In Memoriam

Once again the Angel of Death. has
been at work among us, this time re-
moving Mrs. Minnie NJ stearns Mccoy,
the beloved wife of Andrew J. Mccoy.
She has been called home by her dear
SAVIOUR to dwell with him, and she will
De greatly missed. She died Wednes-
day. Feb. %, at 4:25 a. m, and was laid
at rest Thursday, Feb. "a, at $50 D. m.
at the Odd Fellows cemetery at New
port. Her age was 10 years 10 months
and IL days. The funeral services were
conducted by Rev. N. S. Hawk, of the
Nj. e. church. The casket was of white
raised velvet. She was ROBBED In her
wedding dress of cream silk. Four
schooimates sang the last sad rites. She
leaves besides her sorrowing husband
her father, mother and sister. Being
OF kind congenial disposition she was
favorite among her MANY friends and
acquaintance, always having kind
word for everybody. She was married
May 81. 1905, to A. J. Mccoy. To her
sorrowing friends let me say: She is
not here. Her spirit has risen to realms
where spirit life doth dwell, to that long
home beyond that deep dark river, to
live with God. who doeth ali things we'll
We watched her breathing through the night,
| Her breathing soft and low,
! AS in her breast the wave OF life
| Kept heaving to and fro.
So silently we seemed to speak,
! SO slowly moved about,
! AS we had lent her MALT our power
To exc her living out
Our very hopes belied our fears,
Our fears our hopes belied
| We thought her dying when she slept,
And sleeping when she died.
And when the morn came dim and sad
Chilled with early showers
| Her quiet eyelids closed she had
Another morn than ours *x

Little Rock, April 16.--Sena-
tor Jeff Davis left last night for
Washington, stating that his
departure was in response to q
telegram from the Senate Judici.
ary Committee requesting him to
go to Washington at once, as the
question Of confirmation Of the
nomination OF H. l., Kennel for
marshal Of the eastern district OF
Arkansas would be considered
by the senate within the next
two or three days.
Senator Davis said that he
would oppose the confirmation
OF Mr.. Remmel. Senator Davis
said that he had greater conf.
dencs now than ever in the
chances Of the democratic party
for success at the next presiden-
tial election. The recent demo-
cratic victories in New York and
Massa ohusetts, he says, pretend
success for the party in 1912.
He favors Judson Harmon ol
Ohio for president and believes
that II some good, conservative
southern man should be noml-
mated for second place, the dem
ooratic party would win easily.

THE HIGH PRICE OF MEAT.
The Ladies Home Journal Is Glad The
Price OF Meat Is Soaring.

When the price of meat goes
up let US not grumble but be
thankful. Any force that will
compel US to eat less meat than
we do is distinct cause for
gratitude. There was no great
er blessing in disguise than when,
last January, thousands agreed
to abstain from eating meat for
thirty or sixty days. Hundreds
of folks had their eyes definitely
and convincingly opened to the
truth which this magazine has
constantly tried to hammer into
the minds Of its readers; that the
American indulgence in meat is
one of the most needless and
wasteful Of our national extrav-
agances. The repulsive eating
of meat at breakfast time is for
tunately rapidly dying out; for
that there never was an excuse,
but every known dietetic reason
for its abolition. But meat twice
day in just as unnecessary;
the most that any Of US need, no
matter how hard may be the
manual labor we are engaged in,
is red meat once a day. And
three times a week is better, in.
finitely better. We do not seem
to get it into our heads that meat
gives energy that is soon burned
out, but it does not give US
strength. We need not 60 to the
extent OF abstaining from meat
altogether, although it is a
proved fact that some of the
healthiest and strongest people
never touch meat. But fish,
poultry, beans, cheese, eggs or
nuts-all these are not only good
substitutes but make an infinite-
ly better diet for the average
man or woman than the red
meats, While the vegetarians
are at the other extreme end OF
the question it cannot be denied
that they are closerto strength.
ening diet than those who per-
sist in meat as a regular in
