At her home near Four Oaks on Monday evening, October 21, 1001, Mrs. helia Keen, the be loved wife of Geo. ?V. Keen, F-<]., passed from this earthly existent to that home not made by hands, eternal in the heavens. She had been confined to her room for sev eral weeks with typhoid fever. All that loxing hands and kind physicians could do could not stay the Angel of heath longer? He came au<l claimed her as His own. The subject of this sketch was born February 6, 1 808. hied October 21, 1901. Age 88 years, H months and lo days. This good woman possesssed every redeeming t rait of character. She was a true and faithful wife, de voted mother and ever exempli fied tiie true characteristics of a Christian life, having been a faithful member of the 1'riinifive Baptist church for several years. This sad dispensation is inex plicableto us; cutting down this good woman in the midst of her usefulness to her family, at the time one would think she was most needed. But we should re member that God's wavs are not .... ...l?l. wit in, r*>.j ? i l i i i u ? n n in v\ ?? i tii\i ? the cup from, 11 is hands. She leaves a husband, eight children and a host of friends to mourn tneirloss; but vwfeel that their loss is her eternal gain. On Tuesday evening, the 22, at .'5 o'clock her body was laid to rest in the family burying ground in the presence of a large concourse of relatives and friends. May Jesus to her husband and children, be a kind loving com panion through life, and to her j relatives a constant source of: comf ort in this, the saddest hour I of their lives and spare each onej of her loved ones until they are] fully prepared to meet Jesus, saying "Well done thou good! and faithful servant Filter thou , into the joys of thv Lord." Yet a little while, and we will sorrow j nevermore. Husband, children, relatives and friends prepare to meet her in glory. Weep not that her toils are over. Weep not that her race is un, God grant that we may rest as calmly When our work, like hers, is done. Friend. One Million tor Davidson. When the war began Davidson College had a larger endowmen than any other college in the South. Much of this endowment was lost by reason of war depre ciation. but with a small endow ment Davidson College has done work of the highest order, and has graduated men who have taken first rank in every profes sion and calling in North Caro lina. The synod now in session in session in Charlotte has taken a long step forward in electing Dr. J. W. Staggasagentof the Twen tieth Century Fund and in re solving to raise $300,000 for ed ucation during the coming year. At a speech at Davidson College Dr. Stagg created very great en thusiasm by declaring that the work begun would be vigorously prosecuted until I lavidson College had an endowment of $1,000,000 Dr. Stagg has a reputation sec ond to no man in the South as a money raiser, and he will see to it that his prediction is fulfilled. Dr. Stagg is easily one of the most eloquent men in the South ern pulpit and his enthusiasm will spread until the great work the synod has entered upon will be fully accomplished.?Raleigh News and Observer.

Thjit is the regular report from the monkey cage of Barnum's Circus ever since tlie keepers began dosing the monkeys with Scott's Emul sion. Consumption was carry ing off two thirds of them every year and the circus had to buy new ones. One day a keeper accident ally broke a bottle of Scott's Emulsion near the monkey cage and the monkeys eagerly lapped it up from the floor. This suggested the idea that it might do them good. Since then the monkeys have received regular doses and the keepers eport very few deaths from consumption. Of course it's hcaper to buy Scott's Ernul ;ion than new monkeys?and that suits the circus men. Consumption in monkeys and in man is the same disease, 'f vou have it cr are threaten ? 1 ?1 - * ? 1 ? - eu witn it can you take the hint? TIi's pirn-re represents ^ the Tnde Mark of Scott's r.
