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. Two friends, Mattie and Julia Clemons. Picture and Gift Books tor Xmas.
