What wo have is theirs and our Hiuls have but a single thought?to make the occasion indeed a Memorial Day for them; ^ not in the common meaning of ( the term, but a mile-stone which, as they journey along toward their, setting sun, the rays may ' huthe it with a bright and joyous , radiance that will grow bright -r in retrospect as the shadows length- i en.

Lake City, May 2:?On April 27, 1910, at about 3:30 o'clock a m, the angel of death visited the home of our neighbor, Mr Thomas Murphy, and . bore therefrom his devoted companion, Mrs Sarah Murphy. Mrs Murphy was a daughter of Mr Hector and Mrs Elizabeth McNeil, of Marion county. She was born in Marion county August 11, 1836. At about 15 years of age she professed faith in Christ and joined Mt Zion Baptist church, Marion county, and lived a consistent member of that church until after the death of her parents, when together with the rest of the child ren she moved toWilliamsburg county and as a member of Lake City Baptist church, she remained a conscientious and faithful Christian until God called her to a higher realization of His goodness. She was married to Mr Thomas Murphy on the 6th day of November, 1870, and from this union were born three children, two, of whom died in infancy. The other, a daughter, is still living. Mrs Murphy was an affectionate companion,a kind and loving mother and a good neighbor.The writer lived near her family for over four years and was well acquainted with her, and to know her was to hold her in high esteem. She was always the same good-natured, kind, amiable Christian woman. Mrs Murphy said,in answer to the question, "Are you prepared to die?" "Yes, I have attended to that long ago." The funeral service was conducted at her home one mile from Lake City by her pastor, Rev Mr Boney, in the presence of a large crowd of relatives and friends, on Thursday, April 28, after which the remains were taken to the McAllister burying ground and laid away to await the resurrection. She leavtrs to mourn their loss a husband and one daughter, Mrs W L Anderson; one sister, MrsVictoria McCutchen of Darlington; two grandchildren and other relatives. May her going away prove a alessing to them all, and her loving lusband meet his dear wife where there will be no more parting. The following acted as pall bearers: Messrs J D Daniel, J A Green, J H Blackwell, J M Baxley, S L Anderson and E T Moody. Neighbor. What Everybody Wants.
