Miss Georgia Kennedy Dead.

Miss Georgia Kennedy, youngest child
Of Mr.. John L. Kennedy Of the Belleview
section of Abbeville County, died at Silver
Street, New Mexico, after a long illness.
She was about twenty-five years Of age.
Miss Kennedy had been in bad health
for several years. She spent about a year
at Asheville, N. c., and from there went to
Silver Street, New Mexico, where she re-
NAMED for about two years. Her remains
were brought to Abbeville yesterday, and
were taken to Long Cane, where funeral
services were held.
Miss Kennedy's long illness has cast Il
continuing shadow over the lives Of her
parents; but in all the weeks and weeks
Of hopeless waiting she has faced the in
evitable with that resignation that is born
only Of a Christians faith. Like a star
shut out from its sisters by intervening
clouds, she has shed the greater light in
the smaller sphere. Wherever she has
gone, she has been loved for her gu alities
Of gentleness, meekness and considera ton
for others.
While the death Of the young is always
shocking, it is not without its reward. 1
is written Remember now thy Creator
in the days Of thy youth, while the evil
days come not, nor the years draw nigh,
when thou shalt say, 1 have no pleasure in
them" There are such days in every long
life; days when life becomes a burden.
To live only in the morning of life is to
enjoy all the freshness and beauties Of
youth without mourning the penalties of
old age. But death will always have its
terrors for those who mourn the loss Of
dear ones. Mankind els of the earth,
earthly" The family tie is the closest Of
earthly relations, and few if any of us can
fully comprehend reunion in the great be-
yond. The human heart must ever bleed
when earthly ties are severed. 1t is nat
ural. Though one may say in the Ian
guage of Holy Writ, 1T is we'll with the
child" we can aot and we would not sup
press the sweet memories of our departed
loved ones, though every thoughts barbed
with bitter disappointment.
