Memory

On the night of Sept. "a, 1912,
God visited the home of Warren
Afford and took as his victim,
his sister; Mrs Charity Warren.
She was born Mar. the 3rd 1866
in Newton Co., but came to Ne
shoba with her parents while
quite young and has lived in and
near her old home until called
away.
She accepted Christ as her sa.
vior, near 5 years ago and was
united with the Missionary Bap-
tist, at Henrys Chapel church,
where she remained a true and
devoted christian until called, to
that home "not made with
hands," there to be bright and
shining jewel throughout eterni-
ty.
Such sweet consultations to the
bereaved relatives and friends to
see her bear her burdens and
pains so easy, glad to see her
friends at all times, knowing
hat a few more settings of the
sun, she would enter the golden
gate, there to meet loved ones
gone before.
1t was the privilege of the wri-
ter to have this dear sister in
her home for more than 5 months
before God called her away.
She bore her sickness with pa
tience and seemed to love every
one in our home. At the last
she called us one, by one to her
bed side, putting her arms a
round each ones neck and kissing
all fare well ; and telling each of
US how good We had been and
how much she appreciated it. She
then folded her arms, closed her
eyes, and seemed to feel that her
work of this world was finished /;
in a few moments more, while
her brother was rubbing her
hands, she opened her eyes and
told him to let her 90, that she
wanted to 60 home. She thus
breathed her last, so We know
and feel that she was one of the
chosen ones.
She was united in matrimony
to Mr. Willis Warren in the year
1898. There were born, unto
them children two boys and
two girls to make this home hap
py, but God called the little girls
home many days hence.
Little boys weep not for your
dear mother. She's gone to live
with Jesus in his eternal home."

MARVELLOUS ESCAPE FROM Sc
RIOUS INJURY

hundreds OF citizens yesterday
afternoon about 2:3O O'Clock. in
the vicinity of Taft & Weld
mans cafe, were thrown into a
lever of excitement when sud.
denly they observed man
plunge headlong through the
large plate glass front of the we'll.
koWn cafe and fall to sidewalk
with the loud crash of the heavy
shattered glass.
Mr. Weidman, one of the pro-
prletors of the cafe, as well as
others, rushed to the mans assis-
tance, thinking he had been dan
gerously injured as a result of
his contact with the heavy glass,
but were agreeably surprised to
find that he had miraculously es-
capped any greater injury than a
few minor scratches.
In answer to inquirers as to
what he had done, the gentleman
turned the fears of those present
into mirth when he replied:
II just ran through that d
door, what's the damage, | will
pay it'?
The gentleman who pulled off
the spectacular plate glass plunge
was I. E. Winstead, of Neshoba
county, a chicken dealer. He
had stopped his team in front of
the cafe, unhitched the trace
chains, and entered with a case
of eggs. While on the inside of
the cafe the team, it appears,
had swerved slightly to aposition
over the Fifth street electric car
track. Suddenly the clang of the
bell on an approaching car was
heard, the gentlemen looked to.

hesitation he dashed for the
team, his eyes being concentrat-

the glass through which he was
looking and went through it like
a shot out of a cannon, and the
crash Of the falling glass, which
was a half inch thich, could De

The amazement of the gentle
man when be had realized what
he had done was ludicrous and
the crowd roared with laughter
when he declared he thought he
was running through the door
that he had entered.
In a few minutes following the
crash of the falling glass the
was blockaded with curious
people, all of whom joined in
the merriment when they learn

Several weeks ago it was represent

DR.. Stitt has just ma lie public the

that when the public health service
