In Memorlam.
On Wednesday morning. May 9th
the death angel visited the home of
Mr. W. M. Dement and took thore-^
from his mother Mrs. N. M. Dement/
Mrs. Demcut had been sick only
nine days. The preceding Wednes
day before she died, she was stricken
with a severe stroke of paralysis from
which she never recovered. Mrs.
Dement was a member of Piney Grove
church and was a devout. Chilean
lady. She attended church whenever
she could, but in her later years she
became very feeble and consequently
could not attend; but all the time she
remained a true Christian lady. All
was done ,on earth that could be done
for her, but God saw fit and took her
to rest. So weep not dear friends for
your loss is her eternal gain. Mrs.
Dement was 74 years of age and is
survived by four children, Mr. W. M.
Dement with whom she resided. Mrs.
Robert Dickerson, of Franklinton,
Mrs. Joseph Fulcher. of Henderson,
and Miss Cora Dement, of Louisburg.
She is also survived by a number of
grandchildren. The funeral services
?were held from her home Wednesday
afternoon at 3:00 by Rev. M. Stamps
and was tenderly laid to rest in Oak
lawn Qemetery. The floral tribute
was beautiful and showed the esteem
in wfeich she was held by a great cir
cle of friends. Mrs. Dement was a
kind, Ipvlng woman and was loved and
esteemed by all who knew her and
will be sadly missed.
Weep not dear friends for her who
has departed.
The pall bearers were J Messrrs.

A FRIEND.
Memorial Day.
For years It has been our custom to
meet on May 10th And go oat to the
cemetery to place flowers on the gra
ves of our Confederate Veterans. It
is a simple offering we take, but It is
a beautiful expression of the love and
honor in which we hold the memory
of these men. who gave themselves
a willing sacrifice for the protection of
home and loved ones and to maintain
the -tovereign rights of sovereign
statue.
Our memorial exercises were held
at tl)e conclusion of the funeral ser
vice* of Mrs. B. F. Hawkins, who for
a long time was a loyal member of our
Chafter.
We gathered as usual, near the
gravp of Judge Joseph J. Davis. Rev.
F. Sj. Love who had kindly conik*ted
to be with us, opened the exercises
wltlf nraver. followed by a short ad
dress . His remarks wereco lie heil in
graceful, beautiful language, and the
spirit of reverence for the ideals
which had made great the live? of
these heroes, touched deeply the hearts
of his hearers; be also emphasized the
fact that a heritage of unstained va
. lor had made it possible for the des
cendants of these men to go to the
distant lands to battle for the right.
We return thanks to Mr. Love for his
presence and his words. At the con
clusion of the address we dispersed
throughout the cemetery to place flow
ers on every grave at which stood the
Iron Cross of Honor. There are a
few graves made there during the past
year which are unmarked in this way.
The crosses were ordered and we
were notified of their shipment in am
ple time for memorial day, but on ac
count, of the congested conditions of
the freight trafTic they did not reach
us. They will be put in position as
soon as possible. We thank all who
were with us on this occasslon, and
trusj that from year to- year, they
will meet and help keep green the
memory of our old and honored sol
diers .

The series of lectures on health top
ics terminated Sunday afternoon at the
B. -Y. P. U. with a magnificent dis
course on Tuberculosis or Consump
tion, the lecturer being Dr. J. B.
Davis.
The speaker held the rapt attention
of a large audience composed of the
best colored citizens of Loulsburg and
Franklin county, there being many
representatives from the different col"
leges in the state.
In-beginning, said he in part: Tu
berculosis is one of the most frequent
of the fatal diseases that attack the
human anatomy. But although, var
ious statisticians have estimated the
death toll from this areadful malady
all the way from 1-6 to 1-9 of our en
tire American population, the appall
ing thing is not so much that the dis
ease occurs but that most of the
deaths are entirely preventable. It
is estimated that at least four hundred
persons die every day from this dis
ease. =?
?Neither is the hope of life abandon
ed because aperson has consumption
was brought out during the lecture.
Because, he continued, many of these
cases are of the incipient type, and
many such invalids may be fully res
tored to health if both the medical
and hygienic treatments be preserved
in for a long duration.
In support of this statement, Dr.
Davis recited speciflic instances. The
late Dr. Joseph Parish, of Philadel
phia as well as another well known
medical practitioner of the Quaker
City were two who had recovered from
the disease and died at an advanced
age of other troubles. The doctor
then recited the case of a man with
whom he formerly worked in New
York State, who was compelled to re
side in the Adirondacks, tho' his home
was in the Metropolis.
Dr. Davis closed his address by re
ferring to one of his own patients who
was tow-plowing. as of yore. Hed
ged h?Xhcarors to pay more attention
to health mattere.
