The town coun??? recently put several gasoline lights

almost as bright as day around them.

A member of the Sunbeam band handed us the following
item:  We, the Sunbeams, regret so much to give up
our leader, Mrs. Sadie Miller, who has moved to
Atlanta.  She has been our faithful leader since
September, 1906, and we can truthfully say that
she is a Christian lady and was a good teacher.
Our hearts are sad when we meet for service and
do not see her there.  She always had a smile and
a kind word for every one.  Oh, how we do miss her.
We pray that God will be with her and abundantly 
bless and reward her for all her labors of love
here with us, pray she feel that her work here
has not been in vain, but may she ____red to live
to see the lessons of ___ve that she has taught
grow___ the lives of every Sunbeam.  Although
she has moved yet we will not forget her and
her family.
