Mans Fear OF DeaTh.

That which we term the fear Of
death in normal men and animals is
nm expression of their desire to live.
Were it not that this desire was deep
Iy implanted in all living things they
would soon disappear. This is shown
by the efforts made to end their lives
by those who have lost the desire to
live. And losing it they lose fear con-
corning the future. AS rule they are
victims of perversion Of sense, a feel
ing which may be only transient or
continuing

In building up the community, in

He built two massive structures,
the first having gone up in
flames, but by the help of the
membership and friends of both
races he was able to erect the
second building and parsonage
which stands as a living monu-
ment to his memory. He was
ever grateful to his white friends
for their generosity in assisting
the church. 1t is conceded by
all that his work in the coinmun-
lty was of untold help in the de-
velopement of the religious and
civic standing of his people.
The family wishes to thank
their many friends for their kind

of their beloved husband and

While it is a fact that this

that Hickman would make an eff
fort for it; and, since we have
been advised of your action we
are ready to ally ourselves with
your forces and all pull together
for something great for Fulton
county. AT our regular board
meeting last night l was instruct

our intentions, and to state to

IF there is anything that we
could materially assist YOU IN

glad to have you advise us of
the fact, and remember that we
are at your service"
Ii is needless to add that the
business men and citizens of
Hickman In general are very
grateful to our friends at Fulton
for this spirit of cooperation.

These pictures are OF interest to both
young and old, and they are expected
to attract and instruct large numbers
