sponsibilitios of home-making. As
a husband, truer devotion was
never known in anyone. AS a
soldier and citizen, he was all a
country could ask for. And as a
teacher, thirty-siX years were given
entirely to the school room all for
the purpose of pointing out to those
under him a way to a broader and
more exalted life. His last earthly
task was TO help and improve his
home and community, and the Citi-
zen's Association has sustained a
loss that can not be repaid. Truly
was his life of service to human
ity, especially the weak and help
less. No call for help ever found
in him a deaf ear, but in his noble
heart always met a responsive cord.
How our hearts go out in sympa-
thy for our aged sister now in this
sad hour of her life For forty
years she has enjoyed the sweet
companionship of that husband
whom she had loved with all the
devotion of a good woman's heart,
and now her comfort and Joy is
that this, the dearest tie Of earth,
has been loosed here and tied in
heaven where there is am endless
age Of unity and peace and happi-
ness.
On Thursday morning, the 4th,
the funeral services were conducted
at his home in Wentworth, and
many friends gathered to pay the
last tribute Of love to this friend,
neighbor and loved one. Truly we
can all say that Mr.. VOORHEES, was
a friend in need. He was put to
rest in the National Cemetery with
all the military honors due an
officer of the Civil War.
How comforting it is for us to
feel that after a life of seventy
two years of service to humanity
in this world, with its perpleXi-
ties and trials, he has gone to an
everlasting home of happiness and
joy.

cHARlrAsLe ADVERTISING.

"Thls afternoon we want to have a
little talk on the subject Of charit-
able advertising" says The Pensacola
Evening News. And charitable adyer-
Using is subject that one can not
discuss any too carefully.
1T is assume that the up-to-date
merchant and business man makes an
annual appropriation for advertising
AS a general rule this advertising is
not classified-such as newspaper
nand bills, posters, circulars, bill
board, etc
Some church, or society goes to

entertainment and wants to sell a five

up scheme, and when the merchant
contributes to It he likewise charges
It to advertising, when, IL he would
be honest with himself he would
charge 1t to charity, for few ever e
pect to get any results from them.
"All of this hurts the advertiser and
the legitimate advertising man, be-
cause when the merchants advertis-
Ing appropriation is exhausted the adj

The results he ought to be getting |

Every business house is called on
more or less to contribute to charita-
