He had a loss of not less than $350. We understand they (Dr. and Mrs. Harris) plan to rebuild and replace them. We hope those planning to enter poultry work will not get discouraged as this was the fault of a defective brooder.

In the midst of life’s plans and activities comes death. We realize that this is certainly true and yet, more forcibly than ever when brought home to us in the departure of loved ones and dear friends, we recall the sweet memories of past associations as if they were only yesterday, yet they are gone forever here on earth. We believe “that God doeth all things well,” and we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose.
Our hearts are human and ache, yet the Holy Sprit comes to comfort us, and God’s grace and mercy abound to us.
A host of friends grieve the departure of lost loved ones.
Mrs. Carrie Carter, sister of Mr. Columbus Simmons, died this year.
Mrs. Maggie Balance of Lake Landing, age 62, died early in February.
Mr. John Mydyette of Gull Rock died, aged 51 years.
Other deaths recently: Mr. S.L. Fisher, Mrs. Eula M. Spencer and Mr. Ed Mann. The latter died suddenly in Florida at the ripe age of 75 years. He was brother to Mr. T.C. Mann. Mr. Mann was buried Sunday, Feb. 14, in the family cemetery at Mr. Richard Mann’s.

Mrs. Isaac Gibbs and Mr. T.C. Mann died in Washington Hospital, having undergone serious operations. One died at 5 o’clock; the other at 5:25.
Mrs. Gibbs was 54 years old. She leaves behind two sisters and two brothers, a husband and many friends to mourn her departure. Her life was that of a Christian in her home and community. She was always ready to help in time of sickness. Due to her health, she did not get to attend church with regularity. She at one time joined the Baptist Church, but coming to make her home in Hyde County where the Baptist Church had never been organized, yet desiring that her life be linked up with a local church, she united with the Methodist Church, where she was a member at the time of her death. Our prayer is that her loved ones left behind may live for Christ and meet her in Gloryland. She was laid to rest in Fairfield Cemetery. Services were conducted by E.R. Stewart, assisted by H.M. Jackson, pastor of the Methodist Church.

Mr. T.C. Mann was 66 years old. He will be missed by the many friends he made everywhere he went. His place in the home and community will be vacant. He and his brother died only a week apart. Mr. Mann’s death was caused by a little shoe tack setting up infection in his big toe some two and a half or three years ago. He has had several operations, major and minor, hoping to save the limb, but finally it brought death to the whole body. We are reminded of the words of Jesus when he said, “And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for that one of thy members should perish, and not that they whole body should be cast into hell. And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off and cast it from thee.”
We believe that if Mr. Mann had had his left amputated at the beginning, it might still be well with him. Many today in the world are playing with the little sins and they ae being gripped with them. “Cut them off,” said Jesus, “and cast them from thee.”
Mr. Mann has been a business man in his community. He will be missed by the inhabitants of Fairfield. He leaves behind many friends, a widow and her son, some daughters and some grandchildren.
Rev. H.M. Jackson held services at the home of the deceased at 10:30 o’clock, February 16, 1926, assisted by Rev. Mr. Dawson of Swan Quarter and E.R. Stewart of Fairfield.
We extend our heartfelt sympathy to those loved ones, our friends, who have suffered the loss.
Life is uncertain; death is sure. “Prepare to meet thy God.”

Mr. Richard Mann suffered a stroke of paralysis March 4. He died March 9, and was buried near his home in the family cemetery at 2:30 o’clock on March 10. Rev. H.M. Jackson, assisted by Rev. Mr. Bross, former pastor, conducted the services. A large crowd attended this service.
“The Old Rugged Cross” and “Home Sweet Home” were sung at the house services.
He leaves a wife, two sons and one sister, Mrs. Jim Bowers, and many relatives and many friends to mourn his decease.
Our hearts go out in sympathy to those who have lost ones.
“For we know that all things work together for good to those who love God and they are called according to His purpose.”
