TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
This is to certify that 1 had Mr.
J. F. Ross, piano maker employed for
two weeks in making general repairs
and tuning the pianos of Mssissippi
Synodical College. I have consider
able knowledge of this work myself,
and have employed at different times
quite a number of workmen, and
without solcitation from Mr. Ross I
had expected to give him this testi
monial.
He is the most capable, faithful
and efficient piano worker that has
ever been employed by me. He has
proved hmsell* swift, reliable i*nd
conscientious. He ha s taken old
pianos that were practically useless
and made them as good as new. I
unhesitatingly commend him to my
friends ,and others who desire their

ceeded her to the grave SO methine
over fifteen years ago. Mrs. Mitchell
was truly a noble, Christia woman, j
In her younger days, no one could
find their way to the bedside of a;
sick neighbor more uickly than she
and when there, few could render
better service as a nurse. Not having
been blessed with children herself,
she sought opportunities to aid those
mothers who at times seemed burden
ed with the care of their little ones.
She did not advertise her good deeds
but those who knew her best, knew
the real genuineness of her devotion j
to the cause of Him who taught real [
service of others. Thus it was that
she was ready for the final summons. I
Mrs. Mitchell is survived by one
brother, Mr. Nat Clay, who resides
near Coffeeville, and two sisters, Mrs.
A. C. Coffee, of Coffeeville, and Mrs.
John Vanhoozer, of near Torrane. j
