She is found in all life's battles Where man needs a woman's care But when victory spoils are divided Does the woman get her share? At her country's call she gives all To fight for a cause that's just Trying to hide the tears that fall For sons slain in battle's dust. Millard C. Davis. "THE HOOVER FARM IN DIXIE" BOARD Dear Herbert -I'll 'write you, We are able to breathe, But underwear's scanty, I hope we won't freeze. Our pants they are faded, And patched at the knee, And socks are holie, As holie can be. The tariff played thunder, And won't work at all, And it's pushed the old farmer Hard upon the wall. The Farm Board they offer, And reads like a dream, They don't use brains But run it with steam. They get up earlyi And go to bed late, They sit at the table, And investigate. They talk about cotton, They talk about corn, And listen for Herbert To,toot up his horn. They met down in Dixie, The land of the free And didn't do nothing, But look at the sea. They looked at the water, And then at the moon, And they took their departure, Before it was noon. , . They hurried back northward, With lightning-like speed, - And say that the farmers Have just what they need. . They say : down in Dixie The people, lack brains They ought to guit cotton, Arid push in grain. By Mrs. J. P. McNeill.

Covington Dec ember 20, 1894, who, with eight children, Jen;,- Ruth, Bennett, Susan, Sara, Johnsie, Eugene and Mildred, and six grandchildren, survive. The funeral service was held in the auditorium of the Ellerbe Baptist church, and was conducted by the pastor, who was assisted by Rev. W. G. Thomas, ' of the Presbyterian hurch; Rev. J. C. Whedbee, of the Methodist church, and Rev. J. M. Bennett. The auditorium was filled to its over-flowing, and the . rostrum was banked with beautiful flowers sent by sympathizing friends, both of which attest the high esteem in which the deceased was held in her community. A Tribute by Her Paster "Just about five and a half years ago it was my privilege to meet this good woman. I went back to my home and told my wife I had met a ; good woman. I have never had an occasion to take back that statement, but my acquaintanceship with her has only served to deepen that conviction. "She was a good woman in her home. No one could visit her home and; leave discontented. The very atmosphere of the home was condu cive to high and holy living. Neat ness was a virtue with her. 'She is not afraid of the snow for her house hold: for all her household are cloth- . ed with scarlet.' "She was a wise counsellor and a good wife. Often I have heard her husband say, 'I talked it over with Alice! and I have no doubt that her judgment has saved him from many a pit-fall. . "She was a good mother. All of her children bear "marks of culture and refinement that true mothers place upon her children. They will indeed rise up and call her blessed. "She was friendly. 'She stretcheth out her hands to the poor.' No one ever went to her for help, and went away empty. "To me the closing scene of her earthly life is glorious. Her com panion was seated by her bed-side,' and having finished .reading a chap ter in the Bible, he said, 'Alice, I want to place one hand on you and one on the Bible, and have a prayer That "was the closing scene. Her eyes closed on this side of the river, but opened on the other side. What a glorious ending." Below is a poem that she delighted to have read: When Death Comes "When life is done and-1 embark Upon that shoreless sea, Let no wild fear assail my heart At all its mystery. But let my simple childish faith Be placed in God's own hand And know my ship will sail somehow Towards a better land. "For He who marks the sparrow's fall Will safely pilot me, He stills the, wind. He calms the waves. As once on Galilee. And wellI know that through the hour Of life's most solemn . night, He'll go with me from light to dark -And -then from dark to light."
