J. A. Morals, Caroleen. n. C-Dear
Junior: Here comes another fellow from
the old Tar Heel state. the best state
in the union. Certainly some OF the girls

pretty headstrong and If some of them
undertake to prove otherwise we shall
have a glorious time using our pens. We
are planning for a picnic the Fourth Of
July and are expecting very delightful
time. The place that has been selected
is a very beautiful one In a small wood
land known "Taylors park" about
the center of which is a large cool
spring surrounded by poplars and many
other kinds Of trees, which make the
park pleasant and shady. ] would give

Friend-Dear Junior; I want to ask
Aunt Susie for little space while I com
municate to you the death of orr IittIa
shut-in friend. Dock Cochran. of Fair
burn, Ca, whom you all know and for
whom, no doubt, all felt sorry He died
on the night Of June A. after lingering
lor some weeks and being confined t.
his bed almost three months with con
sumption. His suffering during the last
weeks of his life and near the closing
scene We're heart-rending to loved ones
watching by his bedside and who were
powerless to give relief. 1t seems to us
as we review his short life of almost
twenty-five years that there was enough
OF SUFFERING III so short a time since he
was deprived of SO many pleasures that
others OF us enjoy, and that we would
have had his last hours calm and peace
ful, free from pain, but we do not doubt
cur Fathers wisdom and love; we do not
tear His chaStenlng rod, though we dread
the trial. and we bow our heads in hum
bic submission and say, Thy will be
done" We know that it is all right now;
he Is with our dear Savior, who loves us
ali so. and with his mother who died
some years ago, and for his sake we could
not IA q
