IN MEMORY
Of Mrs. Lizzie Askew, Born l>ec. 25th,
1807, Died Juue 22d, 1888.
Whereas, An all-powerful and all¬
wise providence in the infinitude of
his wisdom and benevolence, has seen
lit to remove from us all that was
mortal of Mrs. Lizzie Askew.
Resolved 1st, That in her, woman¬
hood has had a pattern of modesty,
virtue, purity and Christian spirit;
that the community has lost one of its
choicest women, the grange one of its
most valued members, the husband
and child a loving and faithful wife
and mother.
Resolved 2nd, That we extend to
the bereaved husband and child,
mother and family of the deceased
our deepest sympathy in their sorrow
and commend them to Him who shall
wipe away all tears from their eyes.
Resolved 3d, That a page in our
hook of records he dedicated to her
memory. of these
Resolved 4th, That a copy
resolutions be furnished the husband
and mother of the deceased and that
they he published in the Hamilton

Beech Spring Rubbles.
Fair and cool.
Farmers are very busy gathering
their crops.
Misses Leila Davis and K. T. Had¬
ley, of near this place, are spending
this week at the Blue Spring. We
wish them a pleasant time.
Mrs. T. S. Davis, of this place is at
her fathers, Mr. Gus Moore’s, quite
sick.
There will be three converts irn
mersed in the pool next Sunday
morning at Beech Spring.
A mad dog passed through this
community Sunday. It bit a fine
bird dog of Mr. J. H. Nelson’s.
Mrs. Judge Spence is slowly im¬
proving.
Mrs. Greer is quite sick. It is
thought she must soon leave this
world to go to the better.
A very large rattlesnake was killed
last week b/ Alex Glass, which had
twelve rattles. The same darkey lost
a cow the other day trom the bite of
a snake.
Why should we start and fear to
go if we are what we profess to be.
If we are Alliance we ought to
prove it. If the merchants will not
take the cotton in ducking we can
keep the cotton. We would like to
know why the cotton goods will not
do as well as the jute bagging. If it
will protect the cotton as welt and
the manufacturers will receive it why
should the middle man object.
