Robinson, clepixrted iMa life on
• December 18th., about. six o’clock
in the morning at tlm age eighteen
years and four months.
She had never been' slab tjofore
and was only side four days before
passing away with Keuratie Wood
- poison.
She gave her hunt to Qod in early
life, united with tin: M. Ei;Church'
and lived a consistent memher to
the last moment. Then calling all
the family to her gave to all, :>
parting message, then kissed them
good bye. And with the call lines-
of an Angle begged them not to
grieve for her,
As there was no sting in iter
death and the Bible, taugh I that
all must die. She was an obedient
daughter, a loving sister, always
thoughtful of others., hi her
death wo liave a dear demonstra
tion of the blossfcduoss of those
who die in the Lord. She died
u tremor begging the loved one;
‘ to meet her in heaven.
I-Ier little brother Lloyd had
jiassed away about .two years be
fore at the age of six years, a love
ly child that still lingers in our
hearts. Whose death also came
suddenly, and to-day while friends
and loved ones weep they sing with
the Angles in glory,. And while,
yielding to our finite 'weakness we
grieve. We .rejoice t o know they
are at rest.

AN OPEN LETTER
, Cairo, Ga., January Sth, 1917
To Th« Public:—
I take this method of advising the public and my custdmere*that I
have decided to retire from the mercantile business, and. propose to close
out hiy .entire stock of merchandise at actual cost—nothing held back.
This is a bona-fide closing out sale ancl I do-not propose to get out
any flashy circulars containing leaders to induce you to come to my stove,
but 1 respectfully ask you to come and price the goods for yourself and be
convinced that you can save several dollars on your spring and summer
supply of goods.
A very large percentage of my goods were bought before the ad
vance and I do not propose to mark the goods up to’a price to represent
what they would cost me today. • 1
This is an opportunity which you cannot afford to miss, and you
ahoujd come at once before the best goods are gone.- *
Thanking my customers and the public in general for the liberal
patronage accorded me for the many years I have been in the mercantile
business, and trusting that you will avail yourself of this the best opportu
nity- of the season, I beg to remain,
Yours very truly.
F. A. RICHTER
