charge one cent a word. Please count the

Wilkerson. On March 19, 1918,
the eight-year-old daughter of J. L.
and Rosa D. Wilkerson went to sleep
and the following day we laid her
body in a new made grave in the cem
tery in Farmville. She was sick a
week, and her sufferings were in
tense all the time. Physician, nurse
and friends did all in their power to
relieve her sufferings but to no avail.
God wanted her so He took her from
us. But we know she is standing on
the other shore beckoning to us to
come over the line, where is no sor
row, grief or pain. So let us dry our
tears, for one day, if we are faithful
we will go there too. Auntie.
Hobbs. Eliza Jane Hobbs was
born April 10, 1848. She was the
daughter of Erwin Owen and Jane
(Parker) Owen. On April 29, 1869,
&he was married to Wm. W. Hobbs.
To them were born eight children:
Nellie, Ruth, Mamie, Furdie, Dora,
Johnnie, Adrian and Birta. About
eight years ago her husband died,
leaving her with her children. All
are now living. On March 27, she
heard the voice of the Good Shep
herd, whom she had followed since
the days of her youth. Her member
ship has been at old Andrews Chapel
since the day she joined. We will
miss her; but to Him who doethj all
things well, we must say "thy will be
done." Two brothers and two sisters
survive her, viz: Mrs. Virginia
Crumpler, J. R. Owen, T. I. Owen,
and Mrs. Jenettie Owen. H. E.

Allen. William S. Allen, who
lived near Vass in Moore county, was
born June 15, 1894.
Mr. Allen received a pistol shot
wound about, siv wrvoVo 0
who ogu auu was
brought to Rex Hospital. His condi
tion was considered serious, very
little hope being entertained that he
would recover. After lingering for
six weeks he died from the result of
the wound March 23, 1918. He joined
the Methodist Church when about 12
or 14 years of age, and was a mem
ber of Johnson's Grove when he died
As his pastor I visited him several
times at the hospital, and he always
greeted me with a smile. He was
bright and hopeful and beautifully
patient and uncomplaining under his
attliction. He was considered by
those who knew him a very exem-
ers
on.
Bagley. Mrs. Pattie Saund
Bagley was born near Wiliian,.,
N. C, in 1856, and died March '
1918. She gave! her heart to God

Bagley of Honolulu H. t
Russy). Her husband and thrpp
children preceded her to the grave
several years ago.
She was Lady Principal of Louis-
burg College and Littleton College
also president of Missionary and Aid
Society at Louisburg. She was
known in many towns in eastern
North Carolina especially in Wash
ington, Nashville, Beaufort, More
head City, and Greenville. Wherever
she lived it was her delight and pleas
ure to serve her God whom she loved,
which was demonstrated by her un
tiring efforts in Church and charita
ble work. During the past ten years
she has lived with her daughter, Mrs.
Yelverton in Stantonsburg. Here,
too, her Church work seemed to be
her greatest pleasure. She soon or
ganized an Aid Society of which, she
was president for nine years. She
was also teacher of the Ladies' Bible
class in the Sunday-school.
She is survived by two children,
Mrs. Yelverton, of Stantonsburg, and
Corp. R. S. Bagley, Ft. De Russy,
Honolulu H. T., two sisters, Mrs. M.
S. Barden, of Greenville, and Mrs.
S. S. Chesoon, of Plymouth, two sisters-in-law,
Mrs. Adelaide Worth
Bagley, of Washington, D. C, and
Willis Bagley, of Jackson, N. C. Be
sides these, there are several nieces,
nephews, and other relatives and
friends to mourn their loss. May the
God whom she so faithfully served
comfort the beareaved and give them
that persevering faith which should
lead them in the path of service for
humanity and God. 0. 0. Arm

born in Chatham county, near Chapel
Hill, N. C, August 20, 1852, and af
ter an illness of about twenty days,
fell on sleep of death at her home in
Siler City, N. C, about 10 o'clock
Monday morning, March 25, 1918.
She was the daughter of Alvis and
Mary A. Snipes, of precious memory
in the community in which the)
lived; their home being almost an
ideal Christian home.
On the 20th day of November,
1878, she was happily married to
John F. Lambe, of Chatham conn ,
with whom she lived in blissful liar
mony until the time of her transla
tion came. And her beautiful m
unselfish life has forcefully i lnstn
ted the power of divine grace to Keei
and regulate men in the midst oi
life's journey, and in this she has
( ueathed a rich heritage io w
loved children, who were so ae
devoted to their mother. Ana
that she has slipped away tne
wish that could be cherished for
children is that her mantle may
