We are geting dry again in this locality, and a shower would do much 
good just now. Crops in this part of the country are very good. Mrs. 
"Wahoo," the little "hoos" and ourself attended services at Mt. Carmel on 
Sunday last, and were rewarded by hearing one of Rev. Mr. Goldin's most 
eloquent sermons. There was a large crowd present. Mr. Goldin filled his 
appointment at Pierce Chapel, near here, in the afternoon of the same 
day. 

We were informed while at Mt. Carmel that Aunt Dephia Mize, an aged and 
highly respected lady of the Fourth district, was very sick. Miss Georgia 
Mize, her daughter, is quite sick, also. We hope to hear of their early 
convalescence.

"Plow's brigade" and "??pe's battalion" have captured "general green" 
and the majority of his army. The result is, crops are very good in this 
section, and in fine condition. We don't remember to ever have seen 
farmers in better spirits than at present.

Some of the sick mentioned last week are better at this writing. The 
many friends of Aunt Delphia Mize, of the Forth district, concerning 
whose illness we make mention last week will be much grieved to hear that 
she died on Tuesday last. The remains were interred at Mt. Camel on 
Wednesday following, funeral services being conducted by Rev. F. G. 
Goldin, in the presence of a large concourse of sorrowing relatives and 
sympathizing friends. Truly, a good woman has gone to her reward. The 
bereaved family have our sympathy.

Obituary

Died, June 16, 1896, Aunt Delphia Mize. She had been a faithful servant 
of the Lord for many long years. She was taken sick June 7th and suffered 
until June 16th, when the angels came and carried her to a better land. 
On the day of her death she remarked that Jesus was with her, and I hope 
that we can all say the same in the last dark hour. Aunt Delphia was 
loved by all her friends and neighbors.

"Who can know the hopes and fears,
Of the mother's smiles and tears?
Who can weigh the prayers expressed
For the loved one at her breast?
Farewell, mother; peace be thy silent rest.
Thou hast loved us ling and well;
We must say our last farewell,
"Till we meet again beyond the river,"
There to dwell with thee forever.

A Friend
