In Msmoriam.
Little Thomas Mitchell youngest
son of Mrs. Reulali Mitchell died
at the home of his uncle Mr.
George Mndlin, Lewiston, N. C.
Thursday 4th., 1915. at the early
age of 18 months anil 9 days.
He was taken with pneumonia
which extended over two weeks
then developed into spinal meni
ogities from which he suffered
three weeks causing him to go
perfectly blind before he died. All
that could be done, by the attent
ion of faithful physician, the ten
der and unwearied nursing of
loved ones who watched anxiously
by his bedside, and the kindness
of sympathetic friends, was done
to prolong his life, but our Heav
enly Father willed that it should
be otherwise, so on Friday morn
ing He gathered the little lamb
from the fold on earth to rest for
ever in the green pastures and be
side the still waters of the Heav
enly Land.' ,
Little Thomas was an unusually
bright and beautiful child for his
tender age and from infancy car
ried a smile for every one.
It is true the little fellow is gone
and left a broken Iheirted mother
and little brother Robert, but they
know he*has entered the garden
just beyond, and joined father and
sister where all their summers
will be beautiful, waiting for
mother and brother to {join them,
and may they seek the path to
that garden until they find it. Yes,
they will be lonely, God alone
knows how lonely, but what are a
few years of loneliness to the eter
nity of joy ahead, where hearts are
never wrung in parting.
Hie remains were taken toH?r
rellsville on Friday and laid . to
rest in the family csmetery beside
father and little sister to await
the resurrection mom. May the
God of all comfort, consciously
abide in the bereaved home until
the earth shadows flee away, and
all kroken ties are reunited in the
mansions above.
Safely, safely gathered in, t
Far from sorrow, far from sin;
No more childish griefs or fears.
No more sadness, no more tearst
For the Ufa so young and fair
Now both has passed from earthly care,
God himself the same will keep!
Giving his beloved sleep.

Return Thanks.
I wish to thank through the
columns of the Hbktfokd Colhty
Hehald, my neighbors aqdfriende
at Lewiston for the comfort and
aid rendered daring the live weeks
illness, and death of m.v baby boy
Many times when I felt that this
trouble was more than I could
bear so many came forward to
render service, speaking words of
comfort to a broken hearted
mother, which was a great consola
tion to me, during those sad and
weary hours of my life.
I thank each and every one, and
especially the faithful physician
Dr. Garris who rendered untiring
service, from the depths of my
sorrowing heart for every kindness
shown me.

(Concluded from page l.J
in hand the board of directors ,
found it impossible to undertake
the erection of the whole building
and, consequently, the central
section only was erected and finish
ed, and is now used as laboratories .
and class rooms for the various
science taught in the college. Wm
cannot increase the attendance to
any large extent without provid
ing additional class rooms. As tins
building is to be a memorial to
the founder of the college, it
seems to me that it should be com
pleted as early as possible.

"Our present dormitories have
accommodations for about 575
students. During the past two
years we have completed and now
use two dormitories accommodat
ing about 60 students each. Not
withstanding this increase in our
capacity, we find ourselves unable
to accommodate a)l who wish to
enter the institution as students.
"There has never beea a time
when the demand for trained
teachers in our State was so
urgent. It seems to me that it
would be a wise investment if the
Legislature would provide for in
creasing our dormitory capacity
each year for several years. In a
college for young. women the at
tendance can with fair accuracy
be measured by the capacity of the
dormitories." ,
SUU IttpiUI, Isrgaatsi.
Dr. John McCampbell, supeTTh"
tendent of the State Hospital at
Morganton, appeared before the
committee and stated the needs of
-the institution over which he pre
sides. He asked for an appro
priation of $60,000 to increase the
capacity of the new receiving
building, $60,000 to construct ?'
wate^ system and $222,000 for
maintenance. Dr. McCampbell
stated that the present capacity of
the inititution is about 1,200
patients and that if the capacity of
the receiving building is increased
200 more can be -taken care of.
This past year 397 applications for
admission wore rejected on ac
count of lack of room.
Capt. J. P. Sawyer, of Ashe
ville, fir. R. R. Clark of Statee
ville, and Mr. A. E. Tate of High
Point, members of the board ol
directors were present and ex
pressed their views to the com

Mrs. 0. Francis Thomas.
Mrs. O. Francis Thomas died st
the home of her brother, Mr.
Albert Atkins on Thursday night
February 11, 1915. Mrs. Thomas
united with the Bethlehem Baptist
church when she was a girl, and in
later years she was married to Mr.
J<?eph J. Thomas who died only
a few mon'hs later. 'After
the death of her husband. iKe.
lived with several of hec sifters
and cared for them aS long a? she
was able to do so. Later she went
to live with h$r broth*#; Mr.
Albert Atkirfs, where she remained
until her dadth. She was long a
qniet, patient sufferer, and her last
sickness found her,too frail and
infirm to long survive. She was a
gia d woman livings patient, quiet
shut in life, and we believe she
was ready and welcomed the change
and that death was to her a relief.
The funeral services were con
ducted by the pastor and the burial
took place at the family burying
ground on the land of Mr. 8. J.
Hill.
\Ve extend our sympathies to
her aged brother, Mr. Albert At
kins, who is the last surviving
member of the familv on either
side. May the grace which is
ever equal to the suppo'rt and com
fort of God's suffering people be
graciously vouchsafed to him in
this bereavement and sorrow,
C. L. Dowell.
