In MemOriam.

Mrs. Ira NJ Barker was born Sep
tember 20, 1880, and died February %,
1909, and was in the 29th year of her
age. Mrs. Barker was a daughter of
Mr.. J. P. Mercer, of Eizabethtown,
Bladen county, N. c.
AS child she was bright, amiable,
and lovable The sweetness of her dis
position and the evenness of her temper
won the love and affection OF all who
knew her. When only a child she ac
cepted Christ as her Savior, and became
a member of Hickory Grove Baptist
church in Bladen county.
She was one who followed not afar
off, but was willing to bear her Mas
ter's cross under all circumstances, be-
cause of the love she bore to Him.
AS she grew into womanhood all
these excellent traits of character pos
sessed in childhood became the fixed
principles of her life.
1t was while attending school at Bar
ker's High School, as girl of nineteen,
that she became acquainted with Mr..
Barker, Of that community, to whom
| she was married June 10, 1900.
| AS schoolgirl at Barker's and as a
neighbor and citizen, since her mar
riage, she won the love and respect OF
the entire community. She made home
life happy and attractive, and carried
the sunshine of happiness and peace
which eminated from her pure sweet
life wherever she went.
1t is sad to think that she was called
upon so early in life to struggle against
the monster disease, but she was the
victor, for after many months of weary
but patient suffering she overcome the
last enemy, death; laid down the cross
took up the crown. The husband ant

and precious little ones until they sha

In Memory of Good Man.

Fairmont and the entire section round
about have suffered an irreparable loss
in the recent death of our highly es-
teemed friend and brother, Louis Pit
man.
Both in the community and in the
hearts of all the people who knew him
he had place which none other can fill.
AS Christian, he was faithful, quiet,
and unassuming; and as gentleman he
possessed a character consonant with
all that the word means.
He was most useful and worthy cit
izen, man of high ideals, and in dis
position cheerful, generous and open
hearted.
In spite of some misfortunes that
crossed his path in life he moved on
ward, making record of which every
member of his surviving family and ev-
cry citizen of his acquaintance should
be justly proud.
This sketch is written de profundis,
because of the personal loss the writer
feels in his departure and our heart felt
sympathy is rendered the bereaved.

Germany will soon be leading the

be as widespread as 1t Is to-day.

Professor Schuette, of the Techni-
cal High School at Danzig, Prussia, Is
the inventor Of the new cargo balloon
soon to be constructed at that place.
The gas bag will be 80 feet long,
with a diameter OF about fifty feet,
and the skeleton frame Is to have
double diagonal wooden ribs instead
OF the customary aluminium ones. A
car 100 long by twelve and half
feet wide will be carried, and the
power for driving the propeller will
be generated by two gas motors OF
$50 horse power each. BY the sub
stitutlon of wood for aluminium, the
ability Of the machine to carry weight
is much increased, and, in addition to
the equipment and crew, 1000 to

Practically every business man in
the city has telephone. No one who
deals with his commercial colleagues
would think of doing without the
'phone--lt pays to have one. That's
true in the city-but do you realize
Just how much more valuable the tel
ephone is to the farmer? Those with
whom he deals are often miles away.
To him 1t Is an absolute necessity,
and to do without would be worse
than uncomfortable.
For instance, take the stock raiser
who wants to sell some animals.
What job 1t is to drive them along
the road, to find his man, and, IL the
bargain is not made, to drive them all
back again. II he has a telephone,
arrangements are made for meet
ing, or even a dicker can be made
over the long distance wire.
What relief 1t is to the farmer to
be able to find out how prices are in
town-to watch for a good market
and sell at best advantage to himself.
Yes, a relief, but not only that, a saw.

How Elephants Sleep.

In captivity elephants stand up
when they sleep, but in the jungle, in
their own land, they lie down.
The reason given for the difference
between the elephant in captivity and
in freedom is that the animal never

keeper and always longs for liberty.
