POWDER SPRINGS.

The shadow of death again fell
over our midst Saturday night be-
tween II and IL o'clock and claimed
for its victim Miss Annie Ruth
Spratlin age 10 years, the only
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Will
Spratlin. She had lain sick for the
past ten weeks and had suffered as
no one but her knew, yet she bore
her suffering with much patience.
Everything that medical skill and
loving hands could do was done, but
we know that God does all things
well and that he never makes mis-
takes.
Miss Annie Ruth joined the Bap-
list church here five years ago, and
had been a constant attendant at
Sunday school since a little child.
It is very sad to think about and
hard to understand why God should
see fit to take this one, so young,
just entering womanhood, but we
must remember that when He doth
appear that these things that seem
SO unreal will be made plain.
Her funeral was at the Baptist
church Sunday afternoon at 8 o.
clock conducted by Rev Edwards
Buchanan. Annie Ruth is survived
by a father, mother and four broth
ers.
The many friends Of this dear
family deeply sympathize with them
in this sad bereavement.
Many relatives and friends from
a distance were present at the fun
eral.
The burial was in the city GEM
etery.
