II glittering things In life were always
golden,
If every cloud silver lining had,
II only friendship made in passing
could be holden
If everything in life were joys, and
nothing sad.
If mothers were not parted from their
children.
If companions were not left alone
with care,
If no ties wore formed on earth to be
transplanted,
If heaven itself were only bleak and
bare.
If only we could understand Gods
method,
If sorrow never entered into our
lives,
If sadness never came to us In lifetime
If husbands were not parted from
their wives,
If only life were but bed of roses,
If no thorns on them were ever
made to grow,
If our pathway only could be strewn
with flowers,
If on flowery beds Of ease to Heaven
we'd go.
THEN
Then we never would have needed any
Savior,
Then God never would have sent
His only son,
Then this earth would have been the
only Heaven,
Then our joys on earth would never
have been done.
Then the sorrow that Is ours here in
lifetime,
Then the heartaches that we have
to bear each day,
Then the pangs Of being parted from
our loved ones,
Then and only then would from us
pass away.
Since Adam in the garden ate the
apple,
And sin is loosened up here on thii
earth,
Our loved ones will be taken as they
are given,
And our hearts are torn and bleed.

The precious ones we loved here are

Where no sorrow or sad psrtings
come again,
If We only spend our days in prepa'

We will join them where the blessed
Savior reigns. j. q. }.

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT.
Adopted by the Womans Missionary
Society of the Presbyterian Church.

~ wv IL.
In the name OF tho Womans Mis-
sionnry Society of the Presbyterian
Church, Tazewcll, Va, the following
resolutions OF love and esteem were
written:
Whereas, God, in His providence,
has called to her eternal homo our
faithful member, Mrs. Eliza Chapman
and,
Whereas, this society has lost one
OF its earliest members, on whose deep
spirituality and conservation most
largely contributed to the strength of
our organization, be it
Resolved, That we bow to the wig
dom of God, who removed from our
midst one whose influence is so great
ly needed
Second, That while we sorrow be-
cause we see her face no more, and
will miss her sweet and wise counsel,
we praise God for the gift of her life,
and influence among us.
Third, That we commend her unfal-
tering trust in God, her implicit faith
in His word, and her love and devo-
ton for His house.
Fourth, That we bear testimony to
her unsclfsh devotion to her Masters
work, in that beyond her strength she
was faithful as n members OF our So
ciety untnl exhausted by her untiring
service of love, she awaited the well
come summons, "Come ye blessed Of
My Father enter into thy reward"
Her spirit returned to her God who
gave and redeemed it, her body frail
with years we laid to rest beneath
coverlet of flowers to await the res
direction morn.
"Long through the years we shall
miss her,
Dear face that sleeps under pail;
The clasp Of hand true and tender
And the smile that gladdened us oil.
And up through the mist Of the morn
ing,
And the afternoons suset, glow,
We shall miss the footsteps returning
And the presence that cheered US 80.
But we know that beyond the dark
portals
There's cline that is fragrant
fair,
And her glorifed presence awaits us,
And the same smile will welcome
us there"
Fifth, That copy Of these reso-
lutions be sent, with sympathy and
love, to her family; that the secretary
of our society be instructed to spread
them upon its minutes and have them
published in our town papers.

Merchants Are Accommodating
While the streets are torn up

chants are doing everything to as
sist their customers in making
shopping as easy as possible.
They are delivering a great deal
of their customers purchases to
their buggies and automobiles on
the side streets and at the hitch
in yard. They will deliver all of
the purchases when the customer
requests them to do so. In some
instances the merchants have sug-
gested that patrons drive to the
rear of their stores where heavy
purchases can be loaded into the
vehicles direct. Many people are
taking advantage of this method
of reaching the stores and are
finding it satisfactory. The bar

East Side Road Work

Washington Times-The Hand
County Commissioners were here
last Friday and Saturday getting the
new grading outfit started on the
road southwest of town. The county
now has a first class grading outfit,
a powerful gas engine. an elevator
and a large blade grader. From the
end Of the turnpike south of town a
mile west they are just using the
blade grader and are apparently do
ing a good job. From the Lynsby
corner the grade will be run straight
south to Sand Creek, the county
outfit putting it in for five miles.
The Rose Hill board has not vet
made definite arrangements for their
part of the work. though it is quite
probable that they will get the same
rig to do the work. However, there
is some little talk of purchasing a
township grader for general use in
that district. 1t is gratifying to
know that this work is starting out
50 well.

Do You Use the Newspapersp

An exchange asks a few pertinent
questions which affect many people
who just do things without thinking.
That paper says:
If a member of your family died
would you print the obituary on a
billboard?
If your wife entertained would
you sent an account of it to the the
atre program man?
If you had a wedding in your fam
lily would you advertise it in a hotel
register?
If you do anything of public merit
or enterprise do YOU go around to
the public bulletin boards to see it
mentioned there?
In every case you call for and ex-
pect the services of the newspaper.
Why not be fair and give YOUR need
ed advertising to the papers?
