A iftlBVTK j On the twelfth of January 1J39 lome time in the afternoon, one irriter hag said in the morning it ;roweth up and in the evening it b cut down and weathereth, so ^ u tie evening the death angel ? iaited the home of Mrs. L. P. ' ?licks and called her off the field I >f labor to her reward. Mrs. Hicks ? vas born April 28, 1861. She ? vas about 77 years. 9 months old. ' n her early life, even tn these ' lays, it is unusual to' see a girl ' oin the church at such an early ' late. It was not so with Mrs. J licks, she professed faith in j 'hris& and joined the church at J he age of 16 years, back in the - lays of slavery when everything ' vas dark and gloomy. Churches ? vere very few, and the sidewalks 1 fere muddy and hilly, and the coii- < renience to get to church wasj' re ry poor. Even bhe homes and ' ihurches and streets was furnish- 1 >d by lamps, but in spite of all J his, Mrs. Hicks found her a rest- j ' ng place. She realized that some'' lay she would be called away, or,' n obher words she would have to ! nove. The writer of this knew ? ler well. She was a great woman, ;here was no mercy to the poor sven the sorrowing thab she did not minister to the limits of her power. The church and commu- , aity feel its vacancy when an in telligent woman is- withdrawn for sver from its service. It was 1 true she had her periods of youth and old age, her ups and downs, bub she was like the oak of the torest whose branches withered, j but yet stood the storms and gales of centuries gone by. bub in spite of wailing wind and angry blast she sprang forth into a new life and beauty and a new creature. ! Can it be possible thati Mrs. L. P. Hicks is dead, the need of the church at present is so great and her interesti in the community welfare was so keen, then to she was a great worker in the church. She held some of the important positions in church, the best of all but not least she was a teacher in the Sunday School which is the plant bed for the church, for1 many years. Mrs Hicks was once a women of health, a woman of beauty, a woman of blessing, but now she is dead, deformed, the family stricken bewails its love | one gone, the church mourns over an illustrious woman. 62 years of her lift? was spent' in the service I of Christ. I am especially inter- ' ested in Mrs. Hicks because of ihe feeling and the attitude she car ried ill her heart- from time to | time for the colored race. She ; always carried a smile, and at times had wholesome advice to impart, in fact that' warm feeling j has gone through the family. 1 am reminded mow of Hugh Leon ard, who spent over half of his life with them, and tile servant that worked there had no special time to stop. Mrs. Hicks' ac quaintanceship was of such which ripened into a friendship for life time. The poe.t says must I go ^>n empty handed, must I meet nij Saviour so, it was nob that way with Mrjj. Hicks, she had many sheaves ' to carry "tf the church ever be blessed to'haVe the living honor, cherish and resn/ict to tiie dead. Mrs. Hicks is aile woman that should be remembered by those who knew h.e/'best. It was on the 12t'h of January 1939 when our last enemy/ death, rode out and halted hei/ at the bedside, then and th f/f sorrow and grief shrouded tl>e vicinity in which she lived. About 5 years ago Mr Hicks was called from the fleUl of labor. We can imagine that it was a happy meeting when Mr. and Mrs. Hicks met together, and she began to tell the old story,] about how she caAie over. Mrs. Hicks' religion did nob aonsist in dogma, but in a present trust In het Lord. She pillowed her h?td not rtpon a stone fn the desert but' oMjhe bosom of the ascending and descending angel * Her going Was beautiful. Just such a sunset' as she herself would have wished. Mrs. L. P. Hicks leaves two broth ers. one son. two daughters, and eight grandchildren and a host of friends bo mourn their loss. To her brothers and her chlldren,and members of the family, Mrs llicks is not dead, she Is only sleeping EUTRICT HAZELWOOD. < I. K:\NIMJ TOBACCO SKK1?

I- V Careful, skillful and intelligent' guidance and advice for maintaining and assuring Health is the more logical etep, the sounder business method and most Natural trend for a Healthier, Stronger both mentally and physically, and Active Humai) Body. -\ % The Nat-Ural- System of Health ? CHIROPRACTIC ? is the most logical and sounder business means of obtaining this guidance and care. The trouble is that "it is only -the intelligent individual who is adept at planning that under stands the importance of regular physical examination to prevent sickness." Most people wait until tihey are sick before consulting Doctors about their health. Even though, they are those Intelligent individuals, many times they neglect their Health due to the rush of business or hurried living of our present day life. \ The splendid results in the cases of periodic check-up more than justify t?he few minutes and small cost. Proper and skilled advicq and teachings from a Dactor well trained and experienced In NATURAL HEALTH CARE, as your Doctor of Chiropractic, is worth far inore'than the small pecuniary -expenditure involved.
