Death of Little Twins.
Our hearts are crushed with sor
row because little Troy and Roy,
the infant twins of Mr. and Mrs.
W. B. Treadwell, have passed out
of our lives. We shall never more
see those sweet baby faces nor
press those tender little hands, but
the purity and innocence of these
brief lives will live with us for¬
ever. it is an inspiration to us
and leads us on to higher, nobler
aspirations.
‘‘Our babies”, as they were lov¬
ingly called, were born February
22nd and went to join the angels,
one on the 29th of February, the
other on the 3rd of March. In
this short period we felt the gentle
influence of these precious little
lives and we know that they were
a benediction to those who came
in contact with them.
Our hearts were almost broken,
and it was so hard to say, “Thy
will be done”, yet when we think
how they suffered, such suffering
no tongue can ever describe, and
w hen we remember that they were
the Lord’s already, we cannot feel
otherwise than that Ho was mer
ciful and true to His own and that
He was only calling two of His
little ones to be tenderly folded in
His arms, away from the cares of
this world.
We know that “our babies” are
resting sweetly against the bosom
of Him who gaveth them, yet it
seems our griefs cannot be stayed.
May this tie bind us so closely to
the better world that no matter
what may betide we can lift our
hearts above and submissively say,
thy will, not ours, be done. >>

Death of Mr. J. S. Nolen.
Mr. James Sanford Nolen was
born March 25, 1847, and died
March 18, 1908. He was born and
raised in Newton county and has
lived most all of his life in his
home county. He has ever been a
good, faithful, law-abiding citizen,
answering the last call of the Con¬
federacy in the sixties, and when
the war was over, returned to his
home and enlisted iu the great ar¬
my of his Lord and his Master,
and many is the time the writer
has heard the shout of victory
from his efforts in the service of
the Captain of his Salvation, and
his testimony in the last days of
his life, though suffering, was that
he was going home to rest.
May the great God in whom he
trusted, throw his arms of power
and protection around his weeping
wife and children and safely lead
them all to Heaven where there
will be no more parting.

Rev. Thomas H. Greer
Rev. Thomas H. Greer was born
in Uuion county, S. C., March
19th, 1 *39, and died at his home
in Covington, December 24, 1907*
The greater part of Rev, Greer’s
life was spent in Newton county.
He joined the Macedonia Baptist
church in early life, He was mar¬
ned to Miss Mary J. Hays in 1801.
On the 4th of March, 1882, a Pres¬
bytery was called by the Carmel
Baptist church consisting of Elders
W. II. Aaron, J. W. Butts and E.
H. Lawrence that ordained and
set him apart to the full work of
ti.e gospel ministry. He did most
of his preaching iu the bounds of
the Central Association, aud a
great deal of it in the destitute
places. While he did not receive
the compensation for service ren
dered, he did not niurmur nor
complain, and truly it can be said
of him, though he be dead, yet
speuketh, and many children that
he came in touch with in life, j]|
rise w
up iu after days and call him
blessed.
