When we neared the ground we
spied some good old negro women
down under the shady oaks peeling
potatoes, shucking roasting ears and
preparing rice and other things to
be cooked for dinner and in a snug
building already prepared with pit
built of brick were two negro men
of the Shaving type basting the juicy
fat lambs and pigs stretched over
red hot Goals and sending up flavor
that set your month watering and
put smile on your face.
Much valuable business was atten-
ded to. For about an hour there was

the Sand Bar Ferry and working the
road in the valley. Under an arrange

necessary to deposit thirty thousand
dollars in this bank, preceding the
preliminary formalities in relation
to this negotiation. When the matter
was explained by young Mr.. Davies,
in a few minutes the sum required

Two Sad Deaths.

The entire Meeting Street COM
munity was saddened last week when
the Death Angel entered the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Clint Hill and took
away their two youngest children,
Reeves and Sara Irene.
Reeves fell victim to that dread
full disease, diphtheria, about two
weeks beforehe died. His parents at
first did not realize that his case was
serious. They were hopeful that he
would recover but God knows best
and He saw fit to take him from
them.
In spite of all that the physicians
and his loved ones could do he sue
combed to the disease August 2.
He was a bright, promising child.
Just nearing his fifth birthday. He
was the hope and JOY of his parents,
and when he died their hearts were
saddened and their home darkened.
His friends and loved ones laid his
body to rest in Stevens Creek ceme-
terry, Tuesday afternoon, August 8.
Two days before Reeves death the
little baby, Sara Irene, took the dis
ease and it was only week before
she Joined her little brother in their
Heavenly home.
She was beautiful child, nearly
two years old. 1t is almost unbear-
able for the parents to give up their
two little darlings. 1t is hard to un-
derstand, but they must be resigr
to Gods will. He doeth all things
we'll.
Our hearts go out in deepest SYM
pathy to the parents and loved ones
in their bereavement.
