Florence, Miss, Nov. 6, 1917
The Monterey community and
the surrounding neighborhoods,
in unison with the Monterey
people, felt their hearts deeply,
sadly touched in sympathy for
Walter Alliston and family when
it was announced that Miss Alice
Allistoo, a most estimable young
woman, and the only daughter
of Walter Alliston, had departed
this life for a sweeter and a
happier one beyond this vale of
tears and sorrows. Miss Alice's
soul took it's flight from it's tene-
ment of clay at $3.50 a. m. on
Monday, the 5th inst, and in
the presence OF a vast assembly
Of loving friends of the family
her body was la i'd to rest in the
Monterey cemetery after dusk
that day. Rev. Mr.. Watkins,
president of N[illsaps College,
and warm personal friend of
Mr.. Alliston's family, (of Miss
Alice especially officiated at the
solemn-services- Miss Alice was
a student at Millsaps for the
current session, boarding in
Vaughn Watkins comfortable
home. She was taken with i'll
ness while at the College. which
turned out to be typhoid tever.
She had the best and the most
thoughtful and careful attention
and nursing in, and by, the Wat
kins' families. She began to
improve and had progressed in
health, so much so that she was
considered safe fir ON danger and
her physician had dismissed her
as a case. Her loving father
brought her to his home that she
might convalescelace rapidly un-
der the influence of home sur
roundings. But in a few days
the dear young woman took q
relapse, became very i'll again,
and with every loving attention
and physicians skill she sank,
and her great master above
called her sweet spirit away
from earth to himself.
emphatically call the atten-
ton OF the christian people of
Rankin county to the fact that
the several railroads of the state
will run free cars during this
month to gather up foods, cloth
ing and so forth, for the use and
comfort for the winter, of the

ing of that day, on its way to

eral hearts within them, be sure
to carry, with a willing mind, :"
to these depots whatever than

good woman in each neighbor-
hooJ take this matter in loving
hands and see to it that her
friends contribute to this worthy
cause, and deliver the things to
the nearest depot early in the

something to eat and wear that
can be used in any Wellregulated
