will be well remem-
bered by many friends and by school
mates and classmates OF The Palmetto
/ Collegiate Institute Of this place, and
{ in which she was a student from 1908
TO 1905. She finished the course IN this
school with distinction and honor,
conferred by her teacher, Prof. o. D.
Seay, who was at that time principal
Of the institution. Soon after COM
pleting the course of instruction in this
school, she began to teach in the public
schools of her own State, with first
grade certificates, and was actively
engaged in this work until her health
gave way in 1911. From that time on
until the close of her life, she was
great sufferer. but gentleness and pa
tient endurance shone out from her
beaming conntenance through it all.
On the sweet Sabbath morning of July
Goth, her body was placed to rest in
the cemetery of the church near her
home, Of which she had in early life
become member, remaining faithful
TO the end. Death always sheds a gloom
and throws shadow, but when its
cold hand is laid on one to whom life
seems SO full and sweet, one who has
neMe ambitions and high hope for the
future, earnestly striving along the
way for the uplift of humanity, the
gloom does Sc m deeper and the shad-
sows grow longer and wider. But we
who are saddened By the going out of
shis light must bow to the "infnite
wisdom y Sure it will shine brighter
in the Great Beyond"
