THOMAS sPoTIswooDE WEXFORD.

Thomas spotiswoode Wexford, whose death
occurred at his home in Newport News,
Virginia, on the morning of Monday, the 18th
day of August, 1906, was born in the city of
Richmond, the -- day of January,
1876. He was the only son of Mr.. and Mrs.
p. A. Wexford. The last few years of his
life were spent in Newport News, his adopted
home, where, in 1903, he married Miss Mary
Byrd Dimmock. His wife and an only child,
Belle Street Wexford, survive him.
The passing of life, at it's food-tide in
the lengthening Of the shadows, can give but
grief and pain to those who tarry yet awhile.
But when the bidding of the Eternal comes
and in response only to which is the gar
nering of the Great Harvester-in the morn
of youth, when faith is strongest and there
is fear, how comfortless is our sorrow.
In the thirtieth of a life-embodying that
which was pure and true and noble-lofty
in it's ideals-kindly and sympathetic in it's
impulses-strong and resolute in it's pur-
poses-rich in it's faith and rejoicing in
heritage vouchsafed only to Gods children
Goods finger touched him and he slept"
To the finite, at the voice of Cod he closed
his eyes on things of time and laid him down
to sleep. In the infinite, he knows even
he is known and the fulness Of the stature
of true manhood in Christ Jesus is his

With Irritating Skin Humor-WhoIe

Out-WonderfuI Result From
APPLICATION OF
CUTICURA REMEDIES

"I am never without Cuticura Soap
and Cuticura Ointment since l tried
them last summer About the latter
part of July my whole body began to
itch. l did not take much notice of it
at first, but it began to get worse all the
time, and then l began to get uneasy
and tried all kinds of baths and other
remedies that were recommended for
skin humors; but [ became worse all
the time. My hair began to fall out and
my scalp itched all the time. Espe-
cially at night, just as soon as I would
get IN bed and get warm, my whole body
would begin to itch and my finger nails
would keep it irritated, and it was not
long before | could not rest night or day.
A friend asked me to try the Cuticura
Remedies, and L did, and the first appli-
cation helped me wonderfully. For
about four weeks would take a hot
bath every night and then apply the
Cuticura Ointment to my whole body:
and kept getting better, and by the
time l used four boxes of Cuticura I was
entirely cured, and my hair stopped
falling out, but 1 continue to use the
Cutlcura on my scalp. 1t keeps all dam

Young's Female College at Thomasville
Georgia. of which Mr.. Cochrane Hunt is
principal. Her dignity and skill were con-
sidered uncommon in one so youthful and
pupils for her and their grief at her loss
were tributes worthy of her gifts and
graces.
In her home circle Lily was the center
of love and admiration: she was a skillful
needlewoman, and her gifts were fit

full.
Her innate reverence and tender conscience
made her a Christian early in life, and des-
pite natural timidity that soft voice was ever
raised and the blue eyes alight when she
was sure protest was her duty:
She was trim in dress, graceful in figure
and her pretty hands arranged her wavy
golden brown hair in charming fashion She
greatly resembled her grandmother Taylor,

The fourth of July, Lily was taken to the

Heaven, and the friends who loved her in
church and school will long be blessed by
the life of this gentle yet courageous, modest
yet forceful good and lovely Lily Weller,

done.

city of Baltimore a street which bears his
name though wrongly spelled. He came to
children, Jane an Sallie. He was a Seceder
IN belief, and thought nothing of walking
IN tne weather to attend services at Timber
Ridge church. His home was built upon the
corner Of Frederick and Market streets where
one Of Miss Baldwin's houses now stands.
Jane Mccullough married Armistead Mos
