CHURCH REUNION.
It' the editor will allow me space
to plead with the churches of Hen
ry county to have a church reun
ion the fourth Sunday in July. I
want every church in Henry coun
ty to have a reunion of its mem
bers, every one of every denomina
tion. Let us give one day wholly
to the Lord.
Have never heard of such a thing
hut why not try? Let every mem
ber that can possibly go, let noth
ing but sickness prevent. We can
go to celebrations, picnics, and oth
er kind of rallies so now let the
church have a jubilee.
Just think now of every church
member being present at their re
spective churches. Some might
say I belong to one church and my
wife another one, that brings
about more talk if we can’t go to
heaven together.
We would suggest that each
church would arrange a program,
let all the church members march
and then they could let the Sunday
School pupils and teachers march
and perhaps have a few recitations
and songs to suit the occasion.'
Let the churches consider the
matter and decide to have a jubi
lee on the 4th Sunday in July.
I feel impressed to write this. Just
think about it every church mem
ber in old Henry county, all at re
spective churches at one time. I
feel like there would be a power of
good done by it. W e are all swift
ly passing away from this world.
Let all the pastors of Henry coun
ty churches think of the matter
and encourage the members in the
matter. Let everybody work to
have such a grand reunion.
Yours in earnest,
A church member.

IN MEMOIUAN.
Of Mrs. J. E. Jinks who resided
at home of her daughter, Mrs. .T.
J. McKibben, near Vaughn, she
died on Monday, May 27th, after a
.lingering illness of about four
months, she was 75 years of age,
and had recently moved here from
Henry county.
She leaves seven children to
mourn her death, and many friends
who are deeply grieved. As a
mother she was one of the best, a
good neighbor always ready to lend
helping hand to the poor and
needy, and the sick and dieing to
know her, was to love her.
She was quite fond of books and
in her last years, spent most of her
time reading she chose the best of
literature and was well posted in
scripture and general topic's of the
day.
She was a member of the M. E.
church and lived a devoted Chris
tian life, and during her illness,
she bore her sufferings with great
patients, and would often raise her
feeble hands heavenward, if seeing
the angels beckoning her to come.
Now’ she has gone to reap her re
ward, to wear the crown that God
can give. “The battle’s fought the
victory’s won.” Well done thy
good and faithful servant.
