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. DEATH OF RICHARD CRAWFORD.

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.
