CHILD LOST- On Sunday evening last a small child only two years old of Mr. Jesse Smitherman, living near the edge of Polk County

strayed off from home. The alarm was given in the neighborhood, and the whole community turned out in search of it. Mr. Smitherman and son who were in this city were sent for - but

up to this writing (Tuesday morning) nothing has been heard from it. It was of course out in the storm Sunday night, and no telling whether it is alive or not.  Since writing above we understand the child was found about

two miles from home wading in a branch. The little fellow must have had a lonely time by itself in the woods. The first thing it wanted was something to eat, having been without for several hours.

DIED

At his residence in this city on the morning of May 21st 1875 - Rev. George D. Ovaitt, Pastor of the First Baptist Church of this place, in the fifty-fourth year of his age. The subject of this notice was born in Trumbull Co. Ohio, Jan. 5th 1821. Since the late war has made this place his home and center for several pursuits, and especially for labor in the Lord's Vineyard, for which he was so eminently qualified by Grace Divine. In early life he became convinced of the need of a Savior, and using his own language, :when a little fellow

going to Sunday school his little heart was drawn out in love to God who of his own goodness and mercy led him to trust in Jesus, the only name given among men, whereby we can be saved "From that time he loved to look and linger in the face of Jesus Christ, but like many others felt a diffidence in avowing his

attachment to Jesus, battling all the time with convictions of duty and the subtle workings of sin whispering in his ear, his youth and inability to honor Jesus. At age 20 years of age he publicly acknowledged Jesus, at a meeting in Wayne County Ohio and was immersed by Elder Shaule into the fellowship of the Milton Baptist Church. Possessing as he did rare gifts, he was licenses to preach the Everlasting Gospel of the Son of God. In this, his preeminently gifted sphere, God work with

him and through him to salvation of many precious souls who, in the resurrection morn "will shine as stars in his crown of rejoicing" In Ohio and Tennessee his principal fields of labor- very many sons and daughters were brought into the Kingdom of God's dear Son, in whose hearts his memory will live as an Oasis in a barren land. Adopting Tennessee as his future home, among men true to his manhood, and fealty to God, he lived in the hearts of all who knew him, a monumental evidence, of what

sinful erring man may be and do in social status and Christian fidelity, strong in his affections, he drew around him the hearts

of all whom he came in contact. As a man of business he commanded confidence, as a Christian he stood forth a shining light. In his death the community has lost one of its most valuable citizens. The Church of which

he was pastor and the Denomination at large are shorn of one of the great center powers of life. Long may his memory live in the hearts of the children of God. He leaves a devotedly

attached wife, daughter, and kindred associates to morn his separation from them, sharing his joys and dividing his sorrows one and inseparable in life, dropping the tear of sorrow over his emancipated form, they look beyond to that "city whose maker and builder is God- whither he has gone, where they shall meet

the Sacramental Host of God of which he stands recognized as one redeemed by the blood of Jesus, to swell the song of redeeming love throughout eternity. He was buried by Christian

friends, and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows- of which he was a member-At Cleveland, Tennessee, on May 21.1875

 

Ku-Klux made a raid on some houses above town last Monday night, and report says that :they left not one log upon another"-Well

done thou good and faithful servants.
