ANNIE TURNIPSEED Mrs. Annie Turnipseed, who had suffered untold pain for eleven months, passed quietly to her reward Sept. 21, 1910. Her sufferings had been great, but loved ones watched tenderly by her side, ever ready to give her any relief possible. She has now gone home to Heaven. As Miss Annie Washington, she was married to Mr. J.F. Turnipseed on Nov. 15, 1908. One bright little boy was born to bless this union. She was 17 years of age and a faithful and consecrated member of Pleasant Hill Baptist church. The beauty of her life will ever live in the hearts of her devoted friends and loved ones and we whose lives are now filled so completely with sadness can but wait to meet her at the crystal river's brink some sweet day, by and by. She is done with the trials and afflictions of earth and has entered upon the joys of an endless life. Let all tears cease to flow and let us anticipate the meeting up there, where neither tears nor pain is felt or heard. God bless the stricken ones, is the prayer of one who loves them. Farewell, Annie; soon we'll meet thee where no cloud of sorrow rolls, for glad tidings float ever sweetly from the glorious land above. One Who Loved Her. --- OBITUARY OF PENINAH J. McCLURE COUCH Peninah J. McClure Couch was born Nov. 29, 1855 and died Oct. 15, 1910. She was the daughter of John and Martha McClure and granddaughter of Rev. Hiram Camp of sainted memory. She was reared by a Christian mother and joined the Methodist church when a child; was a faithful member, a good and obedient child. Her health was delicate even as she grew to womanhood, but she gave all her strength and energy to the cause of the Master. When the Methodist church was built at Moreland she worked faithfully to help build and furnish it. Eighteen years ago she was married to Dr. J.M. Couch. She was a good wife and a great help to him in his profession. He was a member of the Baptist church and she joined also in order to be with him. When the Baptist church at Moreland was built, she worked hard to help build that also. Her home was a home for her pastor. She was ever ready to work for her Maker. She leaves a husband, four stepdaughters, an aged mother, two sisters and one brother to mourn her death. She was ready to meet her Maker; she is not dead, but sleeping. Farewell, dear sister, till we meet again in that place where there is no more parting, sorrow or pain. Sister Anna --- OBITUARY OF CHARLIE M. SMITH Charlie M. Smith died Dec. 31, 1909 at Moreland, Ga., after a short illness of typhoid fever. He was born Nov. 13, 1880; was married to Emma Belle Jackson on Dec. 25, 1907. This union was blessed with one daughter. Besides his loving wife and child he leaves a father, mother and four brothers to mourn his death, together with a host of other relatives. Let us all live in hopes of meeting Charlie in that beautiful beyond. Sad and heartbreaking it was for his loved ones to give him up. We know it will be dark and dreary for them in the home and we shall miss him; but he has gone where there is no more suffering, no more sorrow, no tears. Weep not, dear ones; but let us be prepared to meet Charlie in a better world, where there will be no more parting. Heaven was made for such as he, and one by one, the angel reapers are gathering in His loved ones and His own. His Brother and Sister --- TURIN News Nov. 2nd We are in receipt of a letter from Prof. W.M.

We make the following quotation from his letter, to wit: " It is my intention to publish a group photo of Jesse Moseley, aged 85, Frank Manuel, age 81 and F.A. Boddy, aged 77. The three stood up before hundreds of friends and sang a Christian song, to the delight of all. There was not a dry eye in the house."

Carlton of Senoia which occurred Saturday night. Death came during the still watches of the night and was not discovered until some hours later. She was a noble Christian and a devoted wife and mother. She was a daughter of the late Dr. Fall and is survived by her husband and several children. We extend sincere condolence to the bereaved family. --- Another sad death was that of Mrs. Ben Weldon which occurred yesterday morning. She had been ill for several days and underwent an operation, from which she never rallied. She was 40 years of age, a member of the Baptist church at Shaprsburg, a devoted wife and mother and a good neighbor, loved by all who knew her. A husband and eight children, besides several brothers and sisters, are left to mourn her sad demise. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. H.S. Rees, assisted by Rev. C.E.

She had been in feeble health some time before her death (in Aug. 1910). Even when infirmities had fallen upon her she would brave the heat and cold to go to her church, for truly did she delight in the services of her Master. All who knew her loved her. There are some whose lives seem made but for the service of others. Such was the life of "Aunt" Jane. As we look back through the spent years, her life seems an unbroken round of ministrations to those who needed help in time of sickness, sorrow and distress. Of her good deeds, of her love for her Master's work, this memorial can be but a feeble expression. We loved her, we have lost her, but our loss is heaven's gain. She was born May 17, 1833 and at the age of 14 years she joined Ebenezer Baptist church on Aug. 8, 1847. On Feb. 20, 1855 she was married to John H. North and on August 1, 1875 she moved her church letter to Sharpsburg where she finished her labors on earth. Therefore, be it resolved; That we thank God for her long, faithful, consecrated and godly life among us. That we will ever hold her in loving memory, regarding her life as one of the richest treasures of our church. That these resolutions be spread upon our church records, a copy sent to her family and also furnished the Herald and Advertiser for publication. Miss Pollie Bridges C.H. North J.R.B. Stovall, Committee ---- IN MEMORIAM OF MR. LEE A. ALSABROOK Mr. Lee A. Alsabrook was born in Heard county, Ga., on Jan. 19, 1864. He joined Macedonia Baptist church when 17 years of age. He was married to Miss Lucy Wallace on Feb. 10, 1884 and died Sept. 26, 1910. Mr. Alsabrook was for many years a great sufferer but was always patient, hopeful and cheerful, firmly believing that "all things work together for good to them who love God." Until about a year before his death he was a merchant in Newnan. Those who patronized him can truthfully say that he was thoroughly honest and reliable and gave the very best attention to his business. Mr. Alsabrook was a member of the Central Baptist church, and as long as his health permitted was a faithful attendant at the services. When the Angel of Death comes to those of us who are left to mourn, he seems a terrible monster, but to those who are ready to go, he must seen an Angel of Light, saying "It is enough, come up higher." Mr. Alsabrook leaves a wife, two daughters and several grandchildren besides other relatives. To these we tender our sympathies and pray that God's blessing and comforting spirit may be with them. Think not of him as dead, but as one of the worshippers in that "beautiful city not made with hands, eternal in the heavens."
