IN MEMORY OF TOLBERT LANE

Once more we have been brought face to face with that mystery which man calls death. The funeral rite Is a National Sacrament which has been observed in some form by all people, even barbarians from the earliest periods of the worlds history; and we assembled in Springdale last Friday in accordance with an impulse as uni versal as the human race and as en- during as love and sympathy, to per form the last earthly duty toward him who now sleeps in Bluff Cemetery, Springdale, Ark
 nave known Tolbert Lane ever since the Civil War 1 have always looked upon him as an honest, upright, good citizen; in other words he stood so high in my estimation above the average man that he might well be called a model man, while battering his way through life. Tolbert no doubt did things that he knew at the time was not just as he would have liked t to be done But there Is so much selfishness in all of the human race that some persons crimes over reach others one hundred per cent and l do not believe that there is man in Springdale today who can show up purer or better life than Tol- bert Lane lived was told by many good citizens while in Springdale last Friday that Tolbert Lane was one of the most charitable men in Spring dale and while acting as mayor no poor person ever asked him for bread and got a stone. He was a true friend to the worthy poor and they will sadly miss him.
 h conclusion I wish to admonish anyone who has al any time treasur- ed up any hate or i'll feeling against Tolbert Lane while passing through this life Of sin and corruption, to read that passage of Scripture where lot of men or rather reprobates brought lewd woman to be stoned to death. They no doubt were anxious for the job. Christ said to these reprobates, Let him that is without sin cast the first stone,' and when Christ looked around these reprobates were all gone. Then We are told in another passage of Scripture to first have the beam removed from our own eye so we can more clearly see how to remove the mote from our brothers or neighbor's eye
 h this peaceful, silent city of the dead We have laid to rest the mortal remains of our departed brother. May his evils and shortcomings be buried with him and his good live after him Peace be to his ashes and love and respect to his memory Let us sym pathIZe with his mlsfortunes and mis- takes remembering that there is no sky always cloudless. Let us forget his short comings, remembering that t IS human to err. Let us cherish the memory of his virtues, his kind words and many loving deeds to hu- manity especially the poor and needy
 lis but step from the gilded pal ace to the silent sepulchere. The pail, the coffin and the narrow house of clay must come to us all. Death levels all ranks and lays the humbest shepherds crook beside the royal scepter
 To Tolbert's family and relatives I extend my sincere sympathy, urging them to ever emulate his many vir tues, his smiling countenance. his many kind words and his many deeds of charity, so that when the end comes to them something good can also be said about them.

| WHAT PASCAGOULA
WANTS TO KNOW
The Answer is Found in the Statement
of a PascagouIa Resident.

From week to week, from year tC
year, there have been appearing in
these columns statements made by
neighbors, which we have all read with
great interest, and many of us with
great profit. But what we want to
know is, do they stand the greatest
test of all-the test of time? Here
is conclusive evidence on his point
from a Pascagoula man.
Ben H. Pickett, prop. Of taxi bus
mess, Canty St., says: For a long
time l knew my kidneys were out of
order but, as they didn't bother me
50 much at first, did nothing to stop
the trouble. Finally, l grew worse
and at last bought some Doan's Kidney
Pills. This medicine completely rid
me of the complaint and my health
has been fine ever since my cure"
Statement given May 81, 19OS.)
On January 4, 1918, Mr.. Pickett
said; "The cure Doan's Kidney Pills
made in my case has been permanent

James Boulware Wins Medal

James Boulware, Jr., who is at
tending Davidson College. Davidson,
n. c. has just been awarded the
Freshman improvement Medal in the
Eumenean Freshman Society. This
will be learned with interest and
pleasure by James many Lakeland
friends, who are not surprised, how
ever, as he is a very bright boy, and
was always at the head of his classes
here, being the valedictorian last
year.
Of the awarding of the medal, the
Davidsman, the college paper, says
1.-THE Freshman Improvement med
al in the Eumenean Freshman So
cicty has been awarded to ]. r.
Boulware.
Eat meeting held shortly before
Christmas the judges decided on
Boulware, not, however, until after
much deliberation. On account of re-
pairs on the hall and other matters,
the full quota of meetings was not
held, and hence it was hard to de-
termine exactly the progress made
by the members. All, however, have
shown an earnest spirit, and their
addition to the regular society will
bring in some good debaters and de-
chalmers. The initiation will take
place at the regular meeting Of the
society next Saturday night.

ACRL. AGENT OF
NORFOLK & WESTERN
RAILWAY, HERE; MAY
LOCATE BIG DEVELOPMENT
PROJECT HERE

Mr.. F. H. LaBaume, Agricultural
and immigration agent of the Nor.
folk & Western Railway, is in Lake
land with a view to launching a big
development project here, if suitable
land in sufficient quantity, can be
found. Mr.. LaBaume is looking for
several thousand acres of land on
which to locate what Is known as a
Little Farms Colony" and after a
survey Of the State, he is more fav.
orably impressed with Lakeland and
surrounding country than any other
place he has visited.
The Norfolk & Western Railway
has these little farms colonies all
through Virginia, and they have prov
en- great boon to the people and a
splendid success. If a tract can be
secured Mr.. LaBaume has an army
of workmen ready to come to clear
the land, dig bitches and virtually
make the farms from the ground
up Staple crops, such as corn, cot
ton. etc, would be grown on a large
scale as well as vegetables. These
farms would be sold, on easy terms,
to persons in the north desiring a
Florida home. Mr.. La Baume is be-
ing shown around by those having
propositions which would fit the bill,
and the more he sees the more he is
impressed with the advantages of
this section, its splendid healthful-
ness, etc, and it is believed that he
will, during his ten days stay, find
just what he wants and Lakeland will
have the advantage of this big new
development, which would bring hun.
dreds Of new families here as per.
manent residents.

An appreciatiye audience heard
Mr.. Owen R. Lovejoy. secretary of
the National Child Labor Commit
tee, speak at the First Methodist
church last night on the Safeguard
ing the Child in Peace and War
Rev. w. E. Pugh introduced the
speaker.
In part Mr.. Lovejoy said:
1T would be folly for us to as
sumo that because the country is ia:
in advance of most European coun-
tries in measures for the protection
and education of It's children there
is no danger that the children will
be sacrificed to the exigencies of the
moment, for even in our past days
of peace and industrial prosperity We
know perfectly well that many chill
drcn have been taken out of school
and sent into industry at time and
under conditions (which not only
fail to benefit them but initiate
against their future skill and eff
cheney.
when America entered the world
war one of the first impulses that
swept the country was to set aside
laws regulating the employment OF
children and to release children from
school to work on farms, in can
neies and factories This was pre-
cisely the mistake European nations
made when they entered the war.
CHOSE interested in safeguarding
the health and intellectual efficiency
OF the country have set to work to
redeem the situation from further
ruin. An educational budget is now
under consideration by the British
parliamet calling for more than
100000 pounds in excess of any
educational budget ever considered
by British parliament before.
Furthermore they are undertaking
now to guarantee a full educational
program to every child up to four
teen years of age without exception
and part time continuation schooling
to children between IA and IS.
"England's experience and her
realization that the protection and
education of her children could moi
be neglected in time of war did not
prevent a number of States in this
country from authorizing the sus'
pension of child labor or compulsory
education laws as war measure
Instead of the war being an excuse
for lowering standards. Mr.. Love1oy
