this time both the Senator and
the member OF the House. Now
we ascertain that it does not
mean to say that either ought 70
go TO that county. We feel sure
that the Senator ought not to
come from the good county OF
MiddleseX, and we will await the
announcement of candidates be-
tore committing ourselves unre-
servedly as TO the member OF the
House. The Sentinel, however,
refuses either to reaffirm or to
recedc from its former faith that
the people should not turn out a
faithful public servant and dis
tinguished representative, simply
because another gentleman wants
the honor. And we feel sure that
the Sentinel has so well educated
the people to its views in this re-
gard that they will not now see it
in any new light.
Nor can we subscribe to their
new doctrine of the Sentinel that
there can be no consistency in
politics-for ,ve believe that. in
hardly any relation of citizen to
State is there greater need for
consistency or stability.
We, therefore. desire, even in
this unimpOrtant detail to deny
this charge of inconsistency, and
we will commend to our friend
the statement of Lord Macauley
that he had been faithful to
one set of opinions and to one Sc:
Of friends" and with that dis

doubt that these friends are

8oARD OF SUPERVISORS.

IN our last issue one of our
contributors. in commenting upon
our public roads and upon our
Board of Supervisors. suggests a
change of physicians. and
therefore we think it eminently
proper to take this occasion to
express our high regard for the
integrity, character, ability and
faithfulness of the Board as at
present constituted. Individu-
ally, they are men of worth. of
fine Judgment, OF large business
experience. AS a Board, they are
careful, painstaking, courteous,
Just and incorruptible. If it
charged that they lack progress
s:veness in dealing with the road
problem. it is susi cient to
say that they lack the money
to progress and the people whose
servants they are do net seem to
be in i hurry to interest them
selves IN raising that money.
We think the County Of Math-
e~s exceedingly fortunate in its
guardians of the county's inter
ests. and we have no hesitancy
IN saying that we believe the
great body of the people are of
the same opinion.

GEORGE DEE OWENS.

Our community has again been
saddened by the death of our
friend Dee Owens, when after an
illness of about two weeks. He
has been called to see a morn
fairer than ours. He died in
Norfolk. where ne has been at
work for about two years, of
spinal meningitis, on Monday,
March II, and was brought home
Tuesday.
Our hearts were sad when we
stood by the grave of Dee; we
could hardly realize that he had
gone forever.
Dee leaves a mother, father,
two brothers and one sister to
mourn their loss.
May the dear Lord be with
them in this sad hour Of affection
and may we ever live, so that in
such an hour as the Lord comes,
we may be ready to leave this
world of sorrow and sadness, and
enter the blessed mansion that
God has prepared for all his child
ren-a home of perfect peace and
rest.
We shall sleep but not forever.
In the lone and silent grave,
Blessed be the Lord that tal1eth,
Blessed be the Lord that gave.
In the bright eternal morning
Death can never, never come,
In his own good time he will call us,
From our rest to home, sweet home.

years 1 was troubled with kidney and

much pain and worry. 1 lost flesh

had to abandon work entirely. 1 had
three of the best physicians who did
me no good and l was practically

LANE DIGGS CAMP.

The last meeting of the camp
held on the 9th, proved by the
attendance and the various topics
discussed that there is life yet in
the few old Johnnies in our
midst.
Whilst it is true that the very
youngest is getting old and gray
headed. yet they want their meet
ings to be both interesting and
entertaining, so they passed a
resolution to organize a chapter
Of the Daughters of the Confed-
crates. Now let us say any
daughter. granddaughter, sister
or wife of a Confederate is eligi-
bic to membership.
SO let us remember that at
our next meeting to be held on
Saturday, April IS, 1907. we wish
every old soldier in the county,
who has the cause at heart to
meet with us at 2 o'clock and
bring along with you, wife, sister
daughter or granddaughter and
let the ladies learn what the
camp wishes them do.
Be punctual and urge the
ladies to come out in force.

Sweet flowers are blooming on her
grave,
Although the years have been two
since she bade me adeiu,
Yet by tender, loving care
Beautiful flowers are blooming over
her there.
The white rose that was her ioy and
pride
Is sadly blooming by her side:
The lilies that she loyed the best,
Is smiling tenderly over her brea st.
Oft in my loneliest hour only wish
had the power to remove that cruel
bed of clay,
And behold my Auntie without decay.
Sometimef as 1 stand beside that
mound,
And my tears fall fast upon the
ground;
Seems to me can hear her speak,
Weep not for 1 am only asleep.
Farewell, Farewell my auntie dear,
I've spend two sad and lonely years.
You left me with an aching heart,
The day you and 1 did part.
My heart is sad and lonely yet,
My grief too deep to tell;
But the time may Come to me soon,
When 1 may come to thee and dwell

There is a vacancy in that home tina
never can be filled.
Oh God my heart is weary,

So sad since that darling left us,
Two years ago to-day.
