A BWTWOAY PARTY. tittle MIm Mary Lee Entertains Her Littl* Friend*. Bensop, Apr. 3.?One of the most j.leasant and enjoyable features of early spring, for the little folks, was a birthday party, given by little Miss Mary Lee, April 1st, from 3 until 5:30, P. If., at the hospitable home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. James F. Lee. The many little guests were received at the front entrance, by little Miss Wilhelmlna, the beautiful dark-eyed daughter of Dr. and Mrs. H. H. Utley; at the east entrance by little Miss Luclle, the fair daughter of Mr. and Mrs Gaston Lee, and ushered into the parlor and hall, where the interest ing game of drop-the-h&ndkerchief was played until every guest had arrived. Many other games were greatly enjoyed. Soon the many fair little guests were ushered into the beautifully decorated dining-room, where the shades were lowered just enough to give a lovely twilight ef fect, the color scheme being pink, white and green. In the center of the table was a superb boquet of ferns and snow-balls around which were eleven pretty little pink and white burning candles?It was little Mary's eleventh birthday. At each corner of the table was rosetteB of pink ribbon with streamer reaching the center. The guests were serv ed with delicious refreshments and fruits, by Misses Mary Ryals and Willie Duncan. Soon they were very pleasantly entertained by some very pretty vocal selections, by Misses Mary Lee, Wilhelmina Ut ley and Alta Boon. Also many love ly selections, both instrumental and vocal, by Misses Ryals and Duncan. Those present were: Wilhelmina Ut ley, Ethel Hall, Irene McLamb, Al ta Boon, Mildred Parrish, Katie Hodges, Pansy McLamb, Pauline Britt, Flora Canaday, Luclle Lee, Nellie Hudson, Sarah Turlington, El sie Morgan, Verl Johnson, Alma Weeks, Gertrude Surles, Claudle Wood, Maud Benson, Alta Benson and Cleo Porter. Two Deaths in Oneals. We are sorry to note the death of Mrs. Fernie Hocutt, which occur red a few days ago. She was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Irvln Wall, of South Carolina. She died Monday, March 20, 1911, and was buried, Tuesday afternoon, at Cor inth. We sympathize with the be reaved family. The death angel visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. Z. R. Hocutt, of near Wendell, ? last Friday night, about 6:30 o'clock and took from thein their dear beloved mother, Mrs. Nancy B. Edwards. She had been sick only a few days. She was about KU years old. She was a good wo p,an. She united with the Mission ary church many years back, and lHed a happy Christian life. The remains were laid to rest Saturday afternoon in the old family burying ground. She leaves six children? two sons and four daughters, 31 grand children and one great grand son to mourn their loss. Her sons are Mr. John Edwards, an<i M. Char lie Edwards, of Wakefield, N. C. The daughters are Mrs. John Pulley, Mrs. Z. R. Hocutt, Mrs. Alonzo Creech, of Wakefield, N. C., Mrs. R. L. Hocutt, of Archer, N. C. She leaves a host of relatives and friends to mourn their loss, and will be greatly missed by all who knew her. All that kind friends, children, grand children and physicians could do, could not stay the icy hand of death. There is a vacant seat in that home that can never be filled no more. We believe and truly hope that she is gene to rest. We know we can never see her here on earth no more, but we truly hope to meet her in heaven. Thou art gone, our precious darling, Never more canst thou return; Thou shall sleep a peaceful slumber, Till thy Resurrection Morn. For the precious promise, Reaches to the depths of human woe. That however deep the waters, They shall never overflow. It may seem to our aching, yearn ing hearts, that the ones we love most are taken. Let us also feel that God loves them more. A Granddaughter, V. H. Mar. 29, 1911. When a medicine must be given to young children it should be Pleasant to take. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is made from loaf sugar, and the roots used in its preparation give it a flavor similar to maple syrup, making it pleasant to take. It has no superior for folds, croup and whooping cough. For sale by All Dealers. "It was very romantic," says the friend. "He proposed to her in the automobile." "Yes?" we murmur, encouragingly. "And she accepted him In the hospital."-?Life. i Resolution* of Rnnct Whereas it has pleased God, In His wise Providence to take from our midst our brother and faithful Secretary, Brother C. L Eason, who was faithful to our Sunday School and Church for many years. Who al ways lived a consecrated Christian Life, and was ever ready to meet the call of his Maker, therefore be it, Resolved 1. That in behalf of the Sunday School of the Sanith field Methodist Church, we extend our sympathy to the bereaved fam ily. 2. That these resolutions be spread on the minutes of our Sun day School, a copy be sent to the family and one to The Raleigh Chris tian Advocate. W. S. STEVENS, J. D. BOYETTE, O. R. RAND. H. P. STEVENS, Committee. In Memory of Maude. Sad indeed was the Iiome or Mr. Calvin C. Strickland made last Sat urday, March he 25th, just as the sun was sinking in the far golden west, and not only that home, but the whole surrounding community, when the sad news came to us that Maude was dead. Maude was taken a little more than a week before her death with some dreadful dis ease which gave her much pain. All was done that medical atten tion and care of skillful physicians could do. All was done that a lov ing and sorrowing mother could do. All was done that a kind and devot ed father and anxious brothers and sisters and friends could do; but all this could not keep her here any longer, for God knew that little Maude had suffered long enough. So God sent the death angel to bear i her on snowy wings to that home, ' where no pain is known. Maude was i only a small child of the tender age of 7 years and 4 months, but had i won the hearts of many friends, both old and young, whom she will be greatly missed by. Sad indeed does it seem for her to be taken away from us at this tender age, but God knoweth best. The funeral was preached by Rev. Mr. Farrell, of Wakefield, in a very impressive manner on Monday af ternoon, after which the remains was laid to rest in the family burying ground, where a large concourse of relatives, friends and school mates had gathered to pay their last tri bute of respect to dear little Maude. Weep not fond parents, loving bro thers and sisters, for all i& well in sight of God, who knoweth and do eth all things best. Remember that Christ said: "A little child shall lead them.'' Again he said: "For bid them not for such are the king dom of heaven." Maude has only passed over the dark river of death and paid the debt that we owe and must pay soon er or later. We pray God's richest blessings upon the bereaved and broken heart ed family, that they may all live a life that some sweet day they may meet on that bright celestial shore, where no good-bye is said and part ings never come. A precious one from us is gone, A voice we loved is still, A i lace is vacant in that home, That never can be filled. J. P. E. A Self-Named Man. The Speaker's full name is James Beauchamp Clark. When he went out into the world, he discovered that Clark was the sixth most com mon name in America, and that James was nearly as prevalent as John or the measles. James B. also was curiously numerous, and James B. Clark far from unusual. In the young man's town was a man of that name who used to get his let ters and throw them away. This was very annoying. So the future states man dropped James and became Beauchamp Clark. Beauchamp is a well-known name out West. They pro nounce it Beecham, like that of the Englishman who makes pills. Now, one of the Incoming Speaker's hobbies is accurate expression, and it Irritated him to be called Beech am, when he should have been call ed Boahom, with the accent on the shorn. Painstaking investigation fin ally convinced him that only a Frenchman could eay it properly, rnyway, so he made up his mind to drop one of the syllables, and after due consideration he picked Beau as the one to go. Since then he has been plain Champ Clark, and is so designated almost invariably. We hear of Representative Underwood, Congressman Payne, el al., but nev er of Representative or Congressman Clark. It is always Champ Clark, as if hyphenated, with accent on the Clark.?Harper's Weekly. "Never stretch the truth," cau tioned the Wise Guy.

Wadesboro, March 24.? Miss Grace Baucom, age 17 and Miss Wilma Davis, aged 21 were burned to death when a lamp exploded in the home of Mr. H. L. Baucom, of Olive Branch, in Union County last night, according to information received here this morning. Miss Baucom is the daughter of Mr. H. L. Baucum, a farmer of Un ion county and Miss Davis is a daughter of Rev. C. L. Davis, a well known clergyman. Women Defend Blockaders. Verily the path of a moonshine hunting revenue officer is a thorny one at best, but usually he can count on having nothing more for midable to face than the sullen an ger of men. An exception occurred n Kentucky last week where ttiree ?fficers were put to rout by three vomen. The officers had gone Into he lit >untains to arrest a moonshin er rnd their man had quietly sur rendered and agreed to accompany hem. Before they had emerged rom the sloj es, however, they were net by their prisoner's mother and wo sisters, who immediately opened 'ire at short range. One of the of 'icers fell mortally wounded, anoth ?r was badly hurt, and the third look to his heels. The warlike la lies resumed possession of their rel itive and returned home in triumph. As this occurred in Kentucky, the emission of any account of the fire being returned is not surprising. It was doubtless somewhat annoying to the officers to be attacked, but their innoyance did not cause them to lose their manners. Had their ad veisaries been men, there would doubtless have ensued a pretty fight. Recognizing the impossibility of shooiing at women, the representa tives of the government seem meek ly to have accepted what was given them without protest. The revenue foilis will have to devise some new means of breaking up the stills if the mountain women take arms in ai>y considerable numbers in defense of the practice.?Charlotte Observer. Kicked By a Mad Horse. Samuel Birch, of Beetown, Wis., had a most narrow escape from los ing his leg, as no doctor could heal the frightful sore that developed, but at last Bucklen's Arnica Salve cur ed it completely.

Smithfield People Give Credit Where Credit Is Due. People of Smihtfield, who suffer with sick kidneys and bad backs want a kidney remedy that can be depended upon. The best is Doan's Kidney Pills, a medicine for the kid neys only, made from pure roots and herbs, and the only one that is back ed by cures in Smithfield. Here's Smithfield testimony: Mrs. S. T. Coats, Hudson St., Smithfield, N. C., says: "For some time I suffered from disordered kid neys. I had dull, grinding backache and the pains across my loins were hard to bear. I did not rest well and when I got up in the morning, it was all I could do to move around. The use of one box of Doan's Kidney Pills, obtained at Hood Bros.' Drug Store, relieved me and I continued taking this remedy until my kidneys were normal, and the various symptoms of my trouble had disappeared." (Statement given January 29, 1908.) The Benefit Lasted. On November 30th, 1910, Mrs. Coats said: "I have no reason to chang<; my opinion of Doan's Kid ney Pills. The results of their use havo been permanent. I am now enjoying good health." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, New York, sole agents for the Un ited States. Remember the name?Doan's?and talc no other.
