In Memory of Walter II. Ter
rier Who Died January
10. 1904.

"All is dark within that dwelling;
Lonely are their hearts to-day;
For the one they loved SO dearly
Has forever passed away"
Kind remembrance of a loved one,
Who has passed on before.
And is o among the angels
On that bright and happy shore.
Oh! how sad are you,b beloved ones,
Since your darling left your side,
And he crossed with the old boatman
To the shores on yonder side.
Little did you dream Of parting
When the grim Destroyer came
And carried him forever out of your sight
Into the realms of eternal light.
You saw not the boatman cold and pale !;
Or caught a CLEAN of the snowy sail.
You heard not the dip of the golden oar,
Or saw the phantom. bark as it neared
the shore.
You saw him not with the grim old
boatman
EAS no CAUClOo GuO pAHhuOaAA 10 ~
But the angels above were reckoning to
him,
And from you he had to part.
You saw not the bark as it left the shore /;
His LOVING face you did not see any more.
In vain loving voices called him back to
their side
Their voices were drowned in the rush
ing tide,
But he has gone to dwellin Hand of love
With the Savior and angels up above,
Where he'll know no sorrow and feel no
pain,
Or see the grim visage of Death again.
And could his bright look from heaven
above,
He'd whisper in &C, ents OF tenderest
love-
sweep not. 1 Am happy. oh hasten to m
And we'll dwell with the Father eiern-
allyw
So live, beloved ones, only hoping,
That when earthly tasks are DER,
Your darling one you'll meet in heaven,
Where parting is 10 more.
A FRIEND.

Imperfect Digestion

Means less nutrition and in consequence
less vitality. When the liver fails to
secrete bile, the blood becomes loaded
with bilious properties, the digestion
becomes impaired and the bowels con-
situated. Herbine will rectify this; it
gives tom to the stomach, liver and
kidneys, strengthens the appetite,
clears and improves the complexion, in
fuses new life and vigor to the whole
system. so cehts a bottle at Godard's.

FIRE IN THE NORMAL COLLEGE.

Wednesday morning, 2lst, there
was adisastrous fire in the State Nor
NAL College at Greensboro. Kitchen
and dining room and large dormito1y
for girls were destroyed. Following Is
a partial account given out on the day
of the fire:
"The fire was discovered by the
Waterman at O'Clock breaking
through the roof Of the kitchen. With
rare presence of mind ne went up and
down the building having the girls
awakened and a corps of assistants put
to work at rescue, before giving gen
eral alarm. By this means there was
no panic, every lady preserving won
derful presence OF mind.
"The alarm was sounded at 4 20 and
the fire companies made quick work
getting there, mile from quarters. 1t
was impossible to do more than save
the other buildings.
"There were several hair breadth es-
capes and much excitement among the
girls, but at no time anything ap-
preaching a panic. Two girls in the
fourth story who had been overlooked,
were awakened just as the flares be-
gan to eat their beds, aud realizing
their situation, they rushed on their
rescuer, knocking him do.n, and we're
just in the act OF leaping from win
dow when he pulled them back, and
carried both to the first landing, when
an aid succeeded in getting them safe
ly to the ground.
"Wlth this exception there was no
unusual occurrence. A great many
trunks were lost. Every one in 70
rooms, containing two each, on the
third and fourth floors we're burned
All others were saved. Much clothing
was hanging in wardrobes and some OF
the trunks containing money, though
in almost all cases the girls took their
purses, even when they left trunks
The largest amount lost yet known
was sixty dollars by one and forty by
another. These were rare exceptions.
One hundred and twenty-five girls lost
all their clothing.
cit was wierd sight at five O'Clock
with five hundred girls, many of them
trembling with cold lightly clad, scat
tered over the trunk and furniture
strewn lawn, while the fire was roaring
in the buildings containing many of
their precious belongings. But soon
everything was IN order, under the
wonderful system organized by the
managers OF the college.
"The street car company rendered
the free use OF cars, and hotels gave
invitations to breakfast and every girl
came down for breakfast. A meeting
was held at ten o'clock and invitations
from homes IN the city poured in,
enough to accommodate twice the
number Of those burned out"

Correspondence to The Commonwealth.
Otter Greek, Fla, Jan. 20, 1904.
Mr.. Editor Il have just returned
from, Gainesville, Fla, to which place
! had been to help celebrate Lees
birthday for 1901. and to witness the
unwilling of the handsome memorial
dedicated to the brave lads who fell in
battle, and presented to Stonewall
Camp United Confederate Veterans.
1t was one OF the most memora BILE
days il the history Of my life, and its
memories viii live long in the minds
of the five thousand people who assem-
hled there ct the invitation OF Kirby
Smith Chapter United Daughters of
the Confederacy to commemorate the
occasion with appropriate ceremonies
Not only the veterans Of Florida turned
cut to witness the unve,ling of che
handsome monument. but nearly ev-
cry Southern State wa. represented TO
do honor to an occasion deserving of
honor.
Tuesday was indeed big day fer
Gainesville. II was day consacrated
and held rs sacred aIEost as the Sab
bath. The exercises were carried
through without a hitch or n1'shap,
and every body was happy. The gray
haired veterans Of both armies, Con-
1ederate and Union, stood side By side
in brotbe:ly love, and listened to elo-
Guent words from the lips of Southern
men. 1t was regular love feast ie-
tween the veterans OF the blue and the
gray. The soldier of the South shook
hands and mingled with his Northern
brother, once his foe but now his fell
low countryman and friend.
The address Of Welcome was delivered
by Judge IEoratio Davis, commandment
Stonewall Camp T. ". Hon. W. l..
Palmer, CT Orlando, and Gen. Bulluck,
OF Ocala, Fla, were the principal
speakers.
The monument stands 50 feet in
height. It Is made fr5m Georgia
granite, handsomely carved, and is
mounted with a six-foot bronze figure,
a Confederate soldier at parade rest,
or the face as the soldier stands, "In
memory of the Confederate dead, 1861

On the other side are these words:
''They fell for us, and for them should
iali
The tears OF nations grief;
They counted the cost, and in defense
OF right
They paid tbs martyrs price,"
When the ceremonies had been con-
Guided at the court house yard, every
body was invited to Oak Hall Lot,
where barbecue and trout cho1der was
served. 1t was a day which will be
long remembered, and that elegant
shaft will stand as a memento to the
occasion. Yours truly,
