Tonie Faulkner---Died, in Maryville, on the 22nd inst., Tonie Faulkner, aged 18 years and three months. Just blooming into womanhood, with all the surroundings promising a long and happy life, Tonie was summoned to leave, father, mother, sister, and many friends, and cross the icy jordon of death. Yet she was not alone. The way seems dark to us, but Jesus, in whom she had long trusted, lit up the pathway and Tonie was borne on wings of love to the paradise of God, where today she is singing sweet anthems of redeeming love. The bereaved family have the sympathy of the whole community.
