alton of the shining example and hi.
lofty standards must ever animate
his successors.
TO many corporations conductin.
the commerce of the country as well
as the Southern Railway, did Mr..
Spencer render invaluable service and
all of them will share In our sense of
Loss and personal grief. As their
chosen spokesman In the tremendous
agitation eliminating In the congre-
cation action of 1906, his mastery of
his subject, his dignity of bearing
and his integrity of characted com
mend the confidence and approval of
the vast interests whose constitution
al rights it became his duty to as
sert and to protect. To the great
publlc-not less tina nto the CONNER
clal interest did he recognize his OBJ
legation. how well he conceived,
how admirably he performed that
duty, was indicated in the last of his
public addresses, his last message to
his friends In the South, delivered at
Montgomery, Ala, on October 25th,
1906, an address which deserves wide
circulation and close consideration,
not only In his own South that he.
loved SC well, but throughout the
whole country which he had learned
to know far better than most of Its
citizens wherever born. His chosen
career has closed but the wisdom and
and the virtue that ch~aacterized
that career will abide as long as
there shall be a regard for duty
bravely done and for high service gal
rendered.
"To his family we extend our deep
and most respectful sympathy and
assurance that for them, as we'll
as for his associates, honor and hap
piness will ever result from their re-
latlon to Samuel Spencer, that just
and upright man and officer"

combs has died a natural death.
Woman no longer desires to make
her couture the display ground for

The reintroduction of the empire
model Of h~airdressing has opened the
way for the quaint high comb Of the

The combs r usually made OF
tortoise shell, curio1sly fashioned,
and ar~tistically ornamented with gold
and jewels.
All of~these combs are costly, but
to meet the popular demand there
are excellent limitations to be had at
a moderate price.
A favorite style for ordinary wear
IS a plain tortoise shell comb pierced
