In Memoriam of Earnest T. Brooks.
Died Jan. 11, 1906, at the home
of his father, J. A. Brooks, of Cap-
itol Hill, after a lingering illness
from consumption, Earnest T.
Brooks, aged 25 years, 2 months
and 11 days.
The deceased was a young man
of exemplary habits and pleasant
address and before coming here,
about four months ago, was book-
keeper for O. W. Lubiu & Co., of
Hot Springs. Ark At the time of
his death lie was assistant secre-
tary of the Business Men’s Club
and Chamber of Commerce of Cap
itol Hill, and was loved and re-
spected by the whole community.
The family have the heartfelt sym-
pathy of all their friends and
neighbors in this their great be-
reavement. But their loss is
Heaven’s gain.
A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved is stilled,
A place is vacant in this home
Which never can be filled.
God in His wisdom has recalled
The boon his love had given,
Andtho’the body slumbers here
The soul is safe in heaven.
W. E. Caldwell,
Dr R. L. Moore.

We. the ladies of Capitol Hill,
join in sending our sincere sym-
pathy to our beloved friend and
sister, Mrs. Brooks, and would
recommend her to the kind pro-
tection of our Heavenly Father
who promises to be with the sorely
afflicted who place their trust in
him. and we would further say—
She may water their graves with tenrs;
She tn»y stand and mourn by the side
Of the new-made mound so near,
Where lies their mother’s pride.
Hot God has only taken the
Gift which he has given,
Those flowers which withered here
Will bloom again in Heaven.
In the realms of bliss she can meet thee
When bound by a higher law,
There the river of peace without even
a ripple—
Not even a single flaw.
Three short years ago Mr. and
Mrs. Brooks were the proud pa-
rents of three grown sons and a
daughter—a group of noble man-
hood—and two small children.
To-day they have only those two
small children left. The last of
those three sons was laid away to
rest beside the sister, who pre-
ceded him by only a few months

Christmases.

Last Saturday afternoon the
Masonic Temple was a scene of
gladness, that being the installa-
tion of officers of the ladies of
Grant Relief corps, which was one
of the most pleasant and satisfac-
tory events of the kind for many
years. But there is no joy so
great that it cannot be tinged with
a shade of sadness. One sweet
face was missing, that of our re-
tiring president Mrs Lowry, who
was loved by all, but we join m
saying, “Blest be the tie that
binds,” and furthermore, “God be
with you ’till we meet again.”
