MRS. DAVIS.
Nfs. Davis is II woman OF strong and
attractive personality. When cues non
ed as to her work yesterday, she said:
l am one of the original founders OF
the order. 1t was founded fourteen
years ago BY ten women. and has since
spread into all the countries OF the
world. have been in official commun-
lcAtion with every country but Thibet
me work is quiet one; 1t never makes
much noise has no great national or
international convention, but within
lnese fourteen years, approximately
100000 badges of the order have been
sent out from headquarters.
AIM OF THE ORDER.
The aim of the order primarily is not
lhilanthropic. but "a deepening of spir-
itual life. and Il development of
Christly character. This development
necessarily tends To greater activity
along all philanthropic lines. ana the
members of the order are engaged in
every line OF philanthropic service in
the church ana out OF it.
1t is absolutely an indenomina tlonal
order. Members of all churches belong
to ii.
1t is, perhaps. the one great illus
tratlon of the possibilities of the fed
Grafton of the Church, because people
Of all doctrinal beliefs can unite with
out conflicting and without discussion
on the broad and simple basis of love
of Christ and service to the many
The order teaches absolute loyalty 10
that branch of Church to which its
members belong, and circles organized
in churches are under the direct guild
nnce and control OF their pastors or rec
tors But this never proves hndrance
to loving co-operat ion in service to that
spiritual unity which. while II allows
perfect freedom of individual opinion
in regard to doctrinal points, yet gladly
seeks that higher plane of personal
love for the personal Christ and union
or service in ministering to the needs
spiritual and temporal of all the chill
dren OF God"
Mrs. Davis went on to say tina,
| growth of the order has been most
miraculous. She. as corresponding sec
rotary, has received as many as 30 .OOC
letters in one year, and she averages In
the neighborhood of 1000 letters n
month. or the beautiful work being
done In Virginia, and particularly in
Norfolk. Mrs. Davis spoke in the high
est praise.

Two Deaths in a Week.

The many friends of Mr.. and
Mrs. j. Elmer Johnston, who
little more than a year ago sold
their farm in the Cove and NOV
ed to Iowa, will be panied to
learn that deep sorrow has delug-
ed their home during the past
week.
Last Friday a telegram was
received here stating that Ern-
est, their second son, five years
of age, had died that day, and
this week, another telegram was
received saying that their young
est son, Howard, about two years
of age, had died on Tuesday of
this week.
From a letter received in the
meantime, it is believed that
diphtheria was the cause.
Warrie, a brother of Elmer,
left the cove on election day to
visit them; and it is probable
that he reached there just in
time to share in the great sorrow.
The family have the sincerest
sympathy of their friends here.

DAVID E. LITTLE.
''rein. -


A little calculation shows that
during that time he has crossed
the Cove mountain over $500
times, that he has driven in
round numbers, $4,000 miles,
that he has lived in the hack and
on the road nearly 5000 days of
ten hours each.
Had it been possible to drive
straight ahead, that many miles
would have taken him four times
around the globe in this latitude,
or he could have driven across
every country on the face of the
globe.
In crossing the Cove mountain
he was a quarter of a mile nearer
the sky when at the top
than at Loudon or McConnells-
burg. He made the ascent
twice aday; hence if the altitude
he overcame during that time
was put into miles and Davy
could have kept on going up, he
would now be nearly 2500 miles
away from earth and it's trou-
bles.
During the fifteen years he
carried over $4,000 passengers,
among them some of the notable
men of the country-the editor OF
the News on several occasions.
There is little to break the mo
notony of the drive-one way
across the mountain usually being
by night.
Only on two occasions did any
one threaten the safety of the
driver or his freight. Some
twelve years ago, passenger
boarded the hack at McConnells
burg, and on his way across the
mountain informed Davie that he
would examine the contents o.
the mail bags. Davie put on
bold front, and landed the mai
safe.
No more obliging driver wa'
ever on the road than Davy, bu
his private business interests de
mands his personal attention.
