Alas ! how soon our friends wc snatched nw ny from us, und a whole community plunged Into grief. But a fow days ago we stood at the graves of Halford Flctalicr, Crawford Easter]inc and Carrlo Lee Ham ilton, and now to day wo arc again at the houso of mourning in tho presence of thu our tidy remains of thc venerable and ven erated Mrs. Sarah Cook, who departed this life February 15th 1885 in thc seventy fifth your of her age. Thc end canto suddenly and unexpectedly, but sho was doubtless ready for tho summons. In January of tho year 1830 she was united in most holy wedlock lo Col. Win, Cook, of precious memory, and was related by blood and marriage to many of thc best families of Marlboro. In Bennetlsvillo, where she had lived sc long, and so worthily, she was held in thc highest esteem and her memory will cvoi he sacredly and tenderly cherished by hoi surviving friends and relativos* She en tor cd the communion of thc M. E. Chinch South] hi the spring limo of lifo and con tinned a most exemplary member .horco until death, j The ample moans she once possessed her Saviour. She delighted lil minislcrim to the ministers of tho Cospel, who wen often the recipients of her genial and ole I gani hospitality. I The poor were Hie objects of her consid : ernie compassion and made to rejoice ii 1 tho benefactions of herselfand lier "devot et I husband.

In nc i gi.hoi I i ness and all Hie sweet com tesies anti iiiiiciilllcs til'life she excelled anti contributed no little to the. enjoymoii anti happiness of those around lier. Sho had intelligent recognition of "th truth us it is in Jesus," and profound ap predat ion of Christian duty and obligatio! With her duty was a word whoso t.uie slf. niiicanco could only he measured by th tole.inn Issues of eternity, and whose nit malton could only bc determined by llii who sd loved her as lo nive His only b< gotten Son to die for her. The futthi'i conscientious discharge of thu rosponslbl liles of Church membership was the testi monluls of her love and devotion (o' lu Lord and Saviour. Her true womanly intuitions and taste guided by tho light divine-enabled her \ respect the false and meretricious in sent mont and manner anti cleave to that whit is true and pure anti good? As a follower of Christ .she was ev mindful td" the injunction: "\> hose udor lng. let it not be I hut outward adorning plaiting Hit! hair, and ?d' wearing td' gol or pulling tm of apparel; but let it bo t lihidett man Of tit? heart, in thal which not corruptible, even thc ornament of meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sig of ( Jod Ci'great price." ?She never sacrificed the substance for l shatlow; but lil all thing* exhibited ulilli free from (hu shackles ol' vanity and pi j nd iee.
