Some people seem to have the impression that if their
affairs are left in the hands Of individuals as Executors)
that they will receive more prompt attention and a
Trust Company. 81.
This is not justified by experience.

prompt as legal limitations permit.
Individual Executors may never have another estate to
handle. They haven't therefore the same incentive to
prompt action that a Trust Company has.

In MemOriam.

"Silently, shadowly, some lives go,
And the sound of their voices is as
unheard
Or, if heard at all, tbs as faint as the
flow
Of beautiful waves which no storm
hath stirred. :"
On Saturday, March 18th, under the
blessed sun and beneath pail Of the
flowers she loved so well, was laid to
rest all that was mortal Of Ann Ellen
Bowie, daughter Of the late William
Benjamin and Ann Clarke Bowie, IN
the 9Th year Of her age.
During the twelve weeks of illness
that terminated a frail life, everything
that love could suggest to alleviate her
couch of suffering, was done, and she
was fortified with the ministrations Of
the Church.
The end came peacefully in the small
hours of the morning Of the 9th.
1t was the poet Joaquin Miller who
said, that Gin the hour Of death all we
may hold in our poor, dead hands is
what we have given away. Since
this be so, she went not empty handed.
All of her life was spent in the home
where she was born and there she gave
ever helping hand to all who appealed
to her for aid. She gave unquestlon-
ingly and unostentatiously, conceaiing,
if it were possible, from her left hand,
the good her right had done.
She possessed strength of character,
a keen sense of justice and was full OF
generous impulses. She was a pleasant
talker and being gifted with remark
able memory, she knew the history OF
the county and its families for genera
tions back, so that there were few
genealogical tangles that she could not
unravel and it gave her SO much pleas
ure to do SO. She might often have
noted in her lifetime, the look of won
der "that one small head could carry al
she knew
She had few life long friends whom
it was d pleasure to entertain each
Summer and | remember the satisfac,
ton with which they would settle them
selves for treat, when they couIo
draw her into reminiscent mood.
It is hard to realize that her chair i
vacant, that her light, quiet step viii
not be heard again, that the places thai
once knew her shall know her no more
but she has gone.
''Out of the shadows of sadness,
Into the sunshine of gladness,
Into the light of the blest;
Out of a land very dreary,
Out of world very weary,
Into the rapture Of rest. "
