In Loving Memory of Our Dear,
Sweet Child.

One bitter, said year since you lett
rs Our darling Euphrozine, who
died in Columbia, S. c., Feb. Goth,
1916 eighteen years of age, only
daughter of Jake w. and Octavle NC
MILAN. How Oft have We waited
and listened in vain for those loving
footsteps that never came, and that
loving, cheerful voice, and sweet
smile. Oh, that we could find words
to express our deep loss, and how we
miss you, our precious child. You
were our pride, our JOY, and our COM
fort. You were true, obedient, du-
tiful. affectionate daughter, and
loving. kind sister. You were our
sunbeam and our guiding star and
our hearts are broken, and home is
ruined, wrecked and crushed. by your
death, our dearest child. But the
tie of our love which bound us, can
not be severed even in death, for we,
you and 7, your mother, had given
the clay to God.
Oh. God, how mysterious and strange
are Thy ways,
To take from us our loved one IN
the best of her days,
Only family now we see,
With a darkening veil between;
But a blessed day is coming,
When her glory will be seen.
One sad year since you left US,
Whom we cherished and loved so
dear;
Can we help but miss you and feel
lonely,
When we do not see our darling
near.
No more your sweet, kind and loving
face
Shall light the gloom of our home;
Yet in love We see you. our darling,
While in sorrow we are alone.
If love and care. prayers and tears
could death prevent,
Your days. our darling, would not
be spent;
Life was desired, but God could see,
Eternal rest was best for thee.
1t was so bitter, hard to part with
you,
Oh. My darling child, so hard tt
know YOU were dead;

But we hope soon to meet you,
Where no farewell tears are shed.


Prayers and tears were all in vain,
An angel came, and took you
From this world of toll and pain;
Days of sadness is all we know,
Tears of sorrow silently flow,
Fond memory keeps our darling
daughter near US,
Though God took you home to suffer
no more.
May her soul rest in peace.
Your devoted and affectionate,
PAPA AND MAMMA.
In sad. but loving memory of our
only deal est sister, Euphrozine NC
MILAN, who died one year ago, FEB.
25th, 1915.
You are not forgotten, dearest sister,
Nor will you ever be, dear;
AS long as memory lasts,
We will always think of thee.
You suffered much, yet murmured
not;
We watched you day by day,
Until at last, with broken hearts,
We knew you had passed away.
Sweetest sister, you are remembered,
But comfort it's hard to find;
Although you are absent,
You are always on our minds.
Sleep on, dearest Euphrozine,
Oh! how sweet to breathe thy
name;
In life we loved you truly and dear
ly,
In death we do the same.
Dearest sister, you have left us,
And thy loss We deeply feel;
But it's God, that has bereft us;
He will al our sorrows heal.
Yet again we hope to meet thee, oul
darling,
When the day of life is fled, .
And in Heaven we know We shall
greet thee,
Where no farewell tears are shed.

In sad, out loving remembrance of
Euphrozine Mcmillan, who departed

A year ago today, sister, you passed

And went to Heaven above;
And I hope to meet you there,
In the happy land of love.
She is gone, but not forgotten;
! Never will her memory fade;
! Loving thoughts will ever linger
Around the grave where she is

! FORGET her! No, l never will;
I loved her then, love her still;
! Her memory is as fresh today
AS in the hour she passed away.
DORA MCMILLAN,
In loving remembrance Of my dear
cousin, rIuphrozine Mcmillan, who
departed this life, Feb. 25th, 1915,
one year ago.
Oh, the memory of that evening,
/ AS we stood with breaking hearts,
! For the one we loved most dearly,
Pierced by deaths most cruel dart.
Long days and nights, she bore in
pain,
To wait for cure that never came;
But God who knoweth all things best.
Did still her pain, and gave her
rest.
Through all pain at times she'd
smile,
A smile of Heavenly birth;
And when the angels called her
home,
She smiled farewell to earth.
Heaven retaineth now our treasure,
Earth the lonely casket keeps,
And the sunbeams love to linger,
Where our darling cousin sleeps.
There was an angel land in Heaven,
That was not quite complete;
So God took our darling cousin,
To fill the vacant seat.

HALLOWEEN SOCIAL

The Halloween Pie Social at Blue
Bell school house was a success and
enjoyed by all. The program was
something new for a pie supper and
therefore interesting. 1t was as fol-
lows:
No. l. Peanut Hunt.-First prize,
package of peanut candy, won by
Mr.. Will Hottinger, finding II pea
nuts.
No. 2. Slow Mule Race.-First
prize, a package of stick candy, won
by Theodore Pointing. Time, l min
ute and 40 seconds.
No. 3. Broad Grin-First prize, a
cigar, won by Will Pointing, his smile
far SURPRISING all the rest, measuring
tx inches.
No. 4. Hurdle Race.-First prize,
consisting of suitable articles of
household work, was won by the light
weights-Mrs. Jesse Pointing, Mrs.
George Sharp. Mrs. w. w. Wight

No. 5. 440-yard dash.-First
prize. won by Clarence Sharp, time 80
seconds.
Then followed the fortune telling,
all the unmarried ladies in the house
trying with the witches clear and
soapy pans of water" also the jump
ing of lighted candles. The girls
wouldn't care to have their fate
known so we withhold their names.
Then the last on the program was
the Apple Bob, which was tried by
the school children, several going to
the bottom of the tub after the ap-
pies. Then came the pies, which Mr..
Will Hottinger auctioned, bringing
the sum of $24.40.
Was a good crowd and everybody
seemed to have good time

good in shape, size and laying quail

which has won such fame as heavy
producer of large white eggs and as a
good table fowl at the same time. The
greatest drawback to the dark variety
as table fowl has been its dark pin
feathers. This, however, is entirely
eliminated in the new variety and this
feature alone is sufficient to commend
the variety to the producers of table
fowls for certain markets.
