DEATHS

While not a surprise, friends of the
family were sorry to hear of the
death, on Saturday morning last !,
of Mrs. Holmes Stephenson which
occurred at the old Revercomb
home on the lower Bullasture.
As intimated above, Mrs. Steph
enson's maiden name was Rever-
comb and her marriage to Mr..
Holmes Stephenson, of Meadow
Dale, took place less than two
years ago. She had been in de-
clining health for long time, but
had strength enough to 60 to her
old home some two months ago.
She grew worse again and fer sew
eral weeks prior to her death, all
hope of recovery was abandoned.
Mrs. Stephenson was 20 years of
age and possessed of many woman
ly virtues. She and her young hus-
band enjoyed the friendship and
esteem of all who knew them,
a nd the rudely severing of their
brief and happy union is the occas-
ion of grief for the lost one and
deep sympathy for the living.
Mrs. Williams, an octogenarian
of the Back Creek Valley, died on
Monday morning last at the home
of her son, Ellis Williams, near the
Bath line. She had been i'll a long
time. Mrs. Lee Gum, of Wander
pool, was her daughter, and went
down Tuesday morning to attend
the funeral.
Rev. N. A. Parker, pastor of the
Pres byterian church, went down
Tuesday to conduct the funeral
service which took place at 3 p. m.

he done at a time when it woulc
least interfere with farm work.
Later when there was a tendency
to develop ruts or holes, each
would again apply the same treat
ment lust following a rain. Only
a rain that would make the fields
too wet to work for at least a few
hours would soften the road suffici-
emily to make it suitable for drag
gipg; so that again the farmer
would be enabled to do his road
work without undue interference
with his farm work.
A very important point may here
be noted, viz: That by this plan
the roads in any district, no matter
how large, even in an entire coun-
ty, could all be dragged and
smoothed and put in good condi-
ton within a few hours while they
were in exactly the right condition
to do it most effectually and at the
least cost, while if the work had to
be done by a few men and teams
even in limited district, the road
surface would become too dry and
solid to do efficient work before all
of it could be reached.
1t is evident too that such a plan
could not be worked by our road
ordering his men out
to do the work, for the reason he
could never know in advance when
the right time would be, as that de-
ponds on the weather, and when
the condition suddenly becomes
just right, before he could "warn
out" his hands and get them to
work in many instances the favora-
bic condition would have passed
and it would be 100 late.
