Death of Rev. J. E. Powell.
The hearts-of the entire commu
nity were made very, very sad
last Friday morning when they
learned that their much beloved
pastor, friend, and soon to be
their teacher, Rev. J. E. Powell,
had on Thursday night at 11:80,
breathed his last.
He waB taken sick while at Hen
derson last Saturday and Sunday
upon the attendance of Houston
Co. Baptist Union.
He was not considered, by those
who watchhd by his bed side, to
be so dangerously ill, but he sud- ■
denly grew worse, and no oneAcaused by the death of Rev. J. E.

Tffe Elko High School, by the
chairman of board of trustees,Dr.
. 0. Mann, is advertising for a I
principal, the place being vacant,
knew it better than he, as was e^
idenced by his conversation. He
expressed his love for Elko’s peo
ple, near his last words—he had
been their pastor for the past 8
years and much good he accomp
lished by his ministering, by his
example and by the good influence
that he exerted.
Those who knew this noble, this
good and this useful man, loved
him. He was what it took to
make a man capable of being lov
ed aud he did certainly recipro
cate, for he was warm hearted and
true. •
He, his dear Christian wife and
little babe, had just come to El
ko to make it their home, he hav
ing been elected to the school here,
aud in this he had done more
than many failed to do, unite the
people in the school, for he was
an educator of real worth and one
who surely loved the work and
young laborers.
The church, the school, and the
entire community keenly feel
their loss, for his place will be
very hard to fill.
The burial services were con
ducted at the Baptist church by
Rev, A. S. Dix, of Perry and his
pastor, Dr. T. J; Watts, of For
syth, which was very impressive,
and no doubt much spiritual ben
efit will come therefrom. The
text, was, “For me to live is
Christ; to die is gain.” The El
ko Lodge of Masons then took
charge and concluded with Ma
sonic honors.
Brother Powell was born Feb
ruary 16th, 1858, in Thomas Co
When he grew up to young man
hood, uniting with the New Hope
Baptist church at the age of 14
years. Feeling that God had
oalled-him to preach, and desir
ing to make the neqessary prepar
ation in obedience to his Master’
will, he made some sacrifices
and endured much which enabled
him to prooure an] education
Graduating at Mercer University
about 1883 r since which time he
has served many churches suocess
fully as pastor and taught. in
many institutions of learning
with great.credit to them as well
as to him self.
He was am example of what the
noble principle “will” can do, for
lie was a self-made man. In this
departure, a great, good and no
ble man leavejjsa place vacant as
an able divine, an educator of
great worth, a good citizen, whose
influence for good, was felt by all
with whom he came in contact.

they proceeded • to the spacious

Miss Etta Sandefur as their hos
tess for the evening, Other friends
of this accomplished young lady
soon joined this merry crowd and
different games, such as crokinole
and karoms, were in use the en
tire evening, Some enjoyed these
games while others enjoyed talk
ing and exerting their musical
skill to a certain extent—the mu
sic, both instrumental and vooal,
was fiue and proved to be very
enjoyable.
Of course, time flew rapidly
past and before anyone could
scarcely realize it, it was time for
the guests to bid their hostess
good night,all declaring her to be
one of great charms and aocom
nlishments.
We feel sure that death alone
can efface from the memory of
some of these guests, the 'i happy
momeuts spent at Miss Sandefur’s
home that evening.
