Pruden passed to the Great Beyond aftar an lUaess of several months in his eighth ieth year. Mr. Pruden had been in ill health for several years and was confined ta his bed for four months suifering much pain, but without a murmur. Many strong men pass through afflic tion but there's never been one whose faith was more simple and whose resignation more beautiful than Mr. Pruden's. He told his friends he could not ask the Good Lord to take him, as he was willing to suffer until the Master was ready for him and he was ready and willing to go when the summons came, that he felt no fear. T. 1 If- D 1 . 1 xy ftiiuw wi. x * ?ucu "u m juvb him, he numbered hie friends by bis acquaintances, for he had no enemies. He was honored and respected by his entire community who ever found him true, honest and upright in all his transactions. It seemed as he drew nearer to the end of his sojourn here lie became deeper interested in eternal things and his faith in God increased as the months passed by. He possessed many noble qualities of mind and heart, so mutfh so that his death de serves more than a passing note. With a strong mind, a true heart, and an aggressive spirit he did not live in the pest but kept his face to the future, and would not look backwards. Dis appointments and losses did not break his spirit or paralyse his energy, he simply accepted the inevitable and was always cheerful. j Out from his gentle life there came a bright influence that sweetened every life coming within his touch. He said he had no. fear, that the way was bright; such statements aid in dispelling the clouds, then the spiritual eyes of his loved one follow him as be passes beyond the valley and sails toward the city of light, and they rejoice to think of his assur ance that when he approached the city the "beautiful gates" would un fold. Who could wish him back with no hope of regaining health. Still their hearts are sad at the vacant place in the home which never can be filled, but may they look forward to a joy ful re-union on the other shore. On Saturday afternoon at 8:80, bis funeral services were held at the M. E. church, of which he Waa a member, by his pastor, Rev. Barber* assisted by Rev. E. J. Isenhower in s very im pressive manner, and several of his favorite hymns sung by tile choir, after which the remains were taken to the cemetery and laid to rest among a large crowd of sorrowing relatives and friends to await the resaurrection morn.

Jordan, Cofield and Mrs. H. C. Mitchell, Ahoskie; Messrs. C. H. Pruden, Windsor and J. L. Pruden of Edgerton. In this dark hour his devoted wife and child ren have our deepest sympathy and may they bow in humble submission and say "the Lord gave and the Lord bath taken away, blessed be the name of the Lord." O how sweet it will bo in that beauti ful land, So free from all sorrow and pain, With songs on their lips and harps in their hands, Go meet dear husband and father again." Aren't Men Puny They wear clothes that cover them from ankle bone to Adam's Apple; they smoke?because they LIKE itl They tie knots that will untie!
