Died at the home of a friend in Weldon, on Thursday evening, June I3ih, Julia Ransom, a well known col ored woman who lias spent much of her long and usdul lite in tins town.

Ever since Mr. and Mrs. Shamburger gsve to the M. E. Church a beau tiful service flag bearing a star for each young man in the service, who either himself or his family is identified with the church, some of the members have wanted a com panion U. S. Hag to go on the walls of the church with the other. At their last meeting it was decided ihai the Woman's Missionary So ciety should give this flag and also small ones ot the allied nations with whom our men are fighting, as a tribute to and token of the church's love for them. Most of these young men have been brought up in the church, were members ot the Junior Missionary Society and Sunday school and later communicants of the church itself, so it was most appropriate that the society should pay them this honor. On Sunday last these tlags which had been beautifully draped on the walls, were presen ted to the church. Appropriate hymns were sung, a fervent prayer offered by the pastor when Dr. D. a. Zollicolter stated that Mrs. w'ilkins, a member of the society would present the flags and also a beautiful Honor Roil, given by Mrs. S. B Pierce, which bore the names of the seventeen young men in service from the church. After presenting the flags, Mrs. Wilkins requested Dr. ZollicofTer to call this roll, which with the flags, will be preserved and cherished by church. The pastor, Mr. Sham- burger, feelingly accepted these gifts. Miss Londa Shamburger recited a beautiful poem. The choir sung the Star Spangled Ban ner and so ended a most impres sive service which was followed by the regular sermon by the pastor. RED CROSS NEWS.

Every tree and bush of the flowery kind never seemed under such a weight of blossoms, nor the air so freigted with sweet perfume. There have been no storms to rulfle a bloom or scar a leaf, and all nature does seem to untold itself with unusual perfec tion, and despite all the dark shad ows that crowd themselves into our lives here, as we look abroad we cannot refrain from exclaiming, it is a beautiful world after all ! Yet, in its brightest aspect, it is but counterpart to the world where the flowers eternal bloom in rich ness beyond all conception, and where the glowing light is so efful gent, earth in all its brightness would be but a shadow. Let us live for a better and still more beau tiful and grander world than this, where joys are eternal and the brightness never fades. Will Preach Sunday.-Rcv. Stanley White will fill his regular appointment at the Presbyterian church here next Sunday. June 23rd, at 3:30 p. m. The public coruiaiiy invited to attend the ser vice.

Subject of l.t'HHon Sermon: "Is the l1 Diverse, including man, evolved by atomic iorce." Wednemhiy eveuinjf at Testi mony meeting. Tlie public cordially invited to attend lhene service Dr. Frederic Jacobson Says, 75 per cent, ol women need Phos phates to give them Strong, Healthy, rounded figure and to avoid Nervous Breakdown. Thousands ol women grow strong In Nature's way. "Consider the Lilies ol the Field, How They Grow.1' The life of the lily is but a few weeks or months. The life of man is "three score years and ten." But to live one's life in it's fullness women like the lily, must be nour ished by those same vital elements which nature provides for nourish ing every living thine; and these include the valuable phosphate so often lacking in the usual food we eat today. Argo-Phos-phaie is rich in these wonderful elements. It contains them in con centrated tablet form which is easy to take and quickly assimulated and absorbed into the system, and from youth to old age, builds and re builds body and brain in beautiful harmony with Nature's perfect plan. "That's why" Argo-Phos-phate makes good solid flesh and muscles. Special Notice. Argo-Pho-s phate contains the Natural phos phates which thousands of physi cians are prescribing daily to build up thin, pale, colorless women to give them rosy cheeks, red lips and a beautiful complexion. Many cases have been reported where women have increased their weighl from 15 to 25 pounds with a few weeks treatment, and any woman who desires a well rounded and developed form, should secure from her druggist, this new' drug which is inexpensive and is dis pensed by the W.
