Upshaw received a tele- ! gram on Thursday of last week an nouncing the death of a sister at East Point. The remains were carried to Lutherville for interment.

He has many friends through- | j out the county, and some of them are talking of him as a likely candidate for t her. mg prayers, vc withered, When, n few months since Joy wan in her mild blue eye, But a golden cord is severed And our hopes in ruin lie. One most dear lo our hearls lias gone, Another voice we loved is stilled; The place made vacant in thu home CUn never more he filled.

Anil upheld her victory’s honor In the strength of Christian might. For the third time since Christ mas our little town has been vis ited by the Death Angel.

She was born April 10, 1856. In 1870 she recognized Jesus Christ as being her Savior and united with the Baptist church at Bethel, in Heard county. Those who knew her best loved her most.
