Smith are the best that ever appeared in The Weekly. We trust that he will continue to contribute to its col umns. Say all you folks in town, coun try or any where else, if you will heat either a smoothing iron, or a brick, wrap it up in paper, and then a cloth of some kind, and put it in the bed at your feet these awful cold nights; it will make you feel like it’s summer time. Try it, if you want to sleep happy. We do not charge any thing for this information, only that you try it. seems to ever think of our school, South River, or better known as Old Beersheba, 1 thought I would just remind you of us. For if we are away down here on the river, we are having a very good school under circumstances. The weath er has been so awful bad for a good while, that we could not all go as regular as we would like to. We have two of the best teach ers in Henry county or at least, that is what we pupils think. They are Mrs. Ola Bryans, and Miss Bannie Evans. We will be glad for you to come to see us any time. If you think this will do to print, from a fifth grade, (ten year old ) pupil, maybe you will hear from South Ri'yer school again. Your little friend, Melvin Bledsoe. . sl.s# A VRA?? Sad Death. A touchingly sad death was that of Miss Cortez Kiinhc-M, which occurred on Monday last at a sanitarnm in Atlanta, where she., had been carried-about two weekd ago for treatment. • Miss Cortez was theJmiely youite (Lughterof Mv. a/ul Mrs. Lon Kjmbel), of near McDonough,’ and - ■deep, sympathy Is .extended them imthuir .bereavement.- TiH'ieraJ services, vw-re held at the Baptist churcfi aT'Tt :oYJq'c]v Tuesday morning, vCfmduoted bv Bev. J. M. Gilmore, .the .remains being laid to rest in McDonough cemetery. The following beautiful and ap propriate tribute is written hT her Sunday School teacher, who--knew and appreciated her : . The great quest ion 'of all the ages, old but evVr new, “Where "Shall we answer we*fihd in the shellt; re sistless force of a life spent buried with Christ. - and Irtvej'the grqiaT. esh of Jjl is love, djeCjiuse ‘ Faith is lost In sigltt. ilQ|x; taKiS jn, jfuj(ion„but love of >vhaH* hfst* through , all <3ernity* *** I Then.by these three, gdiktyesg J alone, we are v< i!

Miss Cortez is asleep in Jesus, her Master and Lord whom she loved and trusted with such child like faith. On the res urrection morning she shall awake from her now sweet repose to spend eternity with those whom God loves. Those beautiful eyes will again sparkle with life, and “Shall be forever bright when stars themselves shall h ive turn ed to night.” She cannnot come to us, dear father and mother, but we can go to her. Our hearts go out to her bruised and bleeding loved ones, and we can but point to Him who knoweth all about all our troubles, all our heart-aches. He loves, and because He loves tie chastens. We knew this beautiful woman here, and because we knew her liepe we shall know her there. “Not now, but iq, the coming years we shall understand the way He led was best for me.” But as yesterday the summons came to her to set her house in order, for Jesus whom she trust ed to the last needed one more Jewel. We shall iniss her as the years come and go, but we shall ever bear in mind her sweet Christian life. Her Teacher. AMERICAN RICE EXPORTS.
