MRS. EDWIN p. cox.

AT her home, in Richmond. Va, early
on Sunday morning. April 20, 1906.
Mrs. Sallie Bland Cox, wife of Edwin
r. COX, Esq. She was the daughter
of Capt. Maxwell T. Clark and his wife
Mrs Ellen Scott Clarke, and was born
in Richmond, May 10, 1870. She was
the light and blessing of a happy
home, and was known and loved by a
large circle of relatives and friends.
She grew up in the Second Presbyte-
ran Church, under the passionate of
the late Rev. DR.. Moses D. Hoge. and
from her place as a scholar in the Sun
day-school she early became a teacher
in the school, service to which she
gave herself with great fidelity. and
in connection with which she will long
and gratefully be remembered. In
her young days she gave her
heart to Christ. In the church where
her father and mother were married
she was baptized in infancy. She
there confessed the name of Christ: on
April II, 1898, she was married on the
same spot. And to that sacred place
under fair cover of flowers, her body
was brought on its way to it's resting
place in Hollywood.
She was a gentle woman. fair of
face and form, faithful in all her re-
lations and duties in life, an intelli-
gent and peaceful follower of Christ,
the maker of a happy home, a good
daughter, loving wife and mother.
Out of the midst of duties we'll dis
charged, and of the esteem and af-
lection of all around her, without ap-
prehension, she passed away to the
home which will never be broken I'D.

Obituaries.
MAJOR w. A. POWELL.

The following memorial on the death
of w. A. Powell, treasurer of Home
Missions, was unanimously adopted at
the regular monthly meeting of the
Executive Committee, and was order
ed spread upon our minutes, copy
furnished to each Of our religious
papers, and one to his family:
How beautiful it is for a man to die
Upon the walls of Zion! to be called
Like watch-worn and weary sentinel
To lay his armor off and rest in
heaven"
Beneath the unerring stroke of a
cruel Reaper, whose name is Death"
has fallen the strong figure of the be-
loved citizen, the devoted churchman
and the faithful Presbyter, Major w.
A Powell
Major Powell was born near Deca-
tur, Ga, March 5, 1925. The first
years of his life were spent in the mer-
camille business. At the beginning of
the Civil War he went to the front
and served his country with faithful
ness and distinction, rising to the rank
of major. During the battle of Manas-
sas, amidst the storm of shot and shell,
a greater conflict was waging, with his
soul as the prize. The Holy Spirit
won, and there upon the battlefield
Major Powell fell upon his knees and
gave himself to God. So soon as the
opportunity was given he made a pub
lie confession of his sins and his faith
in the Lord Jesus Christ, and united
with the First Presbyterian Church of
Atlanta, his father-in-law, Dr. John S.
Wilson. being the pastor From that
day on the battlefield to the day of
his death he walked faithfully in the
footsteps of his Master.
In 1888 Major Powell was elected
Treasurer of the General Assembly's
Home Mission Committee and so ac-
curate so faithful was he in the per
Torrance of his duties that no critic
ism has ever been made, and no error
or inaccuracy of any consequence has
ever been found in his books.
1t is enough to say-as all men
know-that he was Goods noblest
work-an honest man." The soul
within him was a pure soul. the
thoughts that guided his life were
holy thoughts, and the faith that was
his was as Unsullied as the faith of the
prophets of old He was a man whom
God made upright, a man who cared
not for himself, but for others. a man
witbal. who had caught the very idea
Of the Holy Man Of Nazareth and ex-
panded it i'm his daily life.
While we mourn him. we will en-
deavor TO emulate his example. and
walk as he walked. in the footsteps
Of the Master.
To his beloved wife his children and
kindred we tender our sincere sym
pathy. and commend them TO the low
ing heavenly Father, who doeth all
things well.

and when this is all done they arc sent
over to the hall IN Jersey City, where
they arc assembled and made waterproof
and airproof. This Is done by coating
them with a substance that makes them
look rather like oiled silk. After the
wnterproofng Is completed the great
bags arc filed with gas ana tested to
SEQ IL they leak, a record Is also kept
OF the amount Of gas that leaks from
them. for on the ability of the envelope"
to hold gas docs the economy OF the sport
depend. When the bag comes up to tho
requirements or the makers tests, then.
and then only, is It sent out to It's buyer.

Balloons and arships are going up.
5rhnt is 10 saw Ahc members OF the Aero
4 Club are getting down to the serious bust
ness OF showing that theirs Is an organ-
cation bent on living UP to It's name and
purposes by actually buying balloons and
arships; by arranging for gas plants to
establish convenient stations from which
flights may DO started. and by actually
floating or flying through the air.
To hear an arlaleur tlilate on the eco
nomIcal delights ,vf baloonins Is to get
an Impression that that sport is MS cheap
almost as riding q bicycle. One of these
huge spheres. capable of carrying man
through the air, can be bought for $500,
and from that their prices range up to
$4,000, while as good a balloon as any
one would wish to own Can be had for
$500. At this price everything that goes
with a successful flight and descent Is
thrown In by the maker, including such
things as the sand bags that hold the
bag down while 1t Is being filled to the
anchor With which II may be fastened
IN readiness for the last stage OF the
descent SO far as storage space Is con-
cerned, man may live in a hall bed
