Everyone invited. Mrs. John Vowell was carried to the hospital at Greensboro last week for treatment. After few „days the Death A.ngel touched her'spirit and bade it leave all that was mortal and en ter the Mansion her Savior had prepared for her. She leaves a husband and one child, to mourn their loss. The child is very small, not old enough to realize the death of her mother. Mrs. Vowell was a Christian lady and to know her was to love her. W'e truly believe that He who she loved and served while Jiving took care of her in deat!h. She had no dark forebadings in cross ing the dark mystic river. Dearest mother tho has left us here, thy loss we deeply feel, weep not fond husband. She is so happy with her Savior while you are fighting the battles of life. Oui» esteemed milliner went to her home, Saturday evening. We think she drove the bay horse. We think there is a contract forming for the fu ture. Quite a gloom settled over our town about eleven o’clock Mon day when it was learned that Mr. Pinkney Parish was dead. His death was not unexpected as he had been standing for some time betwixt two unbounded seas. The Lord said to him, it is enough, come up higher and enter the joys of eternal peace. Surely a good man has gone to his re ward. We regret that Mrs. J. H. Mc Clure continues very ill. They have the sympathy of a host of friends. Someone broke into S. C.
