RESOLUTIflMS
The day was far spent when the
sool of Blanche Halaey Vann re
turned to her creator, on Friday,
May 30, i918. VVhen the news
first reached our ears it seemed im
possible to believe it. Yet it phased
home to our hearta, and in the still
ness we knew we had lost our
friend.
While a progressive woman in
every respect, refined and cultured,
she was never able to do much ac
tive work. For several years hei
health was such as to keep her at
home and for the moat part in bed.
But her interlectual endowments,
her strong personality, her ability
and courage was an inspiration to
us. She was historian of oar chap
ter, and remained tn that position
until the death Angel whispered,
"Come with m?." She has left an
empty place yec her loving memory
will gladden our closing years.
So be it resolved:
1st. That we bow in humble sub
mission to the divine wijl of our
HeavenlyiFather.
2nd. That we deplore the death
of our daughter and friend,
Sid. That the Hertford County
Chapter of the U. D. C. recognize
and feel keenly the loss the Chapter
tiaa sustained in the way of Council
and advice, devotion and consecra
tion to Its work.
> 4th- That we deeply sympathize
with her family in this great sor
row and loss and commend them to
the Luid of all comfort, our only
help in tiiDf.ef need.
; 6th. That her memory will ever
live in our hearts and minds, snH
ever be a reminder of all that is
good and pure.
I <?th. That a copy of theae resolu
tions be spread upon our chapter
records. A copy sent to the fami
ly and same be published in the
county paper.

? Ask Anyone Who Hat Used It.
There are families who always aim
to keep a bottle of Chamberlain's
colic and Diarrhoea Remedy in the
house for nse in case !t is needed,
and find that it is not only a goed
investment but savee them no end
of gnffwnw. "As to its reliabity ask
anyone who has used it.

has been able to support his' five
motherless girls. The two oldest
ones are now, in Wilmington making
their hwn Jiving and the three young
er one*.aged 12. 14, am| 16 res
pectively are contented young farm
eretts because each of them, has
besp.givqn a pure bred Poland China
pig and there by an incentive to
stay at home on the farm.
Mr. R. T. Melvin, County agqnt

must be done to keep them from
followlng their sisjtms to the dty.

left, slope on ,Mf farm now tor ttp?
pigs .have proven of much fascina
tion to the young ladies and are
receiving as mucn care as if they
Were members of the family. The
girls give them the best of attention
and occasionally favor them, a few
hugs and kisses.
