After ten days absence in Florida
we returned home on Tuesday
night of last week, and to tell you
the truth, we were glad to get back.
We really did not enjoy but a cou
ple of days while away, because we
were sick the balance of the time.
Our destination was Crystal Riv
er. This is one of the most beauti
ful streams in the world The
water is so clear and crystal like un
til you can see hundreds of fish-of
all species, shooting hither, thither
thirty or forty feet below in the
water. Itisindeed, a queer sight
to a stranger, who has never seen a
clear river like this one. That}
country is the sportman’s paradise.
The town at the head of the riv-‘
er is filled with kind and hospitable
people. And, they are zas enter
prising and public-spirited as they
are kind. Wish we could lengthen
out on Crystal River, for we like
the people of that section, but our
space is limited this week.
While going down, there were
two girls sitting across the isle from
us. They seemed to be between 15
and 16 years of age. One was a
modest, quiet girl, had nice, lady
like manners. The other one wasn't ‘
still a moment. She would go from‘
seat to seat, and would giggle at
everybody and everything, and tried
to flirt with every male person on
the train---irrespective to age. Now
young man, which one of these two
girls would you prefer to marry, isl
you had your choice? 1
We are glad to state, that Mrs.
J. H. Boone is able to be up again
after being ill for several weeks.
She is a most excellent little lady,
and her neighbors think the world
of her, and are rejoieed to see her
able to visit them once more. She
called on Mrs. N. R. Swain on
Monday afternoon last, which was
the first time she had been out any
where in many days.

A Letter From |. L, Gook.
’ On the morning of the 30th of
!Qct.o})er. 1909, as the sun was ris
,mg in the lastern horizon, the
| Death Angel visited my home and
‘took my dear wife. There arose
'with the sun a dark cloud of adver
sity that has been hovering over me
since that sad hour. Surely it was
‘the greatest calamity that could
possibly have befallen me. And
‘while sheding tears above a new
made grave, and realizing in my
grief that my loss is irreparable, I
now wish to thank my neighbors
and friends who so kindly came to
my rescue during the few hours of
her last illness and ministered unto
her sufferings; and to Doctors Hall
and Girtman, who so faithfully did
all that medical aid could do to
stay the dreaded disease that was
sapping the vital cords of life.
But alas, the brittle cord was
broken. I also desire to thank
Dr. R. M. Montgomery and wife,
and Mr. E. M. Bean and wife, whp
so kindly offered to care for my in
fant babe, which was only two days
old, during my great misfortune
and bereavement. To all these
good people I wish to say, that
they have a warm place in my heart
that will, ever remain with me, un
til T am called to answer the same
sad summons as that of my dear
wife. My heart is filled with =ad
ness and my eyes with tears. 1
knew her in the sacred relations of
life. First as my wife, my help
meot, the companion of my youth
the mother of my children, whom
she loved more than her own life,
and then when the frost began to
fall, as a mantle upon her head and
the weight of care and the burden
of years to bend the precious
shoulders that bore so many
burdens for the care of our children,
we were all the more to each other,
and our love instead of diminishing
arew and grew until it seems to me
since she has gone from me so sud
denly, slipped away from me, leav
ing me the sacred charge of follow
ing her, leading our children to the
foot of the Cross, and finally re
turning on the morn of the res
urrection, that until that day my
life must remain incomplete. This
separation:is an inexplicable provi
dence as I now see it. But for my
faith in God, and my knowledge of
my wife’s abiding faith in God, and
profound belief in the excellency of
her character and the purity of her
motives, all mingled with the hope
of a great glad reunion in the great
beyond, I could not bear this great
loss, or be able to say “Lord, Thy
will be done.” - I. L. Cooxk.
