DIED.
Little Herbert Bascombe Harrell
was born June 15. 1919, and died
in Weldon, N. C, at the home of
his grandfather, Mr. H. B. Har
rell on Friday night, February 27,
1920. He was buried from the
home on Sunday Rev. F. Cousins
and Rev. J. G. Blalock conducting
the services which were especially
sweet and impressive. The inter
ment was in Cedarwood cemetery.
This frail little babe had been a
sufferer all his short life and in
spite of every possible care and
attention the silver cord was loosed
and the little sou! returned to rest
"safe in the arms of Jesus" who
said, "Suffer the little children to
come unto me for of such is the
Kingdom of Heaven." The little
aaby boy, only child of young and
loving parents, the only grand
child of the grandparents will be
missed and the shadows hangover
the home. It is often hard to say
"Thy will be done," "for now we
see through a glass darkly" but
when we awake in the likeness
of Him who doeth all things well
we will perhaps wonder why our
faith should he so small, and
we be so often led to doubt. So
we would say to the trou
bled hearts, look up and be
lieve and say with one of old, "It
is well with the child," and look
forward to that home where suf
fering and sorrow are unknown
and where little Bascombe waits to
welcome those who have loved
him here, A Friend.

The Popular Game. The fol
lowing is from Uncle Walt Mason:
Every one is profiteering, every
one is profitstruck; no one's
pleased unless he's clearing ninety
cents on every buck, I would buy
myself some clothing something
shelf-worn would suffice but my
soul is filled with loathing when I
contemplate the price. I would
buy a slab of bacon, but the man
who sells the same by his consci
ence is forsaken, and his prices
are a shame. I would like to paint
my shanty, whose appearance is a
frost, but the burning words of
Dante can't do justice to the cost.
Now and then I go a-questing for
the reason for this craze; and the
blame is always resting on some
distant nameless jays. Oh, the
blame is never local, it is always
most remote; and each man, pro
fanely vocal, says some others get
his goat. Vain is all our loud re
sistance to the graft that makes us
sick; always in the hazy distance
are the knaves who do the trick.
Always in elusive shadow in the
profiteering group, which has
found its El Dorado, while con
snmers find their soup. Far away
the robbers shameless who har
poon us through and through; and
your merchant prince is blameless
he gets stung as well as you.
Shooting at high prices seems
only to scare them higher.
