How eager we were to fold," and how kindly was the greeting from Miss Minnie Smith, who had planned to entertain us while we sojourned in England. What a bustling place" Liverpool is. There seems a little less con sideration of caste there than in any other city we visited in En gland, doubtless because it .is a business city of no special illus trious history where the rich men are in trade, whose fathers work ed or came up by way of trade. making it impossible for their caste to be gentlemen in . their native land. The city has modern streets, ret the mortal remains of Shakes- .a A . t peare. Just back 01 tnis ancient Gothic flows the quiet Avon in the gas?e bed where it has glided 'or centuries. We stopped for refreshments at the Red Horse Inn, where Miss Minnie served a delicious course -dinner, then went out for a stroll through the quaint old village and visited with thrilling interest the house where Shakespeare was born. We haven't time to write about the sights and wonders of Bris tol, and London being the largest metropolis in the world, we can only speak incidentally of it. We took rooms at a hotel where we could lookout at broad, splen did, muddy Thames, slowly roll ing in its graceful and stately way beneath its many bridges, bearinar with it heavy lumber barges, excited, tooting little penny steamers and crafts of va rious shapes and sizes, the er rand or burden of each meaning a different story. London's West minster Abby and Towers are no lonsrer novelties to those who visit the place every few years, but we were unable to restrain our feeling at the sight of them, for we had never before had more than a brief and superficial idea of them. No capitol is better supplied with public parks, the most notable being Hyde Park, covering about 400 acres, in the heart of London, and there we saw a brilliant display of wealth and fashion. Of, kll the .many., noted churches old and new, Westminster - Abby ia the most interesting, beinethe shrine of England s illustrious dead.

We saw large steamers of cotton coming in and I do believe the fleecy staple from the Southern States made Miss Dora Smith a little home-sick, for when we got back to the ho tel she sang and played, "When the Fields are White with Cot ton" and "The Sweetest Girl." Miss Alma Lytch turned her scales in music to the "Old North State," and some one's eyes grew misty as we all joined in singing "My Own United States. ' ' Of course we were en joying England, but "East or West Home is best." Miss Min nie carried us to Leamington, where some natural springs ex ist which are believed to possess certain medical properties. 'Kenilworth Castle we need not write about, for Scott, in his ad mirable novel," has rendered the reading world familiar with it. Of course we did not fail to visit Stratford-oa-Avon, the birthplace of Shakespeare. We hastened at once to the old church where On February 1, 1910, the Angel of. Death tn u-.yi. y;. bore away the sweet .spirit of Miss Mary Pearl McKinnon, just in the morning of her bright and promising life. Miss McKinnon was the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Angus McKinnon, of this place. Sh was a little over twenty-four years of age, and is survived by her devoted father and mother, two faithful and loving sisters and two brothers, to all of whom the community's sympathy goes out in this their hour of sore be- reavement. In the presence of a large con course of relatives and friends the interment took place at the fmilv burvincr srround on the afternoon of February 2d. Her pastor, Dr. J. M. Rose, in his very impressive way, comforted the sa&deaed hearts with words of beauty and tenderness". The pall-bearers were Messrs. F. C. McCormick. W. D. Wright, Peter Mcintosh, Mack Camsron, Boy Sutherland and T. T, Cov msrtonl Jr." ' At an early age Miss McKin non united with the Presby :-? . church and has alwavs iiv-i a beautiful and consistent C. : -tian life. Endowed with a rrr remarkably bright and attentive a noble heart, generous and tre. and fired with a praiseworthy am bition, many were drawn to hjr and many bright anticipatkis were centered in "Pearl." In the fall of 1903 she entered the State Normal College, Greens boro, N. C, where she was a. student for twe years and nvsc-a many fast friends. After lesr- ing college she spent one year si home and then entered the fieM of teaching for a short whBa. But just as she was bleoming in to a lovely and useful wcisas- hood a dreadful tubercular trou ble began to prey upon her. AS that love and skill could do wss done for her recovery, but to z& avail. In search of health she wrs taken to Black Mountain Sanita rium, where she remained ovsx two years, during which tirae cbs made a brave and hopefml for life, always looking on tfis brightest side and manifesting: s submission that was beautiful to behold.
