Mrs. MaGssa Richardson

West Nashville. Besides this
dau ,hter. she is survived by
one sister, Mrs. Luverne Cook;
five brothers, as follows: George
Dixon, Robt. Dixon, Mont Dixon.
Ira Dixon and W. L. Dixon. all
OF this county. Also a number
of grandchildren and numerous
relatives and friends.
A pure and noble Christian
woman has gone. But God has
freed her from all sickness,
sorrow and pain, and her soul
is resting in peace. The troubles
of her bosom cease, for Christ.
her Lord, has gatherd her unto
himself.
Her life, beautiful and pure,
because it was Christ.like, has
ended, making sad and desolate
the hearts of loved ones. But
the silver lining to the dark
cloud, is that, their loss, is her
gain.
She was source of happiness
wherever she went, and DUR
ing her illness and suffering,
she was the same bright, cheer
full Christian woman.
AS God in his ingnite wisdom
has seen fit to take her from
earth and loved ones, may He
give freely his strength and
grace to her distressed relatives,
that they may look beyond the
grave to the great White Throne.
where God himself, will greet
her, and all who love His ap-
pearing.
In this hour of sad bereave-
rnent, let us resolve, with a firm
endeavor, and strive to meet
her in that land of bright flow
ers and sweet perfume, where
the soul never dies.
Malissa remained conscious
to the last, and often spoke of
her being ready and willing for
the end. and in her dying hour,
looked, as it seemed, beyond
the grave, clapped her hands
and said, Blessed Be His
Name" /"
Her death is sad, so sad. But
it is not all dark. Rays of
light shine through it all. II is
a grand thought to think we
have relationship in heaven.
She has only finished her pill
grimage on earth. before we
have, and is over there building
up purer. nobler and grander,
waiting to tell us of her days in
heaven before we come.
She lived in jackson County
all her life. until about three
years ago, when she went to
Nashville to live with her daugh-
ter.
Her husband, Laton Richard
son. died several years ago.
She joined the Methodist
church when young, and lived a
consistent and devoted member
until her death.

NEARLY srRANDED IN THE STORM

Mfr. Editor and Social Corner Friends :
wish you all happy and prosperous

picious day for a pleasure party, even
for Social Corner gathering Neverthe-

is meeting. We all had q general good
time and a good dinner as usual. There
were six ladies from South Coventry
myself among the number. The storm
did not arrive here until about nine in
the morning. As my daughter and my
self were ready to go we went as we are
not accustomed to back out for small
things. But We had a hard time getting
home. We left Willimantic with the car
on schedule time, S.15, but the car
eouldnt make much headway on ae
count of the snow and ice which FORMED
so rapidly with the rain. When we got
within about .cne-half a mile of the viii
lage we were told the car couldn't go
any further SO we were left in the road
to go home as best we could. 1t seemed
to me I couldn't ever walk that distance
In that storm. fortunately an auto had
stopped just there and I begged a ride
home. i was allowed a seat with the
driver and my daughters sat on the bot
tom of the car and we were soon at
home, having been more than two and a
half hours on the road to get six miles.
The rest OF the passengers had to walk
so I think We. were very much favored.
I think the next time storm starts as
that did Will remain at home ana not
risk the chance of getting home.
I enjoy reading the letters in the Cor
Iter page especially those giving their
childhood reeollections Of Westminster
and Canterbury and those historic towns.
