A Day of Funerals.
The following is taken from
the Center Daily News of
March 6th, the day following
' the awful catastrophe, an ac-
count of which appears else/
v. here in this paper:
Yesterday was auother
gloomy day in the history of
| Center, when the people were
engaged in burying the dead
and ministering to the afflicted
oies.
The first funeral was held
late Saturday afternoon over
1 the remains of Mrs. C. C. Locke
at the family residence previous |
to her remains being shipped
to Grovctou for interment.
The next was held over the
remains of Will Booth Sat-
urday morning at 10 o'clock
at the Baptist church, who
was interred with Woodmen
honors. Immediately after
the funeral of Mr. Booth fun-
eral services were held over the
tlie remains of Jack Davis, at
the family residence. At two
o'clock in the afternoon fun-
eral srviefs were held over
tnc remains of John Mull at
the Baptist church, followed
immediately with the fuueral
services of J. L. Crawford at
the Methodist church Mr.
Crawford was also interred
with Woodmpn honors.
The shades of evening had
becjun to gather before the
burial of Mr. Crawford was
finished, and the remains of
Mr. Mull were held until after
the arrival of the evening train
hoping that his'son would get
tiere, being laid to rest about
8 o'clock last night.

co'lection of men, could gather
ajreport of all the incidents
that would add additional
chapters and pathetic stories
to the great calamities in the
brief time that has intervened.
J. I. G. Club.
The hours of the J. U. G.
Club were pleasantly spent
Saturday at the home of Misses
Inez and Bessie Fisher. This
home was beautifully decorat/
ei for the occasion, showing
punch to the merriment of
these hostesses, declaring that
this would be a memorable
afternoon with the J. U. G's.
Preaching.
To look backward and
mourn lost years or lost
strength or lost opportunities
is but to increase the load of
unhappy remembrances. Let
every opportunity be seized
and improved. The cure for
I past evils is repentance and
the artistic taste of both young crowing them out by good'

There were three contests
engaged in, the first being
names of noted people of the
past in chronological order.
Miss Nellie K. Watters prov-
ed herself the best veised in
the history 6f these people.
To her was presented a beau-
tiful hand painted picture.
The second contest wes
questions asked by Miss Inez
Fisher upc& kin^-people. What
relation does each bear to you?
The prize for this, a photo-
book, was awarded to Miss
Alma Nicar.
Fofc.tllfrthird,. we were told
to search for hidden papers in
the room, bearing the names
of our ancestors. These, when
found, to be exchanged until
all cards one held bore tl d
same name. The 011c who
held the single card bearing
the name of Adam—he being
the father of all the racc —
was the successful contestant
for the prize, Miss Ervelia
Singletary was the successful
one, The prize was a beauti-
ful handkerchief box.
While refreshments, con-
sisting of a salad course, choc-
olate and wafers were being
served, we were treated to ex-
cellent music furnished by
the Misses Fisher.
Upon departing we drank
deeds. Those who believe in
the fatherhood of God know
that he is both just and merci-
ful. Embrace the opportuni-
ties, and do it now, and fear
neither disaster nor death.
Each Will be met by moial
endurance, faith, hope and
love illumined and strength-
ened by Him who is from
everlasting to everlasting.—
