Page 1, Column 3:
Six Mile Dots.
Mrs. Elizabeth Wallace died suddenly the 20th inst., at the home of her son 
Mr. Walter Wallace. She had been in her usual health up to a few hours before 
her death. She had just entered her seventieth year being 69 years old the day 
before her death. Rev. S. C. Alexander conducted the funeral services at 
Antioch where her remains were interred Sunday.
“She sleeps in Jesus; blessed sleep
From which none ever wake to weep,
A calm and undisturbed repose
Unbroken by the last of foes.”
Be comforted dear ones she has left behind.

Sunday. He delivered a soul stirring sermon to an attentive congregation.
Misses Nettie Pratt and Birdie Holley were the guests of Miss Fannie Arnold

Essie, our good people visit too, but it seems that most of the visiting you 
tell us about is on Sunday.
Do you ever see Martin Luther over that way these beautiful Sabbaths? Keep a 
look out for him.
I have heard some talk of mad dogs in our village. Felix Arnold says he thinks 
his dog was bitten by one.
The cold snap is making gardens look sick.
There are several on our sick list at present who among whom are Miss Mattie 
Walker and Misses Clara Trucks and Myrtle Coe, we hope to see the young people 
out soon.
Rev. and Mrs. Long visited our esteemed commissioner W. C. Trott and lady.
Thalia, some of our young men call on our young ladies also, but believe we 
will not give their names this time, but one of them is so blind he has to 
carry a torch. (Old age you know.)
Singings were all the go in our town two were gotten up for the same night.
Mrs. R. J. Rotenbury one of our best old ladies, is on the puny list.
Miss Langston, a charming young lady is visiting her sister Mrs. Coe of this 
place.
Messrs. Charlie Rotenbury and C. B. Wyatt made a business trip to Hargrove 
Saturday.
