them he was sorry for them and gave
them some good advice, but it was his
duty to pass sentence upon them for
their offenses. And it was fourteen

the pathetic part. Mothers of two of
the boys came up with tear-flled eyes
to the prisoners dock where the boys
were and talked to them and caressed
them; then after q few minutes the
mothers went out Of the court room

Mrs. r. E. Steele

1t becomes the writer's sad duty to
chronicle the death Of Mrs. Georgia Ann
Miller Steele, which occurred at her
home May II. Mrs. Steele had been
suffering from a severe stroke of par
alysis since Sept. l3, 1913, which had
rendered her an invalid for almost three
years. She bore her suffering with
Christian fortitude, always willing that
''the Lords will be DONE" She was
attended by number Of our best ply
sicians, but this dreadful disease could
not be managed.
Mrs. Steele was born March /, 1916.
She joined the Presby terian church in
her early womanhood. She lived con-
sistent member Of same until her death.
Mrs. Steele was very enthusiastic in
Sunday school and missionary work.
She had gentle disposition; to know
her was to love her. She was ever
mindful to entertain strangers. We
thank God for the lives of such noble
women.
Sister Steele, we II surely miss thee
But the thought of heavenly meeting
Is the sweetest thought to know.
She was married to Capt. r. E. Steele
April q, 1869. To this marriage was
born three daughters, namely: Emily
and Emma Love, who died when very
young, and Miss Rosa, who died at the
age of II. $50 mother and daughters
are united just over the river.) There
was also born to Mr.. and Mrs. Steele
five sons, who survive her, with their
father. The sons are: Messrs. j. e. M,
c. M. and j. F., Pickens; j. E. Steele,
indianapolis, Ind, and DR.. w. H. Steele,
Jackson, Ga. No mother could boast Of
five more loyal sons. Mr.. j. F., the
youngest son, patiently answered her
every call during the days of her in
validism and cared for her tenderly as
she cared for him in infancy.
BY her request funeral services were
conducted by Rev. B. F. Murphree, as
sisted by her pastor, Rev. Wallis. Amid
large concourse of sorrowing relatives
and friends the remains were laid to rest

and her three daughters.
We would commend the grief stricken
ones to the Omniscious One who worketh
all things for good to them that love
Him. 1t is sweet consolation to know
that 'sthe Lord loveth whom he chas-
teneth."

His image stamps my brow
Thru the shadow of death my feet have

"No sins, no grief, no pain
Safe in my happy home;
My fears all fled, my foes all slain,

Then why should your tears run down,
Or your hearts he sorely riven?
For another gem in the Savior's crown,
And another soul in Heaven
