Death of Mrs. J. T. Ayer.Sadness fills the heart of the writer

when it occurs to the mind that Mrs.Clemmie Mitchell Ayer, the loving wifeof Mr. Tommie Ayer, of Clear Pond, isno more. On last Thursday, October 19,her gentle spirit took its flight, leaving adevoted husband, mother, four sisters,four brothers and an infant, besides ahost of relatives and friends, who regretto know that her gentle association ishereafter denied us. Her remains werelaid to rest beside her little daughter, whopreceded her about two months ago, inPleasant Hill cemetery. ,Clemmie was'a loving young woman,

and was loved by all who knew her. Inher early girlhood she joined BethesdaBaptist church and was always found inher pew unless providentially hinderedand was ever active in Sunday school.She was just twenty-seven years of age,and had been married nearly three years.She has been a tender friend- of thewriter since childhood and her unassum-ing christian character has ever been abeautiful trait of her personality, winningher friends who Cannot help butmourn her departure. But the Fatherneeded her more than we, and we hopethat all sorrowing ones will feel thatshe was old in the love and adoration ofher Master, which should lull theirmourning and be an example to them tolove and adore Him as she.
