It died very suddenly, yet had been in had health for some time. Mrs. Jas. Smith, a daughter of Mrs. Boyd, was buried at Oak Grove cemetery on Saturday Oct. 7th, Rev. J. P. Dickinson preached the funeral. Mrs. Smith was an excellent Christian woman, very zealous in all her life-work, and leaves a vacancy never to be filled in her home or in her mother’s family. Earth’s loss is heaven’s gain. Since the rain, the Broxton gins are putting in good time, day and night. Mrs. Moore is to arrive this week from North Carolina, to spend a while with her patents, Mr. and Mrs. J.

After a sumptious repast was served, the bride and groom re paired to the home of the latter near Oak Grove, accompanied by relatives. To say that Broxton has lost one of her best girls, is to say that Oak Grove has gained one equal to the best. To speuk a word of praise of the groom, we have only to say, he is a son of Capt. Boyd, late of this county deceased. This is sufficient evidence that he is fully worthy of the prize he has won. We wish them a pleasan' and prosperous life of unity. On the same day, Mr. Joel Har per drove in with his l eautiful bride, Miss Maude Bruce. So, as Broxton loses one, a not! er is im ported.
