In MemorIam.

The hearts of Geo. D. and Mary Z.
Hickman were crushed on FEBRUARY
10th. 1907, when the angel OF deaon
entered their home, near falnee5'
and bore away their darling. chlld,
Stella. aged II years, A months, III
davs with that terrible disease, quin-
Sv Che was the sunshine OF our
home and a great sufferer during her
illness.
Little Stella how we miss you,
No one on earth can tell,
But we hope in heaven to meet you'
There forevermore to dwell.
A precious one from us has gone,
4 voice we loved is stilled,
A place is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filed.
God in his wisdom has recalled,
Our little Stella home,
And if we are faithful here,
We will all meet her around Vne
throne.
Yes. we will gather at the river,
In that bright and happy land,
Where we will sing and praise lot
ever,
Holding Stella by the hand.
This lovely bud so bright and fair,
Called hence by early DOOM,
Game to show how sweet this hover
In Paradise would bloom.
Ere sin could harm or sorrow fade,
Death came with friendly care,
The opening bud to heaven conveyed
And babe it blossom there.
Gone but not forgotten,
Nor ever will be,
AS long as life lasts,
We will remember thee.
By mother and father.

Letter to mr.. Geo. B. ish,
Accomac, Va.

Dear Sir: Here's another proplem
for those arithmetic and algebra
scholars:
II Devoe is worth s1.75 gallon,an
snreads half further than average
naint. and wears twice as long, wnat
is average paint worth gallon put
on painters wages being $3.50 a DAY
and days work a gallon of paint
The answer is minus sl.75 a gallon
That is: you could afford to paint with
average paint if somebody gives 1t to
YOU and pays half the painters wages
Yours truly,
F. W. Devoe & 90.
