be unkind. In the death of Brother Cuttings

ever ready to lend helping hand to relieve
distress. and to help, aid and assist when

thusiastic brother.
Resolved. That in the death of Bro. H.

many friends, and his immediate family,
and as mark of our sorrow we wear the

the favorable consideration of the Delegates

sented Berkeley County one term in the
Legislature and did it very creditably to
himself and his constituents. Mr.. Cnshwa
is man of experience in business ahairs.
and one whose honesty and integrity should
commend him to the whole people, while
his Democracy is unquestioned. When VIII

In Memoriam.

In loving remembrance of our dear father
Lewis Staubs, who died February /, 1906
Gone, but not forgotten, nor will he ever be
Though this world is full of trouble,
Full of sorrow and of pain,
Yet to us it would be heaven,
If Pa were only here again.
o how we grieve the loss of Papa,
And many sad tears we have shed:
Our home is so gloomy, which once was 8
bright,
Since our dear father is dead.
Time may pass and years may fly.
And every hope decay and die;
And every peaceful dream may set,
But our dear Papa we cannot forget
He is waiting by the river,
just across the silver stream,
Where sweet flowers forever bloom,
And the banks are ever green.
God of love, send us some token
From the Spirit World above.
That our hearts. all crushed and broken,
May be healed by heavenly love.
By HIS DAUGHTER, ANNIE NJ. WILTSHIRE.
