Mrs Fannie Deans Birthday.


On Friday afternoon, April 10, be-
tween thirty and forty members OF
the Baptist Church and other friends
gathered at the pleasant home of Mr..
and Mrs. James Dean on Maple ST.,
to extend greetings and congratula-
tons to Mr.. Deans mother, Mrs. Fan
ME Dean, upon her eighty-first birth
day anniversary.
After q very pleasant social hour
the company united in singing some
of the favorite hymns of bye gone
DAYS, when Mrs. Dean was active in
the music services Of the Church.
Rev. Joseph S. Brown conducted
devotional service, and gave brief
address suitable to the occasion, and
presented a slight token of the love
and esteem in which the guest OF
honor" is held by her church nd
neighborhood friends. Letters OF
greeting were read from two of her
former pastors, Messrs. Fuller and
Clarke and other absent friends.
Miss C. NJ. Reynolds, whose muse is
ever at the command Of her friends,
read an original poem, after which
refreshments were served, and at an
early hour the company returned
home, wishing many added years of
happiness, IL this be the Fathers will,
to one who Is the oldest living mem
Der Of the Baptist Church, with per-
hans one exception. All those who
were workers in the church when
Mrs. Dean united, have passed to
their reward, together with the pas
tor, the Rev. Dr. Archibald of pre-
cious memory, who received her into
membership.
"They also serve who only stand
and wait"
Light Amid The Shadows.
How many shadows darkly fall,
Now and again, upon us ALL
When welcome joys burst into bloom
Come sorrows stormy clouds of
gloom,
And night shuts down with windy
sky,
And lows sweet petals break and fly.
Tis hard TO see the brightness fade
/ Which some glad day for US has
made.
l.Tis hard to drop some dear delight
Deep and forever out Of sight.
50 bitter-hard to feel the world
Lies Ger for us in darkness furled
But through whatever depth Of shade
The pathway for cur feet is laid,
our lamp Of faith, kept burning
bright.
win give us cheer and guide US right
And show us glorious things TO come
When BY Gods grace we reach our
Home.
o Sister, in whose darkened way
We set loves candle-gleam today
TO mark the place where, starting
new,
Another year brings gifts TO you.
We wish its weeks and months ma.
shine
With brighter beams Of Love Divine
And may II be that once again,
And more than once, with voice an
pen
And loyal hearts We shall be here
To wish you health and bir,hda
cheer.
And bring, as we today have brought
A token Of cur tender thought

EARLY OPENING
OF THE COTTON EX-
CHANGE PROMISED
Good Roadway Made on Preliminary
Work-Some New England Mills
Are Buying More Freely of
Medium Goods.

New York, Oct. 22-There is good
basis for the statement that cotton ex-
change affairs are progressing so favor-
able, in spite of certain unavoidable de-
lays, that prospects are bright for rer
sumption of business at a comparative
~ early date. At the exchange this
morning several well-informed members
took the view that the re-opening would
not be delayed as much as another
month The adoption of the bylaws
Tuesday placed the local contract in full
compliance with the terms of the new
cotton law. The proposal for the forma-
ton OF a clearing house was considered
in tentative form of managers. 1t
may be stated also that the plans for
the syndicate are making good Roadway
and that the success OF this venture
seems absurd.
The leading members of the exchange
while not altogether satisfied with the
Lever cotton law. or the manner in
which its terms are being worked out
by the department OF agriculture, feel
nevertheless that no obstacles should be
placed in the way of the administration
OF the statute. At the same time they
recognize the existence of certain defects
in the law, some OF which would even de-
feat the original purpose OF those who
framed the bill. Consequently they hope
that the department officials will be will
ling to listen to practical suggestions in
order 20 avoid confusion when the law
becomes operative.
There j. a moderately steady tone to
spots Some New England mills are
buying more freely of medium grades,
and this has relieved the Egessure in GER
lain Southern markets Wires were re-
,eiyed from the south this morning. how
,ver, stating that ia some localities 10
Nas impossible TO borrow as much as
sij per bale This seems TO bear out the
contention that the south is not helping
tself as il should Some opposition has
developed 10 the sl5o000.00o pool on the
round that tie south could obtain at
