It is not known delinitely how long he has been in the ministry, but it is thought for sixty ;ears or more.

She was so pure' and high-minded, always looking for the right side and sticking to it all all odds. As long as she was able she vistted the sick and the poor, with an open hand ever ready to administer food and raiment to the needy, many of whom, when they learn of her death, will 'rise up and call her blessed." Mrs Thomas before her marriage to .1. P. Thomas of Spartanburg, was Miss Elizabeth Ponder, a sister of W. J. Ponder of Dacusville. She was left twenty years ago a widow with six children to rear and educate, and, though many times the way, no doubt, seemed long and hard, still she was spared to complete this task, living to see them all grown, an( three of them married. Their na tm's are as follows: John P. Thomas, G reenville; IL. P. Thomas,! (reenville: Iucius P. Thomas, Dacus ville; Mrs. Arthur Christop!.er, I)un can; Mrs. 1"rank Blunt, .:reenville; Miss Bessie 'Thomas, Dacusville.

The end came so quietly and peace. iully you could scarcelly tell-she hav ing for several days before her death. lapsed into coma, that deep sleep, the twin-sister of death, and without a sign of pain, she crossed the "Great Divide." Who can tell of the rapture when those eyes, so long dim to the light of day, had that promised vision, the beau tiful sight of heaven and its glories! That is one of the sweetest thoughts to think that that veil of darkness has been removed, and she can now "see Rim face to face." The funeral services were beautiful in their simplicity, being conducted in the presence of many relatives and friends by Rev. Mr. Aiken, pastor of Iterea Baptist church, of which she had I long been a consecrated mnctiber. The interment was at tho family burial plot near her girlhood home, and she was laid beside her husbantd in that final resting place. where the winds will sing a lonely requiem over the mound that contains all tihat is mortal of this loved one, whose going away has left a va cancy that can never be idled.
