Talley, died at their home, near Little River, Monday, Oc tober 12, 1908, after suffering with tonsilitis for some time. Hopes of her recovery were entertained until near the end, but her death was not wholly unexpected. She was a bright and beautiful ryoung woman, and was loved by all who know her. Being a devoted Christian and a very consistent mem ber of Whltmire Methodist church, In her death the bereaved ones have a comfort which this world ls not able to give, and which is not found in the departure of overy one. But more than this, assurances of her salvation and eternal happiness came from her own lips, comforting the sorrowing hearts of those left be nind. Her remains were interred In the cemetery at Whltmire on Tuesday afternoon, her pastor, Rev. Rhett R. Doyle, conducting the funeral ser vices. She is survived hy her parents, several brothers and sisters and a large circle of friends, who mourn her death. Quarterly Conference. The fourth quarterly conference of the Walhalla Mission, Methodist church, held recently at Zion, was, perhaps the most successful one held during the year in many re spects. The presiding elder, Rev. A J. Cautohn, preached two well-pre pared sermons and presided over the business session with grace and dig nity. He has had the love and con fidence of the official hoard of this charge from the first of the year. He Is doubtless the most popular pre siding elder we have had here for some time, and his return to the An derson District is very much desired by all concerned. The general state of the charge was reported by tho pastor, Rev. Rhett Doyle, to be very good and somewhat encouraging, while the financial reports were excellent even better than was reasonably ex pected. / The following officers will have charge of affairs next year: Stewards-Double Springs, W.
