The many friends of Mr. and Mrs.
J. M. qudwpll, extend to them their
sympathies in the death of their
daughter, Mrs. Agnes Rakestraw.
Mrs. Rakestraw had been sick for
several weeks, but seemed much bet
ter last Sunday, and was up and walk
ed in the yard; returning to her room
about five o’clock, lay down on the
bed; her daughter, Lillian, found her,
about 5:30, with her babe of two
months, folded in her arms, “Asleep
in Jesus.” She was a woman of a
fine Christian character, loved by all
that knew her. Funeral service was
conducted Monday afternoon at Pop
lar Springs cemetery, by Revs. Gil
land and Waldon, and the body was
laid to rest by the side of a dear little
one that had passed away some time
back. The many beautiful floral of
ferings testified the esteem of her
many friends that gathered to witness
the last sad rite.
~ Besides her parents, she leaves a
‘husband, one step-child, and five lit
tle children; five sisters and two
brothers, now in France; with many
relatives. These bereaved ones have
the love and sympath~ of many in
‘Austell and Powder Springs, their
old home.

tin, in Paulding county. 3
‘ One of our splendid Baptist ladies
‘was heard to remark when peace was
‘declared that she meant to do a Meth
}odist stunt, in the way of shouting.
‘We suspect there was more Method
ists Monday than any other denom
ination, if it took shouting. ;
~ Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Perkerson will
leave Friday for Oklahoma, to make
itheir future home. May they be sue
cessful. -
Mr. J. A. Miller lost a fine milch
cow this last week.
We wish some one would correctly
inform some of our people that have
been under the impression that no one
but a Catholic has been allowed to
preach to our boys. Some even have
it down our President is a Catholic,
and say that is the reason only Catho
lics are allowed to preach in the
army. This is their excuse for ngt
adding to the War Fund drive. It’s
deplorable some people are so easy
to convince upon a matter, if it’s
‘their way. : ;
(Ed.—This is a very false impres
‘sion, and should be dispelled as quick
1y as possible. As to the religious
‘denomination of our President, he is
a good old-fashioned Presbyterian.)
