1t is sad to tell the news OF the
death of Ebert Lancaster, brother OF
E. D. Lancaster, who was instantly
killed by the train one week ago sun
day, near Ladd's Switch, which is
quite number of miles from this
place. He was nearly 20 years of age.
He went to Hazel, KY, in December
and married a widow woman with
three children. This makes the third
husband for her. The first one died
with consumption and the second one
got killed with lightning and the third
one Mr.. Lancaster, got killed almost
as quick as lightning by the Dixie
Flyer. He had been Waterman at the
Narrows about twelve years. His body
was carried to Bridgeport, Ala, to
the undertakers establishment, and
then was taken to near Jasper, Tenn,
for burial where his first wife is rest
ing. We all hope to meet him in
better world.
Believe HE, we cure had a fine pic
mic at Shiloh Thursday the 81. Had
several nice speakers and songs sung
by different classes from different
places, and the best of all there was
plenty of nice dinner for everybody.
Then in the afternoon the Shiloh in
FAINT class marched and the ''Star-
Spangled Banner" was sung and also
"America. They represented Amer
lea taking Cuba, while the "Star-
Spangled Banner" was sung the Gu
ban flag went down and the American
went up. am glad to say that every
thing went off nicely, but to nix 1t all
there was fine wedding sometime in
the afternoon near the picnic ground.
1t was that of Sim Gilley and Myrtle
West. Miss West was the daughter OF
MIR. and Mrs. Tom West Of near this
place. I wish them much joy and
long and prosperous life.
There was fine ball game Thurs
day evening, and as 1t is we'll known
Flat Rock beat them all.
Miss Ella Graham called on Alma
Miles Monday.
W. M. Page of Trenton, Ga, was
the guest of his sister, Mrs M. j.

They wore red, white and blue caps

with their exercises all right. j F.
Wooten's twin girls led the class, and
by rights the infant class won the
banner. After they sung the closing
song they all marched to lemonade
stand and MI. Loach gave them all
the free lemonade they could drink.

two thousand people there, and the
whole congregation had their pictures
