Spring Hope, N. C., Dec. 30, 1915
1916
Christmas has gone, the New
Year is approachuig with flying
steps and i’he Journal is still in
the laud o£ the living. When it
■was launched a few of the
^jnockers said “Well, it may last
until the end of the tobacco sea-
teon.” The tobacco season has
not yet ended, but it is on ita
ne^, kindliness, asid womanly
sweetness; but so simply and un
assumingly did she keep the
even tenor of her way that only
! those who knew her intimately
realized the rari beauty and
'strength of her character. Veri-
|ly a “Mother in Israel has gone
to her deserved reward, and her
chiliiren shall rise up and call
her blessed.”

The cemetery, too, might be
spoken of in the same terms. It
cc-tainly look.' forsaken with
all those weeds and brambles
growing over the graves.
