Death Comes Suddenly

Mrs. Mahala Stevens, an aged
aged and respected lady of Pine
Creek, a sister of Wesley Elliott.
of this place, died at her home
last Friday of heart trouble. AL
though she complained some of
sickness when she arose that
morning it was not believed that
the end was so near. She ex-
pired suddenly at three o'clock.
Mrs. Stevens was the widow
of the late Sanford Cunningham
who died several years ago. She
was sixty-six years of age.
For a number of years Mrs.
Stevens had been a member of
the M. E. church at Mt. Zion
She was prominent in all church
work and her efforts for the adj
vancement of Christ's cause will
be sadly missed throughout the
entire community.
Eight children survive, as fol-
lows: Edward, Sidney, Elliott,
Ely, Rachel, Effie, Esta and
Rose. Another son, Arthur, died
a few years ago.
Funeral services were held at
the Mt. Zion church Saturday
by Rev. B. F. King, following
which the remains were laid to
rest in the cemetery there.

Ohio, has sailed on the u. S. S.
Prairie for Haiti to join the ex-

hostile Cacos in that war-ridden
land.
Albert, who is a son of Perry
G. Helmic, of Losie, this county,
had just been turned over for
duty" when the order came to
embark on the Prairie, and.
since it came so early in his en-
listment, it quite likely that his
entire four years will be crowded
with adventure. Marines serve
both on land and sea in all parts
of the world, and it is to the
'sea-soldiers" the venturesome
youth. in quest of excitement,

Press dispatches from Haiti
state that the Cacos are again
actively defiant despite their
promise to lay down arms.
