church, to which she was devoted and
ever faithful. She was one of the
most beautiful and lovable young wo-
men we ever saw. Her disposition
was as pure as the dew of Hermon
that descended upon the Mountains of
Zion, and her modesty was as refined
as the maidens of queen. We weep
with all the bereaved ones, but our
confidence in her security is unshak-

told her husband short while before
she died that if the Lord called her
away from the world she was ready
to go and be with Him.

NEWS NOTES AND COMMENT
UnionMeeting to be Held at smyr-
na-Death of MIR. j. M. Taylor
and Mrs. Lucy A. Pitman.

Correspondence of The Robesonian.
Lumberton, r. 5, Dec. 15-Christ-
mas is the next station.
Winter has really begun to assert
itself.
Z Apart from the sugar shortage,
nothing else seems to be wanting in
the grocery department of our Lum-
berton merchants. go
The program committee has a most
attractive outline of suggestions ar
ranged for the union meeting at
Smyrna. We hope to have good wealth
,er and also that the speakers will be
present with their guns well spiked.
It gives us great pleasure to welcome
The union to Smyrna, as it is one of
the very best churches in the associa-
tion. The house recently has received
a new coat of paint, and the brethren
have taken up the stumps that have
been an eyesore for long time. The
new three-room scholo building is
nearly completed, the lights and desks
only are lacking. 1t is an object of
which the entire district has cause to
be justly proud.
: We are deeply grieved over the very
sad departure from this life of our
young friend Mr.James Morrison Tay-
lor, which occurred at the home of
1or, of the Beulah section, Thursday
morning. He was a most excellent
young man of about 27 years of age.
We rejoice that he came into the
Kingdom of our Lord under our min
lstry and was baptized into the fell
lowship of the Beulah church about
ten years ago. We do not recall that
he was ever absent from a single
church meeting. He was as modest
as girl, and had disposition that
won for him the admiration of all who
knew him. Weep not, dear loved ones,
your boy has only crossed the Rubi-
con of life and is safe in the sunny
climes of cloudless sky, where all
rs health, happiness, joy and love.
The passing of Mrs. Lucy Annette
PItman, which occurred at her home
at Boardman Tuesday afternoon, is
nmspeakably sad. She was about 21
years old and had been married one
year, two months and ten days. In
terment was made in the family bury
ing ground near Bellamy Thursday
morning at o'clock. It was to take
place at 3 o'clock Wednesday but ow-
ing to the coating of snow upon the
earth, which made travel difficult, the
hearse could not get there until a late
hour In the night, and for this cause
the funeral was postponed until a lat
er date. Mr.. w. B. Parnell kindly
consented to conduct brief service at
the grave as we could not remain ov-
er to look after it. Mrs. Pitman leaves
a young husband, Mr.. Dan Pitman;
= father and step-mother, Mr.. and
Mrs Condary Annette; two brothers
and four sisters to mourn her un,
timely departure, besides a host OF
other relatives and friends. She was
converted to Christ and was baptized

appreciably narrower. They measure
