every line he writes and happier to

Why in his last article he intimated
that he might be at home to write
his next Is that not welcome news
to his many friends every where?
The above kindly reference to the
editor of The GOLD LEAF is from the
LittIeton News Reporter OF last week.
This Is to inform Brother Walker
that We are at home but not writing
much. That will have to be ''cOn-

COLONEL HICKS SUCCESSOR.
Superintendent of the Oxford Or
pha7 Asylum a Wise One.

pUaH asylum w 'S- ODS.
The following which is taken from
the Orphans Friend OF last wesk will
be read with interest throughout the
State of that noble institution, the
Oxford Orphan Asylum. The new
superintendent is "a worthy successor
of that grand old man Col. ". J.
Hicks, whose recent de tn is mourned
wherever he was known.
Mr. Brown has been very sick Tor
more than a week suffering from a
carbuncle on the back of his neck.
and his condition at one time was
considered quite critical He went
to Richmond for treatment and grew
worse when he returned home.
The article from the Orphans
Friend follows:
Mr.. r, L. Brown by action of the
Board of Directors that met in Dur
ham Dec 13, 1910, assumed the sup
erint endency of Oxford Orphan Asy-
lum Feb. l, 1911. As assistant sup
erinteudent, Mr.. Brown has served
the institution we'll for two years and
now comes into full charge expert
enced and well qualified for his duties.
He has rich assets through a close
friendship and intimate association
with Col. Hicks. The latter in the
last year or two of his administra-
ton was kept from the more active
duties on account Of declining health,
which placed Mr.. Brown whore he
received pratical knowledge of affairs
and the benefit Of Col. Hicks wise
counsel
His purpose as he himself expressed
it is to carry out the plans set forth
by Col. Hicks for the institution. No
Innovations are necessary he thinks
and to hold the institution up to the
high standard that it now maintains
will be his policy.
