It become~s our sad duty to chroni'le the death of Mrs. Jus -tina. the beloved wife of E. H. May, which occurred at me near Norris on the 9th t. The deceased was sick few days and the an ienf, of her death cast a ver the entire commun a life that preached eral here upon this estring of vehicles ethe hearse to her p lace bore witness to thel ife she lea. The deceased was 55.years old last March and had been a con sistehit member of the Baptist church for 21 years having join ed when young at the 61d Toxa way Baptist church in North Carolina. Shehadlately moved her membership to. the new Baptist church at Norris. / 'She was a daughter of Mr. Asa Patterson and leaves six sisters, a loving husband and 12 or 13 children to mourn their loss. She spoke of her death and said she was going to her baby that preceded her to tOhe grave 11 years ago. It was a touching funerai ser mon that Rev. B. C. A kin-son preached from the texi,. "Where is Mother?" "If a man dies shall he live again?" After the funeral services her remains were interred in the Golden Creek cemetery to await the resurrection.

J. C. Garrett and S. W. Howard were present and made talks, each of whom spoke in highest terms of the reunion we were then enjoying but said we all would beyond a doubt never meet here upon this earth again on such occasion but spoke of the reunion beyond this vale of tears. Mrs. Galloway was the first one among that number, so far as we know, to join that great reunion above but by and by we all can, and will, set at God's table and enjoy, the, hospitajlity that has been awaiting us for many years.it we will only have our-lamps temmed and burning when He. comes. Oh what a glorious .thing it must be when we are lying on our death bed, know and realize of a truth that our time here upon this troublesome earth is only a few minutes, and we can look to heaven and see the an gels waiting to accompany our souls home.
