IN MEMORIAM
After a lingering illness, the
spirit of Mrs. George W. Ford
quietly passed away in the early
morning of June 7t>h, 1939.
?Miss Lula, only daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Edward Stegali was born
October 30th, 1854, in Louisburg,
North Carolina.
'Twas here she spent most of
her life, growing from childhood
to beautiful young womanhood.
She graduated from Louisburg
College, and truly reflected glory
on her Alma Mater.
As the years slipped by she de
veloped those innate qualities of
kindness, sincerity, understanding,
and with all a keen sense of hum
or, which drew to her many
friends, true and lasting.
In December 1879 she was mar
ried to Mr. George W. Ford.
Perhaps this happy marriage
was the beginning of a bigger and
fuller life.
The man of her choice measur
ed up to every requirement of a
gentle loving husband, as she be
came, with sweet dignity, a loyal,
devoted wife.
In the new home which they
builded, abounded a gracious hos
pitality; ? a welcome to visitors
from far and near, as well as to
friends.
Children came to this home, and
to Mrs. Ford this was her crown
ing joy, for motherhood seemed
to form like a halo over her life.
Lula Stegali Ford was fashion
ed for the best things in life, ? |
and to her the best things came. |
Sorrows came too, as t'hey must!
to all. Losing first her father, i
later her mother, both of whom
she adored, even as she was ador
ed by them'. I
These sorrows, drew her nearer I
to the Master whom she faithfully j
trusted, and left no stain of bitter-|
ness in her heart. '
Mrs. Ford was one of the most
cultured women of the town, her
bright intellect and sunny cheer
fulness, make her much sought
after.
After many years, t'he Death
Angel entered her home again and
took her faithful companion, the
husband, in whose love she had
been so secure.
Soon after her beloved son.
Ned. was taken.
The going of these two whom
she had 'loved and lost awhile,'
-cast a gluum over lier life aild|
home which seemed too deep toj
fathom.
Only (he loving, tender memor
ies, too beautiful to fade, could
reveal the silver lining of the
dense clouds, and bless her life
through her remaining years.
Then the Indiam Summer of
her life! Can 'one say this was the
most beautiful time? Such full
days, such well spent days!
"After the bud and blossom.
After the heat and the harvest of
summer ?
There are none so perfect as the
halcyon days
Of Indian Summer."
So gradually did those days
pass into a woman grown old, so
alert in every faculty of mind, so
understanding of young people ?
and all people, so interested in
current affairs, so much in touch
with vital ttoiuxs, made it difficult
to realize that "Sunset and even
ing star. And one clear . call"
would soon bring eternal peace,
which came to her, 'like a bene
diction after prayer.'
It is to the daughters and grand
children that t'he shadows fall
deepest. Rut to them she leaves
a wonderful heritage that will
comfort and bless tham all
through the coming years.

PROTECT SUMMER HOMES
AND CAMPS FROM KIRK
The pleasure and profit to be
gained from summer homes and
camps can be transformed easily
into tragedy and loss by fire.
These temporary homes, by their
very nature, call for greater vigil
ance during week-end and vaca
tion occupancy.
.The use of kerosene for lamps
and stoves is a common source of
i fire. But If a few simple rules are
observed, the danger can be great
ly reduced. Fill lamps and stoves
j in the daylight so you can see
I what you are doing. Store kerq
I sene and all other flammable
I liquids outsido the house. Use a
j tank or drum that has a drip
! proof faucet and keep a drip pan
under the faucet. Never start or
i hasten a fire with kerosene or any
other flammable liquid. If a port
able kerosene heater is to be used,
make sure it is on? listed by the
Underwriters' Laboratories.
Don't make Improper altera
tions of electric wiring. Guard

R UP TURE
| ' Shield Expert Here Again
E. J. Meinliardi, widely known
Expert of Chicago, will personal
ly be in Raleigh, N. C? at the Sir
Walter Hotel, Wednesgpy only,
June 21 Nt, froiu. 10 A. M. to 4 I',
M. only,
MR. MEINHARDI says: The
new Shield, which he recently in
vented, ie a tremendous improve
ment, usually affecting immediate
results. It strengthens the weak
ened muscles of the Opening ?
retaining the Rupture in 10 days
on the average case, regardless of
the size or location and no matter
how hard you work or strain. It
is waterproof, quickly removable
and has no leg straps or cum
bersome arrangements. (Positively
' no surgery or caustic burning in
I jection treatments used.) Mr.
I Meinhardi has been coming here
1 for 15 years.
Rupture (Hernia) can cause
backache, constipation, nervous
ness, weakness, stomach pains ?
sometimes resulting in serious
conditions.
Men having large Ruptures
which have returned after surgical
operations are also invited. When
all others fail ? see ME1NHARD1.
He will be pleased to demonstrate
to you privately without charge.
Beware of imitators.' (Only men
invited.) White only. 6-16-lt ,
ual sjiiet of metal attached to the
woV^work is of little value in pro- ,
tecting against ignition. Smoke
pipes should not pass through i
walls or partitions of wood or with
wood lath.
Burn accumulations of rubbish
and litter in .a metal incinerator.
When fires are started outdoors
never leave them unattehed.
Because summer homes and
camps usually are remote from
fire departments, and since wnter
is not always readily available,
keep fire pails and pump tanks or
fire extinguishers on hand and
know how to use them. If there
is an extinguisher in your car,
that too affords valuable fire pro- '
tection to the summer home as
well as on the road or in the gar-'
age.
And speaking of automobiles, if |
you value your life, don't burn up ;
the roads and don't burn up the ;
countryside. Throwing lighted ,
cigarettes and cigars out of the j
windows of your car as you pass
along the road, may cause great I
loss of life and property. Use the 1
ashtrays provided by the car man- i
ufacturer for disposing of stubs !
and ashes. And be sure you have.]
plenty of ashtrays around that j
summer camp or cottage.
Bo your part to protect your I
life, your property, and the great j
outdoors against fire.
THANKS
We gratefully acknowledge and !
thank every friend for the kind i
expressions of sympathy during .
the illness and death of our hus
band and father. . May Clod richly
bless you for your every kind 1
word, every uttered prayer and
every act of service.
Mrs. J. C. Murphy and family.
