ALLISON.--On August 29, 1892, at the home of his father, Rev. J. A. Allison, pastor of the Cumberland Presbyterian church at Erin, Tenn., Stanford Burney Allison departed this life, aged two years, eleven months, and seven days. It was hard for the father and mother to bear the loss of their dear little one, but they were comforted by the consoling thought that his freed spirit winged its way to Him who said, Suffer the children to come, for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

COOLY.–Died, May 3, 1883, in Erin, Tenn., little Paul, son of William and Mary Cooly; aged 2 years, 6 months, and 4 days.
Jesus while on earth said of little children, "Of such is the kingdom of heaven." Little Paul is not lost. God has taken that sweet flower that lived here but a little while to live with him in glory. He is safe from the sorrows of this world, and the parents have the blissful hope of meeting him again when the mists have cleared away in the sweet by and by. Weep not, God knows where all his jewels are. A. M. TAYLOR.

HOOPER.--Died, Oct. 30, 1881, in the town of Erin, Tenn., C. G., infant son of Richmond and Hattie Hooper, aged 5 months and 11 days.
Why should I vex my heart or fast?
  No more he'll visit me;
My soul will mount to him at last,
  And there my child I'll see.

McAULEY.--Died, Jan. 17, 1883, at the residence of Daniel McAuley, near Erin, Tenn., Beulah McAuley, youngest daughter of an aged father and mother.
Beulah was born Nov. 17, 1850; professed religion in 1862; joined the Wells Creek congregation of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, in which she lived a consistent member until it pleased the Lord to remove, her from the church militant to unite with the church triumphant. She was afflicted some time before she died, but bore it all with patience; she was not heard to murmur. She seemed to have been admonished or forewarned of her death, for when her mother asked her, "Beulah, are you not going to do thus and so?" her reply was, "If I live I will." And when she was taken down she told her friends and relations that she was going to die. But all was bright in the beyond with Beulah; she feared no evil, for the Lord was with her. A while before she died she sang a few words of one of the songs of Zion. But O, she sings more sweetly now. Weep not, father, mother, brother, and sisters, friends, and relatives, Beulah is not dead, but sleepeth. And as she was beloved by all who knew her while here, and an exemplary Christian, let us live the life of the righteous that we may die in the triumph of a living faith, and meet on the other shore, where parting will be no more.

PARISH.--Died, Nov. 26, 1881, near J. J. Pollard's, Houston county, Tenn., Sister Stacy Parish, aged near 60 years. She was a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church forty-five years, in the Bethel congregation. She bore all of her illness with patience and Christian fortitude, though it was severe, and when the hour of her exit from this world came, she said she was ready and willing to die. She has gone to enjoy that rest that remains for the people of God. She leaves behind her friends, and children without father or mother now, to mourn her loss; but there is a heaven, children, live so you may meet her there.

POLLARD.--James Joseph Pollard was born October 13, 1824, in Humphreys County, Tenn.; died February 25, 1908, being 83 years, 4 months, and 12 days old. He settled at the home in which he died in Houston County in 1849. He was an elder in the Wells Creek congregation of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church for 56 years. He helped to organize Houston County and was its first Circuit Court Clerk. He was a member of Company I, 50th Tennessee Regiment, and served with devotion through the entire Civil War. He represented Houston County in the state legislature in the seventies. Everywhere, whether in legislative halls, on the battle field or by the fireside, he walked worthy of the vocation wherewith he was called. He raised nine children, all of whom are consistent, active members of the church.--A Friend.

RUSHING.–Mrs. Jane Rushing, wife of R. C. Rushing, was born November 20, 1835; professed religion October, 1853; and joined the Wells Creek Cumberland Presbyterian church [Houston County, Tennessee], and remained a consistent member until death, January 3, 1903. She was one of the charter members of the Woman's Missionary Society of this church, organized in 1887. She was the first of the society to die since its organization. The writer conducted the funeral services in the presence of an unusually large crowd, after which she was laid to rest in the family burying ground. She leaves an aged husband and many relatives and friends to mourn their loss. May God's blessings and the comforting influence of the Holy Spirit be upon the husband in his sore affliction.
R. H. CRAIG, Pastor.

SKELTON.--Abner B. Skelton died at his home on Yellow Creek, Houston county, Tenn., January 20, 1892, in the eighty-sixth year of his age. The deceased was in many respects a remarkable man. Born and reared in poverty he was always high-toned and dignified, and accumulated a competency of this world's goods. Though surrounded in youth by the evil influences of intemperance and profanity, which so naturally surround furnaces and forges, he was always temperate, never swore, and was chaste in language. He professed religion in early manhood, joined the Cumberland Presbyterian church, and was made ruling elder, in which capacity he served well. Uncle Abner, as he was generally called, was true in every relation of life, as a Christian, an elder, a Mason, citizen, husband, and father, everywhere as true as steel. He and his good wife, who preceded him to the better land many years ago, raised a large and respectable family. Most of the children accepted their father's God as their portion. May the others do likewise soon so it will be an unbroken family in heaven. To the scattered members of that once happy family I wish to say, live as your father lived and you will all meet in the sweet over there and rest under the shade of the trees. May heaven heal the broken hearts.

SKELTON.–L. L. Skelton died at his home in Houston county, Tenn., September 28, 1891, and was buried with Masonic honors September 30. Brother Skelton was a ruling elder in the Cumberland Presbyterian church for more than half his life. He was near forty-four years old when he died. He was a Christian gentleman whom to know was to love. A good man had gone, but we expect to meet him in the sweet by and by. May Heaven's benedictions rest upon his bereaved family, relatives, and friends, and may the grace of God sustain his aged father, and lay him gently down by the side of his loving son.

SLAUTER.--Died, May 2, 1883, near Erin, Tenn., at the residence of Wm. Averett, George Slauter, aged 72 years, 5 months, and 27 days.
Brother Slauter was born in Richmond county, North Carolina; his parents moved to Tennessee when he was seven years old, and settled in Houston (then Stewart) county; professed religion and joined the Cumberland Presbyterian Church; was a member forty-seven years in the Well's Creek congregation and a ruling elder, and in which he lived a consistent life until it pleased the Lord to remove him from the church militant to join those who have gone before. He was one among those who used to camp at camp meetings when there would be seventy-five or a hundred professions. He loved those good old camp-meeting days; and let me say right here, there are but few now living in this vicinity who were campers in those days. He was afflicted some time before his death, but bore it all with patience. Truly he was a sheaf ready for the Master's garner, and when the summons came, said he had no fears in death, but longed to enter into that rest that remaineth for the people of God. He wore the Masonic badge to the honor of that institution. And now after all is done, having given orders in regard to his burial, said "I am ready to depart and be with Christ." Weep not, sisters and sorrowing ones, as those who have no hope.
In full fruition hope shall end,
And there you'll meet him again.
A. M. TAYLOR.

UFFELMAN.--Died, Oct. 12, 1881, at the residence of John Uffelman, near Erin, Houston county, Tenn., Henry Uffelman, aged 13 years, 6 months, and 16 days. He professed religion in October, 1880; joined the Cumberland Presbyterian Church in the Well's Creek congregation, in which he lived until the day of his death. He said he was not afraid to die. And it is said, "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth; yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors, and their works do follow them."

WILSON.–Margaret E. Wilson departed this life on January 27, 1909, at the home of her son, Thomas E. Wilson, on White Oak Creek, twelve [miles] west of Erin, Tenn. Mrs. Wilson was born on November 30, 1821, and died at the advanced age of eighty-seven years. She was married to Thomas Wilson on February 25, 1890. She leaves six sons and one daughter and many grandchildren. She professed faith in Christ in early life and joined the Cumberland Presbyterian Church at Center Valley, now known as White Oak congregation, and lived a consistent and consecrated Christian life for a period of sixty-two years. The funeral service was held by the Methodist minister, Rev. Allen. Although we mourn the passing of our beloved sister, we bow in humble submission to God's Providence, knowing that he doeth all things well. We extend to the family our heartfelt sympathy.–J. H. Agy.
