Death Of Little 4 leathIa Marks Shaw.

Died on Sunday near Enfield August
26 Of spinal meningitis, Aleathia
Marks, oldest daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Walter Shaw, aged , years l
month and 20 days.
She had been in perfect health a
good while. On Saturday before her
death she was taken sick and on Sum
day there was change for the worse
and in few hours there WAS a decided
one. We saw that medical aid nor
loving hands could not lengthen the
lille OF little Aleathia.
She was a very affectionate and I'M
usually bright child. She was buried
in Scotland Neck Baptist cemetery on
Monday afternoon. Rev. J. E. Holden,
OF Scotland Neck, spoke very touch
ingly OF the life and death of one SO
pure, that knew not OF the sting of sin.
The little chair she loved so we'll is
vacant. No more will we hear her
sing the little songs she sang so sweet
ty, but weep not bereaved ones, she is
singing songs OF gladness around the
throne of God where sorrow and sick
ness can never dsrken the brightness
OF her JOY. She Will ever be waiting
tor you al the beautiful gate.
Look to Him that doeth all things
we'll and say, "Thy will be DONE"
Arms empty of our child, we lift,
With spirit unbrereaven
God will not take back His gifts,
Our child is ours In Heaven.

Letter to N. 3. Josey.
Scotland Neck, n. G..

Dear Sir: How did you get your
business? we'll tell you how we got
ours. You sell shoes, we make paint =;
perhaps we can do good turn to our
selves, you and we, by swapping exper-
fences.
We began I52 years ago in little
shop few-mlnutes walk from where
we are now great many things have
happened, we don't remember them
all. We made g good paint as We
could and learned to make better. We
are the oldest now; we don't know
whether we had any teacher or not :;
it's so long ago If we had, he's gone
and forgotten. We should have been
forgotten il we hadn't made good
paint and friends.
You buy your shoes; you have an
advantage in that II you make mis-
take, you can stop it quick. We've
had to go slow; it's hard to pick out
ones own mistakes, and nothing but
fun to correct the mistakes of others.
You know where to go for leather
that keeps it's shape, feels good, looks
new, and wears a long time. What a
comfort it is to be comfortable from
making ones customers comfortable
We also have unique advantage
unique, you know, means that no.
body-else has anything like it. We
make strong paint that takes less gal.
| Ions, saves half the cost of painting
your house, and it's like that leather
of yours for wear. 1t is all paint and
the strongest of paint. Paint is usual
ly adulterated and weak.
We're very old, but we make young
paint! one gallon Is better than two
| it it has the stuff in it.

WIDOW OF A. J. CASSATT
DEMANDS QUIET FUNERAL
CASSATT ESTIMATED
BY Thomas {. ShOtWell,
In the New York American.

\. ], Cassatt is dead, Some other
man will be elected to the office he
has vacated, but A. ]. Cassatt will
remain president of the Pennsylvania
railroad for the next twenty-five
years. He has Impressed his per
s0nality and policy on the great rail
road system TO such an extent that
his successors can do nothing bat
carry out his wishes.
HIS will is not written on paper,
but is laid down iu steel rails and
huge tunnels. in vast terminals and
in a mighty policy of expansion.
However he may be criticised in de-
tail for things he has done. there
can be but one judgment of his ca
reer. The evil he may have done,
whether deliberately or in the heat
of battle with other railroad systems,
will soon be forgotten. The good
effects of his management viii be
more apparent from year 10 year as
his policy is carried To its legitimate
end.
When "a man impresses himself
urOn the financial world. as Cassatt
did. II is only proper that his death
be measured in market value. II is
no disrespect 10 the late Mr.. Cassatt
to say that his removal is a promise
of higher prices for Pennsylvania
stock. His tremendous imagination
and far look ahead made him per-
petuaI menace TO the stockholders,
for he could always see some need
for more money. As long as he lived
there was a constant expectation of
new stock and bond issues.
il is pretty certain that he has cut
out enough work for the company TO
do in the ncxt twenty-five years,
and has provided the money with
which 10 do IL. The volume of Penn
sylvauia securities has, therefore,
perhaps reached it's limit for a long
time. Gradually increased earnings
will begin 10 make their appearance
as "A result of the Improvements.
Pennsylvania as "A per Cen- stock
should now move up To its proper
position among other issues paying
the same dividend.
No immediate bad effects need be
feared, because Mr. Cassatts death
has been expected by those entitled
to know about his condition for the
last week.
