It is with sadness that we pen the death of departed friend, but such is the sad duty that befalls us this week. "In life we are in the midst of death." We see loved ones pass ing away day by day, and well might we say that we know not the day nor the hour when the Son of Man shall come and call for His own. And when death does come, mere is something that draws us nearer together in sympathy and love to the ones that are left behind, than anything else In this world. On last Friday night, at 9 o'clock, the spirit of Mrs. N. E. Watson took its flight back to the God who gave it. She had been ill for only ten days with pneumonia, and she was in the Goth year of her age. She leaves a husband, Mr. F. M. Watson, and four sons, three of whom are living in Georgetown, Tex., also one sister, Mrs. Brunette Pickard, living in Parker county, Texas. The funeral services were held at the residence Sunday morning at 10 o'clock by Revs. D. T. Waynick and W. T. Ussery, after which the re mains were followed by a large con course of relatives and friends to beautiful Rose Hill Cemetery, and there they were tenderly laid away by loving hands to await the resur rection mom. We extend to the be reaved family, with a hostof rriends, our heartfelt sympathy in this sad and dark hour, and may an All-wise Providence guide them until they are finally re-united in that beauti ful home of the blfst, where there will be no more parting with loved ones, but where there will be joy and gladness for evermore. Mr. F. M. Watson, we are sorry to say, is at this writing in a very feeble condition. Tramt. STATE NEWS.
