Ou the 23rd of Dec , 1904,
tbe summons of Death came
to the home of our dear bro
ther. Elder D. ft Harman,
bod said: "Come home Broth
er Harman, and rest from
J-our labors and be free from
jonr suffering,"
Brother Harman was born
on April 17, 1826, and was
79 j ears, 8 moots and 6 days
old. He professed faith in
Christ when he was about 18
yearn old. nnd Joined the Bap
tist church at Cobb's Creek,
Sohnsoh county, Tenn., and
in J one, 1844, moved h i e
membership to Cove Creek
Baptist church. In the year
1849, with other members,
he took letters and conetitu"
ted Antioch church, where his
membership remained 40 or
45 years. Some years ago he
came to Brushy Folk church
where he remained a member
Until his death.
Brother Harman was or
dained for the ministry by
Antioch church in the year
1852, Eiders John.A. Fdrth
jhff and Joseph Harrison coo
etituting a Presbytery.
He was twice manied. Bis
first wife, Ellen Shuffleld. be
married in 1864. By his first
wife be had eight childrn, 6
sons and 2 daughters. Four
of the sons had passed over
the river of death before their
father. His second wife was
Nellie Hagamnn. they bring
married in 1872, by which
ther had one son, who is still
living. Botbof his wives' pre
ceded him to the, glory land.
Brother Harman lived a
ctroshstant christian life, ever
being ready to defend the
Baptist faith and doctriues
of the Holy Scripture as b
understood them. He was a
leader in the Baptist denoroi
natation and especially in
the Three Fork Association.
His opinion on any contro
verted points or doctrine was
alwavs taken eg sound. He
was moderator ond clerk of
TareefFork Association for
several terms, and we very
much doubt whether the Bap
tists of Western North Caro
lina ever had a man born and
reared ro the west who was
the superior of Brother Har
tuan. He was held in high
esteem by bis neighbors and
the citizens of his county.
H was elected Captain of
t'o. D., 58th North Carolina
Troops in the late war be
tween tbe States and stayed
with his compauy unlil his
hearth failed and he bad to
i esign and come home, He
was also register of deeds of
Watauga county one or two
terms. Boib positions he held
wrfh honor to himself and
his people.
In the death of Brother D.
C. Harman the Baptists of
Watauga county and the
church at Brushy Fork has
tost a good and faithful mem
ber and bis children a good
and faithful father.
W tbe cbuTch at Brushy
Fork, tender to the children
our sincere sympathy in their
bereavement.

The following beautiful OH
f.ntal legend jvhs told to the
writer by one of North Caro
lina's most gifted Masons,
and 1 bone that it-will be en
joyed by all who read it. It
makps clear Matthew 12-10;
Wh.n Solomon's temple
was in process of erection,
the timbers and stones were
all prepared in the forest 9
and in tbe quarries so that
they all fit together with
beautiful precision without
the sound of a hammer be
ing heard. One day the most
beautiful stone that had ev
er been seen, was floated
down the sea to Joppa, and
thence to its destination Tbe
workmen wete bewildered. It
bad sueh a peculiar shape
they couldn't make it fit in
any plac, so beautiful as it
was, castaway among the
rubbish and no more was
thought about it. So, when
the Temple was completed,
King Solomon was called to
look at the magnificent strac
ture. He looked at the splen
did edifice, built for; Deity
Himself, and thought it com
plete. At last, away up in
one of tbe wings, he saw a
stone missing. "Where," he
calif d, 'Ms the beautiful stone
that I had prf pared for this
rery spot?" The workmen
thought of the rejected stone,
got it and hoisted it into
place and it fit exactly and
tbe beautiful structure stood
complete, the dwelling place
of Jehovah.
There U nothing on earth
so pure and sweet as tbe in-
nocency nnd purity of child
hood. Like tbe buds of tbe
rose they barn'! yet unfold
ed the petals of their little
hearts to catch the evil m
this sinful world. No thought
for tbe future, no cares for
today, they are perfectly hap
py, if allowed a child's, privi
leges. How touching it is,
when the children in tbe
crowded tenements of t b e
gieat cities have to learn so
early that life is a stern real
ity. Take the pleasures of
childhood out of life and it
becomes a failure. Childhood
should be mad? happy.as far
as possible. Aill iyps are made
bappie; if thv start with a
happy, care free childhood,

Bill Nye the humorist once
had a cow to sell, the story
goes, aud adreitised her as
follows: "Owing to my il
health I will sell at my resi
dence, in towuship 19, range
18, according to tbe gover
nmenteurvey, oneplusb rasp
berry cow. aged 8 yeats. She
is of undoubted coinage and
gives milk frequently. To a
man who does not Kar death
in any form she would be a
great boon. She is very much
attached to her preseDt home
with a stay ehttin, but she
will be sold to any one who
will agree to treat her right.
She is one fourth Shorthorn
and three-fourths Hyenu. I
will nlso throw in a double
barrel shot gun which goes
with her. Id May she usually
goes away for a week or two
and returns with a Jail, red
calf with wabbly legs. Her
name is Rose. 1 would rather
sell her to a non-resident."
