The Hospital Offer
The offer made by the Edgecombe
Benevolent association to the counties
of Kdgecombe, Halifax and Martin is
no. to be taken lightly. While on the
general surface of the matter, we,
or rather a majority of us, would
say we are not in need of such a
thing. All of Martin's patients make
it to the hospitals in towns nearer us
than the one in Tarboro. That's true.

IN MEMORY \ I
In memory of our loving father,
Joel Bennett, departed this life De
ember 112, 1925.
Just one year ago, dear father
God saw fit to take you home;
.Out long: lonely year of sorrow,
I For the ones you left alone.
I How we miss you, father dear,
None can tell but our sad hearts
No one can tell the sorrow that filled
us
When from you we had to part.
When at night, we are gathered
'Round the lonely home fire,
We can only hope and pray, dear
That we will meet you by and by.
We feel you are happy;
Your work on earth is done,
And we hope to meet you
On that bright and happy shore.
- Your work on earth is o'er,
—Written by a loving daughter,
. . HELEN BENNETT.
