Obituary. Again the death antrel has visited our family and Mrs i J Pruitt is no more. Many, who on the morning of June the fourth heard the Concord bell toll, and counted the four score strokes, knew that Grandmother Pruitt was numbered with the dead. After fifty-three days of intense suffering she passed peacefully a way at the home of her daughter, Mrs S C Tatum, She was first married to Major L Moorhead. Eight children blessed their union, six of whom are still living. One, her eldest son, was killed at Petersburg dur ing the Civil War and a little girl having died in infancy. The living are Messrs W S Moorhead, of Crews, Texas, M J Moorhead, of Madison. Ga., D T Moorehad, of Arnett, Okla. Mesdames Mary E Burress, of Anderson, S C., Maggie A Pruitt, of Ft Worth, Texas, and Sallie C Tatum, of this place. All of whom, except Mrs Pruitt, visited her durtng her last illness. Mr Moorhead died during the war and later she was married to Early E Pruitt who, too, has long since ventured into the unknown world. She joined the Baptist church at the age of eighteen and has since lived so as to be worthy to be called a ehristian. She is a member of Concord church, to which place she dearly loved to go and there, also, is her last resting place. The funeral exercises were conducted by Rev J R Stone. To the bereaved I will say, it is hard to give up mother or grand mother, but she has gone to greet her own. Let us hope and pray that we, too, may greet our loved ones in heaven and not one of our hort shall boleft .out. r Pray earnestly and unceasingly that her children who are still in sin may be made to see their true condition and repent ere it is too late, God grant that those of her grand children, who are still out of the ark of safety may turn and live for God to meet their dear old grandmother once iho^e. Her granddaughter^ Mrs Alfred M Light. In Memory of Mrs. AdaTSearden. ‘‘The resurrection and life llow sweet those wordFsound now since death has placed his chaplet on our cherished s’ster’s brow. We looked up on the dim closed eyes and helpless form who loved and prayed for us, now silent in her bier, She lived and loved ; yea what that love was we know in part, but in God’s court we will true knowledge find. j&She from her labor now may rest, from her sweet soul all tumult gone, and it is now a joy to think her work will follow on. The Master spared her here for many years to help the weak and. dry the mourners’ tear. As sister and wife how well she bore her part with willing, patient, helpful hands, with tender loving heart. Sorrow needs must come to all who are of woman born. Her lot life had many a war, its roses many a thorn, and yet h°r glorious faith stood through every grief and loss; she took her burden prayerful ly to our blessed Savior’s cross. The dear sweet face so well beloved is hidden from our view. We see no more the smiling face, tender eyes of brown, but oh, the resurrection ! How our hearts thrill at the thought that Christ, a victor ovet death for all his people have fought. She is not dead, No, no. .1 hank God, the life eternal is now hers. No more that faithful heart can feel the weight of earthly cares. The one she lcved and served so well has folded on his breast with tender arms our dear sister an#giv en her sweeter rest, and we shall see her face again. Then let us not regret that she is gone, for well we know she can never torget her loved ones here; and may He, since God himself is love, help us to struggle bravely on until we meet .above, ' • Her sister, Ida Myers.

Ex-Governor Candler, of Atlan ta, Ga., after testing a three months graduate of the Byrne Simplified Shorthand, says ‘‘she is more pro ficient than many stenographers who have had as many years in struction and practice.” The St. Louis Post Dispatch states that, ‘•Little nine year old Margaret Simpson, a Byrne Simplified ste nographer, is the most proficient stenographer of her age in the world.” Mrs W G Taylor, of Coleman, Texas, who holds the world’s record, writing 178 words to the minute, unfamiliar matter, after four weeks and five days study, says, “The Byrne Simplified Shorthand is not only speedy, but simple aud legible.” Ex-Governor Hubbard, of Texas, said that the Byrne Business Colleges were, in his opinion, the most thorough in scholarship and mode of instruc tion, F A Kuhns, Second Asst.

TANARUS., United States Court Reporter, says the Byrne Simplified Shorthand has no equal for court, reporting. Miss Mary Adair, of Maben, Miss., says she first studied Pitman Shorthand flien the Byrne, and tbat she found the advantages of the Byrne almost incredible, Mr Will Barnett, cf the U S Treasury Dept., at Wash ington, D C., says the Byrne Prac tical Bookkeeping is all that is claimed for it, and advises those contemplating taking a course to take none except the Byrne. Mr Ward S Ireland, official court re porter of the 68rd Judicial District of Texas, says, after failing, on six different - Pitmanic systems of shorthand, lie entered a Byrne Bus iness College, finished the course and began court reporting in five weeks, and that he stands ready to meet any writer of any other system in the world who has not had more than twice the shorthand experience of himself.
