In Memoriom.
On Wednesday night, Nov. 12th,
the death angol visited the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Richard Hilt, and just
before midnight the gentle spirit of
Willie Hill dropped its mantle of
care and fled from the weary body up
to the eternal city of God.
A few weeks ago her health failed,
fever took hold of her with all its
danger until God looked down on the
little sufferer and said, “It is enough,
come up higher "
Willie had been a member of Pine
Grove Baptist church for about three
y*ars. She would have been thir
teen year* old in December. Her life
was brief, bnt oh how sweet was the
life of our dear little Willie. She was
such a sweet Christian.. To know
Willie was to love her.
As a daughter she was dutiful and
affectionate, and as a friend or school¬
mate she was loyal and true, loving
and being loved by all.
Though Willie was so young, so
filled with hopes and aspirations,she
never murmured when she realized
that those could be hers but a short
time. She was submissive to the
Master's wi.l and lelt the sweet as¬
surance that she was ready.
' Her death has cast a gloom of sad¬
ness over ihe entire community,
where once the gentle voice and be¬
nign face was a source of delight to
her many friends and of happines* to
her devoted parents. Her blessed
image is now set in pearls upon the
walls of their memory and the re¬
membrance of the voice comes back
like music from harps ot living mel¬
We extend our sympathy to the
father, mother, sisters and brothers.
Weep not dear parents, brothers and
sisters; for you a brighter day is
dawning.
It is difficult for us to understand
why such precieus lives, such prom¬
ising faature are so briefly ended, but
God in his omnipotence understands
it all.
She is now blcominK in the fields of
Transplanted light.
liy ids eare;
Ami sainted in her garments white,
A* an angel blossoms there,
Kindly tend the flagrant violets.
Gently speak and so'tly tread,
Lest you disturb tier sweet, repose,
For she sleepeth—she is not dead.

Mattie and Julia Clemons.

COLONIZING SOUTHWEST.
running into the Southwest to induce

Arkansas and Texas are perhaps not
surpassed anywhere in the wide
world.
Along the Cotton Belt Iioute in

So prolific are the yields of pota
toes, onions, cabbage, melons, tom a
toes, pears, peaches and, in fact near
ly eveiy kind of vegetable and fruit,
that truck growers’ associations are
forming a many points. The Co too
Belt is actively assisting there ass®
ciations by granting special rated and
otherwise aiding in securing a ready
market for the products. It is a fact
of much importance that wherever
truck growing has been entered into
the prices of lands have immediately
begun to advance.
In order to encourage this and
kindred industiies along their lines
the Southwestern railroads have put
into effect very low round trip Home
seekers’ rates of one way fare plus
$2, and one way Colonist rates of
half the one way tare plus $2, from
such points as St. Louis, Cairo and
Memphis to Arkansas, Louisiana and

surance. Bis corn, fodder,

morning in response to a tele¬
gram; and is doing all in his
power to locate the guilty
