Editor—-On Tuesday night of last week, February 18 th, MisB Pearl Sawyer, grand-daughter of Mr. J. T. F. Doles of Fort Valley, died from the effects of burns re ceived that morning at the home of her mother at Pottersville, Taylor county. She was employed in the cotton factory, and at 7 o’clock that morning she went home from her night work. Sitting before the fire she slept, and when she awoke her clothing was a blaze of fire. She ran into the cook-room to secure the assistance of her aunt, but no one being there she ran out into the yard and ran around the house three t ; mes and fell exhausted, beseeching her aunt to save her if she could. She was terribly burned, and though all was done that loving hearts, ten der hands and a skilled physician could do, she died at 12:30 o’clock that night. While suffering intense ly, she prayed the sweetest prayer I ever heard, and on her death-bed sang without a quiver in her voice, “Jesus lover of my soul,” and then said: “Jesus has called for me and I must go. Mother, don’t grieve after me. I want you all to be good and meet me in heaven, ■ where I will soon be an angel.” . She called her mother, brother, Aunt Mary, Uncle Jesse to come and kiss her goodbye, and they did so. She then repeated the Lord’s prayer as far as “deliver us from evil,” broke down and never spoke again. She would have been 14 years old March 8th next. Her father died in 1889, and of the immediate family her mother and brother survive her, also grandfather, uncles, an aunt and many other ralatives, She became a member of the Methodist church when only five years of age, and Bhe was a Chris tian in every sense of the word. She was true, gentle and kind, good in word and aotion, and all who knew her loved her. May the loved ones now sorely bereaved, so live as to meet lier hereafter in the eternal home of the blessed. Sorrowfully, Uncle Jesse. Mr. Joe Miller died in Anniston, Ala., on Monday, Jan. 18th, of that Card Of Thanks. As we cannot person ly express our thanks to the many friends who were so tenderly helpful dur- dreadful disease, peritonitis. Mr. j i»g the recent fatal illness of our Miller was taken off in the bloom of, sls * e . r > Mrs. Fannie Moreland, and youth, just being 20 years old. Joe was a grandson of Mrs. Emeline Jerkins. He had been in business in Anniston for four years, connect ed with the Anniston Hot Blast, and while there made many friends. He connected himself with' the Mission ary Baptist, by whom he was re spected and held in the highest es teem.. During his sickness he had the best of attention, and at his death his church put him in a beau tiful casket and sent his pastor with his remains to Powersville. He was buried at Old Hopewell burying ground on the 20th. His pastor had services at the grave, and spoke of him in the highest terms. Joe was an orphan boy, and had he lived would have made his mark in the world. Sub. Deariso—Sanders. “A happy marriage was solemn ized by Rev. W. J.
