IN MEMORIAM "Leaves have their time to fall, And flowers to wither at ffche north wind’s breath, And st^rs to set,—but all, T$ou hast all seasons for thine own, 0 Death!” The gentle, lovely and lovable spir it of Miss Eulah Baker, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Walter Baker, at Ba ker’s Mill, burst the bands which bound it to its tenement of clay, on the night of January 13th, and mouut ing upon angel’s pinions winged its eternal flight to the God who gave it leaving a pall of deepest gloom over the home which she so beautifully graced and the burden of an irrepa rable sorrow crushing the hearts of a dear old grandmother, and a vacant devoted parents, sisters, brothers and The o BULL’S EYE “Editor and General Manager WILL ROGERS Another ‘Bull* Durham adver tisement by Will Rogers, Zieg fe!d Follies and screen star, and leading American humorist. More coming. Watch lor them. I WANT it distinctly under stood that this is an ad. What’s more, it’s one of my first attempts. Of course, the logical question is what does W ill Rogers know about uniting an ad? My answer is simple—everything! The first thing any ad writer has got to know is how to get paid. I found that out. The first letters of the alphabet 1 learned were P. I. A.—that means Pay in Advance. The real tri^h about why I started writing ads for these people is that I got a family kicking the toes f out of lots of shoes daily and 1 read where my employers sold enough of their stuff so that if the bags were laid end to end they would stretch further than from Oklahoma to Yokohama— and that’s some stretch. So 1 think this looks good to me. That’s why I signed up. I hope it turns into a steady job. At any rate, I’ll have another piece here two weeks from now. P. S. I like to forgot to tell you vihut I -was advertising. It’s ‘Bull’ Durham. (J don’t smoke it myself. I don’t smoke anything, but somebody does or else what happened to ail those bags? of course, but the real reason thousands of he-men swear by good oP Bulr Durnam is because forsneer good ness of flavor, you just can’t tie it.

Having been a victim ot influenza a few years ago, sehhad never re gained her former health, and grad ually hy young and beautiful life ebbed away in spite of every effort of human hands to restore her again to healthful young womanhood. Hers was utmost beautiful character, en dowed with all the nobler attributes which characterize the highest ideals of womanhood. And this combined with beauty of form and features, rendered her not only capable of be injPloved by those who knew her best, but by every one who came in con tact with her attractive personality. To those who ministered unto her in her last illness, it was indeed an in spiration to witness her patient en durance, and peaceful resignation, even though beyond the beauty and lustrous brightness of her her heavenly hued eyes, often blend ing with the softest, sweetest : mile, as if angelic in nature, they could detect the daily imprint of the arch enemy which was gradually “sapping her life. Her devoted mother! watched over her day and night, as she naturally preferred her to all others, and each night as she kissed her good night, she would ask them all to pray for her, that she might be restored health. Slu was a noble hearted Christian, loved by every one who kne wher, and her seemingly un timely going away has cast a gloom over the entire community in which she lived,, where she had hosts of friends and schoolmates. The funeral obsequies were conducted by Rev. G. TS. l'‘0'.vw,f Princeton, pastor of the Princftorr circuit, and was attended by a vast concourse of sorrowing rel atives and friends. The beauty and profuseness of the floi:^g)(.‘ ‘'•-ring'- not only attested in silent eloquence the esteem and love in which she was held, but were also emblematical of the purity aritl sweet ness of her young life, glistening with the dewdrops of life’s ekrljjgmorning sun, only to be plucked and withered before reaching the noonday’s splen dor. Besides her devoted parents, she leaves a twin sister, Miss Eunice Baker, a married sister, Mrs. W. T. Wellons, and two brothers, Malton and Delton Baker, and a dear old grandmother, to whom the sincere sympathies of all'^their friends are extended. She was laid to rest in the family burying ground in Wayne County Tuesday evening, and there above her newly made mound may nature’s sweetest song birds carol their softest melodies, and the gen tlest zephyrs passing breathe a sweet requiem over her sleeping form, as she awaits the coming of the resur rection morn. A place is vacant in our home, G Which never can be filled; A precious one from us is gone A voice we loved is still. MOTHER. ^RE YOl LIKE THESE SHEEP? A (^Easterner was visiting a West ern ranch. A flock of sheep were be ing driven across a field. The visitor noticed that the leader and every other sheep jumped high in the air when it came to a certain point. As there were neither ditch nor fence there, he was puzzled. He asked the ranch owner if he had any idea what caused the sheep to act so foolishly. “Yes,” replied the rancher, “many years ago there was a fence here. It was taken down long before any of these sheep were born. Their ances tors used to jump the fence, and ev er since then the sheep have kept jumping an imaginary fence.” Silly sheep, you say? But I won der if manyjaf us da not shy at imag inary fences.' I’ll confess that some times I nave worried over what I thought was a high barrier, only to find that the barrier existed merely in my imagination. Is it not true that our worst obstacles are those we cre ak1 in our own mind? The man win Fm.- the stuff of success in him isn’. afraid of either real or imaginary obstacles. The failure sees nothing but obstacles and shrinks from at tempting to scale them. Before you mentally laugh at these sheep on the ranch, make sure that you aie not even as they—Forbes.
