This time he has cut down a young man in the very budding of manhood. The dread f 11 monster arrayed himself in the glaring shroud of a dread disease and stalking Into a happy home stole 'he youngest and best loved of them all. Trie end came just as the grey streaks of dawn marked the passing of the night and told of the coming of day, and how fitting was the hour, for at that mo ment mother's baby boy and our brother, George M. Gray, passed out from the night of suffering and pain into tne morning dawn of eternal rest He was a great sufferer. For twenty- two months he fought the dreadful monster which at last brought him down to the grave. All the time he was conscious ot his condition, yet patient, hopeful and resigned. No man ever heard him murmur at his Int. The cause of his trouble was a mystery, and, though others asked, "Why?" he left it all with God. He looked for the solution into the great beyond, and loved that d9ar old hymn that best expressed his own resigned feeling, "Sometime We'll Understand." He knew the end must come, but he tore his suffering with fortitude, calm ness and peace of soul that remains as a precious source of comfort to his friends and loved ones. He has taught U3 how to stem the tide of death. George Joyed his home and mother. To him these were earth's sweetest words. He was the youngest and most devoted ot the children and the pet of the family. And George loved hia Loid. For several years he had been a follower of Jesus. He was a regular attf niant at church and loved to please his pastor. No request did he fail to grant, no duty did he fail to perform when asked. Even after the dreadful disease was preying upon his vitals and sapping his strength he sighed for the courts of Jehovah's temple. He loved his Sunday-school. He had a Blb'e, the prize won for regular attendance for five years at Suudav-school. As long as he was able he went, even after he was confined to his bed he often begged to go to Sunday-school and at last when the stupor of disease had laid Its fangs upon bis mind, in his wanderings be talked of Sunday-school. He was one ot the charter members of the Baraca Class and loved its progress and work. He is the first of the class to cross the river and join the heavenly Sabbath-school. We ehall miss him from our number. Modest, manly and courteous he was loved of all and a host of companions and friends join the mother, sisters and brothers in their mourning and extend to them the deepest sympathy and love of bleeding hearts. To the afflicted family we extend our love and tenderest sympathy and invoke the presence and comfort of our Heavenly Father. Be still sad heart, the loved one has gone, but iragrant is tne memory 01 his devotions and his gentle, manly life and beyond the gloom and shadow ot the grave lies the land of eternal sunshine and eyer blooming flowers. A number of the Baraca class attend ed the funeral in a body at 11 0 clock Tuesday, Oct. 23rd, and his Sunday school teacher, Prof. C. W. Wilson, with the floral offerings by others, laid upon the grave a beautiful cross of white ribbon by the Baraca class. The remains were interred in the Bap tist cemetery, Rev. G. T. Lumpkin conducting the services. His Pastor. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. The Coming, Going and Whereabouts ot Our People and Other Folks. The Meeting Continues. The protracted meeting in the Bap tist church continues this week. The very inclement weather has hindered many people from attending the meet ing, but those who haye attended have greatly enjoyed the powerful gospel sermons by Dr. Hatcher. On all sides people are saying that more powerful gospel sermons have never been beard here. Dr. Hatcher s masterful efforts have made good the Baying that he ia one of the strongest and most forceful gospel preachers in the country. In his discourses every word Is well chosen, every sentence is beautifully impressive and his arguments thoroughly logioal. The plan of salvation is made so plain that the simplest mind can understand it. The community Is greatly favored in having Dr. Hatcher these days and the meeting and such powerful preach ing cannot fail of great good. There was more interest in the meeting last night than before. Services are held every afternoon at 4 o'clock and every night at 7 :30. Registration Notice.

The Way The tissues of the throat are inflamed and irritated; you cough, and there is more irrita tion more coughing. You take u t 1 .1, a cougn mixture aim il cases uic irritation for a while. You take COTTS EMULSION and it cures the cold. That's what is necessary. It soothes the rhrnat because it reduces the irritation ; cures the cold because it drives out the inflammation; hnilds ud the weakened tissues because it nourishes them back to their natural strength. That's how Scott's Emulsion deals with a sore throat, a cough, a cold, or bronchitis. WE'LL SEND YOU A SAMPLE FREE. WALTER WILKINSON. January 18, 1887-October 21, 190. At six o'clock on Sunday just as the evening twilight was fading before the gloom of night, Walter Wilkinson ans wered to the summons and passed into eternity. The candle of life went out with the setting of the sun, yet his was not the day far ppent but early morning, for he was not yet twenty. His death was a mystery, for he was so young and so strong, yet succumbed to but a few hours si cknes. He leaves a father, one brother and seven sitters to mourn hia death. Their hearts are breaking and their tears like a river flow. Our hearts go out in deepest sympathy and love to them ana we mingle our tears with theirs. We commend tbem to the compas sion, mercy and consolation of God and bid tbem lean upon His ever-helping arm. "I am the resurrection and the life." His remains were .interred at Deep Creek church a few miles from town late Monday afternoon. O. T. Lumpkin. Can you win?
