We fail asleep in 1909 and
awake in 1910.
The years that we have lived
with what succession do they come.
The old year fingers but a mo-
ment-the funeral dirges scarcely
greet the ear before Time breaks
forth in joyful strains. ,proclaiming
the advent of the new.
Childhood's years, how short
lived, and with what swift success
sion do they come. They are the
springtime of life, the gladstone
days of girlhood apd of boyhood,
when life bOuyant with hope and
expectation weaves the golden
thread of am bition in the wool that
has made the men and women
who have made the world. Man
hood brings maturer years, when
| the dreams of youth take form in
life. and hope and mbition are
intensified by effort to attain our
cherished ideals. Manhood's years,
they are withal the gladdest and
the saddest. They came to me
upon my bridal eve with festooned
flowers and garlands, and placed
them upon the fair young brow of
her whom first | loved, and, laugh
ing, sped away on swiftest wing,
and fingered for awhile, and then
unbidden, came, and with cruel
hand snatched from the brow of
womanhood, the festal wreath, and
brought instead chrysanthemums
and floral emblems. and placed
them onsthe grave of buried hope,
then onward fled The maturer
years, these are To us oft times the
cruelist, and yet, | love them, for
they bring me cherished hopes and
friendships and associations To
brighten the pages of memory.
And then come the declining
years. snOw-capped with the sub
Unity of manhood and woman
hood, when we stand upon the
summit OF the centuries, and with
palsied hand. throw back the cur
tain and recount our trials and
triumphs.
When as one who treads some
desert waste alone, we spend our
years as a tale that is told" and
roll away the stone from the char
nal house. and re-live the friend
ships and associations of other
days. This is the time Of the sere
and yellow leaf when the weight
of years bears down upon the
shoulders of man, and time silvers
bis head with white and prepares
him for the transit and the call.
Then comes the eternal years
sum of them ALL The innocence of
childhood; the hopes and aspira-
tions of Christly manhood anal |
womanhood, we shall embody,
when we embark upon the Stream
of Time, and are anchored safely 1
In eternity. They are the crown
ing years that tell us of the Fathers
house and the glad home coming.

heart failure last week, the country
has sustained great loss-One OF ITS

which characterized McLaurin :

"the McIaurin Clan. 1t is his
tory, that in all these contests, the
McLaurin's won and never proved
disloyal to any who abetted their
cause. In this way they perpet-
mated their power. Every clan has
its leader-the influence the mind
or the man, around whom, and for
whom-the satellites circulate. To
say that McLaurin was the central
figure Of his clan, is putting 1t mild
he was the magnet that drew
and held the power that fashioned
for himself and for his friends.
Though selfish where his ambi-
ton was concerned. he was not so
in bestowing favors and dispensed
them with prodigal hand.
siThough exercising these traits.
he contrived to serve his eonstl-
tuency Justly. brilliantly and to the
best interests of his country. His
career is as indellebly written upon
the hearts Of his countrvmeD as 1t

Aberdeen Lodge No. 80, F. and A.
NJ. held its usual SITS. Johns Dav
celebration on Monday night, the 27th.
which combined the public installa-
ton of the recently elected officers,
and the annual banquet. The pro-
gramme was one full of interest to a
large audience that assembled at the
opera house to witness it and the fol-
lowing officers received their insignias
for the ensuing twelve months term ::

J. A Rogers-Senior Warden.
w. A. Mcmillan Junior Warden.
A. j. Brown-Treasurer
G.. G. Secretary.
j. A. McKinney-Tiler.
G. o. Haughton- Senior Deacon.
Thomas F. Paine-Junior Deacon.
The installation was conducted by
Grand Master w. H. Clifton, who
was rendered public reception by
the lodge previous to the installation
ceremonies. Mr.. Clifton delivered an
address during the evening on the
tenets and principles of Masonry that
was heard with as much interest by
the uninitiated as by those who had
delved into the mysteries of the or
der.
AT the conclusion of the installa-
ton the lodge and such friends as had
received invitations, repaired to the
lodge room where magnificent BAN
quet was in waiting. AS a feast of
good things and flow of happy souls,
this entertainment probably surpass-
ed any of similar character that have
been annually enjoyed in the same
h all.
AS Grand Marshal of the Day, Capt.
E. L. Sykes escorted the Grand Mas
ter and announced the program
and speakers in his usual Chesterfield
manner.
Our local lodge is appreciated by
the craft all over the State as one of
the brightest in this jurisdiction, and
with the corps of officers installed
Monday night we may be assured
that its reputation will not be per-
mitted to suffer during their tenure.
