Michel Porter, son Of John Porter,
died last Sunday afternoon ct his
fathers home, northeast OF Virginia.
After his summer school was out, he
went to the territory with view OF
teaching school there this winter.
He taught in his home district this
summer. He was employed, while
there to teach an eight month school
at $40 per month, but his health
failing, he had to return home. He
got home one week ago last Friday.
he had a desire to make q teacher
out OF himself and worked to that
end last winter. Miss Lura Park
says he was a good student in school
and was always kind to the teacher.
He worked hard to have his lesson.
He had q desire to learn and not give
his teacher any trouble In school.
Howpleasant 1t would he for q teach.
er In the school room, II all the
pupils were like this young man and
had he lived, he would have shown
his fellow pupils that the road that
leads to usefulness and the good Of
his fellow man Is not in wasting time
in around town at night going into
saloon and pool room, in studying to
help his fellow man. He was a reader
OF his Bible. He took his Bible as his
counsel In all things that he was call
ed to pass through. Let Gods will
be done. He did not have his name
on church roll. ss many do to pass
through the world, but he lived life
that reflected the life Of his Master.
We would that all our young peo-
pie that 20 to school, would devote
their time to their lesson instead OF
running around town at night. The
funeral services were conducted by
Rev. Clapp. Of the Baptist church.
IL a man die, shall he live again"
His body was followed to the Howell
grave yard by large procession,
where it laid to rest. To his memory:
IT'S hard to break the tender cord.
When love has bound the heart.
| IT'S hard to speak the words;
We must forever part.
Dearest loved one we must lay thee
In the peaceful graves embrace;
But thy memory will be cherished
Till we see thy heavenly face.
