Resolutions of Sympathy

The Tazewell Chapter of The
Daughters of the Confederacy in the
State of Virginia, records with deep
and heartfelt regret the death of the
only child of our beloved President,
Mrs. E. V. SPOTS.
Mary Holmes Pearce passed out of
this life into the light of a new day
on Saturday, November 18th, 1910,
in Beaufort, North Carolina, at st.
Paul's School,
"There is Reaper, whose name is
death,
And with his sicle keen,
He reaps the bearded grain at a
breath,
And the flowers that grow between.
Shall l have naught that is fair?'
saith he;
Have nauhgt but the bearded grain :?
Though the breath of these flowers is
sweet to me,
l will give them all back again.
And the mother gave, in tears and
pain,
The flower she most did love;
She knew she would find her once
again
In the fields of lihgt above.
o, not in cruelty, not in wrath,
The Reaper came that day:
Twas an angel visited the green
earth,
And took the flower away"
Long will dear little Mary Holmes
Pearce live in our hearts as a beauti-
full type of warm, of generous, loving
childhood, and we tender Jour sincere
sympathy to her dear mother in her
great grief.

help us to make it, and on the eve of

think of what the Association has
done in five years, and show your ap-
perciation in the only way that will
make it possible for the work to con-

Endorsed By Physician

The number of cases of consump-
tion, tuberculosis, existing in the
community is alarming, and we
should use every means to educate
the people to the dangers of it's
spread; how it may be contracted,
and how to prevent it.
One way Of reaching this is through
the literature Of the Virginia Anti
tuberculosis League. The work of
this organization is supported solely
by the Christmas sale of Red Cross
Seals, which can be found at every
store in town, and also/at North Taze-
well. We should all use these seals
only a penny each, and tell others
about them, thereby doing our part in
a good cause. Be sure to read the
next Health Bulletin"

support of our people in the Red
