The road, when finished will be-quite uu udditiou to this and adjoining commuuiti es. The scenery through which it passes is flue and lovers of uature will enjoy the beauty and grand eur which greets the eye on eery side. If all our good citizens who will be benefited there by would take as much interest in its con struction as our worlhyuierchant G. L.

Bn Joseph 1 PrtsieL It has become oar iJ dutf to record Ibe death of another one of our members, Joseph S. I'res nell who was born Sept. th 1P79 and died Sept. ;irJ, 1013, aged XI years. 11 tno. and 27 days, lh professed faith in Christ and joined thischurcb it Hrubj Fork Xov. 10. IMC. He, like many of us, made some mistakes and some misteps in his eirlj curia, tianlife and wandered away from the lold, but the Lord in His goodness and mercy brought him back to the fold again, and from that time until his death he lived a consistent christian life. It was sad indeed to thecburcb and all t he friends to bear of the death of Pro. Presnell, taken so sudden ly from tbe dear wife and little ones, and while tbe church feels tbe loss of her members, none sustains so great a loss as the wife and orphan children. But our loss is his tternal gain and may God in His goodness and mercy be a father to tbem and may we all lend a helping band to them in their need and lonli uess, and may this sudden death of our Bro. be a warning to us all to be ready, "lor in such on hour as ye think not, the son of man cjmeth."' 1,.
