Obituary.
On last Friday night Mr. John
Elam finished life’s drama, He
had been in bad health for some
time and had just returned home
from a trip to Hot Springs. Mr.
Elam leaves to mourn his death
a wife and eight children and a
great many other relatives.
Death is the end of all things
earthly. No matter what our sta
tion, no matter how wealthly
nor how poor, how honest nor
how deceitful, death is the com
mon lot of all. This thought is
beautifully expressed in Grays
Elegy. “The boast of heraldy, the
pomp of power,
And all that' beauty, all that
wealth e’re gave,
Awaits alike the inevitable
hour;
The path of glory leads but to
the grave.”
Every funeral and every death is
a silent monitor to the living
pointing to the suncapped moun
tains of eternity. No sermon
touches and causes thought as
the silent example of our utter
helplessness; lips, once fraught
with words of kindness, now
cold and mute; eyes onoe telling
unmeasurable love, now closed in
death; hands willing to do the
acts of mercy, now still and
helpless: Where is there such
another moniter aloug life’s
pathway, although sad and heart
breaking as4t is, that points to
tire court where God will be the
Judge and Jury and Christ the
advocate of all.
These sad events should cause
us halt in our course and begin
our pilgrimage toward Zion and
our future home.
Our heart bleeds in sympathy
with the bereaved family.
Grandma Pinny, of Tip, visited
the family of Col. A. J. Marsh
last week.
H. Arnof, our most extensile
clothing dealer, was in Memphis
a few days this week. Look out
for his bargain add next week.
M. J. Johnson is actually rais
iug sweet-potatoes of the bloom
ing variety. This is the truth
and the like wre have never before
seen, but then M. J. could al
most make a defeated candidate
b loom.
