daughter, Mrs. A Trie Kirkman,
was standing by his bedside and
tears began to roll down her
cheeks and' he said: “Don’t worry
about me. Maybe by the grace of
God I will get well and if not, 1
am ready to go." He often told
his friends, “I aim ready to go;
I feel prepared to meet my God.” j
A few days before he died he |
said he wanted some one to go |
for his pastor, Rev. W. M. Ferrell.!
Rev. Mr, Ferrell came and Uncle j
Jim talked with him and told him j
he was not afraid to die, that
there was nothing between him
and his God. Oh! how happy we1
feel when we only stop to think
and realize his troubles are for
ever past. All is joy and happi
ness now. We mourn his departure
but we cannot wish him back in
this cold world of sin, sorrow and
trials 'of every kind. We can only
strive to prepare to meet him
when our Saviour calls us. We
often think just why he was taken
from us. It seems he was needed
so -much. But some day we’ll un
derstand. We can’t see why it was
so, but we know it was God’s holy
will. Uncle Jim was a faithful
l member cf Holly Springs Free
! w ill Baptist church and always
attended when he was able.
Funeral services were conducted
by Rev. W. M. Ferrell. The active
pallbearers were members cf the
Junior Order cf the Little River
Council of which he was a faith
ful member.
Why do we mourn departing
friends,
Or shake at death’s alarms ?
j *Tis but the voice that Jesus
sends.
IY> call them to his arms,
nhough lost, he’s lost to eamthi
Above He will be found.
A,midst the stars an<j near the
throne
Wlhioh saints like hiim surround.
A mortal bad disease came on
And laid his body low.
But 'Still -his faith in Oh-rist was
'Strong,
He isteem’d inclined to go.
There’s not a doubt uipon my mind
But victory he obtained.
Although he left us all behind,
I hope we’ll meet again.

Why Rebels Wore Ragged Clothes
The legislators of Indiana and
Governor Morton, with their
wives and daughters, went on a
visit of inspection to the prison
ers at Camp Morton in 1864. The
Confederates were called out for
dress parade and were made to
look as well as possible. This dis
tinguished body rode in fine car
riages. One lady had her carriage
stopped about ten feet from the
line. Opening the side door and
putting her head out, she asked:
‘‘Why do you rebel soldiers dress
so poorly?” One of the men re
plied: “Gentlemen of the South
. have two suits—one that they
! wear among nice people and one
that they wear when killing hogs,
and that Is the one in which we
are dressed today.’ She ordered,
the carriage to move on.—-C. jff.
