Will lead 810 on #

The night in gone,
And with the raorn those angel faces smile
Which I have loved long since, and lot»t awhile.
Since the last issue of the Re
porter, we have stood at that most
solemn of all places on earth and
witnessed the closing of the tomb j
forever upon the forms of two'
friends. Today 'we offer these
simple tributes—our tears and
—sweetest remembrance.
JOSEPH W. PRATHER. I
The funeral was conducted from I
the home by Rev. Mr. Winecoff, j
of the M. E. church. In the par
lor the coffin lay embanked with
the most exquisite and costly
floral offerings, testimonials of the
love in which the deceased was 1
held. The choir sang "Lead, Kind
ly Light," ami other favorite
hymns of the departed. Not a
dry eye was in the assemblage
which filled the rooms, the halls,
the porch, and every available
standing place. The minister's
remarks were very touching.
Then came the tearful moment
when the dead matt was to be
borne away forever from his
loved home. With bared heads,
the Masons carried their brother
sadly out through the gate under
crossed lances. The sun shone
with splendor, though the air was
cold. The Blue Ridge, snow
crowned, scintillated with bright
ness. The muffled tread of the
hearse horses, the silent march of
the Masons, the subdued voices of
the funeral directors, the bowed
heads and the tears of the rela
tives and fri|nds, the long line of
slow-moving carriages, aud the
other various incidents of the oc
casion—how they shall linger in
our hearts!
At the grave the Masonic
ceremonies were beautiful
and touching, among which
was the locked circle and the
march around the casket, each
member dropping upon the coffin
ft sprig of evergreen with these
sad words : "Alas !my brother !
Thy soul we surrender to God, thy
body to the tomb."
Joseph W. Prather was born at
Mount Airy September 10, 1852.
He professed religion and joined
the M. E. Church South at Pine
Bluff, Tenn., in 1872. He had a
high sense of honor, was a loving
husband, an affectionate father, a
true friends
The sincere sympathy of the
writer goes out to those who knew
him best—knew all the noble
of his character, and who
weep for him with a grief which
only time can allay.

' CAPT. 8. B. TATLOR.
The funeral of the late Capt. S.
B. Taylor was conducted from the
M. E. churoh, Thursday A. M. at
11 o'clock by his pastor, the Rov.
J. T. RH Hedge, assisted by the
Rev. J. H. Robertson. ""Jesus,
tiover of My Soul," "Nearer, My
God to Thee," and "How Firm a
Foundation'' were softly and
sweetly rendered by the choir,
after which the body was laid to
rest by the side of his wife, who
preceded him to tltfe grave several
years ago.
The pallbearers were the four
sons who survive—Messrs. S. H.,
Jno. M., J. Spot and Roland C.
Taylor.
Capt. Taylor was one of the Re
porter's most valued friends, and
was often a contributor to these
columns. His reminiscences if
old times, his war stories and his
tory sketches, published several
months ago, were very entertain
ing and instructive and we hope
to re-priut them at an early day.
There under the whispering
pines where he lies may his spirit
sleep in peace, within the shadow
of the old church he loved so well.
Letter from William.
Mr. Editor :
Having promised you that I
would write again, and dogs being
011 my mind at present, I would
like to write a word or two about
the way my neighbors raise their
dogs.
Of course, they want to do the
thing thats right by them, for its
not an uncommon thing to see
nearly as many dogs at preaching
as you see people. There are
people in this neighborhood that
has been carrying their dogs to
prayer meeting and Sunday school
and preaching for years, and I
can't see that their dogs get any
better. I don't believe that those
dogs understand the Gospel, for
they won't sit down and be quiet
and listen while the preacher is
preaching like good dogs ought to
do, but they are continually
growling and snapping and fight
ing all the time of service. I don't
believe they will ever be convert
ed. So I think it would be much
nicer to leave your dogs at home.
Oh, they say that they can't make
old Trip stay at home. Well I
have heard it said that if you feed
one about two ounces of shot out
of a double barrel shot gun that it
would stop the most unruly dog
that there is from going to church.
Try it neighbor, and get the good
will of the people, and besides save
lots of cold bread for the pigs
Some years ago I raised a hound
and he followod me to church one
Sunday, but I don't believe he en
joyed the sermon for he left be
fore preaching was over, aud he
was never known to go to preach
ing after that.
Now, if John Smith goes to
church with about three doses of
Walnut Cove hallelujah on and
happeus to say anything wrong he
is indicted, but if Jim Blank and
Jake Jones carries their dogs to
clnych and they get into a fight
and have the women and children
playing leap-frog over the benches
aud there is nothing said about it.
Oh for a dog-killer in truth and
indeed for this part of the moral
vineyard.
With best wishes to the Repor
ter and its readers.
WILLIAM.
