MEETING OF BAPTIST WOMEN
The Woman's Missionary Soci
eties of the various Baptist church
es in Halifax county, having or
ganized themselves into a county
union, held their second quarterly
meeting with the Baptist church
at I lalifax on Tuesday, May 2nd.
Preceding the meeting, Mrs. N.
L. Siedman, President of the Un
ion, served a delicious luncheon
at her home near the church to all
attending the meeting. Mrs. Sled
man proved herself a most gra
cious hostess and in the meeting, a
very capable presiding officer. We
bespeak for the new organization
a very successful career under her
direction. At this meeting, Mrs.
W. E. Daniel, of Weldon, was
made vice-president and the union
feels that her ripe wisdom and ex
tensive experience in missionary
work will be of especial help
in the work of this new organiza
tion.
Two excellent papers were read,
one by Mrs. E. M. Sawyer on
"Tithing" and the other on "Per
sonal Service" by Mrs. John P.
Holoman. Several matters of im
portance were considered, and
some business transacted. Mrs.
Mitchell, of Halifax, was made
secretary of the organization.
The next meeting is to be held
with the church at Enfield on
Tuesday following the fiifth Sun
day in July, the hour for assem
bling being 12 o'clock, noon. It
is desired that every church and
society in the county be represent
ed at the next meeting.
AT THE PEARLY QATES.
St. Peter: Who comes here?
Spirit: One who has passed
from earth and would enter the
abode of the righteous and just
- St. Peter: Have you lived a
lust and upright life?
Spirit: I have endeavored so to
do.
St. Peter: Have you repented
of your sins?
Spirit: 1 have.
St. Peter: Have you paid all of
your just debts?
Soirtt: I have.
St Peter: Are vou sure you
paid ALL of your just debts, that
not one has been overlooked?
. Snirit: Quite sure. St. Peter
1 have a reputation for promptness
in such matters.
St. Peter: Have you paid the
editor?
Spirit: Pardon, most excellent
St. Peter! 1 did forget to pay the
editor, but 1 am only one of the
many, and it is such a little thing
to hold against me. I beseech you
to forgive and permit me to enter.
St. Peter: Stand aside! As you
denied the editor his due. so do
we deny you what you had hoped
tu be your due. You may not en
ter until the editor lius been paid.

A MAN'S BEST ASSET.
The credit man of one of the
largest business houses in (he
country, one having customers in
nearly every city and town in ev
ery State, was asked the other day
what was his main rule in graining
credit. "1 try to get a line on the
personal life of my customer," he
replied. "I want to know whether
he leads a clean life or a dissipated
one; 1 want to know it he is eco
nomical and prudent in his busi
ness affairs. My information on
that line has more to do with grant
ing ciedit than almost anything
else."
A banker in a neighboring city
has the same views. Not long ago
a man came to him for a loan. He
had securities wonh eight or ten
times the amount of money
that he wanted to borrow, but the
loan was refused. One of the bank
direciors heard about the incident
and asked about it. "Yes," replied
the old banker, the man had am
ple security, and the loan no doubt
would have been sate. But I hap
nen to know that he is leading a
very wicked life; he is doing tilings
which will involve him in disgrace
sooner or later and I would much
prefer that some oilier bank handle
his business."
A man's good character is his
best asset. Reputation is based
upon character, and business men
judge a man by his reputation.
This has always been the ease, but
never more so than now. A man's
good character tried and proven, Is
his best asset and his best tnend.
DEATH OF J. W. WHITE.
We take the following from a
paper published at Newport News.
Mr. White was well known in this
vicinity, having lived in this coun
ty many years:
"Six or seven Confederate vet
erans, some of them in uniform,
and friends and relatives of John
William White, one time member
of Cook's Brigade, paid neir last
tribute to his memory on pnl2J,
at his home, 222 Pony-fourth
street.
"The Rev. Starke Jen and the
Rev. R. D. White conducted the
funeral services. Interment was
in Greenlawn Cemeiery.
"Mr. White's brigade was the
one which saved Lee's army from
being cut in two at the battle of
I Sharpsburg. Cook's Brigade was
organized in 1861 and Mr. White
served through the war with the
organization, being wounded at
Harper's Ferry and ai the Battle
of Manassas.
"The deceased, who was behind
one of ihe bayonets which saved
Lee's army at Sharpsburg, was
79 years, 1 1 months and 27 days
old. In I860, npon being dis
charged at the end ol the war, he
married Miss Virginia Perkins, of
Littleton. His home was- in. Hali
fax county. Five children were
born to ihein, three of whom died
in infancy.
"He is survived by his widow,
one daughter, Mrs. W. T Wilson,
and one grandson, Mr. L Earle
i White, of Norfolk."

WHAT WE SHALL DO.
It had been our intention to write
about the Glorious Climate, and
write at some length. Our writing
hours are before the sun climbs
over the trees, and therefore we
can't gel a line on what the weath
er man really intends for the day.
In ihe morning the prospects look
good for fair weather, but it rains
every day; so we have concluded
that we will simply say that this
Glorious Climate is Glorious only
when it is glorious, and as disap
pointing as a pretty girl when she
has a mood to not only dissemble
her love but also to kick you down
stairs.
A LONG ABSENCE.
Rev. W. P. Blake, who forty
years ago was pastor of the Bap
list church in this place, occupied
the pulpit of the Baptist church
last Sunday morning and evening.
There are only three members
living here now, who were mem
bers of the church during Mr.
Blake's pastorate. At that time
the Baptist worshipped in a little
,-hnrrh on Kim street. Now they
have one of the handsomest
churches in the State.
