Alexander Dead. he Our people were shocked beyond Is measure last Monday morning whenI th the news came flying over town that th Claude Alexander was dead. They were stunned by tho intelligence and is cook1d nout. Prasp the import. ti( Mr. Alexander died in a sanitarium ( in Asheville, N. U., wher he bad an been for about ton days in quest of es heaLth, but all that could be done for an him was of no avail. Claude Hagood Alexander was a th son of P. McD. and M. E. Alexander St atid was about 33 years of ago. - He fr was raised in Pickens and received his early training at the common schools here, later graduating at the as College of Charleston. He read law in in Washington and was admitted m to practice but did not follow his in profession. ' A few years ago be was married to Mrs. Laura Hagood O'Neal, of Rirmingham, Ala, and his wife andl a at two children and his mother and one brother survive him. 'I He was a young man who had a e1 large circle of fiends and was uni ver.ally liked by all who knew him, do ana they, with heavy hearts, will drop a tear to the memory of C. H Alexander, His death has brought the bittei I cup of sorrow to the lips of friends and relatives. It is sad at any time to stand be side the bed of the dying and watch life's ebbing tide drifting the lovetd one slowly, perhaps, but surely, in to the great ocean of eternity. We can meet the pain of parking with some degree of fortitude; but the sting of death, in all of its agonizing features, bursts upon us in 'all of its horror wben we part nith a loved one in the rosy flush of life and reoeivtj tbemu back in the cold embrace of that, grim monster, Death. None but those who have sat in the shadow of a great bereavement can justly weigh such a sorrow as this. The silver cord is loosed, the gold 5 en bowl is broken, the dust has re turned to the earth as it was; the spirit has returned to the God who gsave it. The devoted boy who remembered his Creator in the days of his youth, n jre the evil days cmme, or the years n drew nigh when he should say "I al hAve no pleasure in them," has fin- a ished his course and reached the h heavenly goal while yet an infant in o the race of life. ti The last services were held at the d home of his mother on Tuesday even. d ing at 5 o'clock, Rev. J. F. Mlathe,.on officiatmng, arnd at 6 o'clock at the Hagood family burymig ground thee mortal remiains of our friend and ne-ighbor were lowered to his final i resting place, to calmnly await the reward of a just God. To the broken-hearted mother, tc brother, wife and little children, whot sit in sorrow where his footsteps j shall never again find echo, we extendh our heartfelt sympathy. When thev have drained the cup may the peace that passeth all understanding come to them from One who cares for each little sparrow that falls,.i Liberty. Mrs. D.I H. D~avis, who has been quite sick for some time, is better,h and hopes are entertained for a comn plete secovery. Several visitors are now entertain ecl by our citiz'ons in anel aroun d d town. Mrs. M. E lioatwright and T Mrs. Edith Leonard, of Polzer, are visiting relatives in the community. F Mr. and Mras Bluford Alexander n paid a visit to the family of W. 3. floggs last week. Miss Lucille Tlhomas, of A tlanta, A ^ ,s been a guest at the Brown house veral weeks. Many more visitors a writer would report if she had eir names. The meeting at the Baptist church still in progress, with eight, addi. ms to the meinborshin io-far. Rev. truer is a consocraaid Christian d has pretched soveral plam, earn sermons, and hats made Christ d His love and willinguess to save all who put their trust in Him -a a E main basis of hia arguments. ch sermons cannot fail to bear ]it. I heard a mother some time ago k her son of perhaps 18' summers iy be didn't take an active interest church work? "Why, mother, n't you know that all they (mean g the old church member.) want to do is to help when there is any >ney to be raised? We haven't got nse en:ugh-so they think-to do ything else," replied the young an. Not long after that I was at ureb whore they were electing del ates to a religious gathering when, my surprise, out of nine or ten igates, nut one young man was the list. I said perhaps my young iend was right-they didn't want em only when they wanted money. think the church is doing a great rong when they do not couple the )uthful energy with its gray haired isdom in church work. But dear >ung people, do not let that deter >u from doing something to help hove distress and bring sunshine to some life. I think if the young ore allowed to spend part of the ioney they contribute in helping to Alieve distress in their o yu town ud community, they would give iore freely. Many vj niolle' W9rth f eaudy or gum woild be dispeiAed vith if they cuuld see where the >oney went, instead of sending it off aChina or Africa. Now, don't think hat I am against foreign missions, )r I am not; indeed, there is no tronger advocate of foreign missions ian I. Did you ever n9tqe hqW much more enthusiasilaily -otdk sople work when they can see the rruit?" Perhaps there is some one ek, and he or she cannot afford the Beessary nourishment and ice or moos, perhaps fuel and clothing -e needed. Now, my young friends, are is where you can go ahead with it the consent of the Solomons of ie church. Tell the needy ones tAt you are all banded together to ) sunshine work, and that you ould tke it as a pleasure to be al wed to help. Another way is to mid good literature to those who 'e not likely to receive any except he given. Not the Ingst- among to things you can do is to make the ranger welcome to your church. 'u you not recall a time when you, o, was at a strange church, and how nch "at home" you would have felt vi pome one spoken to you and vetn you a hymn book, and after rvice told yon to come again? I will desist, hoping that anm abler an will take up this subject and do justice. DREAMI:R. Men PaMst. Sixty in Dlanger.
