IN LOVING MEMORY OF MY DEYOTED FRIEND Again the death Angel boa vis ited our achool and plucked from our flower garden a precious bud, Bessie Clare Lawrence, aged 15 years, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Lawrence, j to be trans planted in the flower garden above. She was a faithful member of the Baptist Church and Sabbath School, always present on every occasion, services at this church being the last thing she attended on Sunday night before she grew ill on Monday night. Bessie was not thought serious until Thursday, Nov. 2. Every thing that physicians, loved ones and friends could do was done, but her suffering* oecame so intense she was removed to St. 'Vincent's Hospital on Friday moripng for an operation, which she stood very well, but on Sunday it became known that another operation was necessary, from which she began to sink from weakness and exhaus tion. and passed away without a struggle Tuesday.Nov. 7, With all the agony she endured she was never heard to murmur or complain. After she became ton weak to utter .a sound she would bow her head and smile when her devoted father would talk to her. But, this was more than his poor heart could stand, 1- _ 1 ? ? l. I a. a 9U jie leu ner ueusiae u> return no more, as he could not see her die. Her aunt. Mrs. Davis, of Ports mouth, was with her when the end came. For over one year Bessie and I have been almost inseparable, be coming fast friends when I first moved to her home town 'in Au gust 1VH5. Since then we have neyer had any hard feelings, as some girls have, for 1 have always found her the same beautiful char acter, gentle, loving, kind and true in sense of the word. Her gentle nature and manner not only drew me to her, but every one loved her that knew her. j The passing away of this beau tiful life is veiled in mystery, but "some time we will understand." But, I'll meet you, Bessie, for God has promised that through faith I may enter in at the golden gate, where curtains will be lifted, and I shall behold you, more beau tiful than before, clasping your hand with gladness as I enter in. Yes, I loved you better that I can tell. Everybody loved her for to know her was to love her. Old and young saw in her alike the beauty of a christian life. Another home has been broken and another shadow cast upon the brightness of my life. But is this all the qaeaning of this sad Provi dence1 If it were, those who are left might well pour _.out tears without measure night^and day, but blessed be God, it is not all. It is true another sweet life has vanished. It has passed through death however to enter unon an immortal life of holiness, beauty and fellowship with our Savior, to expand into a more beautiful life than coulj be reached on earth. You are gone from us, Bessie, and your school mates, teachers and loved ones miss you so much, in the morning of the Besurection, we expect to see you again, fur your soul is now basking in the sunlight of Josus, Bessie was brought home on Tuesday evening, and on the fol lowing day at three o'clock her remains were taken to the Baptist Church, where the funeral services were conducted by her pastor. Rev. C. L. Dowell, assisted by Rev. J. A. Morris, of the Metho dist Church, in a very impressive manner, after which her body was. Isid to rest in the Church ceme tery to await the resurection morn. Six of her school mates led the singing, assisted by the church .quartette. Several beautiful an thems were sung, which were so appropiate for the occasion, and her sdhool class carried the many beautiful floral tributes sent by loved ones, which attested the popularity of this dear girl. KEEP UP YOUR STOCK AMD CONTROL CHOLERA The well informed hog grower of todav knows of (he contagious ness of hog cholera. He knows that there are many ways in which it ma.v be spread, and in most ca ses he is taking steps to prevent it from getting to his herd. Hog cholera is spread by visit ing from one farm to another, in case the hogs have been insi>ected during the visit and the visitor has walked around in the hog tot where the animals are infeqted with the disease. It may Ire spread by birds, dogs, running streams, purchasing new stock, etc. By far the greatest source of danger, however, is from the sick hog that is allowed to roam at large, and by the non burial or burning of the dead one. In open range, sections the sick hog, if permitted to road at large, spreads the in fection and makes it certain that sooner or later all susceptible hogs will have cholera. It takes several months to grow a hog and get him ready for kill ing. It takes only a few days or weeks at the most for cholera to wipe out the entire herd. The greatest time of the year for the disease is in the fall and spring, and the greatest loss usually oc curs in the fall, for then the grow er Irns gotten his animals up to a good size and is ready to finish them for his winter's meat or for tl.o m.rl.l .1?.. .... .... ?<v u<t>> ?vv. ?? uvii wic.v nrr lout at this time, not only are the hogs themselves lost, but the labor and feed are gone, and sometimes the feed that has been saved is lost for a lack of other animals to eat it.? Extension Farm Ngws. Card of Thanks. The family of the late E. R. Jones desire to express to their many friends, both white and col ored, their deep gratitude for the kindly expressions of sympathy in words and in deeds extended to them during the illness and death of the husband and father. Words can convey but faintly our thanks. We are pomforted indite thought that a sainted husband, father and friend has gone to las reward. Winton, N. C. Adv Bessie leaves to mourn her de parture a devoted father, mother, sister and brother, besides a host of aelatives and friends, hut they mourn not as those who have do hope. For I know you are safe with Jesus, Safe from all earth's sin and care, Safe from this world's temptations, Nothing e'er can harm you there. But, Oh! how I miss you, Bessie; How I miss your gentle voice. If I could only hava yon with me. How my poor heart would rejoice. But, dear Bessie, you have left me, " And I know you are safe at rest; Safe from all earth's pein and sorrow, Restinir on Jesus' e-entle breast But. my darling, how I miss you, Mora than any tongue can tell; For to me you were a treaaure. And I loved you, oh! too well. How I miaa you, Bessie darling. Nlghta aeem long and daya ao drear: Seam to me yqu muet come back, For I aee you everywhere. You have left me broken hearted, For no more your voice I hear; But your aoul ia aafa in heaven, And for me you are waiting there. Aa the lingering ahadowa fall Will they hide the dreama of the paat? Ho, memoriea de-rer than all life Stay with me?such joya ever laat. I Borrow for your preaence atill Aa you left me when life waa ao bright I mourn in ailence. No hope comt a to me Can thia way of the croaa lead to light? Goodbye Beaaie, I'll meet you again. Over on that golden ahore. Where we will alwaya be darlinga. There, never to part any more.

The meeting will be held j in the Elk's (tub. All citizens ; who are interested in the reclama tion of the swamp lunds of the ; coast or overflowed areas in ceil- j tral and western North Carolina ] are most cordially invited to attend j the sessions ot the Convention. | The object of the reclamation J of these lands is threefold; (1) to ; increase the healthflulness in the [ section of the country mi which ; the swamp or overflowed areas \ exist; (2) to make a non-producing arcs productive, and thus add to the revenue of the commonwealth; (3) to faciliate intercourse between communities adjacent to these swamp areas by the construction of roads, which always follows the diaitiage of any swamp area. Up to the present time, about ! 122 drainage districts haVe been ! organized to reclaim between 800, ' 000 and 1.000.000 acres of land, which, before drainage, was not onlv ininrod active. hut a mp,.?pp to the health of the community. J Before drainage, tb?se lands were ! listed at from 25 cents to $1.00 J per acre. After being drained ! and cleared the land is worth from 4 $50 to $150 and more per ncre. 5 The cost of drainage varies from j $4 to $0 per acre in . the swamp < district to $15 to $25 per acres in 1 the Piedmont. Problems connected with the drainage of these areas will be dis cussed at the Convention, as well ( as further amendments to the ( drainage law. The. Association, ( however, has undertaken further f educational work in connection ^ with drainage, which relates es ( pecially to farm drainage, such as ( tile drainage terracing, etc. | Prizes are being offered by the j Association at this Convention to | the farmer who will submit the j best report of benefits acturlly j received through tile drainage, \ and to a member of the Boys' \ Agricultural Clubs for the most j approved plan for the under-drain- \ age of a (ield or a portion of a / field. Rules governing these con- / tests have been mailed to farmers / who have undertaken tile drain- | age and to members of the Boys' Agricultural Clubs. It is expect ed that this will be the means of awakening a widespread interest in this form of drainage, which means so much in increasing the < productivity of a great deal of the < farm lands of the State. < The delegates to the Convention ' wttl have the pivilege of inspecting , tfhn plant of the Pomona Terra < Cotta Company, where tile drain < is being manufactured, and it is ' expected that we will be able to , have a demonstration of a six horse power ditching machine, and a traction ditcher. There will be discussions from ( representatives of bond houses in i regard to snch changes us they \ may think .should be made in the < Drainage law to make the drainage < bonds more salable. There will j also be discussions in regard to the financing of drainage districts < with reference to the farm loan < banks. < As stated above, everv citizen < in the Slate who is interested in < this vast project of conservation J and reclamation is cordially invit- j ed to attend the sessions of the < Convention and take part in the I 1 .r no apH intra.
