The Republican leaders would be so
glad If they could erase the name
and achievements of the great Wood

eral of Mrs. Kirk Savage at Carthage
Wednesday. Mrs. Savage, as Miss
Bessie Scruggs before her marriage
to Kirk Savage June 8, 1910, was
a frequent Visitor in this community
and MAS universal favorite, her
death Coming so untimely brings I'M
usual sorrow, with mature Judgment
Happy and home. flowing, she, with her
husband, as members of the Peyton's
Greek church, walked hand in hand,
each assisting and encoura ging the
other in the rearing CT their two chill
dren, administering to- the necessity
of the poor and otherwise serving the
Master. The remembrance of their
travel together along the road of
great usefulness will ever remain
blessed thought to the loved ones and
neighbors. No words CT praise sno-
ken of Mrs. Savage in the presence
of those who knew her would be con-
sidered fulsome. Her whole life de-
serves the highest commentator.
Her death was precious in Gods
sight because her abiding faith in
His power to take care of her in life
and DEATH made her life precious to
God. Words of comfort spoken and
written were received by the bereaved
family from friends near and far A
profusion of fragrant flowers, con-
Veying messages of love and sympathy

The faiTest and purest fresh blown
bloom, plucked from the finest gar

preciated than was the life of this
good woman, the fragrance of whose
kindly deeds permeates the communi-
ty and sets in motion influences for
nobility that will live forever.
