lonely and sad

The sad news was waited In by
wire Wednesday afternoon, March !.

KILLED In an auto. lobile accident
about the noon hour. He was re-
turning from Moss Point where he
had been IN company with Jno. S.
Kittrell of his community, Greene
County, MISS, when he lost control
of his car Che had been drinking
some his companion stately about
seven miles from Mobile, and it
turned over pinnlng his head beneath
the stearing wheel and breaking
his neck and also pinning Kittrell
to the ground but the latter only
suffered some bruises. Some men
from nearby field and from two
passing cars assem- bled and released
Kittrell and carried him to town to a
hospital while the remains of poor

sent out on the Kaysee to his home

MRS. B. E. GREEN.

Fursishedl
Mrs. B. <. Green, who was born
on January the 10Th 1880, died at
her home in McLain. Miss, Jan. 18th
1916 leaving to grieve her loss a hus-
band, father, three brothers, one
sister and six bright little children,
besides these she leaves a host of
friends in New Orleans, La, where
she spent her girlhood days.
The death of Mrs. Green brought
the deepest sorrow and the greatest
loss that could have come, as she
was capable and loving mother 10
her six little and a true helper and
companion to her husband. No tie
of home was ever broken that
causedemore grief and loss because
love and devotion was the daily prac-
tice of husband and wife. She was
always careful to help the poor a
round her and was true nelghbor
to the people, MANY times We hear
them expressing their deep regret
and loss they sustained in her death,
Mrs. Green was member OF the
church and for many years has born
the fruits of a true christian and
while her loss can not be reckoned in
this world we must submit to the
Lords call and realize that there is
gain in that world where we will
suffer no more separations. Our
tenderest sympathy goes out to the
husband and children who are so
lonely and sad.
