THE SHELTER TO BE SOLD
Location of the Shelter of the Silver Cross
on wrightsville Beach to be Charged
appointment of a Committee to Solicit
Members for the Wilmington Library
Association

The ladies of the ministering circle of
the Kings Daughters are now consider
ing the ACCESSIBILITY of selling the pres
ent Shelter Of the Silver Cross on
Wrigtsville beach and purchasing a site
and erect a similar building further down
the beach. The reason this course is to
be pursued will be plain to everyone
when it is understood that the present
shelter is situated in one of the most
fashionable localities on the beach, and,
of course, the inmates, who are COM
posed of the poor of our community, do
not feel entirely at liberty as they would
if the shelter were located somewhere
else.
The ladies nave received several offers
for the property, and will make the sale
shortly if it does not necessitate a sac
rifice.
The Messenger several days ago stated
tina the board of directors of the Will
mington Library Association had offered
the ministering circle a certain percent
age of every membership fee to the
library obtained by the circle, and that
this offer had been accepted and a COM
mittee to- solicit new members would
soon be appointed.
The president, Mrs. C. H. King, has ap-
pointed to compose such a committee the
following ladies: Mrs. c.. E. Borden,
Mrs. Geo. p. Cotchett, Mrs. Washington
Catlett, Mrs. T. E. Sprunt, Mrs. John A.
Arringdale, Mrs. W.. H. Northrop, Mrs.
W.. A. Dick, Mrs. Wallace Carmichael,
Mrs. II. c. Mcqueen, Mrs. w. E. Storm,
Mrs. Oscar p. Byerly, Miss Lizzie Peck,
Miss Alice Green, Miss Margaret Kings
bury, Miss Stella Thompson, Miss Sue
Cumming, Miss Carrie Myers and Miss
Annie Blount DeRosset.
The committee will meet at 3:45 o'clock
tomorrow afternoon at the Young Mems
Christian Association to consult with
Mr.. T. G. Diggs, general secretary of the
association, about their proposed work.

Death of Mrs. Florence Grier Barrentin,

Mrs. Florence Grier Barentine, wife
of Mr.. JIG .Barentine, passed quietly
perfectly resigned, to her great reward
last night, at the family residence, No.
209 North Second street.
For two long years Mrs. Barentine
had been an invalid, but with true
Christian fortitude, symbolic of her
loving disposition, gentle nature and
pure religious character, She bore her
sufferings. n last evening, when at
ten minutes past the eighth hour the
summons came for her to leave his
earth and depart for a time from loved
ones she nObly responded, and left
forever the world, in which before her
sickness she abored 50 ardently and
charitably in His name. The deceased
was a devoted wife and a conscientious
close church attendant.
She was a daughter of Mrs. NJ. A.
Lamb, of this city, and was thirty
nine years of age.
The funeral services will b. conduct

Deputy Sheriff Ed. Bryan, colored,
had considerable difficulty in carrying
Willie Freeman, also colored, to Jail
yesterday afternoon.
Freeman had been adju1ged guilty Of
disorderly conduct in Justice Fowler's
court and Deputy Bryan was carrying
him to Jail, and when the corner of
Third and Princess streets was reached
Freeman decided that the jail was no
place for him and commenced to scrap
with Deputy Bryan
However, after about a few minutes
tussle and after Policeman J. W. Smith

just the right place for him

IRONICAL IFS,

If a man has nothing to say he has a
splendid opportunity not to talk.
If love is weakness it manages to
make a pretty strong bluff at times.
If a nan borroWs trouble he must ex-
pect to pay the highest rates of interest.
If there is such a thing as a spoiled
child it always belongs to q neighbor.
If we had no troubles but real ones
this wouldn't be such a troublesome old
world.
If there is no water on the moon 1t
has a good excuse for getting full oc-
~casionally.
If a man ticks the hand that smote
him it's because he can't smite the hand
that licked him.
If people were compelled to express
all their thoughts in words or keep
quiet conversation would soon become
a lost art.-Chicago Record.

WHY?

Why isn't a medical glass a sanitary
measure?
Why isn't the bookkeper's lunch the
bite OF an adder?
Why shouldn't the sailors accounts
be cast up by the sea?
Why shouldn't the man who is a
rake succeed as a gardner?
Why does a man always promise to
be good when he's too sick to be bad:
Why don't some bad debt agency
undertake to collect the living the
world owes a man?
Why does the man that is always
blowing always find it difficult to raise
the wind?

times, no matter in what respect. The

Several young gentlemen propose
