IN MEMORY OF C. C. SINGLETON.

Three years ago Mr.. Singleton
bought farm two miles North Of Ju-
no and moved into our midst. Up un-
til that time few people of our CON-
munity knew him. His last days were
spent here. He was a man Of good
sound business principles. He bought
very fine farm and was a splendid
farmer. He was in good spirits and
the future to him looked promising
and hopeful. He was Industrious, pa
tient handwriting. For two years
everything went well and he and his
family seemed prosperous and happy
and abundant crops blessed their la
Dor. Everybody praised him and his
excellent family, his good boys and
girls and devoted wife-all did their
part in beautiful and loyal way and
lived happy and contented, and by
their kindness and good conduct had
won the love and confidence Of their
neighbors.
Mr.. Singleton was man who at
tended to his own business. He was
interested in everything good that
would help his country and was ever
ready to aid those in need and lend q
helping hand to the unfortunate. He
was good, obliging neighbor, kind
and honest in all his dealings with his
fellowman. Being so strictly honest
in every little detail, he has left be-
behind him a record that his neighbors
and friends will ever remember.
Last winter he had the measles
from which he never did recover. A
greater part Of the last year of his
life was on the decline. Three months
ago it was believed that he could not
long survive. He tried with all his
power to believe that he would get
well, until symptoms developed on
him and he was made to realize that
soon he must depart. He loved his
family so tenderly that he hated to
leave them. He knew how sad it would
be for them; how they needed his
counsel and advice.
/ had the pleasure Of seeing him
very often and at times he seemed to
want to tell me how anxious he was
about his family, and remember
how he would say II am ready any
time the Lord wants me; l don't mind
to 60; have no fears Of death"
When he got to telling how bad II was
to leave little children without faith
er, tears would run down upon his
cheeks. But God saw fit to relieve
him of his burden and called Kim Up 70
Heaven.
We can't understand death. It comes
and separates US from thoes most
dear to us It grieves our hearts to
say good bye to our loved ones. Yet
its the door through which we have
to pass before to reach our heavenly
home. $3.50
