sorrowing, he was very attentive. Many, very many of
this class of persons, living and dead, will rise up, when the
all-revealing day shall come, and call him blessed. That
eminent man of God, father John Veasv, was all his life a
neighbor and intimate friend ; together they visited the sick,
relieved suffering, and supplied the wants of the destitute.
They were for 30 years associated as deacons in the church
at Powelton: often did they take sweet counsel together
about the honor of God and the good of man ; often did they
mingle their tears and their prayers; often did they mourn
over the evil of sin, anil rejoice'in the triumphs of grace, i
They were co-lahorers in the vineyard of the Lord, each ful
filling faithfully the duties of the sphere in which Providence’
had pliir i !' : ,u. (!ily a few weeks ago, Mr. Vcusy ‘re

Died, in Elbert county, Gri., on the 13th dpv of Decem
ber, 1847, after an illnlss of only o days, Mrs. Lqgjy Bow
ers, wife of Win. Bowers, Esq. She was a member of the
Baptist church at Henry’s, and proved, by her consistent
deportment and Christian conversation, that she fully lion nvd
her profession. Sister Bowers was the daughter of Thomas
Haines, Esq., mid in all the relations of daughter,'§l ster,
wife and friend, was peculiarly interesting. Siio has left an,
affectionate husband and,an only son to mourn her Joss. 1
During her short illness, sister Bowers manifested perfect
Christian resignation to the will of heaven, endured lier gf.l
fiiction with becoming fortitude, having full confidence in
the assurances and promises of tiro gospel. She expressed
repeatedly her willingness to die, conversed freely with the
many friends that waited arounddier dying couch, and used
frequently, while dying, those beautiful lines of the poet:’
“Jesus can make a dying bed feel soft ns downy pillows
are;” and, indeed, breathed her life out sweetly on the
breast of her Baviour. B. T.
Died, of pneumonia,, at bis residence, near Blakely, on
the 6th of December, Geo rub W. Alexander, in the 30tlr
year of bis age. leaving a bereaved wife and four children to
mourn tlioir irreparable loss in the death of a most indulgent, 1
kind and affectionate husband and father, besides a large
circle of friends and relatives. But they sorrow not ns those;
who have no hope, tor they know that their loss is his eter
nal gain. He bad, several years ago, sought and found the
pardon of his sins through faith in Christ, and attached him
self to the Baptist church at Blakely, of which he continued
an orderly and acceptable member until his death. Qu!
died in the fulhissurance of a blessed immortality beyond the
grave, expressing, to the last moment, that death had no ter
rors for him. “Oh, that wo ntay all die the death ot the
righteous, and that our latter end may be like his.” i

last, Lucinda A. Stewart, aged 18-years and 6 months. j
“ When blooming youth is Snatched away
d*Mtih’i restaties* hand, j
Out litiurta tlie mournful tribute pay
Which pity must demand.’*
Upon the aged and infirm the coming of death must be re
garded as solemn and awful; but when the young and buoy
ant are .made the victims of its povvef, lioiy very etartling
and appalling is the mournful serine f When ail whs .bright
and promising, and usefulness and longevity seemed to be
inevitable, loathe destroyer came and snatched the dear
daughter away, to clothe her family ana friends in the deep
est uiouruing, With,regard toJier future prospects, she af
forded testimony of acceptance whir God, and exhorted fer
vently her friends to meet her in Brother B. Stew
art is known extensively in .Georgia andf,Alabama, having
many friends in both States, (whose daughter the,young la
dy was,) and, wiieatbey read this notice of ills adiietion,
will, doubtless, he ready to mourn with the disconsolate
family. A. N.. W.

Anglin and dnoelner of James and Dorcas-Mitchel, aged a
little over 26 years, leaving an infant. 2. months and 13 days

years, appeared perfectly resigned, and gave full testimony
that, according to her own words, she was about to make u
happy exchange. I. £>.

Died, in Monroe county, on 20th ult., of congestive fever,
after a short illness, Mrs. Sopiiiah. Benton, wife of John
Benton and daughter of Win. Jackson, in the 56th year of
her age.. Sister Benton was born in the State of North
Carolina ; she was married, when, young, in Georgia, to
John Benton, of Jones county. They were among the first l
that settled Monroe county, where they remained until her;
death. In the year 1828, she experienced a change oil
heart, and was enabled to receive Christ as her Saviour.
She joined the Baptist church in the fall of the same year,]
and was baptized by the Rev... Win. Henderson, pastor, of]
then Shilo, but now Mount Zion church. From that time t
until her death, she lived an exemplary member of the :
Baptist church. Few among the living or dead have been
more sound in principle and faith, or more devout in their
feelings, or more consistent in their lives, than she was. \
Iler sick neighbors always found in her a friend, and a :
nurse to administer to their wants. To her husband, who H
feels deeply his loss, and to her seven sons and to her ser- j:
vants, she was all that a wife, mother and a mistress could j
!be; to her relations and neighbors she was kind and obli-.j
Iging, and to her brethren she was a sisier, indeed, and well] .
|• beloved. As might have been expected in such, death, in;
ibis approaches, presented no terrorSte*She was willing to
depart and be with Christ, and for such we do not mourn as
those that have no hope. Sister Bentoif lived to see all of her J .
children united to the church of Christ j this was her great-]
];ost consolation when oil her death-bed. On calling to see; 1
her a short time before she died, she requested mo to pray |
tor her children, that they might not bring any reproach on;]
the cause of Christ, saying that it was very dear unto her,i ;
and exhorted her children and friends to live for God, to ,;
serve him, and meet her in heaven —that in health was the]I
‘time to seek God, and to prepare to meet him in peace. —
“ Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord.”

I Died, at his father’s residence, Lincoln county, Ga., on!
tho evening of the Bth instant, Mr. Isaac Hampton Davie,]
eldest son of Randolph and Sarah Davie, in the 31st year of
his age, leaving a wife, parents and brothers, to mourn his!
I early de|>arture and their loss, but bis eternal gain. The
deceased was reared from child hood, by Christian parents, in
i the nurture and admonition of the Lord, lived a moral life,;
’ endeared himself to all around him, arid departed, leaving 1 ]
testimony, in his last hours, that God was precious to him in
j the pardon ofhis sins, for Christ’s sake. His hist expressions]
were, that he loved God, trusted in Christ, his Saviour, and
did not fear to go to him. Thus has passed away one in the]
prime of life and usefulness. We mourn for our loss, but]
mourn not as these who have no hope ; tor, if we believe that
Jesus died, and rose again, even so them, also, which sleep in;
j Jesus, will God bring with him. J. C.
jj Died, in Tallapoosa county, Alabama, on the 261 bof Nov.
tj at his residence near the Georgia store, Mr, M'm. I\>weu.,
‘jin the 58th year ofhis age.
The deceased was a member of the Baptist church, and]i
had been tor thirty years, and the patient eudurabco of his'|
! protracted illness, and the blended composure and faith which]
triumphed, over the pains of his dissolution, evinced that his:;
union with the church was notan external one; but that lie]
1 t)i#n became, a component part'd that great spiritual, house
j • wliicli is builded on tho rock, Jesus Christ.
1 The Christian who relies upon tho all-sufficiency of God,’
and on the promise “as thy day is so shall thy strength be,’”
believes that lie will impart a giace to live and a grace to die, j
‘will discover a realization of that promise, and a ground for
that reliance, in such adeatli as that of Mr. Dowell's. The
writer oT this brief notice has been intimate with Mr. Dowell]
fer twenty-five years, and be is certain he never heard a dis- j
.respectful word, but to tho contrary, has often hoard him spo-]
keppfas an honest mail, a kind and tender husband, and an
[affectionate father and a good master. But lie is gone, and
i[llie writer thinks without leaving an enemy upon the wide
earth. The writer will here stale for the encouragement offi
tlie relations of the deceased, that he boro his last illness with
Christian fortitude, and has gone in triumph to his reward ini;
Heaven. C. D. M. I
j Died after a lingering illness of four months, at the resi-;]
donee of her father in Du Kali) county, on the Kith ult-, Miss :
f Nancy L. i jßonnek, aged 16 years. iShe was taken Irony
! Ifer home and friends in the biuom of life. The decree was
1 made, the cruel Misseiigcr sent forth, and Death, tho great
I fev'eller of ail mankind, came and snatched tho young and ]
beautiful away from earth and things of time. She bore the j
thought with that Christian fortitude which warrants the con
, elusion that though dead, she yet lives where the hurpsof
Angels are full strung, and the smile of a Saviour welcomes
, the spirit that now mingles with earthly things no more fore
. ver. Joy to that spirit now in distant worlds, and sanctifica
tion to those of her friends and relations left behind ! S.
