Gray Building -_11 Death of Mrs. J. A. Hughes. Harmony Church, Sept. 23.?On ThursUuy afternoon, the soul of Mrs. Sallie Hughes left the body to be with the redeemed. Mrs. Hughes was the wife of Mr. J. A. Hughes. She had lived in this community about 23 years ami throughout that period was a faithful aim influential member of Harmony, the Methodist Protestant Church. She leaves her husband, nine children, four hoys and live girls, to gether with relatives and a host of friends to mourn her death. Of her suffering we do like to speak. For several months she lingered at death's door. Vet. amid this pain and afiiction she was perfectly reconciled i.i hor Father's will . in it all she was cheerful and her patience was beauti ful unsurpassed. ISven while her soul was taking Its departure from a world of sorrow to a world of bliss, there shone on her face a beautiful smile. We love to thing of her character. It was sweet ami noble. To know her was to love her. There never lived a more devoted w.'e. a more sympa thetic mother, nor a more devout Christian. Let it he said of her in the words of Holmes: ?One more the strife is ended The .solemn issue tried The Lord of Host, his mighty arm lias helped our Israels' side; Cray stone and grassy hillock Tell where our martyr died. Hut peaceful smiles the harvest Ami stainless Mows the title". Her body was laid to rest in the Bethel cemetery, there to await the Kesil rest ton morn. Uev. Foster Sphouves conducted the services. His sermon was able and consoling. A large crowd, of relatives and friends, paid their last tribute and respect and love to her. The pall bearers were Messrs .1 no. W. Simpson. .1. II. Carlisle. W. II. Hal leiitine, Dr. it. B. Ollkerson, II. B. Walker. .1. I-'. Davis, Jr., B. S. Davis and 10. W. Davis.
