MRS. FANNIE c. DOM1NICK.

the funeral of Mrs Fannie C. Doml
nick at Cross Roads Baptist church
en- Wednesday, a mention of whose
death at hospital in Columbia and
a sketch of whose life was made in
The Herald and News on Tuesday
Sad, because death is at all times sad
There is peculiar sadness to me al
ways in the death of wife and
mother. Even when she has been per-
lnitted to see her children grow to
mans and woman's estate. No man
can suffer a greater loss or a greater
trial than the death of a good and
true wife with whom he has walked
Up and down the highway for so many
veqrs. 4 pleasure, because I believe
the bereft husband, Mr.. !. Simpson
pominick, and the sorrowing children
who have lost their best friend, were
CAD that came. They have beea
my friends for many years and forty
years or more Mr.. Dominick has been
a reader of and subscriber to The
Herald and News. In fact, it is part
Of the family circle and mourns with
those who mourn.
One can always feel young so long
as mother lives, it matters not how
many years he may have left behind,
because when he goes to the old home
stead he can be a boy again. Tired
Of life's strenuous striving, the grown
child. who in her eyes is child still.
GOES back to mother and his cares
are smoothed out, his faith in the
goodness of things renewed and his
hopes given new lustre. Whose coun-
sci. after ell, is so good as mothers
hard sense? Who is SO wise and 50
just and so gentle?"
.eWho ran to help me when I fell,
And would some pretty story tell,
o. kiss the place to make it well?
My mother"
Too often I fear sometimes, in the
husy rush of this strenuous world we
do not appreciate mother as we
should, or. ratherII should say, we do
no., let her know that We do, and
wait until it is too lace to speak the
kind words and do the little things
that would make her heart glad- and
we forget that cher price is far above
rubies." Strength and honor are
hor CLOTHING; she openeth her mouth
with wisdom: end in her tongue is
the law of kindness. Her child
rem arise up and and call her blessed:
her husband also, and he praiseth
her. Give her the fruit Of her
hands and let her own works praise
her in the gates" And when she
goes to join "the choir invisible Of
those immortal dead who live In
minds made better by their presence >
then. too often, we only begin to fully
realize the priceless treasure Of q
good mother.
Fortv-one years ago the coming
18th Of October Mr.. J. Simpson Dom
mick led to the sacred altar Miss
Fannie C. Moore, a sweet girl of or
sixteen summers, and during all these
voars thev have trod life's path 70
gether. enduring its hardshins and en-
loving its pleasures. They have been
peculiarly blessed, for durng all these
wears death has never entered the
home. and they have reared 8 robust
and healthy young men and fou"
daughters. and were permitted to see
them grow into young manhood and
womanhood, and most of them have
settled near the parental home and
established homes OF their own. 1t IS
rot often permitted to a family to go
for forty years without vacant
chair around the fireside. All the
children were present except the lao
