DIED. At Vidalia, at the Samtorium, on the morning of Sept. 2d, third | daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. VV. ! Gibbs. Eliza Junett, the subject j of this demise was a lovely girl in her 19th year; amiable, ulleelion ate, kind in her disp« sition, she endeared all to her who know her, !in fact to know her was but to love her. At home, in the neigh | bui'liuod, at bciiool, among her relatives, everywhere Eliza was a favorite. But, alasl as death hath darkened his eye, and unplumed his wing, and rested his chilly hand upon this beautiful girl ini the springtime of life, we are forced to a realization of the truth that “Death loves a shining mark.” She was too pure to linger here Amid the homes of earth, Her spirit in another sphere Had it's immortal birth. And may we who know her and loved her so well strive to meet her in that sphere prepared for such lovely ones us Eliza. That the father and mother, brothers and sisters of Eliza have the sym pathy and condolence of kind friends, there is no doubt, but the only source of comfort to their grieved and sorrowful hearts are the promises in Divine Truth. These afflictions we will all have to bear sooner or later. Not a month ago the writer of this was at her home. She seemed as live ly and healthy as ever. That smile which ever lit up her face, that radiant, genial, warm-hearted expression, ull seemed to bespeak a long Mild happy life for her.
