A RELATIVE
MARIAN WELFORD..


The Death Angel visited the home
of Mr.. W. Charlie Wexford near
Lucedale., Miss, add took away his
beloved wife, Marian. on December
IS, 1909. She was the daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Allen Mason, was.
married July %, 1898, and early in
life gave her heart to the Lord, unite
ing with the Mt. Pisgah Baptist
Church, in whose faithful service she
remained until transferred to the
general assembly above. She was
full of life and attached a host OF
friends by her gentle, warm hearted
nature. Her friendship was not only
a mere name but a reality and her.
large warm heart gave fully of its
treasures of love and helpfnlness to
those who claimed her as friend.
IiShe was the mother Of three little
boys of which two remain with nus
band, father, mother, three BROTH
ers and a host of relaaives and
friends to mourn hGs loss. We know
tbs sad to part with those we love SO
dear, but we know that God knows
| best and doeth all things well, so let
US try to be prepared to meet her
in heaven where partings come no
more. Until Jesus comes she sleeps
in Mt. Pisgah Cemetery where many
of Gods jewels are resting until the
morning of the resurrection. May
the bereaved ones find in the word OF
Jesus sweet consolation, for il we
! believe that jesus died and rose
again, even so them also that sleep in
Jesus will God bring with him.

Remedy for Cold Feet.

Dear Miss Doom:
Would you kindly tell me what
causes my feet to be cold all the time,
especially at night, when I go to bed.
I am not outdoors very long before
they are so stiff that I can hardly
move them. Do you think I ought to
wear a certain kind of shoe? Please
answer soon. A READER.
There are several things which may
cause your feet to be cold. Perhaps
your circulation is poor, or at some
time you may have frosted you feet.
There are fleece insoles which you can
buy in any shoe store or In the shoe
department of any of the stores, which
can be worn inside the shoe. A very
simple remedy hat may prove Of ben
eft is to cut two or three thicknesses
of newspaper the shape of the sole
and wear them inside of your shoe.
If the newspaper does not help to
keep your feet warmer then try the
fleece soles. When you retire wear
q pair of worsted slippers or else
wrap your feet in a WOODEN shawl or a
piece of flannel.

In Fire Department.

Dear Margery Doom:
Can q man be appointed to the fire
or police department before civil serv-
ice law goes into effect without passing
an examination? BY answering you
will confer a favor. II. ".
AS the civil service law In this
city does not go into effect until the
23d of this month, appointments at
the present time in the fire and police
departments are made by the police
and fire commissioners, SO that a man
could be appointed to either one OF
those departments before the civil
service law goes into operation, but
he would be required to pass a physi-
cal and mental examination, and there
would be little chance Of his receiving
an appointment, as at present there is
no eligible list.
