     Mrs. Whipple's Death
     
     Mrs. Mollie Joiner Whipple died at 9 o'clock Thursday night the
     15th inst. This announcement is one of the saddest ever made in our
     town. No death has ever caused more genuine sadness, grief and
     regret among all who ever knew her than Mrs. Whipple's.
     
     She was known as one of the purest most self-sacrificing, zealous,
     intelligent, lovable christian women in all our land.
     
     Only a few short months ago she was claimed as a bride by one of
     our most worthy young men. Transplanted among almost strangers she
     at once made friends with all and entered upon a life of usefulness
     in her new home.
     
     So good, so true, so pure were here motives that upon her dying bed
     she prayed that her death might bring some soul to lean upon the
     Saviour she trusted so implicitly and tried so much to get others
     to believe upon.
     
     When told that she was about to die she kissed repeatedly her
     husband and exclaimed, "Ah! is this death!" Death has no sting, the
     grave no victory.
     
     Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John J. Joiner, of Hawkinsville, were
     with her until death and carried her body back to the old home,
     Hawkinsville, and laid to rest Friday.
     
     Her husband is heart-broken, inconsolable, the parents
     grief-stricken and sorrowful. She was indeed the light and the life
     of both homes, the one cherished above all others.
     
     May the Great Helper pour balm in bounteous plenty upon their
     broken hearts.
