MRS. MATTIE ANTHONY.

ac-
Becember 25, 1850 February 21, 1907
On the evening of February 21st,
, Mrs. Mattie Anthony passed from
I the scenes of earth to heaven's eter
: mil health and never withering llow
; era. For many months she had been
a great sufferer and death was a
gracious deliverance for her.
Born on the 25th of December,
1850, she was heaven's Christmas
; gift to one of North Carolina's royal
homes in the days of Southern chiv
alry and glory. And always she has
kept heaven's brightness in the
home she graced.
j In her early girlhood she gave her
! heart to God and united with the
1 Scotland Neck Baptist church, being
! one of the charter members. And
! through all the years of trial and
! struggle she was one of the unfalter
i ing and faithful. Her motto was to
i serve her Lord anywhere, every
where and in every way possible,
i Her life, so sweet, so gentle, so faith
, ful, so hopeful and so saintly, was a
i constant inspiration to her pastor, to
j her brethren and sisters, to every
j one. Her faith was as simple
1 and unwavering as that of a little
( child, and her modest and unassum
! ing co-operation in the work was a
power none can measure.
Her trained mind and loving heart
so full of the precious truths of
God's Book were the reservoir where
flowed many a gracious stream of

(il'AUANTEF. ; would grieve when we see the vacant
EVEMY AC- place, but we must not be selfish.
In the Sunday-school of heaven she
is so much happier.
Her life has not been without its
shadows and its tears. She had her
sorrows and nights of gloom. But
there never came an hour of trial
when God was not with His child and
whprf slip emilrl Tint sav "T Ipft it all

: these shadows left a brighter sky
! yind t he storms left her more firmly
' Upon the Rock.
She was married to Captain W. II.
; Anthony February 22, 1871, and bore
1 to him two sons and one daughter.
About two and a half years ago con
i sumption laid its bony hand upon
nor companion and brought him to
the grave. For many months he
lingered the helpless victim of the
monster disease, and with a wife's
' holiest devotion she kept vigil by his
bedside. It was beautiful to behold
; that devotion. But while she was
sweetening his closing days, that
! same disease was threatening the
! vitals of her life, and when he was
! gone made haste to bring her to the
! end. For more than a year her
; friends realized that she was the vic-
tim of the terrible disease and
watched with sadness the approach
ing end. Loved ones vied with each
1 other in their efforts to gladden the
j few days yet left to her.
And these proved to be the most
beautiful and triumphant hours of
her life. There was no murmur, no
fear, no despondence, just waiting
, waiting for a summons she knew
1 would come, waiting for the tri
: umphant entrance, waiting for the
I unspeakable deliverance. It did one
; good to hear her talk of heaven and
; of eternal rest. She had gotten
: glimpses of glory. She passed away
like the flight of the bird gone to a
i better land.
i Ah yes, we live in unsounded mys
! tery. We wonder why the rainbow
j spans the clouds with passing beauty
I and is no more; we wonder why the
I flowers bloom and gladden but to
! fade; we wonder why the stars, so
j radiant and beautiful must cease to
j shine; we wonder why the pleasing
I forms of dearest loved ones are
; presented to us for so brief a season
; and then are taken away leaving our
j affections to waste themselves over
vacant chairs and treasured relics.
Yes, we wonder why this, our sister,
so good, so kind, so helpful, so heav
enly was taken away, when we need
her so much.
Ah, the parting teaches us a prec
ious truth, we are born for a higher
destiny. The rainbow never fades
around the throne of God and in the
Paradise above there are no wither
ing flowers. Stars will twinkle in
endless beauty up there, and our
loved ones, passing away like dew
drops will remain with us for
ever. We are heaven-bound and
s'ster Anthony is not dead but gone
before.
She left four brothers three sisters,
two sons, one daughter and a host of
loved ones and kindred. May they
.catch her spirit, love her Lord and
meet her on the other shore.
On the eveninjr of the 22nd she
was laid to rest in the Baptist Cer.ie

Reported to The Commonwealtn.
At the home of Mrs. E. E. Hilliard,
on Saturday afternoon, February
the twenty third, the members of
the Round Table Club assembled.
Miss Leach was our genial hostess.
Having begun the study of Shakes
peare at our previous meeting, The
Merchant of Venice claimed our at
tention at this time.
Very instructive arid entertaining
was Mrs. W. R. Bond's paper, "The
Classification and Construction of
'Merchant of Venice'," and the
"Character Sketch of Portia," read
by Miss Mary Herbert Smith, was
received with eager interest by
all.
Our president, Miss Addie Smith,
called upon all members of the club
for quotations from "Merchant of
Venice."
A committee was appointed by the
president, consisting of Mrs. G. S.
White, Miss Annie Baker and Mrs.
A. C. Livermon, to suggest a course
of study for thefollowing year, and
report same at the next meeting.
The invited guests present were
Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Hilliard, Mrs. J.
H. Lawrence, Mrs. G. T. Lumpkin,
Miss Alice Ferrell, Mrs. J. B. Brew
er, oi ruiaski, va.. ana Mrs.

Dear Sir: We asked City Drug Co.,
Crystal Springs, Miss., to sell Devoe.
They wanted to know, of their own
knowledge, how it compared with
another paint they knew all about
it was sold right there, and consider
ed good.
They painted the house of W. is.
McCluney two coats on purpose to
test the two paints against one-an-other;
one coat Devoe 6 gallons; the
other coat that other paint 10 gal
lons. Difference $20; $7 for paint,
$13 for labor.
That other paint is made in New
Orleans; is pure; is considered an
excellentaint, and has"a gooddeal
of local goodwill.
But the standard of pamt has been
low all through the southwest. That
paint is thin; it is; you see, six-tenths
of a paint. Devoe saves $20 over
it on half a small job.
It is a case of local best compared
with actual best.
