On Sunday morning, Jan. 6, 1918, there passed out of this life into the great beyond the soul of one the loss of whom is mourned by a host of relatives and friends —Mrs. Mary Anne Tye. Mrs. Tye was Miss Marv Anne Crockett, of York District, S. C., born Sept. 27, 1835. Her parents moved to Henry county in 1840. She was married to Dr. L. M. Tye Nov. 30, 1856, coming to the vil lage of McDonough as a bride, living in the same house in which passed away 62 years. She found her Sayior when but a girl, at Smyrna Campmeeting, under Dr. Quigg’s preaching, and it had been her chief desire to fol low and serve her Master during the many years that followed She was indeed a consecrated wo man, and loved her .church. Her bible was her-companion. She had just finished .reading it through this winter, and had en joyed it so much. The Presbyterian church has met with a great loss, but their loss is her gain. Her home life was beautiful, and the devotion of her children had helped to length en her stay in the world. She was the mother of 11 chil dren. Seven are living and four have passed o.i before her. Those suryiving her are Col. John L. Tye and Mrs. Lula Henderson of Atlanta, Miss Nena Tye, Dr. Rob’t L. Tye, Mrs. T. A. Sloan, Mrs. Paul Turner of McDonough, and Mrs. Lew Hutchens of Lawrenceville, and a numbe of grand and great grand children. Funeral services were conduct ed from the residence by Rev. M. C. Liddell at 11 o’clock Monday and the remains laid to rest be side her lamented husband in Mc- Donough cemetery. God bless such mothers. “Would it be like God to create such beautiful, unselfish loves, most like the loves of heaven of any type we know, just for one three-score years and ten ? Would it be like Him to let souls grow together here, so that seperating the day is pain, and wrench them apart for eternity ? What is meant by such expres sions as, “risen together,” “sitting together in heavenly places?” If they mean anything they mean recognition, friendship, en joyment. Our friends and loved ones are not dead nor asleep, they are living, they are near us always, and God has said : “We shall know each other there.” What shall we find at the end of the road —the road where the.sunset lies? Will there be more of joy and less of pain under those Iwckoning skies? Will the colors deepen as I draw near, or will they fade into grey? For the ro ,d is long and the road is strange that I travel day by day. What shall I find at the end of the road when I’ve said my last good bye? When I hear from far off the silent call — the call of souls to die? What shall I find at the end of the road when the last long mile I’ve trod! Find? I shall find all I have prized on earth of my heart’s love —Home and God. M. C. L. Rev. Richard Holland, the well Known colored minister who has lived all his life just west of Mc- Donough, has sold his farm to Mr. Tom Carmichael and moved to Griftin. Richard has always been prominent among his people, and will be a distinct addition to those of his new home. He has charge of churches in two towns adjacent to Griffin.

Mr. Ernest Tarpley Writes from England Mr. Ernest Tarpley has landed in England, and The Weekly is permitted to publish the following private letter to his farther, Mr. J. T. Tarpley, which will be deeely interesting to his McDonough friends: Somewhere in England, Dec 17, 1917. Dear Dad : Well, here lam in England as chipper as you please. The coun try is very pretty but small, ridic ulously small, as compared with the U. S. A. The trains are funny looking compared with those we have at home. The cars open from the sides. The people here are very nice Americans, or Yanks as they call us. Makes me feel a little queer to be called a “Yank.” They also call us “Sammies.” The weather continues good and is about like that we have in Georgia. We are confi u d to camn, so haven’t been able to look around much, but we go or. hikes through the country around here every day. We do eight miles everyday and sometimes more. This is considerable, when you consider we carry a pack weight about 40 lbs., maybe more. It is pretty hard at first, but I’m used to it and think nothing of it. You can get an idea of it by carrying a 50 lb. sack of flour from McDon ough to Hampton. Our pack is strapped on of course. It’s a great life and I’m fatten ing on it. The Captain told me yesterday that I was getting fat. I suppose I weigh about 20 lbs. more than when I left home. I had the time of my life coming over. We had a splendid ship, and nothing to do but eat and sleep and walk the deck. Some of the fellows were scared of submarines but it didn’t worry me any. * The ocean was stormy for two or three days, the rest of the trip was smooth. Dad, I’d love to see you in the &rmv just a little while. You wouldn’t like one bit. For I haven’t seen but two biscuits since I have been in the army and you never did like light or loaf bread. The bread we get here is very good. I don’t know wnetlier it is whole wheat or a mixture wheat and rye—it’s dark but after you’ve carried 50 lbs. eight or 10 miles it’s good. You see some of the queerest old houses imaginable in the country here —thatch roofs that is covered with wheat straw. They have twi wheeled buggies also and beautiful horses The horses are good deal heavier than ours are and they clip them up the sides about half way, making them appear to be wearing a blanket. You can hardly understand the Englishmen’s talk, and their mon ey is very hard to get accustomed to. Everything is reasonable enough in price except tobacco, which is high. The 5c bags of Bull Dur ham Tobacco sell for 38c. There are other things that are cheaper in the U. S. A. Don’t worry if you don’t hear from me as often as you think you should, my letters may be delayed or the censor may get them. Love to Munsie and everyone I else. • Write me real often and tell ev ! erybody else too. Lovingly Ernest. Corporal Robert Ernest Tarpley 99th Aero Squadron, American Expeditionary Forces, New York City, N. Y. Mrs. Rod Fargrson Enters Heavenly Reward. The death of Mrs. Lucinda Far gason, wife of the lamented R. H. Fargason, which occurred at 3:30 o’clock Wednesday afternoon last, at ihe old homestead near Timber ridge church, marks the passing of one more of Henry county’s aged, noblest and best women. Mrs. Fargason passed her 86th milestone several months ago, and with the ripeness of years was one of the sweetest and most lov able charrcters. She was a conse crated Christian, living an exem plary life of usefulness which woa the hearts of these who knew her. She was a member of the Presby terian church 70 years, joining when sixteen. Funeral services were held at 11 o’clock Friday morning, con ducted by Revs. M. C. Liddell and H. S. Smith, and the remains were laid to rest beside those of her husband in Harper’s burial ground. Covering the bier were beautiful flowers, bespeaking peace purity and immortality. Mrs. Fargason is survived by two sons, Messrs. L. H. and W. G. Fargason of Atlanta, and three daughters, Mrs. J. B. Russell, Mrs. Mrs. W. J. Turner and Mrs. S. E. Smith, besides a number of grand children.

On Tuesday after the program has been rendered a box of cann ed goods, jellies, pickles, preserv es, etc., wiil be packed to send to to Orphans’ Home. On Wednesday a “miscellaneous box” for the Mary P. Willingham Industrial School: and on Thurs day a box suitable for the Hospit al. These three institutions asked last summer (while vegetables and fruits were being canned) that they be remembered with a box from various churches and this being the time appointed to send the boxes, it is hoped and expected that every woman in the church or who feels interested in the Master’s cause, will either i bring or send her donations for the objects mentioned above. Anything and any amount will be greatly appreciated. Back On The Job. Dear Mr. Editor: As you know, last year I pre dicted the weather a few' w’eeks, which 1 had no intention would affect any one, and don’t think it it did, but we see our brother prophet of Atlanta has been dis continued, so it seems now if we have our local predictions we will have to do it ourselves. G. W. Cathy. Rev. M. M. Austin, who has had charge of the colored Methodist church in McDonough for the past two years, was returned by the last confererence. Rev. Aus tin is a minister of more than us ual ability among his people, ap preciated by both races, and his congregation was pleased to have him back.
