A good woman is gone, Mrs. Don
ME Clark, mother of Miss Barbara
Clark, one of the Globes good sub
scribers, died April 26, 1917 On her
farm near Howell, Tenn. Mrs. Don
ME Clark, was one of the most prom
inent women of the race, her funeral
took place from the Baptist Church
Of that place last Friday at $3.50 p. m.
It was one of the most largely at
tended funerals ever held in Howell,
Tenn, due to her wide acquaintance
and popularity. The funeral services
were conducted by Rev. Words, his
son and others. Many beautiful things
were said by them about this great
and good woman. Her husband, who
departed this life several years ago
was worthy husband, for he made
the needed preparation for her on
earth by leaving her beautiful little
two miles out from Howell, Tenn, and
4 miles of Fayetteville on the Peters
burg pike. When man comes to die
matters not how much religion he
has, if he says he is ready to go, and
made no preparation for his family,
he leaves behind him, he made mis-
take by saying he is ready to go, for
he lis not. l will say more on that
subject later. Mrs. Clark's remains
