CLEVELAND COUR
YOL. XX, No 6.1
God Called And She Departed.
After an illness of short duration,
Mrs. John II. Brown died Sunday
afternoon from influenza. Mrs.
Brown was the daughter of Mr.and
Mrs. J. J. Turner, brought up in a
Christian and industrious ffbme.
Site was born March 3, iSS», was
married to Mr. J, II. Brown, and
of this union were born five sons
and five daughters, one son and one
daughter having preceded her to
the beyond. She joined the church
at Tesnatee, and later moved her
membership to Mt. Yonah Baptist
Church, Cleveland.
Her remains were laid to rest in
Cleveland cemetery, the funeral
services having been conducted in
the home by Rev. W, R. Power.
“God touched her with His fin¬
ger and she slept,” wrote the poet.
So may we say of this dear fife,
“God touched her with Ilis finger
and she slept,” but not until a
beautiful life was lived,a noble ex¬
ample of patience, fidelity to truth
and faith was given to the world
within which she lived. Not until
visions of a heavenly fife, in Jesus
Christ, had cheered and illumined
the valley of her existence upon
e»»rth, and now that she sleeps,
memory takes up the harp of fife
and, touches the strings, find that
her virtues melt into music divine.
The sunshine of family love could
no longer warm her heart for God
had claimed her soul, and she passed
away from our midst that the place
prepared for her might no longer
be vacant in heaven.
Life will never again be the same
to the home she has left, while those
who occupy that hom«J*may long
with unutterable longings long for
a mother’s council and advise, and
a wife’s gentle nnd loving sympa¬
thy. She was a woman of strong
Christian character, patient, loving
and selfsacrificing, and indeed, we
might say, she has given her life
that others might live, so admirable
was her devotion to those about her.

the farewell party of John Wright
at his home Tuesday night before
he and John Alley left Wednesday
to be examined for service. They
were both accepted and returned
home Saturday night, and expect
to be in the service of their count¬
ry in about two weeks. Their
many friends regret to see them go
but are proud to send such splen¬
did boys to fight for us and “Old
Glory.”

A Letter From A Abroad.
Oct. 10, 1918.
I left New York and landed at
Liverpool, England. We were on
the water only six days. In Liver¬
pool we spent six hours. Leaving
this city we enjoyed several hours
drive through the country and stop¬
ped for five days rest. From here
we embarked for France, crossing
tlie channel while the stars were
shining upon the earth and the
waters When in France we spent
seven days in a good town, then
across France to the Swiss border
which took four days and nights by
train. No training camp for us.
England is a beautiful country;
pretty flowers everywhere and trees
all along the roads. Many of the
fencer are of stone. No wooden
buildings, as you know, and it is
the same in France, except in
France many of their homes and
barns are in the same building.
As to the scenery.it is something
great. When they build anything
it is put up to stay, although some
structures are very badly damaged,
as you no doubt understand. On
my’trip across France I came by
way of Paris, and other large cities
As to the rain here now, it is
jast the opposite to Texas. Hurrah
for our hip boots. Have been in
France about six months. Gee, at
the vineyards. They make wine
of all descriptions. Some good
looking girls here but—the Amer¬
ican girls for me.
The railroad engines (censorad)
and cars are different. The passen¬
ger coaches are entered at the seat;
no way to pass through. The
freight cars are very small. One
of ours would make six of theirs.
America is sure making and go
ing to make wonderful develop¬
ments in France. There are many
Erencli people who speak good
English.
Guess you have noticed in your
papers that the 30th division (Old
Hickory) has distinguished itself
in several fights. “They” get out
of the trenches, at least the good
ones. Of course they make more
as they fall back.
Papa,is there anything over here
you want? If so, let me know. I
will be glad to send it. Can’t
spend much money as there is noth¬
ing except beer and wine. Have
got — franks which I’ll send home
as soon as I can, -
Am in good health and weigh
175 pounds in my shirt sleaves.
With best wishes to all at home,

Says General Pershing, referring to
one of the war work organizations :
^ A SENSE of obligation for the varied
and useful service rendered to the
army Join In in France.....prompts me to
the appeal for its further financial
support. I have opportunity to observe
its operations, measure the quality of Its
personnel and mark its^beneficial influence
upon our troops, and I wish unreservedly
to commend its work for the army.

A Good Mother Gone To Heaven. ,*
Wednesday, October J3rd, 191'
Mrs. J. L. Nix died after an illness
of short duration. Mrs. Lena Eliza¬
beth Nix was the daughter of Henry
and Lizzie Cronie who reside
Chandler in Hall county. She was
born March 19, iSqirsfte was
ried to Mr. J. L. Nix March 14.
1908, and of this union were born
six children, three of whom survive
her, namely, Ray, Lois and Louise’
She was a member of Hopewell
church in Ilall county. Her remains
were conveyed to the family cemetry
Poplar Springs, Hall county for in¬
terment, and the body wastherelaid
to rest Friday, October 25th, Rev.
L. L. Bennet conducting the funeral
services.
Those to attend (he funeral from
Cleveland were, Mrs. Tinnie Jack
son, Mr. and Mrs. W. A, Nix and
family, Mrs. Lizzie Cronie, Mrs.
Jane Nix, Miss Lula Nix, Misses
Martha and Maud West, Miss Ola
Mix, Mr. J. L. Pepper, Clinton
Faulkner, Mr. Ollie Nix and Mr.
Alfred Nix of Brookton, These
friends were joined by many others
at Gainesville who accompanied
the bereaved to the last resting
place of the loved one,
Mrs, Nix came to White county
with her husband and family about
four years ago from Hall county.
During this time she made friends
with everyone whom she met, and
wit!) all of her acquaintances it is
a common expression to hear, “She
was a splendid little woman.” By
her friends and neighbors she was
most dearly loved. But, alas, death
loves a shilling soul, a pure mind
and a clean heart and so death found
in her a precious jewel to adorn the
kingdom of heaven, In the death
of our neighbor the community
keenly feels the loss imposed upon
it.
To the husband and family, fa¬
ther, mother and other relatives,
nothing but the thought of He who
removed her from their midst can
reconcile them to her absence, while
she is gone from the sorrows, the
conflicts and the pleasures of this
life, she has but led and blazed the
way for her dear ones to follow in
that path which leads onward and
upward to eternal life. She was a
devoted wife and a loving mother
and has vacated a place no one can
fill.
The many friends of the bereaved
sympathy with them in their loss
of this good wife and mother.

THE BANK THAT LIVES UP TO ITS POLICY
We are very definite in our ideas of what a Bank
owes its community, aud of the attitude which it should
take toward its customers.
There is no favored few here. Every patron stands
upon exactly the same footing—entitled to all the service
we can render properly. There is a feeling that Banks are
stiff and reserved institutions—sitting in judgment upon
mens’ affairs. But this is not one of that,type. Our atti¬
tude is studiously opposite. We seek to impress you with
our sincere desire to handle your account in a safe manner
and meet your requirements to the fullest degree. What¬
ever service we may be able to render to you, will be done
cordially and cheerfully.

iness with genuine appreciation Expressed in SERVICE.
