G, F. Hudson, Cum’n. R. J. Boyd, Cl’k, OBITUARY. Departed this life, August 26th, 1876—May Smith, daughter of Mr., and Mrs- iierschell E. Smith, of Jeffer-ij son county, Ga.,—aged about one and 4 a half years and two weeks, J Little May Smith was the lov .lecfe) child I ever say. She was b&jgflH | healthy and mirthful as acekMHHR Me time of her ten day she’ever cried or fffe’tted ;• a lovely,”' harmless, smiling, cheerful good na ture beamed from her eyes and coun tenance althrough her short and happy life. Our Maker who gives life, has the right to take it back wljen he chooses ; and ho willed to take this lit’.e tender plant that had jest bud le I—tills little angelic cnerub—away from this world t is world of troubre and soriow, wnere bleak winds blow and tempest rage, and transplant it ir. his paradi-e above, where it may bloom in perennial sweet ness th:ongii the lapse of eternal ages, iiut it wutild be near the truth to say, that little May was born in Heaven. She was hurried at Ways Church on a bright Sabbath mom, in the midsiyaf, a beautiful grove, where cogs.. dais wave, amlfioweLf bloom, and Spring bu&y carol their sweetest iays. for the last time on her “Sweet 1 ttle form as she lay silent and still in the collin. Her eyes were clos ed rsifiu sleep, her face looked natur al and beautiful as iii the full vigor of life; in her right hand she held a bunch of white piuks, emblem of moral purity. Her doatiug parents with streaming eyes gave her their last farewell kiss, and then ail that was mortal oi little May was consigned to the tomb to await that gr.-atday, when God shall call her body forth to rejoin that spirit that is now happy in Heaven. Parents, ii a short tiuio you will see little May again, A. Fkiknd. !#’ Sandersville papers—Aarlung tou Cos., Ga.,— will please copy.
