For many years he was superin tendent of the Sunday school near his residence. In 1878 he was married to Miss Lucinda Davis Fuller with whom he lived in wedded happiness until in April, 1918, she preceded him to that better land. Many years ago he moved to Ox ford, and became identified with its business and industrial life; at the same time he was active in the life of the church and lived his religion amidst the hurry and turmoil of life. For nearly a year he has been in declining health and was a great suf ferer, though no one would have sus pected it from any word of com plaint that fell froii. his lips. The sunset of his life was beautiful. He believed in prayer, and not only! prayed himself often, but asked for his pastor to read God's Word, and pray with him.

M. U., will be in Ra leigh next Tuesday morning, October 7, and will speak at the First Bap tist church at 11 o'clock. Miss Mallory is an unusually strong and attractive speaker full of the joy of service, and of love for the Master and a lost world. She will speak especially to the women in the interest of the 75 million dol lar campaign. Every woman in the Flat River Association who possibly can should avail themselves of the great oppor tunity of hearing Miss Mallory. I therefore urge that some women go from every church to hear her speak at the First Baptist church in Ra leigh next Tuesday at 11 a. m. and remain to hear Dr. Truett in the Ra leigh Auditorium at 2:30 p. m.
