Mary Maria Fou»t and John P. Pout.
Car. of The Gleaner.
Mary Maria Foust, daughter of
the lat« Daniel and Mary Foust,
was born Nov. 23, 1825, and died
March 6, 1916, aged 90 yean, 3
months and 23 days. She waa a
faithful and consistent member of
Spripgwood Presbyterian church,
Whltaett, N. C., for* something
like fo/iy years.
She was a woman of most
tmiable qualities; social and
warm-hearted to an unusual de
gree, and waa known and tender
ly loved by a wide circle of friends
and acquaintances.
Her eutire life was spent at the
old Foust homestead one mile
west of Whitaett, except Mr a
brief time spent in the home of
her favorite brother, the late
Daniel F. Foust. Her filial devo
tion was although a wo
man of rare beauty with numer
ous admirers she never married,
but remained at home giving to
her parent# so long as they lived
her constant and kindly care.
Throughout her community the
beloved name of "Aunt Mary
Foust" has for half a century been
held in loving admiration.
She lived died a beautiful
example of noble Christian woman
hood, leaving to all who knew her
a legacy of memories purer and
tenderer because of her serene and
beautiful life.
On the afternoon of Wednes
day, March Bth, she was laid
tenderly to rest amid her kindred
in the Springwood cemetery, sleep
ing beneath a covering of bloom
and flowers; not dead, but sleep
ing, and in the eternal dawn of
the eudless days beyond we shall
see her sw«#)t face once again.
John F. Foust, son of the late
Daniel and Mary Foust, was born
April 2, 1830 and died March 7,
1016, aged 85 years, 11 months
and 5 days. Most of the years of
his mature manhood were spent
upon his farm near Foust's Mills
three miles west of Whiteett. Sell
ing his farm in recent years he
returned to spend his last days
with his sister, Mary M. Foost.
Neither of thecn ever married, and
their closing years were spent to
gether upon the old home grounds
where their joyous childhood days
iiad run so happily together.
Their brother, Gideon C. Foust,
died only a few days ago, and
with the passing of these three
aged people there passed the last
of a remarkable family of fifteen
Children. There were four daugh
ters and eleven sobs, their father
having been twice married, first
to Mary Clapp and after her death
to Catharine Freeland.
John F. Foust never mingled to
any great extent in public life,
but chose rather the quiet scenes
of his own home circle. He came
of a strong line of people, and
had many of the marked traits of
his ancesiry.
Peace to his ashes; afterlife's
fitful fever he sleeps well. March,
Bth he was laid to rest in quieV
*»pringwood cemetery by the side
of tlie sister who had died only a
few hours before his death.

Where the Analogy
Doesn't Hold Good.
Wijmington Star
Senator Overman takes the
ground that because there was no
surrender of American rights in
warniDg Americans to keep ont
of the danger zone of Mexico there
would be no surrender of rights
in warning them to ke£p off of
armed merchant ships. The Sen
ator ought not to deal in such
faulty analogy. When an Amer
ican goes into Mexico he goes into
somebody else's territory, some
body else's premises, as it were.
When he goes on the high seas,
even on an armed merchant ship,
he is on the world's highway, even
though he may be showing lack
of personal prudence. The dif
ference is the same as the dif
ference detween going into An
other man's house or on his lot,
wheq there is danger of setting
shot, and passing along the public
street in front of his house, when
there is a possibility or even a
probability that he may shoot you.
In one case you are an intruder
or a tresspasser"; in the other, you
are a traveler on a public thor-"

The best place to hide money is where they have vaults for safely
protecting it. Every week we see newspaper Accounts of people
having been robbed. Sugar bowls, rag bags, under ihe carpet, be
hind pictures, and all of those other places where people conceal
their money, are well known to burglars. Hide it in OUR BANK,
then you know you can get it when you want it.
