IN MEMORIAM.

A deep sorrow was felt by our entire
church and community when on the
quiet Sabbath afternoon of May 22nd.
the gentle spirit of our sister, Mrs.
Ida Barksdale stole softly and silent
ly away after many months of intense
pain and suffering
Her presence will be greatly missed
in our church, and it is difficult to real
ize that one who has been so useful in
our Womans Missionary society, whose
active brain, loving heart and willing
hand should be stilled forever and one
on whom we depended in so many
ways will be seen among us no more.
Now since it has pleased our Heavenly
'her to take to himself this beauti-
full life of loving service. we. the w.
NJ. S. of the First Baptist church. de-
sire to place on our record this tri-
butte to her memory. Therefore be it
resolved:
First, That in the death of our Sis
ter we feel keenly our loss.
Second, That although she has gone
from earth she will always be lovingly
remembered by us as an example OF
Christian faithfulness
Third, That we tender to the family
our sincere and abiding sympathy ana
pray that the Lord may multiply unto
them his gracious mercies and that
they may be able to look through this
Misty Cloud and feel that all things
work together for good to them that
love the Lord
Fourth. That a page in our record
book be dedicated TO her memory. That
a copy of these resolutions be sent
to the bereaved family and copy of
same be sent to the Baptist Courier
and the county Dapers for publication.

Sir Gilbert Parkers novel, THE
Right of Way"
Mr.. Presbrey, he dramatic au-
thor, has followed the novel quite
faithfully yet has found it ngce,-
sary to make some departures from
the trend of the book story for dra-
matte effect. He says he has re-
tanned all the strength and yiriity
of the original conception OF Charley
Steele, with his doubts, his jibes, his
jeers and sneeres, and his eternal
question ever haunting in the face
.of all, is there anything in this
gray old world worth living for?"
With his sneer his cyeglass, his
cigarette, and his cool, insolent de.
tiance, he is said to be a clean-cut,
masterful figure translated from
book to stage.

OF which Portugais is a representa-
tive, has not before been attempted

Charles B. Hanford in modern
play is an announcement that rings
strangely in the ears of playgoers
who have thronged to see him in the
great roles of the classic drama. But
the announcement carries a thrill Of
compelling interest. with it's surprise,
for the prospect of seeing a char
acter of our own time and people
portrayed with the vivid human in
terest which Mr.. Hanford has given
to such roles as Marc Antony and
Shylock must arrest attention. AS
rule the modern American type is
represented on the stage as a purely
comedy creation. Mr.. Hanford gives
the title role in "The American
Lord" his offering for this season,
the benefit of a training in the
heroic moods of an Othello as we'll
as in the graceful suavity of Bene-
dick. The play has already been
tested in the competent hands Of
VIM. H. Crane, and it's success is al
ready an assured fact. 1t is a play

and Briton often feel toward each
other. The western millionaire who
after career which tested his
stoutness of heart and strength of
arm finds himself required to take
up life in what rural statesmen are
wont to style IAN effete Aristocracy"
is a rugged yet refined character
picture which Mr.. Hanfords versa
tile qualities are well calculated to
realize. The play also has a great
advantage in the opportunity af
forded by it's leading feminine role
to Miss Marie Drofnah whose admir-
ers will be delighted to find her
cast in so unusual yet emlnently
congenial a manner. A number of
favorites of other Hanford seasons
will be recognized in the list of
players, the company being on Of
the best that has ever supported
this eminent player. The produc-
tion will be complete one and full

so characteristic of previous offer

That the city of Salem is in a
prosperous condition, and that back
of that prosperity there is a spirit of
progressiveness and enterprise is
evidenced by the fact that about
100000 will be expended this year
in the improvement of its streets,
approximately $172, 900 be expended
in the installation of additional sew
er systems and the extension of the
old, making a total of about $472.-
O00--almost half million.
About 100000 was expended last
year In the improvement of the
city's street, but the work was not
then taken up until in the months Of
July and August and concluded in
the month of November. There still
remains some of the old contracts
to be finished, besides each ward in
the city has inaugurated a move
ment for improvement, and in view
of the fact that the work will be
commenced much earlier, along in
the month Of April, a conservative
estimate would seem to place the
improvement for the coming year at
about 100000. The expenditure of
this money means the employment
Of much labor, but the great signifi-
cance attached to 1t, is the fact that
It indicates that Salem is growing

ministration is keeping abreast with
its growth in municipal improve
ments.
