death by drowning to occur in Mr..
Hoops family. In the great food Of

were drowned in almost the identical
place where his little son lost his life
Friday. His baby by his first wife fell
into boiler of hot water and was scald-
ed to death shortly after his second mar
rage. His son, George was killed about
three years ago while coupling cars on q

drank an excessive quantity of chicken
broth. which caused her death, and his
first wife died in a very similar manner.
From the three unions there have been
seventeen children, almost half of whom
have met tragic deaths. May God bless
the bereaved ones in this last great sor-
row.

A Letter From Prof. StrOther.
Union Hall, Va. April Goth

Union Hall, Va, April Goth.
Mr.. Editor
One year ago you were kind enough
to publish a letter from me. In the
first part of that letter said got here
| (meaning Martinsville) April LIST, from
trip south. visited Columbia, Man
ming, Clemson College and SpartanburR.
). C., and Augusta and Atlanta in Geor-
gia on that trip. 1t is amazing, almost
passing belief, the wealth of the south.
In that letter | mentioned q number of
things as illustrating this, among them
being the many fine churches, colleges,
railroads, cotton mills, public school
buildings and especially the fine country
roads, fine ouggies, carriages, automo-
biles and many other things indicating
wealth, culture and refinement.
Since then l have been to Missouri,
oklahoma, South Carolina, Georgia and
Alabama In August / left home for
Missouri. During that month and Sep
TENDER / attended the hurdle races at
the University of Virginia; the State
Farmers Institute at Staunton, of
which am member; two chatauquas
in Missouri and three fairs in different
states, and during December and the
last two months l have visited friends
and relatives in Columbia and Manning.
Greensboro, Ala, and the magic town
of Seminole, Okla. To show my appre-
citation of the latter state, / purchased
twenty lots while visiting there. Now,
Mr.. Editor, is not the above quite trip
for man in his 88th year?
On the way back to my Virginia home
l tarried while in Memphis and Chat
tanooga, Tenn, visiting pupils whom 1
taught more than sixty years ago
Never in all my life have l been more
kindly treated everywhere than on this
last trip. | was taken to many elegant
homes and entertained with that hospi-
tally characteristic of the southern
people in ante-bellum times.
There are many pleasures and much
happiness for those who have been bless
ed with good health and all needed com
forts, not only for those who have lived
four score years but also for those who
have attained to five score, if we would
but remember that: Goodness with
contentment is great gain" Christ says:
Let not your heart be troubled" and
tells US to task" He tells us a mother
may forget her child but He will never
forget US. And if we but live as God
tells us to, why should we not make the
fifth score of twenty years the happiest
and most useful part of our lives?
