DEATH OF A GOOD WOMAN.

Mrs. Howard, the mother of Col. J. J. Howard of this city, departed this life on last Tuesday evening the 16th inst., at her home near the residence of her son.  Mrs. Howard was well stricken in years, and for a long time had been a consistent and devoted member of the Baptist church.  We only had the pleasure of a limited acquaintance with her, but have often heard praises spoken by those who knew her well.  “She was a good woman” may be truthfully said of her, and what greater eulogy could be said of any one?  “Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God.”  May the relatives and friends who mourn her loss, follow her as she followed Christ, and meet her in heaven!
