Card of Thanks.

In the darkest hours of our life
when it seemed that our hearts were
bursting with pain, when it seemed
that our little, girl had been muir
dered, then it was that our many
friends came to us with their hearts
full Of love, seeking in every way
possible to help us. And if it had
not been for those loving hearts, we
feel that our burdens would have
been unbearable. Friends and loved
ones, we cannot in any way find the
words to express the love we have
for you. We cannot find the words
to tell you how much we appreciate
the many kind deeds and the beauti-
full floral offerings. May God bless
you all, and when we arc called to
that Great Beyond, may we all be
able to meet our loved ones there.

the eight days at Union City We
were greatly pleased on Friday night at
the coming of 80 members of Central
Baptist Church OF Martin. They were
given very cordial welcome, and the
Union City saints decided there and
then to have big delegation some night
at the Martin meeting which commences
October 18th.
The singing at Union City was I'M
usually good under the efficient leader
ship Of DR.. J. D. Carlton and his estim-
able wife, who is an accomplished
pianist.
The prospects there strikes me as be-

In Memory Of R. 7. Maupin

Mr.. Editor: / was requested long
ago to write something about this
good citizen and great soldier, but !

BILE. / am now in my Saith year, al
most blind and my hand is shaky.
About SO or "a years ago, God gave
to this country, and to this people,
R. T. (Bob) Maupin to serve it in
it's highest and best interest, and af-
ter he had proven himself faithful
and true, he died. He was a good
citizen, he was a good neighbor, he
was a sood soldier He was a hero.
He was man. But now he is sleep
ing in the arms of his mother, and
the turf is smooth above him. The
rain will moisten it's roots and sum-
mon back the perishing life of it's
green bladed grass, and the crushed
flower will lift it's head again, smil-
ing unto heaven. His form is now
before me, with no trace of death in
its fine lineaments and there is faint
crimson on his faded old face. l can
feel the last grip of his hand, and
hear his last Goodbye, Tom" dis
tinctly, like living, breathing thing,
even when l know he is with the
dead and the damp earth hides him.
| would not think of him otherwise.
His image lives within my memory
as he seemed before he rested nobly,
with WEAKNESS and trials of life,
smiling on while poison mingled with
his springs of life, and wearing calm
brow, while in his heart anguish was
resting like hand of fire, until at
last the agony of thought grew I'M
bearable and the sufferer died. Let
him rest; let him sleep; and oh, may
the clods lie lightly on him.
