AN OBITU AIRY.

Monday morning, August goth, 1917,
at $50 o'clock, the home of Mr.. and
Mrs W. H. Smith of Oak Ridge, La,
was envcloped in deepest sadness
the hearts of loved ones and
friends were bowed in grief and tears
AS the precious spirit of Mrs Ellenor
Jane White winged its flight from earth
to Heaven.
For some time she had been failing in
health, but she was dangerously ill for
only few days. All that the kind
hands of physicians, loved ones and
friends could do was done, but alas!
God bade her come occupy the home
that awaited her.
Grandmother was born in Pickens
county. Alabama, November 18th. 1S4l.
She joined the Baptist church when
quite young girl. In 1851 she was
happily married to MIR. James White of
Pickens county, Alabama. She was
the mother of eight children three
boys and five girls only two of whom
survive her. Mrs w H. Smith of Oak
Ridge, La, and j. b. White of Noxu-
bee
She was noble christian lady. Her
greatest pleasure was in making others
happy She was never known to say a
harm word of anyone. Her pleasant
manner and sweet disposition won for
her the hearts of all who knew her.
therefore her death has caused great
sorrow, but our sorrows are palated by
the sweet thought that our loss is her
infinite gain, that all things work to-
gether for those who love God. and she
is now with the joyous group around
the great white throne in Heaven there
TO sing praises forevermore,
1t is said that in the mountains of
Switzerland sheep are afraid to go
through the dark passes in order to

having made the sale OF a Ford which
involved the smallest cash payment
ever made. a man came into the es-
adjustment desiring 20 purchase one
of the Universal Cars and the sale
was satisfactorily negotiated In IN
winding the red tape and prellmina-

as small an immediate payment as
