through Ladysmith last week.
According to the smooth Mr. Had

in Egypt and was mentioned in the
Bible by Isaiah. Placed in water it
grows in ten minutes. In three
months it sends out tiny shoots on
which hang the most fragrant flow

And Mr.. Haddad sold his plants
by the score.
Now this is what H. Blanchard,
local botanist, says Of the plant:

And this is what G. Francis At

his text book on botany:
One of the tropical species Of
selaginella (club moss) is known as
resurrection plant or resurrection
moss. When it dries it rounds up
in a ball. The roots are thus drawn
from the soil and it is often rolled
along the ground by the wind. With

becomes fresh and green. 1t is Of

Memory Mrs. Joe Davis.

The announcement of the death
of Mrs. Joe Davis, of Number Sew
en-, was a painful surprise to many
no less to the writer of these
lines. 1t was our pleasure to meet
and become acquainted with Miss
Mollie, as her friends all called her,
during her girlhood. She was the
daughter of Col. and Mrs. Morris,
who came from the South soon after
the close of the Civil war. The
subject Of this sketch was an &C
complished young lady. So sweet,
affable, kind and courteous to every
one. People always felt like saying
after meeting her: That they had
one more name to add to their long
list of worthy acquaintance. She
was true and trusting wife, a
proud and doting mother, watching
over her children, instilling in them
manly Christian principles from
their earliest childhood up to the
time of her death. Her aged hus-
band has lost a loving companion,
her son a doting mother and the
community good neighbor and
friend
The Christian fortitude that sup
ported her joys and sorrows through
life will cause her memory to linger
long with those who loved her.
In the language of the poet:
"You may break, you may shatter
The rose if you will,
But the scent of the rose
Will hang around it still"

Obituary.

On Sunday evening, March 81,
1915, the death angel visited our
home and took from us the sweet
spirit of our dear mother. Oh how
sadly we do realize that mother is
dead. She is sweetly sleeping now
in a brighter home than our own.
She was good Christian woman.
Everyone that knew her loved her.
Home is so sad now without mother.
Never more can we see her pale face
at the table or by the fireside, but,
oh the joy that we have when we
think Of being Joined together with
mother, sister and little brother in
that beautiful home where there is
no more parting. Mother called us
to her bedside and said: / am ready
to so and kissing us asked us to
meet her in heaven. She bore her
aftiiction with great fortitude. She
leaves behind a heart-broken hus-
band, one son and three daughters
and an aged mother, three brothers,
one sister and a host of relatives
and friends to mourn her sad death.
So, far you well, mother, for a
little while. This may be the last
word spoken, / will meet you in
that happy home where Christian
ties are never broken.

ship Bouvet were blown up by float

remainder of the allied feet in at

the Dardaneles Thursday. The crews
of the two British ships were vir-

fire, but an internal explosion took
place on board the Bouvet after she
had fouled the mine and most of
her crew of over 900 were lost. The
Bouvet sank within three minutes
of the time that she hit the mine.
The waters in which the ships were
lost had been. swept of mines, but
