NV Auntie's Death.

On Thursdays bright and sunny eve
a telegram sad did we receive,
That auntie dear had passed to rest,
After all present had done their best,
Sad to relate, but hard to believe,
While only God from sorrow can relieve
Three children left to mourn her loss,
Though God alone can count the cost;
True to her children and many friends,
From whom nbw their sympathy depends,
Though now she lies beneath the sod,
A loss to the world but gain for God,
She had faith in the blessed Christ,
Who His life for US he sacrificed,
Though upon the cross He was crucifed,
Yet daily by the world, BE is now denied
Like auntie dear some day we all,
From Gods death Angel will have call,
Prepared or not, obey we must,
Which we easily can if in God we trust.

easily. Educated at Clemson, he under

he originated combination of fertilizers
containing the elements that his land
lacked and thirsted for. And the grateful
fields have produced abundant fruitage

And this emphasizes the positions of this
paper that Clemson ought to be made an
agricultural rather than mechanical COL

should be experiment farms under super
