Death of an Estimable Lady.

Simpson Methodist Episcopal church.  Funeral services to-day at 2 p.m. 
conducted by Rev. R. E. Wilson from the Simpson M. E. church.  
Interment at Oak Ridge cemetery.
    Call not back the dear departed,
      Anchored safe where storms are o'er;
    On the border land we left them
      Soon to meet and part no more.

    When we leave this world of changes,
      When we leave this world of care,
    We shall find our missing loved one
      In our Father's mansion, fair.
