greater effort for the coming

Mrs. Clarence G. Burton, State

responded briefly and expressed
her thanks for the honor.
Little Miss Flossie Harris, of

Several weeks ago Mrs.

first her condition was serious.
As a last hope of her
she was taken to the hospital at
Washington two weeks ago
where an operation was perform-
ed last Sunday. She continued
to grow worse until death came
Friday night as a release to her
intense sufferings.
Mrs. Nelson was truly a most
excellent woman and will bi
sadly missed in the community.
Here was a faithful Christian
life, filled with acts of kindness
and deeds of love for others.
She was a member of Memorial
Baptist and for many
years, as long as her health
would permit, was the devoted
teacher of the infant class of the I
Sunday school. It was a beau-1
picture to see her each
day morning surrounded by
scores of bright little faces,
every one beaming with love for
her. Among these little people
there are many sorrowing
hearts today that one whom
they loved is no more.
To the aged mother this death
is inexpressibly sad. Three
times in the same number of
years, the dead body of a loved
child has been brought home to
her for burial. All hearts weep
with her in this great sorrow and
commend her to God in whom
she trusts for comfort and
strength to bear her afflictions.
The funeral will take place at
o'clock this afternoon, services
being held in Memorial Baptist
church by Rev. J. B. Cook, the
interment following in Cherry

In a clear and convincing
he showed why the boys

nation's natural wealth. His
reference to the fact that the

Mr. E. G. Flanagan has been

for several years, and is well
informed on vital statistics of
the town. Talking with The
Reflector about the health
record of Greenville, he said
that since this year came in,
now nearly five month--, there
have been only two white per-
sons to die in town. One of
these was an aged lady who had
been an invalid a long time, and
the other was a young man who
had pneumonia followed by
fever.
For a town of
this is a remarkable record,
and speaks well for the health-
of the community.
the record year by year
Greenville will show a death rate
much below that of neighboring
towns. The death rate here has
always been low, and since the
town installed a good system of
water supply and sewerage the
rate has been even further
reduced as the instance
by Mr. Flanagan clearly shows.
