MRS. S. T. HURST JR. DEAD.
A WORD OF APPRECIATION
Truly sorrow makes brothers of
us all. Not one who knew Mrs.
Jule Hunter Hurst but has felt
weighed down with grief over the
news of her passing from us this
week.
For years she made her home iu
Perry, first as a teacher in our
school, then as a wife and home
maker, and always a distinct asset
to our community. All who knew
her counted it a pleasure, and her
sunny smile a real blessing. She
was an ideal mother, and leaves
four precious children, heart
hungry for her gentle touch and
loying care.
Our deepest sympathies go out
to the bereaved husband, and
sorrowing loved ones. May the
God of all comfort be their strength
and their stay, and may her mem
ory continue a hollowed influence
to keep them ?11 true to the
highest and best.
A Friend.
