appointed by the Baptist Missionary
Society, draw up resolutions to her

She came to Cochran i-< Qie year
1909 and soon afterward joined the
First Baptist Church and the Mis
sionary'Society. She was a t devot
ed Christian worker, always filling
her place with loyalty and good
will, faithful to every call and duty
of the Christian work. We miss
her, for we needed her sweet, genial
■ nature as an associate and friend.
Uve needed her influence, and it is
with profound sorrow that we give
tier up.
' Our missionary society has sus
tained a loss of one of its most ar
deiu and loyal members, and one
who in all her associations exer
cised charity, truth, and loving
kindness.
Her laxly was (aid to rest beside
her husband in the family burying
ground at Kittrell. Ga., while her
soul rests in a home of love and
beauty. In a garden wondrous
fair, where flowers of rare beauty
sweetly perfume the air, no care,
no tears, no sorrow, but a life of one
long, golden day, radiant, real, and
holy, —is the home of Mrs. McCoy,
just o’er the way.
Resolved: That the members of
the missionary society extend to the.
bereaved hearts their sincere sym
pathy.
Resolved: That a copy be sent to
The Christian Index and the family.

Good Meeting

met at the First Baptist Church on
Monday afternoon at 4 o’clock,
Aug. with quite a large num
ber of members present.

proud of their president, Mrs. J.
H. Mullis, Jr., who, with her grime
of manner, presides so beautifully
and inspiringly.
A talk, was made by Mrs. Dave
Harvard on “The Highways of the
Foreign Lands of Afri«a, China,
Asia, and Germany,” which was
enjoyed. Mrs. Earle Elder also
read a paper on “The Training of
Children by Missionaries in the
Foreign Lands,” which was good.
It is hoped that the ladies of the

up the inspired spirit of the need
and good that can be done in this
society and never shirk from duty.
The society extends to all the
Baptist a welcome to come and-join
them, and to every lady of the
town to attend their meetings,

Cracksmen Blast
Safe at Mcßae
Mcßae, Ga., Aug. 7 —Robbers
gained an entrance to the Sou
thern Railway depot at t-h.s place
this morning at 2:35 o’clock, "dyna
mited the safe of the agent, practic
ally demolished the sides of the
ticket office, set fire to the debris,
and jarred the city from one end to
the other. The robbery, which was
committed while the electriet lights
were burning in the building, net
ted the theives only a few dollars,
as there was only a few dollars in
the safe.
The entire town of Mcßae was
jarred by the territtie blast. People
rushed from their homes, thinking
that the huge boilers at the city
pumping station had blown up
Smoke was seen issued ng from the
Southern Railway depot and the
searchers found that the agent’s of
fice’had been practically demolished.
The robbers gained an entrance
through the front door of the office.
The safe was a complete wreck, the
door having been blown across the
room, striking the opposite wall,
crushing and splintering it into
many fragments.
A number of tickets and some
money was found burning on tin
floor. Currency amounting to $lO
was also found scattered about the
room.
The loss will be small as there
was little money in the safe.
The thieves escaped and the au
thorities have been notified. The
effectiveness of the work leads to
the belief that the thieves were pro
fessional cracksmen.
Mr. J. F. Floyd brought in the
first bale of cotton here last Tues
day. it weighed 536 lbs., and was
sold to the Cochran Union Ware
house Co. for 17c per lb., netting
just $91.12.
