Kennedy; we, the members of Long Cane A. R. P. Church, wish to pay a tribute of love to his memory. Quiet and un assuming in manner, yet he could always be counted on to do his part in any work, and to stand for the things that were upright and true. We miss his wise counsel and the many services he willingly ren dered. We have lost a valuable and faithful member, whose memory will ever linger in our hearts and lives. Therefore, be it resolved, that these resolutions be read in church and published in church and in county papers, and a copy be sent to members of his family. T. W. Cowan, S. P. Morrah, W. D.

The bnde who of (rlends to mourn her pas3ing It is with a sense of sorrow and Miss 1 Nenie,” as she was lovingly called by all in the Rehoboth section, where she spent most of her long and useful life. From early child hood, we recall her kind-hearted attentions to children. This i7as forcibly impressed upon our hearts when she adopted little Annie Sue Broadwater, who, in infancy, lost her mother. ‘•Miss Nenie” was formerly Miss Cornelia Christian—was first mar ried to Mr. “Dock” Martin cf Re hoboth. Sometime after his pass- young people she became tne wife of games directed ^ Winn. It was after this that she adopted Mr Ralph M. Winn, a nephew of her husband. Her unselfish devotion to these two adopted children was strikingly beautiful, and their de votion to her, was equally so; es pecially after the passing of her last husband. The husband and wife cf these adopted children, also their families loved her tendfcrly and were lavish in their attentions to her. Our first recollection of this good woman was of her faithfulness -in the W. M. S. and S. S. work at old Rehoboth. She loved her Lord and His church and expressed love by her faithful and constant service. She was never found wanting in sickness, sorrow and death. God gave her a sweet voice, and even now we seem to hear her sing: “Must I Go An Empty-Handed?” is a solo, with organ accompaniment by Cousin Mary Talbert of sacred memory. Her’s was a positive Christianity evidenced by her daily ' life. Her words and example of truth and virtue laid stress on the better things of life. She was ac tive in every worthy cause until the pruning hand of time im paired her health. We feel keenly the departure of this dear friend, and wish co ex press our deep appreciation of her valued friendship and counsel, also our overwhelming sorrow at her passing. The world is better for her having passed this way, and we are grateful to our Heavenly Father for her life. How fitting that the end of such a long and useful life should come Under the direction of Mrs. A. Thad Persons, leader, the Girls Auxiliary of the Baptist W. M. U. entertained the R. A.’s with a “Tacky Party” at the community house Friday evening, Feb. 18. About thirty-five gathered to enjoy by Mrs. C. A. Gilbert, recreational marriage director.
