A DELIGHTFUL EVENING.

A pleasant and profitable even
ing was spent at Briar Hill
schoolhouse an Friday, August Is.

talk on Home Dairying," Hav-
ing taken special work in this al
A. & M. Mr.. Williams gives
valuable information not only to
those who are interested in g
bountiful supply of milk and but
ter the year round for their fam.
lilies, but to those who are max

cial scale.
Mr.. Williams is doing a great
work as agriculturist at the A,
H. S. and in extension work over
Rankin. His advice and assist
ance is being sought by many o1
our most substantial farmers.
Miss Jones gave in a forcefu
manner an appreciated talk or
''The Value of Home Science as
a Study" Having taken this
work at l. l. & c., at Tulane ano
after two years as teacher OF
Home Science in the A. H. S.,
Miss Jones is really at the heart
of the work, and all who heard
her realized her worth. Already
the impetus Of Home Science

suffering with the sweet chris
tian spirit and fortitude tina. had
characterized her entire life.
Truly it was the sunset of 9
noble and beautiful life.
The devoted family and loving
friends administered to her
every want.
She was a girl with a gener-
Gus heart; she loved her home,
her flowers, her friends and her
church with all the warmth of
her splendid nature and gave to
each the full measure of devo-
ton.
She will be sadly missed in the
home and in this community,
and among the large circle of
friends and loved ones who are
left to mourn her loss.
She is gone, but the memory
of her life will linger like a halo
in the home and in the hearts of
those who knew and loved her.
She passed away as she had
lived, with strong bouyant
faith in her Lord and Saviour,
and with the blessed hope of a
glorious resurrection and reunion
with her loved ones in that bet
ter land where there are no part
ings and no tears.
The funeral was conducted in
the Presbyterian church by her
pastor, Rev. Mr.. .McJunklin. the
interment taking place in Bran
don cemetery. a large concourse
of sorrowing friends witnessing
the sad and impressive cere-
monies.

OF MANY ILLS.

Of the numerous ills that affect
humanity a large share start with
constipation. Keep your bowels

only move the bowels but improve
the appetite and strengthen the
digestion. Obtainable every

ment in Missouri. It is sweeping
the state like a prairie fire. The
wisdom of Democratic Legisla-
lures is bearing fruit. The laws
under which good roads bonds
are voted are all Democratic
laws, and are splendid tribute
to the constructive and patriotic
statesmanship of the Democratic
party. AT last the people Of
Missouri are coming to UNDER
stand that good roads are not
made at Jefferson City. Only
the laws are made there. The
roads must be built at home, by
setting in molten the legal mach.
inery which the state government
has provided. No state in the
Union has better road laws than
Missouri. The Democratic party
has seen to that. 1t is now up to
the people to build the roads
and they are doing it, too.
