MR. THOMPSON TRANSFERRED
IN MEMORY OF MRS. LANCE
1'he peoj)!© of Brevard were very
wnoh surprised and grieved to
lenrn early this tbnt Kpv.
D. Thompson, for the past
two years i>astor of the Brevard
Methodist chnreh, had been trans
ferred to Marion by the recent
nieeting of the Western North
Carolina Conference. Everyone,
irrespective of chnrch membership,
ii«d hoped and ex|>ected that he
wonld be retnrned to Brevard, and
the news of his transfer came as a
great snr])rise.
Although Mr. Thompson has only
lH*en here two years ho has made
scores of friends. The progress of
the A'eMjolist chnrch under his
hiadership lias been very great,
the work of the chnrch for the past
two years showing up better than
ever boforo in the history of the
chnrch.
3Ir. Thompson will be succeeded
by Hev. W. M. Robbins, who comes
from the Forest Hill church of
Concord, N. C. Mr. Robbins, al
though a stranger to this section
of the state, comt*s well recom
mended. His f»imily consists of a
wife and tkren children, the oldest
da tighter being only about fifteen
years old.
Rev. Mr. Thomp'on and family
will k*iive Bievard for their new*
lu-me U'day (S’riday), and as the
new pastor i !innt)t comj until next
Wdek there will be no services at
the Methodist chnrch next Snuday
unless someone can be secured for
a supply before Sunday.
FOR THE COUNTY HOME.
The 11, mbers and friends of the
lircvanl Betterment Association
sent to tlie County Homii inmates a
: v.liMi.iitiul tuik( y dinner in charge
( f Rev. and Mrs. E. H. Norwood.
Th.- menu consisted of roast turkey,
cnixiborry sauce, rice and potatoes,
hot biscuit. ])umkin pie, apples,
oranges, bananas, grap-'S, and
candy.
With faces wreathed in smiles
the five inmates greeted the arrival
of the j»ood things on Wednesday
afternoon and in iiarting bid [their
visitors “Come again.”
The Icindness of Mr. *King in
furnishing a surry for the occasion
is gratefully acknowledged.
rs. M. A. Lance, wife of S. M.
Lince, born October ^3, 1^46. died
No'^«'mber 27, 1913. She was a
daughter of Un^le Jackson Loftis,
who was a typical pionc^er of this
country. She was married to S.
M. Lance in 18C>.‘?, and to this luj])]iy
union was born eleven children--
eight of whom still survive her,
viz.: Sallie Kilpitrick, Addie Mc-
Gaha, Mai lie Orr, Susa Cart ^r, 11 ,
Hugh, Will and Clarence Lanc^i.
Mrs. Lince joined the Methodist
E-jiscopal Church, South, mjire
than forty years ago, and during
all this long tenn she had lead a
consistent Christion life. She and
her huslMind and family had en
joyed a quiet and hap^y home life
for the last forty-five yt'ars in tho
upper Little River valley.
Mrs. L'lnce having lived during
tli3 dark days of the civil war was
well equipped for the hardships
«nd sacrifices of her long and use
ful life MS the moHier of a ho!ne
and one of the nif)st i^diable neigh
bors of the community. She was a
diivoted wife, a kind and alT\*ctiou-
ate mother, a true and loval friend.
“The liglit in the home has gone
out.” “What is hom i without a
mother.”
Our sym])athy and kindness goes
out tt» the l)(»reHved husband and
children—but this v.-ill not sullice.
So w»* eoniinend them into tli«‘
keepinu of our heavenly 'father
who kn Aveth best and lovetli best.
So as tlie days and years roll on
We. too, must answer the solemn call,
p'or the Angel of Death is just and true
To send his summons to one :ind.all.
