Letters From The People.

Editor of Enterprise kindly allow
me to use little space in your paper
TO call attention to sample OF "man's
inhumanity to man." that took place
about two weeks ago.
At $3.50 on the morning of Feb
ruary s, while off Old Plantation
Light, the bateau George A. Raynor
was dismasted and hence at the mercy
of wind and wave. Immediately after
the accident a distress signal was
hoisted on the end of an eighteen foot
oar and soon thereafter the Virginia
Oyster Police boat Accomac, Captain
Jarvis, passed within 300 yards OF us,
no stop whatever, although
our signal was plainly visible. The
captain of the Schooner Mayhower
"a colored mani came to our rescue
and towed us to Cape Charles Light,
Capt. Milligan, of the gasolene boat
George Cripps, towing us from the
light into the harbor. Both these
captains merit and have our heartfelt
thanks for the timely aid rendered us.
I would simply add that If Captain
Jarvis has no idea of his duty to hui
manlty, it were well for him to OBJ
serve his license rules closer unless he
wants his license revoked, as the cap
tain OF the disabled bateau and the
writer of this are both licensed pilots
and fully aware that it is demanded
of vessel captains that they render all
possible aid to those in distress.
Yours truly,
Harborton, E. Halversen.

In loving remembrance of our little
Cecil Morris Vessels, who was taken
from us one year ago, February 20,
1905, aged years and 6 months.
We closely held within our arms a
Jewel rare,
Never had one so rich and pure en-
gagged our care.
Twas our precious jewel God gave it
to us
twas ours-who else could care for
it so tenderly?
But the dear Master came one day
Our gem to take,
eve cannot let it go!" We cried;
Our hearts would break.
Nay, but the Master comes for 1t to
bear above,
To deck His royal diadem-
He comes in love.
"But Master" it is our treasure,
Our jewel rare; pure
Ne will safely guard and keep it
And very fair"
"If thou keepest my gen." He said
at may be LOST"
The threshold Of my home no thiei
Has ever crossed.
And where the hearts rich treasure Is
The heart will be,
Your jewel will be safe above,
Gone before thee,
While in the early dawn of morn
Our gem he took,
Close to my heart that morn held
Tears falling fast.
An empty casket the bright gem
Was safe at last. own
Yes, Master, Thou mayst keep oul
For it is Thine; hands
Safe in the mansion not made Will
IT'S Thine and mine.

In 1enloriam.

Another good man has passed from
earth. The spirit of Mr.. Henry Mel
son took its fight on February 9th,
1906. Truly can it be said of him that
he had a host of friends and no enc
mics. Though earnest in his con-
yictions of what he conceived to be
right, he was, nevertheless, charitable
in his views of others, always pur-
suing the even tenor of his way. He
was kindhearted and true, benevolent
and generous without ostentation.
Had he lived till the 10th of March
next. he would have reached the Goth
mile stone. He possessed not only Il
strong physical constitution, but a
strong mind as well.
The sole partner of his life, Mrs.
Emma James Nelson, most estima-
BILE lady, preceded him to the spirit
land some 16 years ago Nothing de-
lighted him more than to speak of her
rare virtues. He has now gone TO
ioin her in the home beyond the
skies for though he was not pro
Tossing Christian, the writer had
abundant opportunities to know that
he had an abiding faith in the Chris
tian religion. Perhaps the most prom
jnent characteristics of his long lie
were the confidence which he reposed
i'm his fellow man and his ever readi-
ness to do an act of kindness, without
reward, to his neighbors and friends.
He left two sons-Thos. H. and Al
gernon j. Nelson, and three daugh-
ters-Mrs. d. Frank White, Mrs Stan
lev J. Lewis and Mrs. John Henry
Parks and a number of grandchildren
to mourn their loss. After funeral
services at the home of his son, Mr..
Thos. H. Nelson, conducted by Rev.
Mr.. Goode, his mortal remains were
Inferred in Edge Hill Cemetery, on
Sunday, February 18th, 1906.
