We are pleased to JWto hah that tribute from Miss Kershaw's fluent peu: ? "Looking at the ^lendld new school house, now rapidly growing to com pletion, the inevitable thought of another hoi&e that recently stood in the /midst of the same beautiful ground*, oomoe to us, and with It, aad. and regretful' memories of the Inmutex of that dear old home, so typical of all that was finest In our Southern civilization. "More tenaciously tliau most, the Reynolds held fast the best tradition* of our lajnd. and preserved to a >e mark able degree, the atmosphere of the olden days, so that when you rais ed the^great brass knocker, and enter ed tfle door, you seemed to step at once into something sweetly sugges tive of tiie past, Uko reading an in terest ln? book, fragrant of la vend ev and old ilace. "I* this family, one personality, serene, unassuming, incisive, made it self felt. But not in the family alone, but in a very wide circle of friends and acquaintances. Mra Esther -Davis Impressed her i>oraouality. Words .cannot adequately describe Mm Davis, as we knew her. She corafbined a very high ortler of intelligence witb modes ty ; great force of character, with gen tleness; unusual executive ability, with tact. Iler Influence ever suffic ed to a liny any tendency to heated discussion, in the council ovea- which she presided. Calm, dispassionate, ju dicious, ?he led1, without self-assertion, the opinions of others. Into paths of her own rtiooslng. "To auy movement for the good of the community, she gave her active and efficient support. She was al ways public spirt tod. but she never made a fuss about it. > "As a Christian and a devoted mem ber of the church of her choice, her wonderful example was one all can ad mire, though few attain. "Last, but not least, In her leader ship of the 'Wofcnan's Auxiliary.' she endeared herscfltf to its membership as few have power to do. Who can for get those meetings in the old home : tbe cheery fire glowing in the parlor, the placid face, gracious manner and beautiful, smile that welcomed each as we came? And the low-toned prayer. utteTcd by that dear voice, 'humble as a little chllii' IVrhaps we had a 'hymn, perhaps sonic light refreshment served in the dainty old china. Ah. well, they are days srood to re member. 'for i^l virtue, and godli ness of living. 'we shall never look -up on her like ngaln ! . "A rarely gifted woman, she was truely a type of the 'Elect I^ady.' to whom &t. John wrote that imperish able letter long ago.
