then the state, and finally the nation.
In accordance with the wishes of
the late representative, simplicity
marked the funeral services. A veritable
bower of flowers covered the
grave, silent testimonials to the affection
of the people and their re
garu i?>r tne leaner wno naa passca.
Services were conducted by Dr.
Charles Anderson, pastor of the Baptist
church of which the congressman
had been a member assisT---: by
the Roc. Reuben Merirtith, <>t 'lie

C)n a beautiful grassy p'.ot c-.ar the
river, a table Is feet long was utterly
loaded down with an ah; < -t end
less variety of most palatable food.
Three ministers were present, and
just before dinner, the people listened
to ft vi>vv .niiinmiiati' sermon hv
Rev. D. M. Wheeler of Triplett, N. C.
Among- the older people present,
were grand-ma Ingram, and Elijah
Norris of Sands, and old uncle Riley
Greer of Rutnerwood, X. C.t who is
now turning toward* his 100 birthday.
These old people added much
to the occasion with pathetic words
of hope and encouragement.
Mr. and Mrs. Watson were married
52 years ago, and reared 1.1 children
11 of whom are living. They have
labored very hard, in rearing their
children and it is now a great pleasure
as they approach the sunset of
life, to reap in such an appropriate
way the full rich honors of their
early toil and care.
If the worth of father and mother
were fully real! wh'le living, as
they will be missed when gone; their
children would be lifting the burdens
^ of old age from their jhoulders, instead
of bringing their gray hairs
down in sorrow to the grave.
The reverence of children towards
their Barents was carried to the su
blime in Hebrew families. The child
found the ideal of his obedience ir
Isaac's willingly yielding himself tc
death at his fathers command. Joseph
when he met his father, "fel
cn his neck and wept a good while
and bowed himself to the earth be
fore him", and how the great* law
giver "did obedience to his father
in-law and kissed him". It was writ
ten by God Himself on the tables o
stone, "Honor thy father and th]
mother".

firing would disturb no one. The
Cheka; Soviet Agency for repressing

matter of noise. During the first tw o
weeks of April -148 persons were executed
in one prison in Moscow, but!
the residents in the vicinity of the
Cheka prison had become so nervous
