Obitaarj if Mrs. Amanda Creese. One of the saddest thing in this world is that we never fully appreciate our friends until they are gone, ao matter bow much e love them, bow much we try to honor them, we always real ize after t bey are gone from us, that we never knew how good they were, how much they meant to our lives until the place close beside us is vacant. We thought we knew sister A manda Greene, as we .had loved her so long; but when on that Sunday night they told us that God 'a angel had taken that pure soul to her Master, we felt that we bad never rightly known or oved her before. Sister Amanda Greene was born July the 5th, 18G0. in Caldwell county, N. C. where she spent her childhood days. On'July 31, 892. she was happily married to Mr. II. II. Greene, of Leander, Watauga county, N. C, where she spent the remainder of her ife. She was a faithful christian companion, a eweet and loving mother, a kind neighbor and rlcnd. She was a tower of strength to her husband and a ministering angel in their home. She joined the Baptist church at an early age at Sulphur Springs, in Alexander county, N. C . in the year 1876, but at the time of her death she was a mem ber of Timbered Ridge Baptist church of P e o r i a, N. C- She .always lived a faithful, ex emplary, christian life, being in active service for he Master until ber health began .to fail. . For several months she had' been in declining health, and those who knew ber best and loved ber must, knew that the end was gradually approaching. Like true soldier, she -bore her affile tion with patience and was never heard to complain. On April 13, 1913, the sleep of death kissed her brow and she entered ber eternal home, Her funeral was conducted by ber pastor, Rev. John E. Eller, assisted by Rev. Wellington Swift and R. L Palmer. She was laid to rest in the cemetery near near her home, it was a rare thing for her to be absent from anv church services, and then when only providentially binder ed. The church the loved so well will seem lonely without her, There is the comforting assur ance to those who loved her best that while, to them comes t h greatest sorrow, to them also comes the greatest joy when they think that she who was so dear to them has been minister ed unto by the Great Physiciau whose touch banishes all suffer ing from the soul, and with whom to dwell eternally in the supreme rapture of all who put their trust iu Him. She leaves to mourn her loss a devoted christian husband, four children, three sisters and a host of relatives and Iriends. We bow in humble submission to the wil ofGod.'and pray His blessings to rest upon the bereaved ones W. H. Eller, J. L Grydeb, r. L. Ghvder, W. L. Greene, Carrie Tester, LaicretiaGrydeh Com.

UHildren Cry FOR FLETCHER'S Csnirissmu Doflfjitoi Oi Important Committees. Congressman R. L. Doughton bin been selected as Chairman of the Committee on Expenditures in the Department of Agricul ture. This position carries with it great opportunities for being of seryice to the Agricultural in terests of his District. He bad served lor two years on this com mittee, and bis Iriends are more than pleased to see his untiring services as an individual member rewarded by the Chairmanship. He may be counted on to use the full power of his ne,w position for the farmers of his District and others who are interested in the upbuilding of the Agricultural ndustry- He has also been elected a mem ber of tu& new torn imt tee on Roads a new Committee, but one possesing an unusual oppor tunity to be service to the people as a whole. This Committee will very probably have charge of the expenditure of vast sum of money in Federail to good roads construction, and membership on this body was eagerly sought after by many members of the older and supposedly more im portant committee. Ul scarcely less importance is his selection as a member of the Committe on Education. The work of this Committee bears a vital relation to the educational interests of the country, and through its efforts the country as a whole may expect beneficial results to follow along the line of Federal aid to local education al institutions or direct instruc tion to the people along various lines of practical education. Agriculture, Roads nd Ed c.ca tion; improvement in each of those branches is what the Eighth District needs most, and it should be a source of pride to all in this District that their representative holds membership on three of the most important Committees of the House (the chairmanship of one,) which bear such a vital relation to their material wel fare.

At the meeting here last Mon day night held iq the interest of the inorul betterment of our town a new oroer whs founded, to be known as "The 'tend to Your own Bminess Society." At thU meeting the underused expres sed the opinion that there a no esjiecial need of such an organ ization here, believing that, the the great majority of ourcitizen being church members, and. there fore, as Christian, already pled ged to keep from tattling and gossiping should not be asked to sign a pledge to that effect. Because of that statement, his private opinion publicly express ed, and the fact that he declined to join the society, it has been rumored that a "severe blow has been given a siurere effort" and "tattling licensed." No one likes to have his own way more than the undersigned, but, no one dislikes a tattler more than he, yet he fails to un derstand why his fihire to join should "bluff" or "block" any order which has for its object the good of the community, when, the very persons who would have him shoulder the responsibility of their failure to enroll at the start a big list ol charter mem bers, do little or anything to up hold, by attendance or other en couragiug signs, the ministry of this town in their efforts toward the spiritual uplift ot the com raunity, when, in their hearts they must admit that if all chris' tian work and influence were re moved from the community, the best citizens would move out and the Devil would moye in.

A dispatch ;to the Charlotte News says that during the past week, thirty different liners land ed $30,000 foreigners on Ellis Island, New York. It looks as if Uncle Sam will after a while have to moye out and let foreigners baye room. Col. R. H. Jones, of Raleigh has just been appointed to a po sition in the United States Sen- ate. He is to take charge of the stationery department. The po sition pays $200 per month. He will lake up hie duties about the loth inst.

In memory of the 2G7 officers and men who were lost with the battleship Maine in Havana Har bor 15 yeare ago, a National Maine Monument was dedicated at New York on May 30.

The king a lighted from the train and en deavored to stop the flow of blood, but she died in a few min utes. This was a tragic incident and shows the kind heart of the king. On June 2 Ed word M. Camp bell, of Birmingham, Alabama, was sworn in as Chief Justice of the United States Court of claims. In tb office of the Secretary of Stat, William Jennings Bryan on last Saturday bclorc a dis tinguished gathering of States men the Constitution of the I'ui ted States was amended for the 17tb time.

A news dispatch from Wilming ton report? that "in a veritable grave nn the premises of the city hall, 157 gallons, one quart and one pint of whiskey in containers ranging in size from a hall-pint to one gallon, were interred by the police, while a large number of persons looked on. The whis key had been seized at different times during the past two years. It is inferred from the above that the whiskey was buried for fu ture use. There is no statement thas it was poured out. "In a veritable grave" more than 157 gallons of whiskey, "in contain ers," "were interred." Years hence when the whiskey is mellow with age they will doubtless ex hume it provided they can keep the thirsty away from the graye in the meantime. It would seem from reading of the Confederate Veteran's Reun ion at Chattanooga, Tenn-, that the days of animosity and bit terness are about over between the north and south. One thou sand gray haired veterans were mounted on the handsome horses furnished by the eleventh U. S. Cavalry tendered by Fort Ogle thorpe's officials. This use of the Federal horses showed that there was no bitterness on cither side. Thousands of the epecta tors who watched the impressive sight were moved to tears, as memory carried tbem back to the fierce struggle from '61 to . During the march many were forced to drop . out. l tie weight of years is pressing sorely upon many of them, and the step that was elastic and firm 50 years ago. is feeble now, but we honor the ones who wore the gray.
