Mrs. Elizabeth Martin Rabb.

ASLEEP in Jesus, blessed sleep
From which none ever wakes to weep;
calm aud undisturbed repose,
Unbroken by the last of foes. !"
With the singing of these beautiful
words-and peculiarly true of herself
the mortal remains of this Mother in
Israel were laid to rest Sunday evening,
October 25th, at 5 o'clock, in dear old
Rocky Mount Cemetery, just back of the
old church, where she had worshiipped
50 many years. Her death occurred on
Saturday evening, the Gath, about 6
O'Clock at the residence of her grand
son, r. E. Wyche. Sick only week,
and surrounded by her loved ones,
everything was done to stay the grim
Reaper, but all that loving hands and
medical skill could not avail, and SO her
tired spirit took its flight! Mrs. Rabb
was in her seventy-eighth year. Her
parents moved to Rocky Mount at an
early day-coming from Winnsbboro,
| S. c., about 1851. She was united in
marriage to Col. j. w. Rabb-also OF
South Carolina--in 1859. OF this union
six children we're born three sons and
three daughters, three of whom live to
mourn her loss, and three having gone
before.
It was my privilege as a girl and as q
woman to live near Mrs. Rabb, so it il
/ not difficult for me to tell the story Of
/ her life, but it would be impossible te
The Bossier banner. [volume] (Bellevue, Bossier Parish, La.) 1859-1952, 1914-11-12

put into words the force OF the influence
of her life. Beautiful of face and grand
in figure and carriage-dignified-
made to show in society, yet hers was
the most quiet, loving and unselfish life
ever knew. In our troubles and sor-
rows, she was the one we always turned
to-and we were never turned away. It
seemed her mission in life to be peace
maker and comforter. Her love and
care was always for others. Unknown
beyond the limits of her own immediate
environments, taking more pride in her
home and Church than anywhere else in
the world, constantly busy with the
cares and burdens her own hospitable
spirit imposed on her, loving her Savior
and working for Him in her own quiet
way, she has sent her children forth
strong in her own faith, and multitudes
of these whose lives she has touched
rise up to call her blessed. Those whom
she has left to mourn her loss sorrow
"Blessed are the dead which die in the
Lord, from henceforth-Yea, saith the
spirit, that they may rest from their
labors, and their works do follow them"
1t seemed that her very presence in our
homes was benediction.
Mrs. Rabb lived to see not only her
children grown to useful and honored
manhood and womanhood, but also had
the added Joy of grandchildren and
great-grandchildren who were growing
up around her in her last days. When
the feebleness of age was growing upon
her the love and care which she had
given so freely and lavishly to others
were returned to her many fold. Oh!
How we all loved her, and my pen fails
in its task when try to tell of all her
good deeds and qualities.
No funeral service could have been
filled with more comfort than hers. AS
DR.. G. G. Woodbridge in his quiet, i'm
pressive way, spoke the words Of COM
fort to those left behind one realized it
was not time for grief, but rather OF
rejoicing, for soul so ripe for Heaven
had only to bid farewell to us here to
open her eyes in glory! Her casket, in
which her body lay in such evident
peace was covered with beautiful flow
ers, the gifts and proofs of love and
sympathy.
How her children will miss her, for
there is no truer saying than this, "God
gives US but one Mother" So to them
l will say, God help them to bear the
burden life now seems to be. God help
them to dare the duty that life must ever
be, and bow in submission and be able
to say: ''Thy will, not mine, be done.'
Light from its load the Spirit flies,
While Heaven and earth combine to say
How blest the righteous when he dies.

County Times, published at Brookhayen,

min S. BeaA, jr., of Lexington, Miss,

Mrs. Lipscomb and her daughter, who

scholarly young pastor at Starkville,

Tuesday, Nov. i0.-The Fair is over.
Did you get a premium?
Did you see the list of premium win
ners in last weeks Banner? If you find
an error in the list notify the Secretary
at once. We want everything right.
Mistakes may happen but can always be
corrected if called up in time.
Our exhibit arrived at State Fair on
time, and we were awarded third place.
You ought to see the State exhibit. We
are not ashamed of it.
We have had quite a lot of compli-
ments passed on our Fair this year,
which makes US feel as if our efforts
were not in vain.
Now is the time to begin for 1916 fair.
Our school exhibit was commendable
one. 1t is only the beginning of such
work. 1t shows what we can do. Next
years school work can excel this years
as far as this years did over 1918. We
want every school, both high and graded
to begin now to save up nice work. All
departments for display.
The Ladies' Department will need
more room next year.
The Domestic Science Club work did
not even have place in our catalogue
this year but we had three fine exhibits.
This calls for new department in our
1915 work.
We were sorry the Boys Corn Club
was not represented. We hope several
good clubs can be organized for next
year.
The Girls Canning Club work was
light. You can do better next year if
you try. Bossier ought to do as we'll as
any other parish in this line. See the
exhibit at the State Fair. It may make
you want to try harder.
Premium checks will go out after the
State Fair.
We are thankful to the Bossier Banner
for the free use of their columns in sup
porting the fair and are sorry they could
not attend. We had other good Boos-
tiers this year, also. We fully appreciate
every effort you put forth to help us.
We needed the help. We got it, too,
and we won.

How long Mistress Ching might have

Later he became a high official.
Mistress Ching and Paou saw the
