Dillard, Dec. 27. Louis Turner Mitchell, a victim of consumption for about a year, peacefully passed away Wednes day evening, December 21st, 1904, near Dillard, at the age of 33 years. He leaves to mourn his absence a beloved wife and daugh ter, an aged and afflicted mother and three brothers, one brother and his father, also a little son had preceded him to the spirit land. Turner, as we all called him, was naturally of a kind and gentle disposition and was much beloved by his people and all who knew him, but he is gone and we are left to mourn, but hope the good Lord may bless this dispensation of His providence to the good of us all and that we may in due time be prepared to meet him in Heaven above where parting is no more. Let us remember what a terrible destroyer death is, and that it makes no respecter of persons. It dares to invade the homes of crowned heads and the princes of the earth, all, all must die! But is there not a country fairer than this where there is no death ? Let us remember in this season of mirth and festivity that death the reaper is busy, and that we too must soon be called to go hence, and that the place that knows us now shall soon know us no more forever.
