THE SANDERSV1LLE HER
At;{ o’clock in the morning August
. liW y i n t the residence of her hus-
' j ji r ’.T. T. Mills, the noble heart of
Jennie Mills ceased to beat for ever.
* i' tig liuman nature to exclaim, we
11 w»v “Hod took tl,e one in0Bt l 51 " 00 * 0118
*' 0 S ‘ r hearts.” Though her trials were
isiiy. and her afflictions of lou K stand-
m we believe that she had a sweet
iu Jesus, which was evidenced by
1] fact that she never lost sight of her
Saviour even during the hours of her af
motions
She was submissive to all that
,l,e went through with, and when the
[#gt came she was reconciled. Though
[nil of faith in Jesus as her Saviour,
religion claimed her soul and neither
ho skill of physicians nor the wishes
of friends and loving hearts, nor the
kind attention, anxiety and hope of a
devoted husband and children for her
recovery could turn aside the death
angel. With her as with all who have
gone before her no price could purchase
exemption from the common lot of hu
manity. The solemn hour iiad come
for all that was mortal of her to go
down to the dust.
She was the daughter of Green and
Frauds Smith of this county. She is
survived by her mother, two brothers
and two sisters. They are Mr. John R.
Smith of Teuuille, Mr. Henry Smith of
Harrison, Miss Lizzie Smith and Mrs.
Lockhart of near Saudersville. She
Wft8 tno mother of nine children, eight
of which survive her.
Though perhaps not so widely known
as aomo. due to the fact that she cared
not for notoriety, yet she moved in her
sphere of life, and always strove to
make her home a place of earthly hap
plness and was herself the ray of light
that made those with whom she came
in contact bright and cheerful. All
things being equal, we feel safe in
saying, “that no person ever lived a no
bier and purer life since we haw:, known
her. She was ever ready to lend a help
ing hand to those who were in distress,
regardless of their condition or standing.
The writer could mention several times
when she was a personal friend indeed,
not only by her acts of kindness but by
words of consolation.
The body was laid to rest in the ceme
tery at Mt. Moriah church, of which she
had for several years been a constant
member. Quite a number or relatives
and friends witnessed the sad occasion.
To those who are iu grief we would
lay, "that our loss is her gain, and that
we ought to try to emulate the ways of
onr fnend and loved one. Though on
aocount of sin we are unable to see why
God in his goodness and mercy should
mffer the deatfi angel to invade onr
homes and take one so precious to our
hearts, yet some time we will under
stand. A friend

Death of Nr. Joel
F. Tompkins.
Mr. Joel F. Tompkins wns born and
reared in Washington county; was
born Nov. 12th, 1847. and died August
21st, 1908, his age at the time of his
death being GO years, 9 months and 9
dkys.
He had been in poor health several
years, but his good will would not al
low him to give up until about, two
months ago, although he had not been
able to be out very much this whole
year. But for two months he had
been lighting between life and death
with that fatal disease, Consumption.
But at last the end of his time on earth
came and God called him home, we
hope, where there is r.o more sickness,
sorrow, pain nor death for him to
suffer.
Uncle Joel made a profession in the
faith ot Christ and was baptized in the
fellowship of the Tabernacle Metho
dist Church early in his manhood. NY e
hope he abided by the rules of the
Church, He did not seem to dread
death at all and pray ell to die. His
wife and children feel the sweet
assurance that he made peace with
God ere ne left them. So we say to
the bereaved ones: Grieve not. for
God knew best and had a better place
prepared for nim.
Why do we mourn departing friends,
( Hr shake at death’s alarms V
Tis blit the voice that Jesus sends
To call them to his arms.
Uncle Joe leaves a wife, eight chil
dren and a number of grandchildren
and a great many friends und relatives
to mourn his death.
The writer extends to the sorrowing
aunt and cousins her sincere condo
lence and commends them to the sym
pathizing Saviour
‘‘Asleep in Jesus,'‘blessed sleep,
From which none ever wakes to weep.

In Memoriam.
Dr. Rawlings wns once called Bill-
Just an ordinary country hoy—
But early headed tip the hill
His native genius to employ.
There are none of Sandersvilie’s sons
Of whom she is more justly proud,
Or to whom she more quickly turns,
h rom atlliction’s death-charged oloud
*
From the faltering pilgrim of silver
hairs
Down to the tots of childish glee;
Blithsome girlhood — men of gaily
cares—
Find here a long looked sympathy.
The cures which are here effected
Remind one of Messiami times.
YVho, hy this great doctor’s lidnds
His old-time power displays.
Far, far be it from this son of science
On that divine healer to reflect
By ascribing unto himself
What from God alone we expect.
» •
When chosen of God. and touched,
Like Solomon, the great of old,
AH his genius he gladly fetched,
And with it healing streams untold.
Of “the man with the hoe” you’ve
read;
“The man with the gun,” long rap-
pings ;
Here’s to the paragon of the knife—
Our friend, Dr. Wm. Rawlings.
You know of “Teddy” and his "Big
Stick,”
Cracking “trusts" and guilty “com
bines,”
But do you know our Big Bill,
Ringing aloud his "healing chimes?”
His “doper” is Dr. Henry Herrman,
Who gives the beguiling lotion,
So when you awake from gentle Bleep
You’re through with the operation.
After the knife, come hours of drib
dling,
Which arc coyishly beguiled
By Miss Katharine Stribbling.
With magic, like “ the girl who
smiled.”
The pains of the night are stood,
And that is very much to say ;
By the vigilant Mary Lou Hood,
Turning the sufferer’s night to day
Could I write a readable poem,
Or sing the soldier’s victory song,
Then you’d love a real heroine—
Our Miss. Sarah Verina J-dug,
Happily named “Princess,” is she
Verina, a sweet “moon-kiss t” vine
The pilot’s eye, with soldiers’ mien
Meet in her a healing shrine.
They have, too, “the girl of story
From whom sickness Hies — death
postpones.
A fixture in this Infirmary—
The ever thoughtful MiBS Mae Jones,
Over all the sick she has the care,
And with her faithful, helping band,
An angel of mercy—to and fro,
At suffering’s call, on every hand.
But I cannot preempt your sheet,
Nor could you give me time
To call the names of many who help
Him who rings the healing chime.
Long live this modern knight of the
knife!
Long abide this land-locked haven
Through the prayers of those he helped
May he rise at last in heaven.
On the evening of July 9th, 1908. the
rider of the pale horse came into the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Jim Sheppard at
Hebron, and took away the aged, Mrs.
Lucinda Cox, who had been a sufferer
lor a long time, having been confined to
her bed most of the time for the last
four or five years.
The writer visited her several times
during her long illness and she always
expressed herself as being ready and
waiting for the I^ord to call her up
higher. She was for many years a
member of Poplar Springs Christian
church, but at the time of her death
and for some years before was a mem
ber of Cabin Hill Methodist church
Mrs. Cox was born November 18, 183d
and on December 8, 1850 was married
to Mr. Y. A. Cox, whom many of the
older citizens of Washington eoun y
remember, and who preceeded her to
his reward several years. She died
July 9th, 1908, and the next day was
-aid to rest in the Poplar Springs ceme-
tery to await the resurrection morn.
She leaves several step children and
grand children. The one whom she
lavished most attention on and the one
who probably loved her more than
other » .he raiaeti him from
infancy, is Carolus Cox who lives in
the western part of the county. eo
pie had been expeoting her death for
. P lo time end trere no. torpmed
when the end came, but still she s
missed as perhaps no other person m
he neighborhood would have been, as
to lef.ad formed the habit of^ going
to see her and listening to her talk.
I would say to loved ones, and e.
necially to the beloved grand son, be
ready to meet her in eternity for you
[now not the day nor hour when the
Son of Man cometh.”
