CHILD’S EVENING PRAYER.
Now I lay me down to sleep,
I know that God my soul will keep,
For God is Love, and always here;
I am God’s own child, and have no fear.
God is good, and He is all,
That makes me good, for God I call.
God is my life; that makes me strong,
In doing right, in work or song.
He keeps me well both night and day;
In Him I learn to love and do;
God help me to be kind and true.

IM MEMORY.
It becomes our sad duty to say
a few thing in memorys of our
friend and neighbor Mrs. Sterling,
wife of W. Z. Sterling, who pass¬
ed away on Sunday night Sept.
23rd 1900, after a brief illness.
She was a loving kind, and du¬
tiful wife, a loving mother and
grandmother, kind and good
neighbor ever ready to deny her¬
self to help others.
In having to part with her we
know her husband has lost a jew
el too precious for earth \ her son,
a devoted mother, and her graud
children a mother and grand-moth
er too. It seemed to be her pleas*
ure to do something for them and
grant their request, they too have
i 0B fc their best friend,
j u regard to her life it was one
ge }f denial, so Christ like, iook
jug to the comfort, necessities and
pleasure of others, She endowed
her suffering without murmuring
or complaining, willing to suffer
if it was the Lord’s will. May
the Lord comfort and sustain her
dear husband in his very sad be
reavement, may he try to imitate
fmr walk here and her many good
examples, and may her son remem
ber the kind and loving advice she
so often gave him, while the
friends and neighbors have lost a
good friend, we bow in submission
to Lord’s will, knowing He is too
good to make a mistake. May
He in His providence and mercy
grant that we may so live that we
may be permitted to pass the pear¬
ly gates into that beautiful beyond
where we hope and believe she has
passed aud is now basking in the
sunshine of God’s love no more to
suffer but where all is love happi
uess andjdelight forever more and
God shall wipe all tears from their
eyes.
Farewell mother but not forever
There will be a glorious dawn,
We shall meet to part no never
Q n ^} ie resurrection mom.
Tho thy dearest form lies sleeping
watiog
When the blessed Lord doth come.

MRS HALE HEAD.
Last Sunday morning at 5 o’¬
clock Mrs. J. N. Hale peacefully
passed away at her home in this
city after a continued illness of
more than twelve months, in
which she displayed a Christian
patience that marks her as one of
God’s own. For many months
she could not speak above'a wliis
per and was prostrated because of
her great weakness. All this she
bore meekly without murmuring,
She accompanied Mr. Hale to
Florida some months ago hoping
to be benefited by the change of
climate. Indeed, she did experi
slight improvement and
returned home, trusting that she
might continue to grow stronger.
A few weeks ago it was whispered
that she was growing worse and
each day the announcement came
that she was growing weaker. The
final dissolution came as stated. It
brought no surprise to the anxious
ones about her bedside who had
tended her faithfully to the last.
They knew that the time was close
at hand when the life of this good
Christian lady must be no more—
they were prepared for the end.
Just before death closed her lips
forever, the patient sufferer talk
ed beautifully to those about her,
bidding them all to live right and
meet her in heaven.
Mrs. Hale leaves a husband,
who is now painfully sick, and
fouf daughters, "With many rela¬
tives and friends, who mourn her
loss.
The funeral service was held at
the residence Monday morning by
Rev. I. G. Walker, after which
the remains w?re interred in Rock¬
dale cemetery.
To the bereaved we tender our
sincere sympathy.
When a man keeps a store, a
shop or an office, there is presum
tive evidence that he wants cus¬
tom ; but when addition, he ad¬
vertises in the public newspapers
that he is ready to do business,
he issues a direct and particular
invitation to the people to come
to him and trade. Everybody has
had experience with merchants
and professional men who seemed
to be reluctant to attend to pa¬
trons, if not resentful of their
presence. Therefore, we all feel
I more free to go to the stores and
offices of those who invite us, day
after day through the newspapers.
Advertisements are assurances of
welcome and attention.—Ex.
WHITE—RCIHflRDS.
Owing to the scarletfever in the
family of the bride’s sister, Mrs.
T. H. Bryans, Mr. R. F. White of
Greenville, S. C., and Miss Mollie
Richards were married at the M.
parsonage at this place Wednes¬
day evening Sept, 19, at 7 o’clock
in the presence of a few intirmate
friends, Rev. J. L. Moon officiat¬
ing.
The affair had been kept exceed
ingly quiet and only became pub¬
lic a few days before its consuma
tion.
Miss Richards is a charming
young woman possessing all tfie
noble and refined Christian traits
of character so essential to the
making of home happy. For sev¬
eral years she has been the Rec.
Sec. of the W. F. Missionery So¬
ciety of theM. E. church of which
she is a leading member. Endow¬
ed in an unusual degree with ami¬
ability of disposition and attract¬
ive in face and form, she has weil
ded a scepture in the social world
second to none.
Her traveling dress was of hand¬
some imported cloth in one of the
new shades of brown tailor made,
and trimmed with bands of stitch¬
ed silk, with hat and gloves to
match. She looked unusually
pretty and stylish.
The groom is a gentleman of the
highest social standing and integ¬
rity, and is too well known in the
commercial world to require au in¬
troduction. He is a prosperous
merchant of Greenville, and is al¬
so connected with the H. Y. Mc¬
Cord Co. of Atlanta.
The happy couple left on the
7:20 train enroute to their home
in B. C.
A thousand good wishes follow
them. ■ a
