God in his Infinite Wisdom called him from this world of pain and suffering, we trust tc a fairer relm where no partings or heartaches can ever enter, Mr. Boggs 44 years 4 months and seven days old, ind leaves a heart broken young wife and four small children an aged mother three brothers and two sisters besides a large number of other relatives and friends to mourn the loss of a loved one, "Dock” as he was called by his friends was a kind and loving husband and fond devoted, father and son and was liked and respected by all who knew him. He was a man that had many friends and always had a kind word for each and eyeiy one. He will be missed by all. But oh the lonely home and vacant chair that the youn.^ wife realizes must be hers. The blow of his death so sudden was almost more than she could bear. Her heart bleeds at the thoughts of her dear one gone forever from her side. No comforting words can stay her grief or ease the sorrow crushed heart. Time alone can heal the wounds made by death. May God keep her to bear her sorrow and take care of the fatherless little ones, and may God comfort the ?ged mother and other relatives, and when the summons come may they all meet and form and unbroken circle around God^s Throne. Now all is dark within their home Lonely their hearts and sad to-day For the one they loved so dearly Has forever passed aw^ay. Oh light be the sod That hides thee from us in the heaven of God, Thy spirit awaits to welcome us home In a world without death where Pain carnot come.

Glasses made and fitted by Dr RAPPORT will relieve both eye strain and headache. Call to see Dr. Kapport at the Mebane House, Tuesday, June 16th. Health Notes For Mebane, Good air is good medicine for all of us, all ol the time. Sleep in the air, keep the windows open. It is a dirty place that has a visitation of flies. Clean the barns out once a week and scatter the manure out in the field where the sun can kill the fly eggs. The battle cry in the fight against disease is (cleanliness,) clean things are safe. Dirty things are dangerous. Take a bath every day. A cold sponge bath every morning is excellent. Let every one sleep in a bed alone, and not moro than two in one room. The man who eats right, breathes right, and exercises right is generally a pretty husky sort of an individual. Keep the mouth clean, give the children a tooth brush and some tooth powder and learn them t^» use there.

The Burlington Post- Master (lets Out. RESIGNATION TO TAKE EFFEGT JONE15. The resignation of Findlay WMlliam- son as postmaster at Burlington has been tendered to the postmaster general and accepted, effective June 15. Major^Stedman called on First Assistant Postmaster General Roper Friday and laid Mr. Williamson’s resignation on his desk. The department accepted the resignation and asked the fifth district congressman to recommend a successor not later than June 15. Repre sentative Stedman announced that he would comply with the request and asked that it be published in the Daily News that all who desired to apply for the place send in their petitions before the middle of this month. It is believed here thatjO. F. Crowson will be named as Mr. Williamson’s suc cessor. Mr. Crowson has devoted much time and money to the cause of Demo cracy. The postoffice department offi cials were anxious that he be given the Burlington postmastership when Mr. Williamson was named. Not that they had anything against the present post master, but, they thought Crowso.i needed the job and that it would be a just reward tor his services to the partj'. At that time Postmaster Gen- ,000 monument was unveiled atl^™' Burleson and his assistant. IMr. Roper, asked Major Stedman as a personal favor to them to withdraw his recommendation for Mr. Williamson and allow Crowson to be named. In view of these facts it is thought that the Burlingtoii oditor has an excellent chance of landing the plum at this time.
