PAHSKI) 11Y THE SOUTHERN' FEMALE
COLLEGE ON THE DEATH OF
MRS. M. J. MORGAN.
It is with deep sympathy that
wo olTor this trilni'e to t le memo
ry of our dear old friend and col
lege sister, Mrs. M. J. Morgan,
who loft us on Wednesday, March
20th 190f), for a hotter life beyond
the material world.
We knew Mrs. Morgan as a true
friend to our Institution; and,
indeed, a friend to all who kuow
her. She was loved and revered
for what her Christian life made
her. She seemed to accept every
nflliotion ns a blessing in disguise,
and to see the hardness and gross-
ness of life through a kind of ce
lestial glory. Patient, forbearing
through every trial and vicissi
tude she was an imperishable ex
ample for those about her.
Mrs. Morgan was the oldest liv
ing graduate of the S. F. College,
and we are deeply touched in
parting with this dear woman,
but wo know the parting is not
forever. Some ouy, we hope to
meet her taoe to face in that
Heavenly home.
As she was a friend and student
of our Institution, we desire to of
fer the following resolutions:
Resolved: First, that this col
lege suspend all exercises during
the funeral hour, and that the
pupils attend the funeral in n
body.
Second, that we thank Him for
the honor of claiming as our
friend and pupil this pure, noble
woman whose love and interest m
our college never failed.
Third, that we tender our deep
est and tenderest sympathies to
the bereaved son and other rela
tives who mourn their loss.
Fourth, that we request The La
Grange Graphic and The La-
Grange Reporter to publish these
resolutions. Signed by

potted plants.
In the dining room, where ice
tea and a delicious salad course
was served, the color motif of
lavender, pink and green was ar
tistically carriecLout.
In the center of a large table
around which wisteria was grace
fully caught so as to form a
freize, ice ten was served from a
beautiful punch howl. Placed
nround this, pink tapers shaded
with pink wore used most effec
tive lv
(Quantities of wisteria and lilac
were used every whore among the
green foliage, making the scene

anthropic work.
His true charity, his achieve
ments and firmness of principle
were all beautifully protrayed by
his pastor.
Dr. Bradfield responded, as
suring the pupils of the high ap
preciation with which this
volume would he treasured. Mrs.
James Bradfield then sang with
much feeling, “Have You
Sought.” On Sunday evening at
7 :80 o’clock, Dr. Bradfield gnve a
