Ki El l II S II ji lilU lURHAii RECQiDER. 1 SEMI -W E EK UV. VOLUME 89." DURHAM, N. C, MARCH 24, 1908. NUMBER 92. HEWS FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENTS items of Interest from Various Places as Viewed and Told . i by Those on the Field. Personal f Hartil lllls Items. Our farmers are indeed very busy ac present breaking up land planting vegetables, etc. It is very sad indeed for us to chronicle ithe sad death of oar friend Mr. G. T. Sally who pass d away into the great beyond, March 9, just two weeks from the time of the burial of his &U dren all living. She was a de voted christian -having united with the Baptist church at Olive Branch church and was baptized by the Rev. Jas. King where she remained a true worshiper until death, claimed her. Her life was what we seldom see in this world, that of as near a true and perfect christian, as is possible ter Mrs. Mollie Horton. Mr. I for a person to live in this world Sally was sick only about ten J of sin and sinful cares and catch- j TT: fr..: M nani'ieo TViiltr fViia knma Vioa Hoof days. His suffering was very reat but ho bore it with strength and courage. This is a very heavy blow on his aged mother who is in very feeble health. Two months ago both of her chil dren were in good health and now they are silently sleeping their last sleep and still more sorrowful on her past. The same day her daughter died, her fav orite nekc Mrs. Murray of Bur Jingtonwas buried. Mr. Sally was a good man and everybody that knew him, liked him. He was a true christian having been a member of Clement church for many years and there amid the Siant oaks his body is resting. Rev. S. Y. Brown is very sick .at the home of his neice Mrs. R. L Long. The public school closed at this place a few days ago and our teachers have gone home. Miss Rigsbee to Durham and Miss Thomason to Seroora. Spring time i her and it makes us feel good to know that Cod in his mercy has spared our . lives thaugh the desolate winter months. It is very ad if we will only look back and count up the alarming number of deaths that have carried our friends and loved ones to their long reward, and those of us who are left should try to livei better Jlife, not knowing what hour nor day we may be called upon to give an account of our stewardship. Death is a mysterious object that comes upon us unawares and very often whn we least ex pect it, we are face to face with it. So now a3 beautiful spring is here and our master is blessing us with beautiful song birds and flowers, lets all try to see if we cannot do something the remain ing months of this year that we will always be pleased to refer to. As news is a little scarce I will close with a hurrah for Hon. W. W. Kitchm for our next gover nor. Mrs. Fannie R. Daniel is on the sick list this wek. DEATH OF MRS. NANCY TOOLE. Again we are called to the dvinz bedside of one who was near and dear to U3. This time being a great aant of the writer, but owins to the illness of my oast I failed to get to see her even after the icy fetters of death laid held on her and bore her immortal soul far away to the .mysterious beyond. The subject of thi.4 notice is Mrs. Nancy Poole. Prior to her mar riage she was one of eight chil dren of the late James and Re becca Daniels, of Wake county, and was born Dec. Srd, 1822 and departed this life March 7, 1903, making her abode In this world SC years, 3 months and 4 days. Mrs. Poole was married to Mr. N. A. Poole when she was 25 years old and to this union were born 8 children all of whom sur viviit t vc, 27 mnl- chllJr j . auu iJ 0..i brM.Ki c.-i.- es. lruly this home has been made sad a dark veil of sorrow is brooding over it, why because there is no mother their to con sult for advice, no mother to speak kind word3 to them when others have hurt their feelings no pleasant voice of mother is heard in singing songs of praise to her master. It was a great pleasure of hers to converse on Biblical topics and her entire life was spent in obedience to her master trying to point some poor sinful mortal to The Lamb of God who taketh away our sins and prepares our souls for Jeru ealemthe home of the angels and her master. It was her de sire to live not alone for herself, but for those she loved and it was the kind mercy of her mas ter that her life was prolonged to thai of great age and to see all of her children become christians. She was blessed with uuusual good health most of her life un til a few months prior to her health began to fail but even in her last hours she was conscious and repeatedly prayed that God in his mercy, if it be his will, to take her soul away from this world of pain and sin. Nearer and still nearer the silent watch esor death began to hover a- round her, and very touching in deed wasZthe silent clearness of death when the invisible spirit spirit appeared and sealed her lips forever in this world, with out a tremor or struggle, thus we tme the reward, she had lived right and her master caused her last hours to be that of real joy to her. Her greatest sorrow was in leaving her son at the old home alone, and truly it will be sad for there is no other one that can fill her place ai mother. Her family, her church and her friends and her entire communi ty have indeed lost one who was a blessing to them. A. P. D. sick list for a good while, bat he is now improving some.
