CENTENARY M E. CHURCH j 90 YEARS OLDi The Intermediate-Senior de partment of the Methodist Sun day school, has been featuring “The Church” in its worship programs for several Sundays, and last week, interesting facts concerning Centenary Methodist church were given. It was brought out that the church here is 90 years old. having been established in 1840. Rev. James! E. Joyner was the first pastor! in charge of what was then i known as the Smithfield-Waynes- ; boro circuit. Three church build-j ings' have been in use since the j establishment of the church, two1 having been located on the site! of the present Coates boarding j licpse. An entry of interest was made! in the records during the Civil! War, following some sort of des- j erration by the Yankee soldiers The entry, made evidently by a I Yankee officer, reads as follows: “The members of this church I must still worship and pray that the war will soon come to a! close. And let this war be a les son for vou never to take up arms again against the best gov ernment in the world, the coun try that our forefathers fought for \and established. And now j you* are fighting to tear it down, j I am sorry to see the church and books misused so. but you must look it over. You must bear in mind that there are some reck- ! less men in the army that don't j care anything for themselves nor! anybody else.” Death of J. R. Braswell ! On February 16, about 7:?0 o'clock the family of Mrs. J. R. ! Braswell was deeply grieved when the death angel entered the home and took their true and faithful husband and kind end loving father. God in his good ness saw that lie had suffered long enough and called him home, where there will be no ■ more sickness. sorrow, pain, nor death, but all will be peace and happiness. Father had been sick about twelve months but was confined to his room about two .months prior to bis death. It I seems almost as if it were a i dream and oh if it could only be. but it would be cruel to wish him back in a sinful world when J he is now peacefully sleeping. , The deceased was 69 years and ■ four days old. He left to mourn his loss a wife and four rhil 11 dren, a host of grandchildren ; relatives and friends. The chil i.dren are as follows: C. R. Bras •IweU of Boon Hill township; W 5 B. Braswell of Princeton; Mrs 1 Jadi" Bunn and Mrs. Charlie Crocker of r.far Princeton. 3! The funeral was conducted a1 ■ j the home by Rev. S. H.
