IN MEMORIA**. In loviug memory of Mies Katie Ballew, daughter of the late J. B. Ballew, of Asbe Tille, N. C who departed this life Oct. 28, 1001; aged 18years. uatie was atllieted with that dread dis ease consumption aud suffered a great deal, but bore her suffering with Christian fortitude and patience, never murmuring or complaining, but seemed resigned to tho will of II im who doetb all things after the counsel of bis own will. When real izing that she would scon pass over the river of death, and when in sight of the beautiful gate, she called her lovod ones and expressed her last wishes, and askod them to meet her In Heaven. .She did not heed the littlo cares aud worries that vexed her, for so .soon tboy would bo passed. Sho spoke so lovingly to those about her; such sweet and tender things that wo lo'ivc so often unsaid, that, like the perfume of the fragrant Howor*, they will linger after sho has bocn long dead. Dear hearts, lot us so live in the present that when the messenger of Cod shall come, we can lay aside tho earthly robe that enforlds US, and stepping over the thrcshhold, bo at home with Katie. The fairest flowers that bloom should forever garlard the place where you sleep, and tho softest winds that blow sing a re quiem there. It should bo a comfort to thoso who mourn to know that Katie, who has turned from the trials and struggles of life to fall into such peaceful slumber, will awake on the sun-kissed hills of a better land.
