Mrs. Fannie Morris, wife OF
J L. B. Morris, and daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. w. D.. McCarty,
died at her home near Richmond,
August II. 1913.
Deceased was born December
1872, being Al years of age.

Der Of the Baptist church from
her childhood.
Mrs. Morris was another good
mother, whose life shone with
benevolence and was moved with
fortitude to stand firm beneath
the cross of rearing her children.
She welded a pious influence
among her friends which will
never be effaced from the souls
of those loved ones. Her strug-
gle for life when the fatal illness
seized her was bravely made,
''but over the river the boat
man came, and she left US with
human love and faith by death
mistaken.
She leaves a husband and eight
children, a mother, two sisters
and three brothers, and a host
of relatives and friends.
The remains were followed to
Andrews Chapel cemetery by a
long procession of mourners, and
the funeral services were con-
Quoted by Rev. Baker, who spoke
words of consolation to the be-
reaved husband, children and
sorrowing relatives and friends.
The sharpest pang that ever
comes to the human heart is the
loss of mother. How oppressive
the heat, how bitter the cold,
heavy the burden, how weari-
some the day, how dark the
night when mother IS gone"
When the Creator would speak
to us in tenderest tones, he says:
''As one whom his mother COM
forth, so will / comfort YOU

Report on Hookworm

Report of the work done on
hookworm disease in Lee county
for the two weeks closing Sep
TENDER 6:
Total examinations made, 628;
total found infected, II or IL 3
per cent.
Have you. as parents, had your
children examined? If not you
should do so at once, as it is your
duty as a parent to see that your
child is free Of all disease so that
he may grow up to be a strong
and healthy citizen. The State
is having this great work done.
at no expense to the people, in
order to protect the school child
rem of our State from the enorm-
Gus loss of education as a result
of the devitalizing effects of this
disease, which many of our edu-
Gators estimate to be as much as
40 per cent.
The schools will soon open and
your child should be examined
before it enters the coming ses-
sion, and then you should use
your influence in getting your
neighbours family examined, as
one child in a school will often
infect many before the term
closes. You should see that your
school is free of disease, and TO
do this you will only have to CO.
operate with those in charge of
the work.
Come out and hear the lectures
at the various places.
The work is in charge of DIR.

The Farmers Union in session
at Salina, Kan, fixed the price
at which members will sell this
years crop of cotton at Is cents
a pound. Like all questions.
there are two sides to the matter
of fixing prices of a commodity.
There must be a getting together
of the seller and buyer before a
deal is consummated. An arbi-
tra-y price by one party cannot
always be maintained over the
law Of supply and demand.
