The death Of Mrs. jamie Sanders,
which occurred atthe home of her
daughter and son-in-law, Mr.. and
Mrs. j. Whit Grant, of Walhalla. on
Dec. 27th, 1921, at about1. 10 O'Clock
a. m., brought pail of gloomi not
only to those nearest and dearest to
the deceased, but to all far and near,
who knew her. =
Mrs. Elizabeth Jane Sanders was
daughter OF the late Mr.. and Mrs.
j. T. Ellenburg, who lived in North
Carolina. She was born Jan. ttl,
1840. Had she lived until Jan. 11lh
Of this year she would, therefore,
have been SO years Of age. On July
4th. 1856, she was happily married
to Elijah Sanders, who preceded her
to the grave about twenty years. TO
this union were born thirteen chill
dren, five OF whom are living-Mrs.
Joshua Barker, Of Salem; Mrs. d. S.
Childers, Of Greenville; Mrs. ]. w.
Grant, of Walhalla; Mrs. Maynard
Wigington, Of Birmingham, Ala, and
Mrs. Joe Cantrell, Of Salem. There
are also 40 grandchildren and 70
great-grandchildren, with hosts OF
other relatives and friends, left to
mourn her DEATH
. Truly mother in Israel has been
called to her reward. "Grandma," as
she was fondly known to those who
were familiarly acquainted with her,
was loved by ell. She was a good

Christian woman and will be missed
by all who knew her she was al
ways ready to minister to the needs
of the poor, to speak a word Of cheer
to the sad-hearted, and render as-
sistance wherever and whenever It
was within her power. Truly "5he
hath done what she could"
Twenty-Five years ago she united
with the Wesleyan Methodist church,
Of which she was member at Wal
halla al the time Of her dea tn. In
the passing Of Grandma Sanders tho
church has lost one Of its most con-
secrated members, the town and tho
community one OF It's best women.
Her life was a living example TO all
who knew her, and her influence as
Christian mother and sister will
live on and on.
The funeral services were held at
the home Of MIR. and Mrs. J.W. Grant
on Wednesday, Dec. 2Sth, at II q.
M, the service being conducted by
her former pastor, Rev. l.. II. Kel-
ley, Of Central. Her body was laid
to rest beside her husband in the
family burying ground. To the be-
reaved ones goes the sympathy OF
many in their hour Of sorrow.

Tho sponey Me.s Of Labrador.

The Spongy Mpss OF Labrador.
There was still plenty to see at Ma
tashquan and took a long walk, chief
ly in stunted spruces and In the bog
the barrens or tundras Of Labrador
which occupies SO much Of the country
in the sub-Arctic and Arctic zones. Au-
dubon says In his Journal: ITO tread
over the spongy moss Of Labrador 10 q
task beyond conception until tried; at
every step the foot sinks In q deep,
soft cushion which closes ever 1t, and
1t requires a good deal Of eIertion to
pull it up again. Where this moss
happens to be over a marsh, then you
sink q, couple Of feet deep every step
you take; to reach hare rock is delight
full, and quite relief. In another
place he says: ,"We crossed ga van.
nah OF many miles In, extent; IN many
places the soil seemed to wave under
US. and we expected at each step to 60
through the superficial moss carpet.
These descriptions are very ac-
curate. I should compare the labor to
that Of walking ir deep wet snow.

helpfulness Of the religious workers
of the group, The church where each
