Singleton i John C. Singlton was
born in Pickens county, S. C.,
Jan. 27th, 1830, and died at his
home in Forsyth county, Geor
gia, April 10th, 1919.
Bro. Singleton served his day
and generation well. He served
his country in the civil war with
Lee’s army in Va. He joined the
M. E. church south in 1861, in
which he lived and served un
til the day of his death. He was
a member of the quarterly con
ference for about fifty years, &
during these years he served
the church either as trustee,
steward or Sunday school Su
perintendent, and was faithful
to the trust committed to him.
In his later years he was very
much interested in the young
people, and left with them his
exhortation, prayers and bene
diction. He was a kind, loving
husband and father, and also a
good neighbor.
He leaves a wife and six chil
dren who weep, but not as those
who have no hope, but with joy
looking for the resurrection
when parents and children will
unite in the home beyond the
skies.

In Loving Memory.
Of my dear sister, Mrs. Net
tie Nichols who departed this
life Oct. 26, 1914. She was 21
years, 10 months and 20 days
old when th Lord called her to
rest. She joined the Baptist
church at Friendship in 1909,
and lived a true Christian life un
til death. Nettie was a good
girl and loved by all who knew
her. She was the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. L. L. Hansard, &
was married to Arthur Nichols
in 1911. She was a loving wife
and Arthur seemed to think so
much of her. Oh, how it filled
our hearts with sadness to stand
around her bed and see her suf
fer so much, and she is missed
by all who knew her. Just be
fore she died she said ‘mama 1
love you’ and it breaks our
hearts to think of her being
gone from us. All was done for
her that loving hands could do
but the Lord giveth and the
Lord taketh away, blessed be
the name of the Lord. . >. v <
Nettie was laid to rest in Roa
noke cemetery, Rev. J. W. Mill
er conducting the funeral ser
vices. She leaves a father, moth
er, six brothrs and four sisters
and a good husband to mourn
her departure. Nettie is sweetly
resting in the arms of her bless
ed Savior, and if we live as we
should we will strike hands a
gain with her in that beautiful
home not wade with hands.
Thou art gone, we miss thee
Nettie and our loss we deeply
feel, but in heaven we will meet
you where no farewell tears
are shed. A loving one from us
is gone, a voice we loved isstill
ed, a place is vacant in thehome
that never can be filled..
Written by her sister,
Mrs Dessie Brannon.

HAW CREEK.
The first Suday in November
has come and gone, and what
have we done for the Lord? in
answer for what He has done
for us? W eought to think of
our duty to Him who has done
so much for us. When we were
a lost sinner and without God
and no hope in the world when
Christ heard our prayers and
saw our teais and had compas
sion on us and fogave our sins
Oh, how consecrated we ought
to be to Him for His loving kind
ness to us, but we find ourselv
es going after the things of the
world and that on Sunday when
we ought to be serving Him
with all our hearts, mind and
strength, but oh how sad it is
to see our people going after
the Gods of the earth.Webelive
that automobiles is the God of
the world today when they coul
be used aa a blessing to go to
chprch & Sunday -school but in
stead of using them right they
are being used for pleasures of
the world. The Lord wants us
to have pleasure but let our
pleasures be in righteosness &
then we can feel our acceptance
of him, and we ought to feel
mean when we let the devil
lead us instead of the Lord that
bought us with His precious
blood. How sad it is to see the
distance that some of God's chil
dren are standing apart when
tells us to be of one mind and of
one accord ; but alas how sad it
is to see how easy it is to see
some of our church members
give up and say there is no use
to try. Of course, Satan is al
ways seeking whom he may
hinder and keep them from do
ing their duty in the church. I
want every Christian in Haw
Creek settlement to just think
of the lost in our bounds and to
ask God to help us and increase
our faith so we can take hold of
a prayer meeting and Sunday
school every Sunday, and in this
way we can help our pastor to
preach the gospel with more
power and make him feel that
we are co-workers with him in
the church work. Let us all
think about this till our next
meeting day and see how we
feel about <ftr duty.
