Mra. Charlotte Steele.
We learn with sincere regret
of the death of Mra. Charlotte
Steels, of Thomas county, Ga., on
or about the 18th of December.
Mra. Steele waa about 76 years of
age. She waa a native of Anson
county, N. C., and a sister of
Ueasn. William Little, 8r., Geo.
Little, 8r. and John 8. Little, all
of whom are dead. Mra. Steele
waa a noble, kmdhearted chriat
ian lady, and we have uo doubt
she ia safe in “she haven of rest”
It waa our good fortune to live aa
her nearest neighbor, for a time,
iw Thomas county, Georgia, where
this editor taught school, and we
shall always remember gratefully,
her kindness to our family.

Aar exchange says, one day a
travelling man (you know what
that means) expressed surprise to
•n Irishman, who was feeding
meat to his chickens. He told
Pat it was a great waste, and sug
gested that he mix sawdust with
it and save half of his meal. Pat
was pleased with the idea, and
tried it. Later, the traveling man
was around again, and asked Pst
how the plan succeeded. It works
beautifully, exclaimed Pat. See
that yellow hen? Well I gave her
half and half and then gave her
all sawdust, and she hatched three
chickens with wooden legs and
the fourth one be jama, was a
darned old woodpeoker. Can’t
you give more suggestions?
