Many people entertain the false
impression that class for beginners
is organized in the first primary grades
at the beginning, of the spring term.
Rather than to offend mistaken par
ents who, in the past, have sent their
children to school for the first time in
the spring. the school board and
principal have allowed these children
to start in at that time, but the dis
continuance of such custom is now
recommended to the patrons of the
school, by the school board, for
obvious reasons.
They declare that to conduct three
classes in one room, especially in the
primary, demands so much of the.

OBITUARY

After more than eighteen months
OF almost constant suffering caused
by injuries received from a fall -,
Mrs. Elizabeth Louisa Kincaid
passed away on Saturday, January
18th, 1913 at 6 p. m. at her home
near WiiIiamsvile, Va. in the 72nd
year of her age. She was the
youngest and last living child of
VIM. R. Steuart, who, for many
years and until his death was an
elder of the Nilliamsville Presby-
terian church. Mrs. Kincaid had
also been member of this church
since quite Young.
On the morning of January 18th
she was stricken with Paralysis
from which she never regained con-
seriousness. Many friends did all
that loving hands could do, but on
Saturday she gradually stopped
breathing and her soul left its
earthly abode, and scared to its
Haven of Rest. On Monday fol-
lowing her remains were beautifully
laid away in the cemetery at Wood
land church.
: The high esteem in which she
Ayas held by her large circle of
Friends, was shown by the many
visits made her from far and near
during those long months of soil
tudess Several months before her
death she told friends that she was
ready to die the way was prepared.
She left an aged husband and All
only daughter, Mrs. Henderson
Lockridge to mourn their loss.
Both were almost constantly by
her bedside using untiring efforts
to make her comfortable during
her affection.
Our deepest sympathy is with
them.
May the Great Comforter be
with them, and help them to pre-
pare to meet her in that Great Be-
wound where there is no more sin,
no more sorrow, no more pain, no
more death, where the saints are
happy forever with the Lord.

words II are a burden to the
State, receiving over half a million
dollars annually more than they
pay in.
State Auditor Moore's annual re-
port covers the fiscal year ending
Septempber 50, 1912, and shows
that through failure of these seven
tv-one counties to pay their just
and proportionate share OF taxes
thew are drain on the public treas
ury to the extent of more than
half a million dollars.

1t is the hope of Mr.. Moore, how,
ever, that this situation will be
largely remedied by the next Gen
eral Assembly, which will again be
urged to revise the obsolete taA
laws of the State with view OF
placing the system on a modern
and reasonable basis.
Just now he is engaged in work
ing out a scheme calling for segre-
CATION of the subjects of taxation,
which he is confident will prove a
solution of the problem if enacted
inta law. The object aimed at in
this plan is the application of GER
tain kinds of revenue solely to
State purposes and of other kinds
solely to local purposes.

MARVEL IN GATHERING NEWS
Ordinary Man Cannot Appreciate
What the Production of Great
journal Involves.

The ordinary reader, as he opens his
daily journal, is content with a vague
feeling that it somehow edits and COM
poses itself; he seldom reflects upon
TIE immense amount Of organization,
upon the care in the selection Of news,
and even upon the mechanical skill in
adjustment so that every column may
be exactly filled, which are required
for even the most normal issue. He
seldom reflects upon the speed with
which it all has to be done. That a
great paper should appear morning
after morning generally correct in its
news. readable and sound in its liter
airy matter, accurate in its printing,
that it should be distributed all over
tn country and the world at the right
moment, is none the less marvel
because it has happened SO often that
people have ceased to look upon it
with surprise.

Good Takers and Good Writers.

Good takers are rarely good writ.
ers, and vice versa. Good takers are
those who fill up the conversational
gaps. A conversational gap is the alb.
sence of talk. Gaps come when
thought lags. Takers must be ready
to jump right in and fill up the gaps
without thinking.
Good writer's must make gaps;
great, huge thinking gaps, which must
be used for concentrated meditation,
after which comes the written result
Of that meditation. Good takers must
stop talking when they commence to
write. This is always hard for them
Good writer's are too careful what
they say to consent to fill sudden talk
ing gaps with mere chatter.
This may make it clear to many a
woman why her literary ambitions are
so slow to materialize.--Life.

How to Attract the Birds.

"The matter of attracting birds to
your yard is all very simple, particu-
larly if you happen to have an old
grape-arbor, a bit of shrubbery or a
tree or two. Of course, they won't
come without encouragement. 1t may
be, even, that you will have to give up
your old cat, but you will soon find
the sacrifice amply repaid. For to the
heart OF little bird, cat is the very
embodiment Of prawling destruction.
Then you must have feeding-board,
on which to spread such dainties as
bits of boiled potato, sodden bread lin
summer), cracked corn, rice. crushed
nuts Of various kinds, trimmings from
meat, and suet. For birds soon grow
to love the hands that feed them
