A Southern MAGAZINE.

Six years have passed since we ventured
to publish magazine representative of the
South and West. To-day we stand alone
in the light of a successful and progressive
literary magazine, devoted exclusively to
the interest of the Southern and Western
people. The field which we represent can
not be covered by any other publication,
that is why we stand on solid ground. We
are MISUNDERSTANDING the development of
our Southern INDUSTRIES. We give the
people an opportunity to read of what is
being done to-day. This is brief outline
Of what the Taylor Trotwood Magazins is
doing. We are satisfied that this is the
best one dollar and fifty cent magazine
published, but we are not satisfied with our
mailing list. You may get other maya
zines for less than $3.50, but you can't get
the Taylor Trotwood. 1t is worth that, at
least. Send your subscription to

Obituary..

A bright and happy youth has answered
the last summons: "Your life's work is
ended" James Howard Mckinney, aged
twenty years, passed away December e.,
1910.
Howard spent the most of his short life
in his home at Rocky Mount with his father,
mother, brothers and sisters. No boy
could have been more dutiful and devoted
to his loved ones. His cheerfulness con-
tributed largely to the happiness of the
entire family circle.
The last eighteen months of his life we're
passed at Grand Bayou, in this State, where
he had gone to begin an independent life.
His health was all that could be desired
while there until December 18th, when he
was stricken with severe case of la grippe.
No fears were entertained for his recovery
through his last illness, until few mo-
ments before he died.
What a sad shock to his immediate fam
lily, who were making all necessary prepa-
tihns for Christmas reunion at his parents
present home in Hosston. Instead of see
ing him we'll and happy, his loved ones had
to gaze upon him cold in death.
The funeral services were conducted by
Rev. Mr.. Holt, in the Presbyterian Church
at Rocky Mount. A large assembly of
relatives and friends were in attendance to
pay their last tribute of respect to life
that had been checked so early in its ca
reer.
How sad for one so young and promis-
ing to be hewn down by the grim reaper!
But, if God, in His infinite wisdom, saw fit
to take him away we must bow our heads
in humble submission to his will. Dear
bereaved ones! in the darkest hour that
can come to our human lives He is stand
ing near US, closer than any earthly friend,
you always, even unto the end of the
WOrld'' r. g.

Death of a Sweet Little Girl,

AS the day was coming to close on
January II, 1911, the heavenly Father sent
his angels of message to claim the spirit of
little Donna Heath. She was next to the
youngest daughter of Mrs 7. w. Heath Of
Rocky Mount.
She died of that dreadful disease, ap-
pendicitis. She was carried to Shreve-
port and underwent an operation, and de-
spite the effort Of attending physicians and
all that loving hands could do, she passed
away.
She leaves heart broken mother, one
brother, five sisters and host of relatives
and frienes, who will sadly miss her. She
was bright child, and to know her was to
love her. She was too bright for this world
of sin and sorrow, and our heavenly
Father needed another bright jewel in His
mansion, and called her to come up higher.
Now, dear mother, brother and sisters,
grieve not as those who have no hope, for
Donna is peacefully resting in the arms OF
her blessed Savior, where she has gone to
meet father and sister and other loved
ones who have gone on before. May the
Lord be your comforter, and may we all
look forward to the time of reunion where
parting and heartaches are unknown.
Her remains were inferred in the old
Rocky Mount Cemetery by the side of he1
father and sister, to await the coming oil
the resurrection.
We miss thee from our home. dear darling.
We miss thee from thy place;
A shadow Ger our life is casts
We miss the sunshine of thy face.
