That spinners should fall I tack

uiiall supplies should curtail their
production is also to be expected,
hiu buyers of goods should hesitate

tut after all, the question remains

lock forward to a period of dry
weather, which may or may not

lave a slight curtailment in the
foods required for automobiles, so
ive will have many sharp fluctua

IN LOVING MEMORY
On Tuesday rooming. May IS,
1923, about 2: 30 o'clock, the angel
:>f death for the second time crept
roftly into the home of Mr. and
Mrs. E. M. Slaughter, of Dunn, and
with loving hands took from their
tender embrace their loving little
laughter. Dura Mildred, aged 5
years, 4 months and 23 days. She
was too pure an sweet for this ok)
■infill world. Her mission on earth
was finished, and the Lord took her
tome to live with Him, where no
nr row or pain will ever come. She
lutTered greatly for several days,
but was the most patient liule suf
ferer I ever saw. All that doctor
uni loving hands could do was done
ior her recovery, but our dear Lord
■aw best to take her.
She was a great joy and comfort
to mamma and papa and the light
of the home. None saw her but
to love her, but God loved heT best.
Though small as she was, she loved
tier Sunday school and Sunday
icbod teacher and wanted to see
her teacher, and talked of har Ettle
brother in heaven and wanted to
go to see him. So. mother and
father, you can find great comfort
in knowing you have two angels
waiting to greet your coming where
you will never part. Our little dar
ling carmot come to us again, but
what a blessed thought, we can go
:e her If we are faithful. We know
■he win be greatly missed, but our
loss is heT eternal pin.
The funeral service was conduct
id on Tuesday about 12: 30 o’doc*
from the home, by Rev. E. N. John
icm, pastor of the First Baptist
ihureh, in the presence of many sor
row mg relatives and friends, and
he remains were taken to her un
de's in Person county, where the
ervkc was ermduded by Rev. Todd
in Wednesday morning in the pres
sure of many sorrowing relatives
md friends, and her little body laid
to rest at Providence Baptist church,
hy the side of Iter little brother, who
, ptecedcd iter about 22 months. Sev
oral of the Dunn people accompan
ied the remains to their last muting
place. Die floral designs were
ntnpy ami very beautiful.
She leaves to mount her depart
ure a broken-hearted mother and
father, one sister and three brothers,
berides a host of relatives and
friends. But we mourn not cs those
who have oo hope. Goodby, darling,
tn Cod'* own good time we will see
you again.
I lere aw lule we must be j>arted,
And the flesh its S»l>balh keep.
Waiting in a lioly slillue.-A,
Wrapped in sleet) at Jesus’ feel.
I'or ••while her little body
Wait* in itracc the morning dawn
Where there breaks the last and
brightest,
Tn the resurrection morn
