There is every good reason
to abolish the liquor traffic and
no good reason to continue it.
THE SALOON BENEFITS
NO OTHER INDUSTRY OR

The liquor traffic's taxes do
not meet the public expense it
creates, and the people gener-

In Memoriam--Geo. Phillips.

On the beautiful sabbath day of Oct.
9th, 1918, the noble spirit of George
Gladstone Phillips passed from this world
of war, sickness, sin and woe, into the
Wonderland, there to rest with the scores
of other noble heroes who have given
their lives for their country.
George Phillips was born April 18th,
1894, and most of his childhood DAYS
were spent in Rockingham where among
friends and relatives his remains were
laid to rest in Eastside cemetery Oct. 9Th,
1918.
He had heroically underwent two
operations for ulcer or the stomach. He
suddenly took pneumonia from which he
died.
George was an expert telegrapher and
had worked with the S. A. l.. for three
years. But several months ago he enlis-
ted in the Navy and was sent to the
Naval Training School at Charleston, S.
c., July 22nd and a few weeks later trans
ferred to the Radio branch there. In a
letter to the Post-Dispatch few weeks
ago he spoke OF hearing messages from
Berlin add other points across the ocean.
Our friend has made the supreme sacri-
flee; he has given his all, his own life that
freedom might remain the choicest pos
sessions of the people Of the earth. And
we shed tears of loving kindness and
tender mercy to the bereaved and to the
distressed and to point to the stars in the
crown our friend shall wear if all was
well with his soul. He has builded for
himself a monument more enduring than
stately stone and more beautiful than
pure marble. He is hero in the hearts
and minds of his countrymen And too
much cannot be said or done to magnify
his worth. 1t was with the blood of a
true patriot and liberty loving freeman
coursing through his veins that caused
him to enlist in the navy because he
knew that Navy life meant untold hard
ships great privations and great sacrifices,
yet he did not stop to consider the mat.
ter, but boldly took the step that he
might do his best for humanity, and that
equal rights be for all and special privi-
leges for none.
In the death of George Phillips the
state has lest loyal citizen and his rela.
tives man true as steel He leaves
three sisters, Mary Belle and Eva Phillips
and Mrs. ]. r. jerks, and four brothers
Robert, Mack, Willie and Archie. His
father died March 2lst, 1911, and his
mother June 18th, 1916, leaving to his
tender care his two sisters, Mary Belle
and Eva He was most devoted broth
er to them and did all in his power to
their benefit; and to those two girls we
extend our deepest sympathy, and ear
nestly pray that Gods richest blessings
may rest upon them and that His hand
may guide them to the other shore where
there they'll meet their brother, to part
from him no more:
A Friend.

a Good Woman Gone.

It has been said that no grander tribute
was ever paid person than HE was a
good man" or ''She was good woman
Such tribute whole section of country
in upper Richmond county comes to pay
to Mrs. Duncan Cele-.- better known as
Aunt Margaret" who was translated to
her heavenly home, Oct 18th, 1918.
A whole life of seventy years was given
to God No one knows when she be-
came christian-.-so far back does the
time date. And it was no mere surface
christianity, but christianity that be-
came the great motive power of life.
Till age and infrmity of body shut
her in" she was active in every service
of the church. No one will forget the
power of her christian life, as it found
its way to the hearts of the people, while
she carried on the Sunday School work
at Capel's Mill many years ago. She
loved God and she led the people to Him.
But October the 18th was a wonderful
day to (Aunt) Margaret. The light
was breaking upon her from that beauti-
full land where the Sun never sets" and
the flowers never fade" She asked that
they pray, and then she prayed. Oh what
prayer! Heaven and earth touched!
The work of earth was done, the arms
gently folded and saint lay back in the
arms of God. The body is laid to rest in
the family burying ground, now covering
the place where the house stood, in
which she was born seventy-fve years
ago. We pray that God may comfort
the husband, children, grand children,
and many friends who are made sad by
her going We shall meet again.

Obituary Mrs. Harriss.

It was with the deepest grief that her
MANY friends in Rockingham and else
where heard of the sudden death at
Goldston on October 18th Of Mrs. Beulah
Culberson Harriss, daughter OF Mr.. and
Mrs. w. r. Culberson, of Entwistle,. and
wife of Meader w. Harriss, of Collision.
Beulah Culberson, as we knew her, scat
tered Rladness and sunshine everywhere
she went and when the light of her life
went out, for the time being, before she
had completed her thirtieth year, dark
ness came not only to the two homes
where these years had been spent ana to
the making Of which she had contributed
so much, but to many others that had
been blessed by her presence. The taking
away of a young woman under such cir
cumstances is one of the mysteries OF life
that we do not at all understands and
doubtless never shall, until we know even
as we are known. Now we see through a
glass darkly but then face to face.
All that is now hard to understand shall
be made clear in yon heavenly land. This
good woman grew up in the atmosphere
of Christian home and hardly knew
what it was to be outside of the church.
However she united visibly with the
Methodist Church when very small
girl and lived within its communion and
walked in its ordinances with great accep'
tance until her walking days were over.
This writer was her pastor for one brief
year and he bears glad testimony to the
purity and brightness of her life and to
her valued help in every thing that looked
toward. the welfare of Gods Zion. And
now her Maker having called her pure
Spirit unto Himself we are sure that it is
well with her-.--but oh! the desolateness
of those hearts and homes that remain.
