Roughly speaking, the plan is simply
to try out an unlimited number OF

of iron, and to determine by the Wet.

the interposition of the layer serves
to decrease the attraction the balls

the substance of which that layer is

In MemOriam.

Mrs. M. w. Milling fell asleep in Jesus,
at her residence in Bossier Parish, on May
81, 1910, aged eighty-two years.
Born in Fairfield District, S. c., Decem-
Der %, 1923, she came with her husband,
DR.. j. w. Milling, to Louisiana in the year
1866.
Mrs. Milling united with the Presbyterian
Church early in life, before reaching years
of maturity, in Camden, S. c., and has
been ever since most consistent and de-
voted member of that faith. She retained
her activity, usefelness and interest in life
long past the time such is expected. Her
life exemplifed the highest excellence of
Christian character She loved the house
of God, its ordinances, and His people,
and as long as she was able to attend SER
vices, her seat was never vacant in the
little church so we'll known, long ago, as
"Banks' Chapel
Mrs. Milling's home, EMPOWERED beneath
shade of spreading oaks, and one Of the
few ante bellum residences left in our par
ish, was the Mecca of all visiting ministers.
The wayfarer, too, met kind welcome from
her, journeying on refreshed with the ''cup
of cold water" that, like her generous ma
ture, went out in service to every "passer
by"
Mrs. Milling was loved and esteemed by
all who knew her. She was an honored
and devoted mother, and loyal friend.
Anticipating the call of her Master she
went calmly into His presence. With all
her beloved children close beside her, and
from the clinging clasps of loving arms,
and the hold of those dear loved ones who
felt they could not give her up, she passed
into her eternal rest. Soft as loosened
leaves of roses did the pearly gates swing
ajar for her ransomed spirit.
"Teaching US how to seek the highest goal,
To earn the true success,
To live, to love, to bless,
And make Death proud to take a royal SOUL"
To the dear ones who morn her loss
