OBITUARY.

Susie Olinger (nee Body was
born August 30, 1886, and died
December Il, 1913, at the home
of her father, Mr.. james Body
in Big Stone Gap, Va. She
was married to MIR. p. l.. DIN
ger, Sept. 20, 1902. To them
we're born two daughters, now
Q and 10 years Of age. She
leaves these with her father
and mo Their, her husband, one
sister, and two brothers to
mourn their loss. The parents
and others who have known
her say she was always n good
girl. The father said; "She
has never given me a minutes
trouble in all her life" She
connected herself w i { h the
Methodist Church when she
was a little girl, and the Savior
whom she trusted then was
consciously with her to the last.
She talked of her departure as
a journey, and thoughtfully
got every thing in order. She
had no fear of daath, but said
she would love to live for the
sake of her husband and little
girls.
The funeral services were
conducted by her pastor, assist
ed by DR.. Martin, in the Meth
odist Church, after which her
body was buried in the city
cemetery where Gods angles
will watch over her dust until
the resurrection. May the God
whom she loved comfort her
loved ones, and be more than a
mother to the little girls.

OF the three hundred and
sixty.five days in each year, in
no one Of them is so much hap.
piness concentrated as in that
of Christmas. Parents and
guardians are made happy by
the expenditure o f labor and
money to please the young, and
the refining influence of these
acts on their own natures is of
more value to them than thrice
the amount of gold and silver
they have expended in procur-
ing them. Who is the man or
woman of fifty or sixty who
cannot look back over these
vanished years and recall with
pleasing associations some
token in his or her youth from
some kind friend on Christmas?
So will it be now, and from
generation to generation. The
real good and extended influ-
ence of these gifts to the young
we may not presume to meas
ure. In n refining sense they
are more durable and far ex-
coed their price in silver and
gold. a

THE BIG STONE GAP. eosT. WEDNESDAY. DEC. e.. leIs

In many ways Thanksgiving
is one of our most delight
full events. 1t comes at a time
when the rigors of winter are
not yet at hand. We have at
our disposal all the varied pro-
ducts of the soil, and the time
for season of partial rest for
the farmer is at hand. One of
its most delightful features,
which has become quite gener-
al, is the gathering together
under the old roof tree of all
the scattered sons and daugh
tiers on this day. Two, three
and sometimes four generations
thus meet aroud the festive and
hospitable table of h g old
homestead, and thus fraternal
ties are Strengthened and fiial
piety encouraged.

improvement In 1904. Twenty
five other counties, chosen in
the same States, where 40 per
cent of the roads were improved
in 1904, gave an increase in
population of 1888 or an av.
erage of 81, 1905 for each county.
If we once get into the mind
of the average American the
facts that good roads increase
population, increase individual
profits, decrease the individual
cost of living, upbuild h e
schools and accelerate commu-
nifty progress, we then shall
have blazed most of the way to
a national system of improved
highways. - Richmond-Times
Dispatch.

A Cheerful Giver.

"The Lord loveth n cheerful
giver," and at is more blessed
to give than to receive" are
faithful sayings, and worthy
of all acception. Give where
your gift is needed, where it
brings Joy and gladness, and
your own heart will swell with
real pleasure. TO lavish gifts
upon the rich, the strong, the
powerful, in the hope that you
may receive in turn, is mean
gro, cling and pitiful. Don't
belitile yourself that way Give
freely only where love prompts,
or better yet. go out among
Gods poor, hunt out those less
favored or less fortunate and
do acts that will brighten hui.
man lives and the brightness
will come back into your own
heart by reflection.
The great and noble charac-
tiers of the world, the men in
all ages who have been admir-
ed and loved have been the
generous men. The Stunned
and hated and despised crea-
lures of the human race have
always been the misers, the
stlngy, grasping, boarding
pinching wretches who valued
money above human souls, and
Rugged their wealth in the face
of misery. The world shouts
and laughs when such men die,
but it follows the generous men
to his grave with teaTe and real
sorrow.

What is Being Done to I'm
prove Roads the Coun-
try Over.

Wise the policy of the Amer
lean Automobile Association
in its session in Richmond, in
stressing and encouraging the
diverse interests bound up in
the development of good high
ways. If all these numberless
forces could be federated, their
co cooperation would soon trans
form this from n nation of bad
roads into a nation of good
roads.
Despite the ever increasing
flood of publicity as to the ben
etits of improved roads, there
is yet in the public mind too
little conception of the econmic
and social value of such agen-
cies. The idea of the good road
as the profit multiplier, school
developer and community
builder has not been impressed
sufficiently upon the average
man.
Ii seems to us that two of tn q
best sorts of arguments for a
good roads system are to be
found in a late statistical state
ment OF Director Logan W.
Page, of the United States
Office of Public roads, as to the
direct bearing of roads upon
school attendance.
In the good roads States of
Massachusetts,, Rhode Island
Ohio, Indiana and Connecticut
the average percentage of en-
rolled students attending school
was 77,14 in 1909. The average
percentage of improved roads
in those States was G492. In
the bad roads States of Alaba-
ma, Mississippi, Arkansas,
South Dakota and Georgia, the
average percentage of enrolled
Pupils in attendance was but
59.lG The average percentage
of roads improved was los.
\ strong economic justifica-
ton of good roads ia to be read
in the further statement that in
twenty. five counties, chosen at
random in twelve States, the
population from 1890 to 1900 de
ceased at the rate of 3,ll2 pei
county, a total for the twenty
five counties of 1928. The
same counties gave but an av.
erage of l . per cent of road

Christmas giving has long
been and will probably contin-
ne chief characteristic of the
days observance. By sue h
means do love and friendship
find happy expression. But
with it all let us not forget the
first great Christmas gift, which
came from the Father of Lights
with whom there ia neither
variableness n or shadow OF
turning--a gift which is ours
not only for all time but for all
eternity as we'll.

Christmas in Bethlehem.

No place in all the world has
greater interest in the Christ
mas season than Bethlehem.
The normal population of the
town whereIChrist was born is
less than 5000 but during
Christmas week it becomes a
great center of $4,000 or co, 900
souls, all eager to pay homage
to the place hallowed by the
Saviour's birth.
In Bethlehem people are
brought face to face with the
wonderful scenes which are
but feebly known to the rest of
the world, Here they may see
the place where the three wise
men OF the east halted after
their long journey, Here they
worship the shrine inclosing
the manger in which Christ
was born.
They walk along the same
road followed by the Virgin
Mary in her journey to the
city. They see buildings and
ruins which the eyes of the in
FAINT Christ rested upon. The
tiny city, crescent shaped and
beautiful to look upon, teens
with the realities which the
rest of the world celebrates.
